The possible role of metalloendoproteinase in stimulus-secretion coupling in adrenal chromaffin cells was examined using the metalloendoproteinase inhibitors 1,10-phenanthroline and carbobenzoxy-Gly-Phe-NH2. Catecholamine release elicited by nicotine or by depolarisation with 55 mM K+ was almost completely abolished by 0.5 mM 1,10-phenanthroline. Carbobenzoxy-Gly-Phe-NH2 (2.5 mM) inhibited catecholamine release in response to nicotine but enhanced that due to 55 mM K+. The rise in intracellular free calcium, [Ca2+]i, in response to either nicotine or 55 mM was inhibited by about 50% by both inhibitors. One site of action of metalloendoproteinase inhibitors may, therefore, be at the level of the regulation of [Ca2+]i. Catecholamine release and the rise in [Ca2+]i elicited by the calcium ionophore ionomycin were not reduced by the inhibitors. These results show that metalloendoproteinase inhibitors have complex effects on chromaffin cells including effects on the regulation of [Ca2+]i but do not inhibit calcium-activated exocytosis itself.
使用金属内蛋白酶抑制剂1,10 - 菲咯啉和苄氧羰基 - 甘氨酸 - 苯丙氨酸 - 氨对肾上腺嗜铬细胞中金属内蛋白酶在刺激 - 分泌偶联中的可能作用进行了研究。0.5 mM的1,10 - 菲咯啉几乎完全消除了尼古丁或55 mM K⁺去极化引发的儿茶酚胺释放。苄氧羰基 - 甘氨酸 - 苯丙氨酸 - 氨(2.5 mM)抑制了对尼古丁的儿茶酚胺释放,但增强了因55 mM K⁺引起的释放。两种抑制剂都使对尼古丁或55 mM K⁺响应的细胞内游离钙[Ca²⁺]i的升高受到约50%的抑制。因此,金属内蛋白酶抑制剂的一个作用位点可能在[Ca²⁺]i的调节水平。钙离子载体离子霉素引发的儿茶酚胺释放和[Ca²⁺]i升高未被抑制剂降低。这些结果表明,金属内蛋白酶抑制剂对嗜铬细胞有复杂的影响,包括对[Ca²⁺]i调节的影响,但不抑制钙激活的胞吐作用本身。
