Previously we reported that brief exposure of HL60 cells to a mixture of 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (CMI) and 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (MI) shifts the cells into a state of oxidative stress that induces apoptosis and necrosis. In this study, flow cytometric analysis showed that CMI/MI induces early perturbation of calcium homeostasis, increasing cytosolic and mitochondrial calcium and depleting the intracellular endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stores. The calcium chelator BAPTA-AM reduced necrosis and secondary necrosis, the loss of DeltaPsim and S-glutathionylation induced by necrotic doses of CMI/MI, but did not protect against CMI/MI-induced apoptosis, mitochondrial calcium uptake and mitochondrial hyperpolarization. This indicates that increased cytoplasmic calcium does not have a causal role in the induction of apoptosis, while cross-talk between the ER and mitochondria could be responsible for the induction of apoptosis. GSH-OEt pretreatment, which enhances cellular GSH content, reduced S-glutathionylation and cytosolic and mitochondrial calcium levels, thus protecting against both apoptosis and necrosis shifting to apoptosis. Therefore, the degree of GSH depletion, paralleled by the levels of protein S-glutathionylation, may have a causal role in increasing calcium levels. The mitochondrial calcium increase could be responsible for apoptosis, while necrosis is associated with cytoplasmic calcium overload. These findings suggest that S-glutathionylation of specific proteins acts as a molecular linker between calcium and redox signalling.
