GABAA receptor-mediated increase of cytosolic Ca2+ in isolated bovine adrenal chromaffin cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We have studied the effects of GABA on cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) as a means of investigating the role of GABA in adrenal catecholamine (CA) secretion. It was demonstrated that GABA caused an elevation of [Ca2+]i via the GABAA receptor in a concentration-dependent manner, which was well correlated with an increase of 45Ca uptake, an increase of CA release and a depolarization of chromaffin cells assessed with bis-oxonol fluorescence. Since the GABA-induced rise of [Ca2+]i was absolutely dependent on the presence of extracellular Ca2+ and partly sensitive to nifedipine, at least one entry route for Ca2+ facilitated by GABA via a voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channel was suggested. When extracellular Cl- was lowered, GABA-induced CA release, depolarization, and rise of [Ca2+]i were all markedly enhanced. It is possible that GABA plays a modulatory role in the regulation of adrenal CA secretion as a facilitatory modulator. 相似文献

Evoked transient intracellular free Ca2+ changes and secretion in isolated bovine adrenal medullary cells 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16

When isolated bovine adrenal medullary cells are incubated with the lipid-soluble Quin 2 acetoxymethyl ester, the ester permeates the plasma membrane and enters the cytosol, where it is hydrolysed by endogenous enzymes to yield an impermeant fluorescent indicator (Quin 2) which is sensitive to Ca2+ in the 0.1 microM range. This technique permits the average intracellular free Ca2+ level ([Ca2+]i) to be determined in a suspension of adrenal medullary cells. Unstimulated cells have a [Ca2+]i of 97 +/- 4 nM (n = 69). This level seems independent of extracellular calcium in the range 0.5-2 mM. When the extracellular calcium concentration is lowered to ca. 10(-7) M, however, [Ca2+]i decreases. A transient increase in [Ca2+]i occurs when cells are challenged with either acetylcholine or a high potassium medium. The time course of the [Ca2+]i transient rises to a maximum within seconds, and decreases to basal levels over minutes. The maximum level of [Ca2+]i associated with secretion is very variable. Hexamethonium, methyoxyverapamil, and the absence of extracellular calcium block not only the secretory response but also the [Ca2+]i transient. The action of acetylcholine leading to the Ca2+]i transient is blocked when cells are suspended in a depolarizing medium. Extracellular magnesium inhibits both the [Ca2+]i transient and the secretory response evoked by acetylcholine. Secretion is, however, more sensitive to magnesium inhibition than is calcium entry. The magnitudes of the [Ca2+]i transient and the secretory response decrease as the concentration of intracellular Quin 2 increases. Measurements of the amount of indicator titrated with calcium, as a result of an acetylcholine or potassium challenge, suggest that the increase in the apparent calcium content of the cytosol might arise from two contributing sources of calcium entry. 相似文献

Enhancement of Ca2+-induced catecholamine release by the phorbol ester TPA in digitonin-permeabilized cultured bovine adrenal chromaffin cells 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The phorbol ester, 4 beta-phorbol 12-myristate acetate (TPA), increased the extent of catecholamine release induced by Ca2+, without affecting the basal release response in digitonin-permeabilized chromaffin cells. This finding is consistent with the hypothesis that protein kinase C has a role to play in stimulus-secretion coupling in the bovine adrenal medullary chromaffin cell. 相似文献

Synergistic actions of Ca2+ and the phorbol ester TPA on K+-induced catecholamine release from bovine adrenal chromaffin cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
K W Brocklehurst H B Pollard 《Biochemical and biophysical research communications》1986,140(3):990-998
Enhancement of Ca2+-dependent high K+-evoked catecholamine secretion was observed after pretreatment of cultured bovine adrenal chromaffin cells with the phorbol ester 4B-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (TPA) in the absence of added extracellular Ca2+. This effect of TPA was not reproduced when the secretagogues acetylcholine, nicotine, or veratrine were substituted for high K+. The implications of these results are discussed in relation to the role of protein kinase C in stimulus-secretion coupling in the chromaffin cell. 相似文献

Ca2+ and phorbol ester activation of protein kinase C at intracellular Ca2+ concentrations and the effect of TMB-8 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
A calcium-activated, phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C) was purified to near homogeneity from human polymorphonuclear leukocytes and shown to be identical to bovine protein kinase C. The Ca2+ activation of the enzyme was studied and the Ca2+ concentrations required to activate the enzyme were compared to free cytosolic Ca2+ concentrations in resting and activated polymorphonuclear leukocytes. The free calcium concentrations in the cytosol and in the enzyme assay mixture were determined using the calcium indicator quin 2. The enzyme activity was almost totally dependent upon phosphatidylserine and could be strongly activated by Ca2+ concentrations in the micromolar range, but was not activated by phosphatidylserine at Ca2+ concentrations corresponding to the intracellular free Ca2+ concentration under resting conditions. However, at similar Ca2+ concentrations (less than 2.5 X 10(-7) M) the enzyme was highly activated by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) or diolein in the presence of phosphatidylserine. It was demonstrated that PMA stimulation of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes did not induce any increase in the level of the intracellular free calcium concentration. It was concluded that PMA activation of protein kinase C occurred independently of a rise in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration. K0.5 (half-maximal activation) for the PMA activation of purified protein kinase C was shown to be equivalent to the K0.5 for PMA stimulation of superoxide (O-2) production in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes, suggesting that protein kinase C is involved in activation of the NADPH oxidase. The presumed intracellular Ca2+ antagonist TMB-8 inhibited the PMA-induced superoxide production, but neither by an intracellular Ca2+ antagonism nor by a direct inhibition of protein kinase C activity. 相似文献

To clarify when the cholinergic receptor-mediated secretion mechanism of developing adrenal chromaffin cells is expressed and becomes functional, morphological changes and intracellular calcium dynamics were studied by immunohistochemistry, electron microscopy, and Fura-2 digital image analysis. From embryonic day 14 to 16, adrenal medullary cells were immunoreactive to noradrenaline-synthesizing enzyme (dopamine β-hydroxylase) but not to adrenaline-synthesizing enzyme (phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase). These cells contained either no granules or just a few granules of high electron density. Exocytotic figures were rarely observed in cells of the control or in cells after carbamylcholine stimulation. Nerve fibers in the adrenal medulla contained either no clear vesicles or very few. Neither methacholine nor nicotine caused a change of intracellular Ca2+ in most chromaffin cells. From embryonic day 18 to 20, chromaffin cells were immunoreactive to both dopamine β-hydroxylase and phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase and they contained relatively numerous secretory granules. Exocytotic figures were often seen in cells after carbamylcholine stimulation. The intra-adrenal nerve fibers contained numerous clear vesicles and a few dense-cored vesicles. Methacholine caused no rise of intracellular Ca2+, but nicotine induced a low to relatively high rise in many cells. From postnatal day 2 or 3 to postnatal week 1, numerous cells were immunoreactive to both dopamine β-hydroxylase and phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase, whereas some cells were reactive to dopamine β-hydroxylase alone. Chromaffin cells were divisible into noradrenaline cells and adrenaline cells based on the ultrastructural features of their granules. Methacholine induced a moderate rise of intracellular Ca2+ and nicotine caused a high rise in many chromaffin cells, whereas, in some chromaffin cells, methacholine induced no rise of intracellular Ca2+ and nicotine induced a high rise. These results suggest that morphological changes of the developing cells and the intra-adrenal nerve fibers are related to the expression of a cholinergic receptor-mediated secretion mechanism and that this mechanism via a nicotinic receptor-mediated Ca2+ signaling pathway precedes the muscarinic receptor-mediated one during development. 相似文献

Phorbol ester stimulates catecholamine synthesis in isolated bovine adrenal medullary cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
In isolated bovine adrenal medullary cells, the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol 13-acetate (TPA), an activator of protein kinase C, stimulated [14C]catecholamine synthesis from [14C]tyrosine, but not from [14C]DOPA. This stimulatory effect of TPA on [14C]catecholamine synthesis was not dependent upon extracellular Ca2+, and TPA did not affect the uptake of 45Ca2+ or the release of catecholamine by the cells. TPA also did not affect the intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP) level. 4 alpha-Phorbol 12, 13-didecanoate, which is not an activator of protein kinase C, did not stimulate the synthesis of [14C]catecholamine from [14C]tyrosine. The stimulatory effect of TPA on [14C]catecholamine synthesis was additive with that of carbamylcholine, but not with that of dibutyryl cAMP (DB-cAMP). From these results, it was suggested that protein kinase C is involved in the regulation of tyrosine hydroxylase activity and that this regulatory mechanism might be similar to that involving cAMP. 相似文献

Effects of trypsin on secretion stimulated by micromolar Ca2+ and phorbol ester in digitonin-permeabilized adrenal chromaffin cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
1. Catecholamine secretion from digitonin-treated chromaffin cells is stimulated directly by micromolar Ca2+ in the medium. The permeabilized cells are leaky to proteins. 2. In this study trypsin (30-50 micrograms/ml) added to cells after digitonin treatment completely inhibited subsequent Ca2+-dependent catecholamine secretion. The same concentrations of trypsin did not inhibit secretion from permeabilized cells if trypsin was present only prior to cell permeabilization. 3. The data indicate that trypsin entered digitonin-treated chromaffin cells which were capable of undergoing secretion and that an intracellular, trypsin-sensitive protein is involved in secretion. Chymotrypsin was less potent but had effects similar to those of trypsin. 4. The enhancement of Ca2+-dependent secretion from permeabilized chromaffin cells induced by the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) was inhibited by trypsin added simultaneously with Ca2+ to permeabilized cells at concentrations (3-10 micrograms/ml) which had little or no effect on Ca2+-dependent secretion from cells untreated with TPA. Ca2+-dependent secretion in TPA-treated cells was reduced by trypsin only to the level that would have occurred in cells not treated with TPA. Trypsin reduced the large TPA-induced increment of membrane-bound protein kinase C. 相似文献

Inositol trisphosphate (IP3), a product of the phosphoinositide cycle, mobilizes intracellular Ca2+ in many cell types. New evidence suggests that inositol tetrakisphosphate (IP4), an IP3 derivative, may act as another second messenger to further alter calcium homeostasis. However, the function and mechanism of action of IP4 are presently unresolved. We now report evidence of muscarinic receptor-mediated accumulation of IP4 in bovine adrenal chromaffin cells, a classic neurosecretory system in which calcium movements have been well studied. Muscarine (0.4 mM) stimulated an increase in [3H]IP4 and [3H]IP3 accumulation in chromaffin cells and this effect was completely blocked by atropine (0.5 mM). [3H]IP4 accumulation was detectable within 15 sec, increased to a maximum by 30 sec and thereafter declined. 2,3-diphosphoglycerate, an inhibitor of IP3 and IP4 hydrolysis, enhanced accumulation of these inositol polyphosphates. The results provide the first evidence of a rapid inositol tetrakisphosphate response in adrenal chromaffin cells, which should facilitate the future resolution of the relationship between IP4 and calcium homeostasis. 相似文献

The effect of the phorbol ester TPA on catecholamine secretion was studied in cultured bovine adrenal chromaffin cells. The pretreatment of chromaffin cells with TPA caused the enhancement of catecholamine secretion induced by the calcium ionophore, A23187. By contrast, neither carbachol- nor high K+-induced secretion was changed by TPA pretreatment. These results support the concept that protein kinase C plays an important role as a factor transducing the Ca2+ signal to the exocytotic process of catecholamine secretion in bovine adrenal chromaffin cells. 相似文献

Exposure of ‘leaky’ bovine adrenal medullary cells to the phorbol ester TPA causes a shift in the calcium-activation curve to lower calcium concentrations without altering the levels of secretion at the extremes of the activation curve. These results are consistent with a role for protein kinase C in exocytosis. 相似文献

Effect of extracellular Ca2+ on plasma membrane Ca2+ inflow and cytoplasmic free Ca2+ in isolated hepatocytes 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
An initial rapid phase and a subsequent slow phase of 45Ca2+ uptake were observed following the addition of 45Ca2+ to Ca2+-deprived hepatocytes. The magnitude of the rapid phase increased 15-fold over the range 0.1-11 mM extracellular Ca2+ (Ca2+o) and was a linear function of [Ca2+]o. The increases in the rate of 45Ca2+ uptake were accompanied by only small increases in the intracellular free Ca2+ concentration. In cells made permeable to Ca2+ by treatment with saponin, the rate of 45Ca2+ uptake (measured at free Ca2+ concentrations equal to those in the cytoplasm of intact cells) increased as the concentration of saponin increased from 1.4 to 2.5 micrograms per mg wet weight cells. Rates of 45Ca2+ uptake by cells permeabilized with an optimal concentration of saponin were comparable with those of intact cells incubated at physiological [Ca2+o], but were substantially lower than those for intact cells incubated at high [Ca2+o]. It is concluded that Ca2+ which enters the hepatocyte across the plasma membrane is rapidly removed by binding and transport to intracellular sites and by the plasma membrane (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase and the plasma membrane Ca2+ inflow transporter is not readily saturated with Ca2+o. 相似文献

PC12 cells preloaded with [3H]norepinephrine release this neurotransmitter at a slow rate (basal release). This rate is increased by the addition of phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), but not by a biologically inactive phorbol ester. This effect most likely is mediated by protein kinase C, since desensitization of this kinase abolished the stimulation of the neurotransmitter release by PMA. Unexpectedly, clinical concentrations of the volatile anesthetics halothane, enflurane, isoflurane and methoxyflurane stimulated the PMA evoked neurotransmitter release in good correlation with their anesthetic potency. Since the volatile anesthetics increased the cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration of the PC12 cells in a dose dependent manner it seems very likely that the effect of the anesthetics on the PMA-evoked neurotransmitter release is mediated by this rise in Ca2+ concentration. 相似文献

Effects of phorbol ester on tyrosine hydroxylase phosphorylation and activation in cultured bovine adrenal chromaffin cells 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
The phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) caused phosphorylation of phosphoproteins of 56-kDa which co-migrated with and had identical pI values to subunits of tyrosine hydroxylase. The phosphorylation was closely correlated with an increase of [3H]3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) production which is a reflection of increased tyrosine hydroxylase activity. Only those phorbol esters which activate protein kinase C induced phosphorylation of the 56-kDa proteins and increased [3H]DOPA production. Neither TPA-induced phosphorylation of the 56-kDa proteins nor TPA-induced enhancement of [3H] DOPA production required extracellular Ca2+. TPA caused increases in phosphorylation of the 56-kDa proteins and increases in [3H]DOPA production over similar concentration ranges (10-1000 nM). TPA did not increase cellular cAMP. The data suggest that phorbol ester-induced phosphorylation of intracellular tyrosine hydroxylase, possibly by protein kinase C, results in increased tyrosine hydroxylase activity. 相似文献

Single bovine adrenal medullary cells have been obtained by retrograde perfusion of adrenal medullae with a solution of 0.05% collagenase in Ca++-free Krebs Henseleit buffer. Chromaffin cells were obtained in high yield (5 X 10(6) cells/g medulla), and more than 95% of these were viable as shown by exclusion of trypan blue. The isolated cells were capable of respiring at a linear rate for a minimum of 120 min. Ultrastructural examination revealed that the cells were morphologically intact, and two distinct types of adrenal medullary cells were identified, on the basis of the morphology of their electron-dense vesicles, as (a) adrenaline-containing and (b) noradrenaline-containing cells. Biochemical analysis showed that the cells contained catecholamines and dopamine-beta-hydroxylase (DBH). The cells released catecholamines and DBH in response to acetylcholine (ACh), and this release was accompanied by changes in the vesicular and surface membranes observed at the ultrastructural level. The time-course of ACh-stimulated catecholamine and DBH release, and the dependence of this release on the concentration of ACh and extracellular Ca++ have been investigated. The isolated cells were pharmacologically sensitive to the action of the cholinergic blocking agents, atropine and hexamethonium. 相似文献

Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-triggered Ca2+ release from bovine adrenal medullary secretory vesicles 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The effect of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) and calcium ionophore A23187 on Ca2+ release from bovine adrenal medullary secretory vesicles and microsomes was examined. Ins(1,4,5)P3 released 3.5 nmol of Ca2+/mg protein from secretory vesicles and 1.5 nmol of Ca2+/mg protein from microsomes as measured by a Ca2(+)-selective electrode. However, A23187 promoted Ca2+ uptake into vesicles while releasing Ca2+ from microsomes. Ins(1,4,5)P3-induced Ca2+ release from secretory vesicles was rapid, but the released Ca2+ was absorbed within 3 min during which the Ins(1,4,5)P3-releasable pools were refilled. The in situ calcium content of secretory vesicle measured by atomic absorption spectrometry was 112 +/- 6.3 nmol/mg protein indicating the potential importance of secretory vesicles as an intracellular Ca2+ store. The high Ca2(+)-buffering capacity of secretory vesicles is presumed to be due to the high Ca2(+)-binding capacity of chromogranin A, the major intravesicular protein, which has calsequestrin-like properties. 相似文献

In bovine adrenal chromaffin cells, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) stimulates the formation of inositol phosphates and Ca2+ mobilization through its specific receptor [Yokohama, Tanaka, Ito, Negishi, Hayashi & Hayaishi (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 1119-1122]. Here we show that PGE2-induced phosphoinositide metabolism was blocked by pretreatment with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA). Using intact cells, we also examined the inhibitory effect of TPA on the individual steps of the activation process of phosphoinositide metabolism. The inhibition was observed within 1 min and complete by 10 min after addition of 1 microM-TPA, and half-maximal inhibition by TPA occurred at 20 nM. TPA prevented Ca2+ mobilization induced by PGE2, but not by the Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin. The inactive phorbol ester 4 alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate did not inhibit the formation of inositol phosphates and Ca2+ mobilization by PGE2. TPA treatment affected neither the high-affinity binding of [3H]PGE2 to intact cells and membrane fractions nor the ability of guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate to decrease the binding in membrane fractions. TPA also abolished phosphoinositide metabolism induced by muscarinic-receptor activation. NaF plus AlCl3 and ionomycin caused the accumulation of inositol phosphates, probably by directly activating a GTP-binding protein(s) and phospholipase C respectively; neither accumulation was inhibited by TPA treatment. These results suggest that protein kinase C serves as a feedback regulator for PGE2-induced phosphoinositide metabolism. The site of action of TPA appears to be distal to the coupling of the receptor to GTP-binding protein, but on a component(s) specific to the agonist-induced phosphoinositide metabolism. 相似文献

TMB-8 is widely regarded as an 'intracellular calcium antagonist', supposedly inhibiting the mobilisation of intracellular calcium. Rarely, however, have the effects of this compound on Ca2+ movements been measured. We report here that TMB-8 is not very effective in inhibiting thrombin-induced Ca2+ influx or internal release in human platelets judged from the fluorescent signal of cytoplasmic quin2. Only approx. 40% inhibition was seen at 500 microns TMB-8. Somewhat lower concentrations blocked the secretory response to thrombin and also the secretion evoked at basal [Ca2+]i by phorbol ester and collagen. It is suggested that one target for TMB-8 may be the C-kinase pathway. 相似文献

Differential effects of phorbol ester on phenylephrine and vasopressin-induced Ca2+ mobilization in isolated hepatocytes 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16
Receptor-mediated breakdown of PtdIns(4,5)P2 produces two cellular signals, Ins(1,4,5)P3, which can release intracellular Ca2+, and diacylglycerol, which activates a Ca2+- and phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C). This study assesses the significance of protein kinase C in relation to phenylephrine- and vasopressin-induced Ca2+ mobilization in hepatocytes. Phorbol ester (4 beta-phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate), which can directly activate protein kinase C, had no effect either on Ca2+ efflux from the cell (measured with arsenazo III) or on Ca2+ influx (measured with Quin-2), processes which are inhibited and stimulated, respectively, by both phenylephrine and vasopressin. No evidence of synergism between phorbol ester pretreatment of hepatocytes and the Ca2+ ionophore (ionomycin)-mediated effects on the increase of cytosolic free Ca2+ and phosphorylase activation could be obtained. These findings suggest that protein kinase C is not obligatorily involved in the regulation of hepatocyte Ca2+ fluxes. Pretreatment of hepatocytes with phorbol ester (PMA) or 1-oleoyl-2-acetylglycerol totally inhibited the effects of phenylephrine in elevating the cytosolic free Ca2+; half-maximal inhibitory effects occurred at PMA and 1-oleoyl-2-acetylglycerol concentrations of 1 ng/ml and 12 micrograms/ml, respectively. In contrast, pretreatment with PMA had a much smaller effect on Ca2+ mobilization induced by vasopressin. These observations suggest that protein kinase C may be involved in "down-regulation" of the alpha 1-receptor in hepatocytes and may thus exert a negative influence on the Ca2+-signalling pathway. 相似文献
