Intracellular control of IP3-independent Ca2+ oscillations in pancreatic acini.
    Biochemical and biophysical research communications, 1996, May-15, Volume: 222, Issue:2

    In pancreatic acini, the high affinity cholecystokinin (CCK) receptor agonist, CCK-OPE which utilizes the phospholipase A2 (PLA2)/arachidonic acid (AA) pathway, dose-dependently increased intracellular Ca2+ spike frequency and amplitude. An uncoupler of proton gradients, FCCP, abolished Ca2+ oscillations and amylase secretion induced by CCK-OPE. Furthermore, FCCP or decreasing extravesicular pH inhibited ATP-dependent 45Ca2+ uptake into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) fraction. On the other hand, cytosolic acidification induced by Na(+)-free medium led to Ca2+ oscillations. Depletion of intracellular ATP by antimycin resulted in an abolition of the response to CCK-OPE. Administration of the K+ ionophore, valinomycin, abolished the action of CCK-OPE. Decreasing K+ concentrations outside the ER vesicles inhibited ATP-dependent 45Ca2+ uptake and AA-induced 45Ca2+ release. Caffeine inhibited the actions of CCK-OPE, whereas ryanodine did not have any effects. These data suggest that IP3-independent Ca2+ oscillations mediated by the PLA2 cascades involve the release of intracellular Ca2+ by AA and reuptake of Ca2+ by an ATP-dependent Ca2+/H+ antiport. Furthermore, the presence of K+ membrane potential gradient across the ER membrane is required for normal Ca2+ oscillations.
