Mouse islets were used to define the glucose-dependence and extracellular Ca2+ requirement of muscarinic stimulation of pancreatic beta-cells. In the presence of a stimulatory concentration of glucose (10 mM) and of Ca2+, acetylcholine (0.1-100 microM) accelerated 3H efflux from islets preloaded with myo-[3H]inositol. It also stimulated 45Ca2+ influx and efflux, 86Rb+ efflux and insulin release. In the absence of Ca2+, only 10-100 microM-acetylcholine mobilized enough intracellular Ca2+ to trigger an early but brief peak of insulin release. At a non-stimulatory concentration of glucose (3 mM), 1 microM- and 100 microM-acetylcholine increased 45Ca2+ and 86Rb+ efflux in the presence and absence of extracellular Ca2+. However, only 100 microM-acetylcholine marginally increased 45Ca2+ influx and caused a small, delayed, stimulation of insulin release, which was abolished by omission of Ca2+. At a maximally effective concentration of glucose (30 mM), 1 microM- and 100 microM-acetylcholine increased 45Ca2+ influx and efflux only slightly, but markedly amplified insulin release. Again, only 100 microM-acetylcholine mobilized enough Ca2+ to trigger a peak of insulin release in the absence of Ca2+. The results thus show that only high concentrations of acetylcholine (greater than or equal to 10 microM) can induce release at low glucose or in a Ca2+-free medium. beta-Cells exhibit their highest sensitivity to acetylcholine in the presence of Ca2+ and stimulatory glucose. Under these physiological conditions, the large amplification of insulin release appears to be the result of combined effects of the neurotransmitter on Ca2+ influx, on intracellular Ca2+ stores and on the efficiency with which Ca2+ activates the releasing machinery. 相似文献

The immediate reaction products of PLA2-mediated hydrolysis of phospholipids were tested for their ability to induce Ca2+ mobilization from internal stores in permeabilized ob/ob mouse pancreatic islets. Lysophospholipids and unsaturated fatty acids increased the free Ca2+ concentration in the incubation medium of permeabilized ob/ob mouse pancreatic islets. The potency of the lysophospholipids decreased in the following order: lysophosphatidylcholine = lysophosphatidylglycerol much greater than lysophosphatidylinositol greater than lysophosphatidylserine much greater than lysophosphatidylethanolamine. Arachidonic acid and palmitoleic acid had a potency comparable to lysophosphatidylinositol, while palmitic acid was ineffective. The Ca(2+)-mobilizing effect of inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) in permeabilized islet cells was additive to the lysophospholipid effect, indicating different sites of action. Both Ca(2+)-mobilizing effects were counteracted by the polyamine spermine, while the presence of Mg2+ shifted the Ca2+ concentrations to higher levels. Since not only an activation of a phospholipase C but also an activation of a phospholipase A2 with subsequent generation of lysophospholipids and free fatty acids is reported to occur in glucose-induced insulin secretion, the interaction of the phospholipase C reaction product IP3 with a lysophospholipid or an unsaturated fatty acid may affect the extent and duration of the rise in the free cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration responsible for initiation of insulin secretion. 相似文献

The inhibitory effect of glucose upon 45Ca efflux from prelabeled pancreatic islets was simulated in a mathematical model for Ca2+-cyclic AMP interaction in the process of glucose-induced insulin release. At variance with a previous interpretation, it was postulated that glucose inhibits 45Ca efflux by facilitating the uptake of the cation by the vacuolar system. The latter facilitation did not hinder glucose from provoking a rapid accumulation of cytosolic Ca2+ and, hence, insulin release. The postulated facilitation was also suitable in simulating the effect of glucose upon 45Ca efflux, uptake, and intracellular distribution in the pancreatic islets. 相似文献

The mechanisms whereby activation of the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase A or the Ca2+-phospholipid-dependent protein kinase C amplifies insulin release were studied with mouse islets. Forskolin and the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) were used to stimulate adenylate cyclase and protein kinase C respectively. The sulphonylurea tolbutamide was used to initiate insulin release in the presence of 3 mM-glucose. Tolbutamide alone inhibited 86Rb+ efflux, depolarized beta-cell membrane, triggered electrical activity, accelerated 45Ca2+ influx and efflux and stimulated insulin release. Forskolin alone only slightly inhibited 86Rb+ efflux, but markedly increased the effects of tolbutamide on electrical activity, 45Ca2+ influx and efflux, and insulin release. In the absence of Ca2+, only the inhibition of 86Rb+ efflux persisted. TPA (100 nM) alone slightly accelerated 45Ca2+ efflux and insulin release without affecting 45Ca2+ influx or beta-cell membrane potential. It increased the effects of tolbutamide on 45Ca2+ efflux and insulin release without changing 86Rb+ efflux, 45Ca2+ influx or electrical activity. Omission of extracellular Ca2+ suppressed all effects due to the combination of TPA and tolbutamide, but not those of TPA alone. Though ineffective alone, 10 nM-TPA amplified the releasing action of tolbutamide without affecting its ionic and electrical effects. In conclusion, the two amplification systems of insulin release involve at least partially distinct mechanisms. The cyclic AMP but not the protein kinase C system initiating signal (Ca2+ influx) triggered by the primary secretagogue. 相似文献

delta-Haemolysin, a small surface-active polypeptide purified from the culture media of Staphylococcus aureus, was observed to stimulate the release of insulin from isolated rat islets of Langerhans. This effect was dose-dependent and saturable, with the half-maximal response elicited by a delta-haemolysin concentration of 10 micrograms/ml. Stimulation of insulin release by delta-haemolysin (10 micrograms/ml) was not dependent on the presence of glucose in the incubation medium, but was augmented by increasing concentrations of the sugar. The release of insulin in response to delta-haemolysin could be inhibited by depletion of extracellular Ca2+ or by adrenaline (epinephrine) (10 microM) and was readily reversible when delta-haemolysin was removed from the medium. In addition, the response was potentiated by incubation with the phosphodiesterase inhibitor 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (0.2 mM). These observations suggest that delta-haemolysin induced a true activation of the beta-cell secretory mechanism. Stimulation of islets of Langerhans with delta-haemolysin was found to be associated with a modest increase in intracellular cyclic AMP levels, although the adenylate cyclase activity of islet homogenates was not increased by delta-haemolysin. delta-Haemolysin was observed to induce a dose-dependent net accumulation of 45Ca2+ by islet cells and to stimulate the efflux of 45Ca2+ from preloaded islets. The efflux of 45Ca2+ was modest in size and short-lived, but dramatically increased in medium depleted fo 40Ca2+. Incubation in the presence of verapamil augmented delta-haemolysin-induced 45Ca2+ efflux and insulin secretion. delta-Haemolysin was found to be a potent 45Ca2+-translocating ionophore in an artificial system. This response was dose-dependent and could be augmented by verapamil. In addition, phosphatidylcholine (25 micrograms/ml) was found to inhibit both delta-haemolysin induced 45Ca2+ translocation and insulin release in a precisely parallel manner. These studies suggest that the ability of delta-haemolysin to stimulate insulin release may be due, in part, to the facilitation of Ca2+ entry into the beta-cells of islets of Langerhans, mediated directly by an ionophoretic mechanism. 相似文献

Addition of pyruvate to rat islets perifused in the presence of 5 mM-glucose elicited an immediate pronounced biphasic stimulation of insulin secretion. At lower concentrations of glucose (2.5 mM), only the initial, transient, phase of secretion was observed. Pyruvate inhibited 45Ca2+ efflux from islets at 2.5 mM-glucose and stimulated efflux at 5 mM-glucose. Pyruvate also decreased the rate of efflux of 86Rb+ from perifused islets. A marked stimulation of insulin secretion and 45Ca2+ efflux rate was observed in response to 3-fluoropyruvate and 3-bromopyruvate, compounds which inhibited oxidative metabolism of [14C]glucose and [14C]pyruvate in islets. The stimulatory effects of 3-fluoro- and 3-bromo-pyruvate were associated with enhanced 86Rb+ efflux. Withdrawal of pyruvate or halogenated analogues from the perfusate resulted in a secondary stimulation of insulin release, 45Ca2+ efflux and, to some extent, 86Rb+ efflux rates. Pyruvate, 3-fluoropyruvate and 3-bromopyruvate were all effective in promoting intracellular acidification and a rise in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration, as judged from fluorescence measurements in HIT-T15 cells loaded with 2',7'-biscarboxyethyl-5'(6')-carboxyfluorescein and Quin 2 respectively. It is proposed that oxidative metabolism of pyruvate is not a prerequisite for its stimulatory actions on pancreatic beta-cells. An alternative mechanism of activation by pyruvate and its halogenated derivatives is proposed, based on the possible electrogenic flux of these anions across the cell membrane. 相似文献

D-glucose stimulates insulin release from islets exposed to both diazoxide, to activate ATP-responsive K+ channels, and a high concentration of K+, to cause depolarization of the B-cell plasma membrane. Under these conditions, the insulinotropic action of D-glucose is claimed to occur despite unaltered cytosolic Ca2+ concentration, but no information is so far available on the changes in Ca2+ fluxes possibly caused by the hexose. In the present experiments, we investigated the effect of D-glucose upon 45Ca efflux from islets exposed to both diazoxide and high K+ concentrations. In the presence of diazoxide and at normal extracellular Ca2+ concentration, D-glucose (16.7 mmol/l) inhibited insulin release at 5 mmol/l K+, but stimulated insulin release of 90 mmol/l K+. In both cases, the hexose inhibited 45Ca outflow. In the presence of diazoxide, but absence of Ca2+, D-glucose (8.3 to 25.0 mmol/l) first caused a rapid decrease in insulin output followed by a progressive increase in secretory rate. This phenomenon was observed both at 5 mmol/l or higher concentrations (30, 60 and 90 mmol/l) of extracellular K+. It coincided with a monophasic decrease in 45Ca efflux and either a transient (at 5 mmol/l K+) or sustained (at 90 mmol/l K+) decrease in overall cytosolic Ca2+ concentration. The decrease in 45Ca efflux could be due to inhibition of Na(+)-Ca2+ countertransport with resulting localized Ca2+ accumulation in the cell web of insulin-producing cells. A comparable process may be involved in the secretory response to D-glucose in islets exposed to diazoxide and a high concentration of K+ in the presence of extracellular Ca2+. 相似文献

The neuropeptide bombesin provoked a dose-dependent stimulation of 45Ca2+ efflux from pre-loaded islets of Langerhans. This response occurred rapidly, was not sustained and did not depend on the presence of extracellular calcium, suggesting that it resulted from the mobilization of intracellular calcium stores. Under conditions when large increases in 45Ca2+ efflux were observed, bombesin completely failed to stimulate the rate of insulin secretion. Similar results were also obtained with the muscarinic cholinergic agonist, carbachol. The data suggest that the release of calcium from intracellular pools is not sufficient to induce an increase in insulin secretion in normal islet cells. 相似文献

La3+ was used to study the involvement of Ca2+ in insulin secretion in beta-cell-rich pancreatic islets micro-dissected from non-inbred ob/ob mice. Ultrastructural studies revealed that the localization of La3+ was entirely restricted to the exterior of the cells. Consistent with a membrane action, exposure to La3+ failed to affect glucose oxidation and either the sucrose space or the general ultrastructure of the islets. In contrast, La3+ had marked effects on insulin release and 45Ca fluxes. Exposure to La3+ resulted in pronounced inhibition of insulin release irrespective of the presence or absence of Ca2+, 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine or glucose. Perifusion experiments revealed that the inhibitory action was prompt, sustained and readily reversible. Removal of La3+ was associated with a subsequent prolonged stimulatory phase of insulin release even in medium deficient in Ca2+. This action could not be attributed to an increase in cyclic AMP, but was potentiated by 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine and abolished by L-adrenaline. La3+ displaced 45Ca from superficially located binding sites and inhibited the uptake and efflux of 45Ca. The stimulatory and inhibitory actions of glucose on 45Ca efflux were also abolished in the presence of 2 mM-La3+ Removal of La3+ was associated with the preferential mobilization of 45Ca incorporated in response to glucose. The results indicate that binding of La3+ to superficial sites in the plasma membrane leads to inhibition of insulin release by suppression of transmembrane Ca2+ fluxes. It is suggested that accumulation of Ca2+ in the cytoplasm accounts for the stimulation of insulin release seen after removal of La3+ from inhibitory binding sites in the beta-cell plasma membrane. 相似文献

Glucose (20 mM) and carbachol (1 mM) produced a rapid increase in [3H]inositol trisphosphate (InsP3) formation in isolated rat islets of Langerhans prelabelled with myo-[3H]inositol. The magnitude of the increase in InsP3 formation was similar when either agent was used alone and was additive when they were used together. In islets prelabelled with 45Ca2+ and treated with carbachol (1 mM), the rise in InsP3 correlated with a rapid, transient, release of 45Ca2+ from the cells, consistent with mobilization of 45Ca2+ from an intracellular pool. Under these conditions, however, insulin secretion was not increased. In contrast, islets prelabelled with 45Ca2+ and exposed to 20mM-glucose exhibited a delayed and decreased 45Ca2+ efflux, but released 7-8-fold more insulin than did those exposed to carbachol. Depletion of extracellular Ca2+ failed to modify the increase in InsP3 elicited by either glucose or carbachol, whereas it selectively inhibited the efflux of 45Ca2+ induced by glucose in preloaded islets. Under these conditions, however, glucose was still able to induce a small stimulation of the first phase of insulin secretion. These results demonstrate that polyphosphoinositide metabolism, Ca2+ mobilization and insulin release can all be dissociated in islet cells, and suggest that glucose and carbachol regulate these parameters by different mechanisms. 相似文献

In rat pancreatic islets the effects of cholecystokinin-8 (CCK8) on glucose-mediated insulin release, 45Ca2+ net uptake, 45Ca2+ efflux, 86Rb+ efflux, cAMP- and cGMP levels were studied. In the presence of a substimulatory glucose concentration (3 mM) CCK8 concentrations of up to 1 microM had no effect on insulin release, but CCK8 at 10 nM potentiated the stimulatory effect of glucose (11.1 mM). 10 nM CCK8 enhanced glucose-stimulated 45Ca2+ net uptake but was ineffective at substimulatory glucose levels. CCK8 had no effect on cAMP and cGMP levels in the presence of 11.1 mM glucose, CCK8 increased 86Rb+ (a measure of K+) in the presence of both 3 and 11.1 mM glucose. This effect was abolished when Ca2+ was omitted from the perifusion medium. CCK8 did not alter glucose (11.1 mM)-stimulated 45Ca2+ efflux rate. These data indicate that (1) CCK8 potentiates glucose-stimulated insulin secretion possibly via an effect on Ca2+ uptake, 2) by affecting Ca2+ uptake, CCK8 enhances K+ efflux, and 3) CCK8 does not mediate its effect via cAMP or cGMP. With respect to 86Rb+ efflux the mechanism of CCK8 action appears to be different from that of glucose. When the mechanism of CCK action on islets is compared with that on exocrine pancreas (data from others) there are similarities (importance of Ca2+ uptake and non-importance of cAMP and cGMP). 相似文献

The effects of acute omission of extracellular Na+ on pancreatic B-cell function were studied in mouse islets, using choline and lithium salts as impermeant and permeant substitutes, respectively. In the absence of glucose, choline substitution for Na+ hyperpolarized the B-cell membrane, inhibited 86Rb+ and 45Ca2+ efflux, but did not affect insulin release. In contrast, Li+ substitution for Na+ depolarized the B-cell membrane and caused a Ca2+-independent, transient acceleration of 45Ca2+ efflux and insulin release. Na+ replacement by choline in the presence of 10 mM glucose and 2.5 mM Ca2+ again rapidly hyperpolarized the B-cell membrane. This hyperpolarization was then followed by a phase of depolarization with continuous spike activity, before long slow waves of the membrane potential resumed. Under these conditions, 86Rb+ efflux first decreased before accelerating, concomitantly with marked and parallel increases in 45Ca2+ efflux and insulin release. In the absence of Ca2+, 45Ca2+ and 86Rb+ efflux were inhibited and insulin release was unaffected by choline substitution for Na+. Na+ replacement by Li+ in the presence of 10 mM glucose rapidly depolarized the B-cell membrane, caused an intense continuous spike activity, and accelerated 45Ca2+ efflux, 86Rb+ efflux and insulin release. In the absence of extracellular Ca2+, Li+ still caused a rapid but transient increase in 45Ca2+ and 86Rb+ efflux and in insulin release. Although not indispensable for insulin release, Na+ plays an important regulatory role in stimulus-secretion coupling by modulating, among others, membrane potential and ionic fluxes in B-cells. 相似文献

The effect of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) on cellular Ca2+ was examined in BALB/c-3T3 cells. PDGF induced: A decrease in cell 45Ca2+ content. An apparent increased rate of efflux of preloaded 45Ca2+. A decrease in residual intracellular 45Ca2+ remaining after rapid efflux. When added after the rapid phase of efflux of 45Ca2+ had occurred, an immediate decrease in post-efflux residual intracellular 45Ca2+. All of the observed changes in 45Ca2+ induced by PDGF are consistent with a rapid release of Ca2+ from an intracellular Ca2+ pool that has the slowest efflux and is relatively inaccessible to extracellular EDTA. When incubated with chlortetracycline (CTC), a fluorescent Ca2+ probe, 3T3 cell mitochondria became intensely fluorescent. Addition of PDGF resulted in a rapid decrease in CTC fluorescence intensity in both adherent and suspended 3T3 cells. The effects of PDGF on 3T3 cell Ca2+ stores and CTC fluorescence intensity were identical with the effects of the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 and of the proton ionophore carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazone. Serum, which contains PDGF, also altered intracellular Ca2+ stores, but platelet-poor plasma, which does not contain PDGF, had no effect. EGF, insulin, and tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate (TPA), other factors which stimulate 3T3 cell growth, did not alter 3T3 cell Ca2+ stores. Release of Ca2+ from intracellular sequestration sites may be a mechanism by which PDGF stimulates cell growth. 相似文献

Cs+ decreases K+ permeability in nerve and muscle cells. Its effects on the pancreatic B-cell function were studied with mouse islets. In the presence of 3 mM glucose, Cs+ substitution for K+ steadily inhibited 86Rb+ efflux and hyperpolarized the B-cell membrane. Addition of Cs+ to a K+-medium also inhibited 86Rb+ efflux, but depolarized the B-cell membrane. None of these changes altered insulin release. Substitution of Cs+ for K+ in a medium containing 10 mM glucose caused a Ca2+-dependent stimulation of insulin release and 45Ca2+ efflux, produced an initial fall and a secondary rise in 86Rb+ efflux and augmented the electrical activity in B-cells. Reintroduction of K+ to the medium was followed by a marked and transient inhibition of insulin release, that was blocked by ouabain and accompanied by an inhibition of 45Ca2+ and 86Rb+ efflux and by a hyperpolarization of the B-cell membrane. Addition of Cs+ to a K+ medium containing 10 mM glucose stimulated insulin release, 45Ca2+ efflux and 86Rb+ efflux. It also increased the electrical activity in B-cells. In the absence of Ca2+, however, Cs+ addition decreased the rate of 86Rb+ efflux. The effects of Cs+ on the B-cell function may be explained by its ability to decrease K+ permeability of the plasma membrane, by its inability to activate the sodium pump, and by a third unidentified effect likely brought about by the accumulation of intracellular Cs+. 相似文献

In pancreatic islets removed from 48 h-fasted rats, as distinct from fed animals, the release of insulin evoked by D-glucose is more severely impaired than that evoked by 2-ketoisocaproate. This decreased secretory response to D-glucose contrasts with an unimpaired cationic response to the sugar in terms of the glucose-induced decrease in both 86Rb and 45Ca outflow from pre-labelled islets. Likewise, fasting only causes a modest decrease of the secondary rise in 45Ca outflow evoked by D-glucose in islets perifused at normal Ca2+ concentration. The latter decrease appears more marked, however, if the cationic response to glucose is expressed relative to that evoked by 2-ketoisocaproate in islets removed from rats in the same nutritional state. It is concluded that, in the process of nutrient-stimulated insulin release, neither the decrease in K+ conductance (inhibition of 86Rb outflow) nor the sequestration of Ca2+ by intracellular organelles and/or direct inhibition of Ca2+ outward transport (decrease in 45Ca outflow) represent the sole determinant(s) of the subsequent gating of Ca2+ channels (secondary rise in 45Ca efflux). 相似文献

The participation of glutathione reductase in the process of nutrient-stimulated insulin release was investigated in rat pancreatic islets exposed to 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea (BCNU). BCNU caused a time-and dose-related, irreversible inhibition of glutathione reductase activity. This coincided with a fall in both GSH/GSSG ratio and the thiol content of the islets. Pretreatment of the islets with BCNU inhibited the oxidation of glucose and its stimulant action upon both 45Ca net uptake and insulin release. Although BCNU (up to 0.5 mM) failed to affect the oxidation of L-leucine and L-glutamine, it also caused a dose-related inhibition of insulin release evoked by the combination of these two amino acids. The latter inhibition was apparently not fully accounted for by the modest to negligible effects of BCNU upon 45Ca uptake, 45Ca efflux, 86Rb efflux and cyclic AMP production. Since BCNU failed to inhibit insulin release evoked by the association of Ba2+ and theophylline, these results support the view that glutathione reductase participates in the coupling of metabolic to secretory events in the process of nutrient-stimulated insulin release. However, the precise modality of such a participation, for example the control of intracellular Ca2+ distribution, remains to be elucidated. 相似文献

Electrothermal atomic absorption spectroscopy was employed for measuring barium in beta-cell-rich pancreatic islets microdissected from ob/ob-mice. Both the uptake and efflux of barium displayed two distinct phases. There was a 4-fold accumulation of barium into intracellular stores when its extracellular concentration was 0.26 mM. Unlike divalent cations with more extensive intracellular accumulation, the washout of Ba2+ was not inhibited by D-glucose. Ba2+ served as a substitute for Ca2+ both in maintaining the glucose metabolism after removal of extracellular Ca2+ and making it possible for glucose to stimulate insulin release. Furthermore, Ba2+ elicited insulin release in the absence of glucose and other secretagogues. The latter effect was reversible and was markedly potentiated under conditions known to increase the beta-cell content of cyclic AMP. It is likely that the observed actions of Ba2+ are mediated by Ca2+, since Ca2+ -dependent regulatory proteins, such as calmodulin, apparently cannot bind Ba2+ specifically. 相似文献

The effect of tetracaine on 45Ca efflux, cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration [Ca2+]i, and insulin secretion in isolated pancreatic islets and beta-cells was studied. In the absence of external Ca2+, tetracaine (0.1-2.0 mM) increased the 45Ca efflux from isolated islets in a dose-dependentOFF efflux caused by 50 mM K+ or by the association of carbachol (0.2 mM) and 50 mM K+. Tetracaine permanently increased the [Ca2+]i in isolated beta-cells in Ca2+-free medium enriched with 2.8 mM glucose and 25 microM D-600 (methoxiverapamil). This effect was also observed in the presence of 10 mM caffeine or 1 microM thapsigargin. In the presence of 16.7 mM glucose, tetracaine transiently increased the insulin secretion from islets perfused in the absence and presence of external Ca2+. These data indicate that tetracaine mobilises Ca2+ from a thapsigargin-insensitive store and stimulates insulin secretion in the absence of extracellular Ca2+. The increase in 45Ca efflux caused by high concentrations of K+ and by carbachol indicates that tetracaine did not interfere with a cation or inositol triphosphate sensitive Ca2+ pool in beta-cells. 相似文献

Arachidonic acid inhibits thyrotropin-releasing hormone-induced elevation of cytoplasmic free calcium in GH3 pituitary cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We have shown that arachidonic acid stimulates 45Ca2+ efflux from prelabeled rat pituitary mammotropic (GH3) cells resuspended in "Ca2+-free" medium (Kolesnick, R. N., Mussachio, I., Thaw, C., and Gershengorn, M. C. (1984) Am. J. Physiol. 246, E458-E462). In this study, we further characterize the effects of arachidonic acid on Ca2+ homeostasis in GH3 cells and demonstrate its antagonism of changes induced by thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH). At below 5 microM, arachidonic acid stimulated intracellular for extracellular Ca2+ exchange without affecting cell Ca2+ content. Above 5 microM, arachidonic acid decreased membrane-bound Ca2+, as monitored by chlortetracycline, and decreased total cell 45Ca2+ content by depleting nonmitochondrial and mitochondrial pools. However, arachidonic acid did not elevate cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). Arachidonic acid inhibited TRH-induced 45Ca2+ efflux, loss of membrane-bound Ca2+, mobilization of nonmitochondrial Ca2+, and elevation of [Ca2+]i. Arachidonic acid also lowered elevated [Ca2+]i caused by release of mitochondrial Ca2+ with an uncoupler or by influx of extracellular Ca2+ stimulated with K+ depolarization. Hence, arachidonic acid stimulates Ca2+ extrusion from and depletes Ca2+ stores within GH3 cells. We suggest that arachidonic acid may be an important regulator of cellular Ca2+ homeostasis which may inhibit TRH-induced elevation of [Ca2+]i. 相似文献

Astrocyte cultures prelabelled with either [3H]inositol or 45Ca2+ were exposed to ATP and its hydrolysis products. ATP and ADP, but not AMP and adenosine, produced increases in the accumulation of intracellular 3H-labelled inositol phosphates (IP), efflux of 45Ca2+, and release of thromboxane A2 (TXA2). Whereas ATP-stimulated 3H-IP accumulation was unaffected, its ability to promote TXA2 release was markedly reduced by mepacrine, an inhibitor of phospholipase A2 (PLA2). ATP-evoked 3H-IP production was also spared following treatment with the cyclooxygenase inhibitor, indomethacin. We conclude that ATP-induced phosphoinositide (PPI) breakdown and 45 Ca2+ mobilisation occurred in parallel with, if not preceded, the release of TXA2. Following depletion of intracellular Ca2+ with a brief preexposure to ATP in the absence of extracellular Ca2+, the release of TXA2 in response to a subsequent ATP challenge was greatly reduced when compared with control. These results suggest that mobilisation of cytosolic Ca2+ may be the stimulus for PLA2 activation and, thus, TXA2 release. Stimulation of alpha 1-adrenoceptors also caused PPI breakdown and 45 Ca2+ efflux but not TXA2 release. The effects of ATP and noradrenaline (NA) on 3H-IP accumulation were additive, but their combined ability to increase 45Ca2+ efflux was not. Interestingly, in the presence of NA, ATP-stimulated TXA2 release was reduced. Our data provide evidence that functional P2-purinergic receptors are present on astrocytes and that ATP is the first physiologically relevant stimulus found to initiate prostanoid release from these cells. 相似文献
