To investigate the role of calmodulin in stimulus-secretion coupling in pancreatic acinar cells, we studied the effects of W-7, a calmodulin inhibitor, and KN-62, a specific inhibitor of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (Ca2+/CaM kinase II), on amylase secretion from rat pancreatic acini. Calmodulin inhibitor (W-7, 100 microM) and Ca2+/CaM kinase II inhibitor (KN-62, 10 microM) reduced amylase secretion stimulated by cholecystokinin (CCK) or carbachol. W-7 and KN-62 also inhibited amylase secretion stimulated by both calcium ionophore (A23187) and phorbol ester (12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, TPA). To clarify the role of calmodulin in the interaction of intracellular mediators, pancreatic acini were permeabilized with streptolysin O. Following permeabilization, amylase secretion was stimulated by submicromolar free Ca2+, and this Ca(2+)-dependent amylase secretion was enhanced by guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP gamma S), TPA or cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP). W-7 and KN-62 had no effects on amylase secretion stimulated by Ca2+ alone, but inhibited the enhancement in Ca(2+)-dependent amylase secretion by GTP gamma S, TPA or cAMP. These data suggest that calmodulin plays an important role in Ca(2+)-dependent amylase secretion from pancreatic acinar cells and in the interaction between Ca2+ and other intracellular messengers.

D007546 Isoquinolines A group of compounds with the heterocyclic ring structure of benzo(c)pyridine. The ring structure is characteristic of the group of opium alkaloids such as papaverine. (From Stedman, 25th ed)
D008297 Male Males
D010179 Pancreas A nodular organ in the ABDOMEN that contains a mixture of ENDOCRINE GLANDS and EXOCRINE GLANDS. The small endocrine portion consists of the ISLETS OF LANGERHANS secreting a number of hormones into the blood stream. The large exocrine portion (EXOCRINE PANCREAS) is a compound acinar gland that secretes several digestive enzymes into the pancreatic ductal system that empties into the DUODENUM.
D010879 Piperazines Compounds that are derived from PIPERAZINE.
D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D002147 Calmodulin A heat-stable, low-molecular-weight activator protein found mainly in the brain and heart. The binding of calcium ions to this protein allows this protein to bind to cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases and to adenyl cyclase with subsequent activation. Thereby this protein modulates cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP levels.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D015290 Second Messenger Systems Systems in which an intracellular signal is generated in response to an intercellular primary messenger such as a hormone or neurotransmitter. They are intermediate signals in cellular processes such as metabolism, secretion, contraction, phototransduction, and cell growth. Examples of second messenger systems are the adenyl cyclase-cyclic AMP system, the phosphatidylinositol diphosphate-inositol triphosphate system, and the cyclic GMP system.
