主 题:AR4-2J pancreatic acinar cells amylase secretion calcium channels
摘 要:In the perifused fura-2 loaded exocrine pancreatic acinar cell line AR4-2J pulses of high potassium induced repetitive increases in intracellular calcium. Attached cells when stimulated with high potassium secreted large amount of amylase. High potassium-induced secretion was dependent both on the concentration of potassium and duration of stimulation. High potassium induced increases in intracellular calcium were inhibited by voltage-dependent calcium channel antagonists with an order of potency as follows: nifedipine ω-agatoxin IVA ω-conotoxin GVIA. In contrast, the L-type calcium channel antagonist nifedipine almost completely inhibited potassium-induced amylase secretion, whereas the N-type channel antagonist ω-conotoxin GVIA was without effect. The P-type channel antagonist ω-agatoxin IVA had a small inhibitory effect, but this inhibition was not significant at the level of amylase secretion. In conclusion, the AR4-2J cell line possesses different voltage-dependent calcium channels (L, P,N) with the L-type predominantly involved in depolarization induced amylase secretion.
