Summary
To investigate the mechanism of inositol trisphosphate (IP3)-induced Ca2+ release from the internal Ca2+ store, we examined the effects of heparin, phorbol ester and cyclic nucleotides on Ca2+ release induced by carbachol or inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (1,4,5-IP3). For monitoring changes of Ca2+ we used the fluorescent indicator, fura-2, in electropermeabilized rat pancreatic acini. An amount of 100 μg/ml heparin inhibited the Ca2+ release induced by 1 μM 1,4,5-IP3 in permeabilized acini. Pretreatment with 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) for 10 min reduced the release of Ca2+ induced by 10 μM carbachol and 1 μM 1,4,5-IP3 in permeabilized acini. Staurosporine, a protein kinase C inhibitor, blocked the inhibitory effect of TPA. Cytosolic calcium concentration was restored by staurosporine in TPA-treated acini. Although cyclic AMP exaggerated the amylase release induced by carbachol, cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP had no effect on the carbachol-induced release of Ca2+ in permeabilized acini. These findings suggest that protein kinase C may act at the level of the IP3 receptors or the IP3-operated Ca2+ channels of the internal Ca2+ store and indicate that cyclic nucleotides do not affect the IP3-induced release of Ca2+ in rat pancreatic acini.
