Calcium concentration and amylase secretion in guinea pig pancreatic acini: interactions between carbachol, cholecystokinin octapeptide and the phorbol ester, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate. 1986

T A Ansah, and S Dho, and R M Case

The effects of the phorbol ester, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) on amylase secretion and cytoplasmic free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) were investigated in dispersed guinea pig pancreatic acini. Carbachol evoked dose-dependent increases in amylase secretion and [Ca2+]i with half-maximal responses at 2.5 and 5 microM, respectively. Carbachol-induced calcium transients could be blocked by atropine. In the presence of a maximal effective dose of carbachol, cholecystokinin octapeptide caused no further increase in [Ca2+]i, suggesting that both agonists act on the same pool of trigger calcium. TPA (10(-9)-10(-6) M) stimulated amylase secretion with no change in [Ca2+]i. Maximum amylase secretion occurred at 0.5 microM TPA. Preincubation of acini in the presence of TPA resulted in a time- and dose-dependent inhibition (IC50 = 30 nM) of the carbachol-induced rise in [Ca2+]i, the maximal effect being observed within 3 min. The inactive phorbol ester, 4 alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate was ineffective in inhibiting the carbachol-stimulated rise in [Ca2+]i. These findings suggest that, in addition to stimulating amylase secretion, probably through protein kinase C, TPA may also exert a negative feedback control over secretagogue-induced calcium transients.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.
D010703 Phorbol Esters Tumor-promoting compounds obtained from CROTON OIL (Croton tiglium). Some of these are used in cell biological experiments as activators of protein kinase C. Phorbol Diester,Phorbol Ester,Phorbol Diesters,Diester, Phorbol,Diesters, Phorbol,Ester, Phorbol,Esters, Phorbol
D011493 Protein Kinase C An serine-threonine protein kinase that requires the presence of physiological concentrations of CALCIUM and membrane PHOSPHOLIPIDS. The additional presence of DIACYLGLYCEROLS markedly increases its sensitivity to both calcium and phospholipids. The sensitivity of the enzyme can also be increased by PHORBOL ESTERS and it is believed that protein kinase C is the receptor protein of tumor-promoting phorbol esters.

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.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement.

D012636 Secretory Rate The amount of a substance secreted by cells or by a specific organ or organism over a given period of time; usually applies to those substances which are formed by glandular tissues and are released by them into biological fluids, e.g., secretory rate of corticosteroids by the adrenal cortex, secretory rate of gastric acid by the gastric mucosa.

D012844 Sincalide An octapeptide hormone present in the intestine and brain. When secreted from the gastric mucosa, it stimulates the release of bile from the gallbladder and digestive enzymes from the pancreas.
