Adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate stimulates secretion of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone from permeabilized cells of the intermediate lobe of the rat pituitary gland. 1987

T Yamamoto, and Y Furuki, and S Guild, and J W Kebabian

The effect of Mg-ATP and cyclic AMP on the secretion of alpha-melanocyto-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) from electrically permeabilized cells of rat intermediate lobe (IL) were investigated. Addition of exogenous Ca2+ stimulated alpha-MSH secretion in a concentration- (EC50 = 4.8 microM) and temperature-dependent manner. This Ca2+-evoked secretion was further enhanced by Mg-ATP and cyclic AMP. Mg-ATP was required for the fully secretory response in the electrically permeabilized IL cells and the maximal secretion was reached at 1 mM. Cyclic AMP in the presence of GTP gamma S also potentiated Ca2+-evoked alpha-MSH secretion to the same magnitude as Mg-ATP. In the absence of Ca2+ both the cyclic AMP and Mg-ATP did not stimulate alpha-MSH secretion from IL cells. The data suggest that Mg-ATP and cyclic AMP may modulate directly the secretory components rather than change intracellular concentration of free Ca2+.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009074 Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormones Peptides with the ability to stimulate pigmented cells MELANOCYTES in mammals and MELANOPHORES in lower vertebrates. By stimulating the synthesis and distribution of MELANIN in these pigmented cells, they increase coloration of skin and other tissue. MSHs, derived from pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC), are produced by MELANOTROPHS in the INTERMEDIATE LOBE OF PITUITARY; CORTICOTROPHS in the ANTERIOR LOBE OF PITUITARY, and the hypothalamic neurons in the ARCUATE NUCLEUS OF HYPOTHALAMUS.

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.
