In this study, we investigated the role of store-operated Ca2+ channels (SOCC) on ACTH release using microperifusion system. The SOCC blockers, SKF96365 and MRS1845, did not affect the ACTH response to single AVP stimulation. After the depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores by treating with ionomycin, SOCC blockers reduced the initial spike phase of ACTH response to AVP, which is mediated by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-induced intracellular Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The sustained plateau phase of ACTH response, which is mediated by protein kinase C leading Ca2+ influx via L-type voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels, was not affected. Addition of L-type voltage-dependent Ca2+ channel blocker nimodipine with the SOCC blockers reduced both the initial spike and sustained phases of ACTH response to AVP. Even after ER Ca2+ depletion, the SOCC blockers did not affect the ACTH response to CRH, which is mediated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase A. Transient receptor potential (TRP) C channel is the strongest candidate for SOCC, and RT-PCR revealed that all types of TRPC homologue mRNA were expressed in rat anterior pituitary cells. In conclusion, the SOCC mediates the initial spike phase of ACTH response to AVP, possibly via ER Ca2+ store refilling to induce maximum response.

D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation. Radioimmunoassays
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.

D003346 Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone A peptide of about 41 amino acids that stimulates the release of ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE. CRH is synthesized by neurons in the PARAVENTRICULAR NUCLEUS of the HYPOTHALAMUS. After being released into the pituitary portal circulation, CRH stimulates the release of ACTH from the PITUITARY GLAND. CRH can also be synthesized in other tissues, such as PLACENTA; ADRENAL MEDULLA; and TESTIS.

D006490 Hemostatics Agents acting to arrest the flow of blood. Absorbable hemostatics arrest bleeding either by the formation of an artificial clot or by providing a mechanical matrix that facilitates clotting when applied directly to the bleeding surface. These agents function more at the capillary level and are not effective at stemming arterial or venous bleeding under any significant intravascular pressure.

D000324 Adrenocorticotropic Hormone An anterior pituitary hormone that stimulates the ADRENAL CORTEX and its production of CORTICOSTEROIDS. ACTH is a 39-amino acid polypeptide of which the N-terminal 24-amino acid segment is identical in all species and contains the adrenocorticotrophic activity. Upon further tissue-specific processing, ACTH can yield ALPHA-MSH and corticotrophin-like intermediate lobe peptide (CLIP).

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.
