Amylase release from the rat parotid gland is mainly mediated in a cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA)-dependent manner. In the present study, amylase release mediated in cAMP-dependent and PKA-independent manners was investigated with a cAMP-regulated guanine nucleotide exchange factor (cAMP-GEF: Epac)-selective cAMP analogue, 8CPT-2Me-cAMP. The Epac was localized in the intracellular and the plasma membrane fractions. PKA activation by 8CPT-2Me-cAMP was 100-fold lower than that by cAMP. The amylase release (% of the total) from the intact parotid acinar cells was 16 and 3.6% by isoproterenol (1microM) and 8CPT-2Me-cAMP (200microM), respectively, and that from the saponin-permeabilized cells was 15 and 3% by cAMP (100microM) and 8CTP-2Me-cAMP (10microM), respectively. H-89 inhibited cAMP-induced amylase release, but did not inhibit 8CPT-2Me-cAMP-induced amylase release. These results indicated that amylase release by beta-adrenergic stimulation is mediated through both the cAMP/PKA and cAMP/Epac signal pathways.
大鼠腮腺淀粉酶的释放主要以一种依赖环磷酸腺苷(cAMP)的蛋白激酶(PKA)依赖性方式介导。在本研究中,使用一种cAMP调节的鸟嘌呤核苷酸交换因子(cAMP-GEF:Epac)选择性cAMP类似物8CPT-2Me-cAMP,研究了以cAMP依赖性和PKA非依赖性方式介导的淀粉酶释放。Epac定位于细胞内和质膜部分。8CPT-2Me-cAMP对PKA的激活作用比cAMP低100倍。完整腮腺腺泡细胞中,异丙肾上腺素(1μM)和8CPT-2Me-cAMP(200μM)诱导的淀粉酶释放(占总量的百分比)分别为16%和3.6%,皂苷通透细胞中,cAMP(100μM)和8CTP-2Me-cAMP(10μM)诱导的淀粉酶释放分别为15%和3%。H-89抑制cAMP诱导的淀粉酶释放,但不抑制8CPT-2Me-cAMP诱导的淀粉酶释放这些结果表明,β-肾上腺素能刺激引起的淀粉酶释放是通过cAMP/PKA和cAMP/Epac信号通路介导的。
