Depolarizing K+ and medium hyposmolarity caused striking rises in both cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration [( Ca2+]i) and prolactin (PRL) secretion in GH4C1 cells, which were completely blocked by removal of medium Ca2+. However, the increase in [Ca2+]i and PRL secretion induced by hyposmolarity was clearly slower than that induced by K+. Although there was a good correlation between the zenith of PRL secretion and [Ca2+]i induced by various intensities of K+ or hyposmolarity, the regression slopes were significantly different between the K(+)-and hyposmolarity-induced changes (P less than 0.01). There was a good correlation between the maximum rate of change in PRL secretion and that of the increase in [Ca2+]i when the data from the 2 secretagogues were combined (r = 0.994, P less than 0.001, N = 9). We suggest that the rate of increase in [Ca2+]i may be more important than the amplitude of [Ca2+]i in stimulating PRL secretion.
去极化钾离子和低渗培养基可使GH4C1细胞的胞质游离钙离子浓度[Ca2+]i和催乳素(PRL)分泌显著升高,去除培养基中的钙离子可完全阻断这一现象。然而,低渗培养基诱导的[Ca2+]i升高和PRL分泌明显慢于钾离子诱导的变化。尽管不同强度的钾离子或低渗培养基诱导的PRL分泌峰值与[Ca2+]i之间存在良好的相关性,但钾离子和低渗培养基诱导的变化之间的回归斜率存在显著差异(P<0.01)。当将两种促分泌剂的数据合并时,PRL分泌的最大变化率与[Ca2+]i升高的最大变化率之间存在良好的相关性(r = 0.994,P<0.001,N = 9)。我们认为,在刺激PRL分泌方面,[Ca2+]i的升高速率可能比其幅度更为重要。
