The role of second messenger calcium in cAMP-mediated exocytosis from parotid cell aggregates has been assessed following extracellular (ethylene glycol bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA] and intracellular (quin2) calcium chelation. Only in the former case was inhibition (60-70%) of isoproterenol- and N6,O2-dibutyryl cAMP-stimulated amylase release observed. This inhibition was accompanied by a 70% decrease in cellular ATP levels. Depression of ATP levels with mitochondrial inhibitors was also correlated with inhibition of amylase secretion. Overall, our results suggest that depletion of cellular Ca2+ with EGTA leads to an inhibition of mitochondrial function and that these experimental conditions are therefore inappropriate for the evaluation of the role of cytosolic Ca2+ transients during stimulus-secretion coupling.
在细胞外(乙二醇双(β-氨基乙醚)-N,N,N',N'-四乙酸(EGTA))和细胞内(喹啉2)钙螯合后,已评估了第二信使钙在腮腺细胞聚集体中cAMP介导的胞吐作用中的作用。仅在前一种情况下,观察到异丙肾上腺素和N6,O2-二丁酰cAMP刺激的淀粉酶释放受到抑制(60-70%)。这种抑制伴随着细胞ATP水平下降70%。用线粒体抑制剂降低ATP水平也与淀粉酶分泌的抑制相关。总体而言,我们的结果表明,用EGTA耗尽细胞Ca2+会导致线粒体功能受到抑制,因此这些实验条件不适用于评估刺激-分泌偶联过程中胞质Ca2+瞬变的作用。
