Abstract: | Involvement of protein kinase C in the regulation of Ca2+ exit from intracellular stores of pig oocytes activated by prolactin was investigated, using the fluorescent dye chlortetracycline. In the presence of extracellular calcium, the inhibitor of protein kinase C Ro 31-8220 increased calcium exit from intracellular stores in pig oocytes after prolactin treatment. In calcium-free medium, Ro 31-8220 exerted effect on calcium release from intracellular stores. In calcium-free medium, prolactin did not stimulate calcium release from intracellular stores of oocytes in the presence of thimerosal, while in the presence of protein kinase C inhibitor, prolactin increased Ca2+ content from intracellular stores in such oocytes. These data suggest a direct involvement of protein kinase C in the processes of regulation of Ca2+ exit from intracellular stores of pig oocytes stimulated by prolactin. |
