Interaction between phosphoinositide turnover system and cyclic AMP pathway for the secretion of pancreastatin and somatostatin from QGP-1N cells.
    Biochemical and biophysical research communications, 1992, Jun-30, Volume: 185, Issue:3

    It is found that secretion of pancreastatin and somatostatin from QGP-1N cells is regulated through muscarinic receptor-mediated activation of phosphatidylinositide hydrolysis system. In this report, whether the cAMP pathway interacts with the phosphoinositide turnover system for the secretion of pancreastatin and somatostatin from QGP-1N cells through muscarinic receptors was studied. Stimulation of QGP-1N cells with carbachol increased intracellular cAMP levels. The carbachol-induced increase in cAMP levels was inhibited by atropine. Calcium ionophore (A23187) and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate increased cAMP synthesis. Dibutyryl cAMP, forskolin and theophylline stimulated secretion of pancreastatin and somatostatin. When either dibutyryl cAMP, forskolin or theophylline was added in culture medium with A23187, phorbol ester or carbachol, a synergistic effect was found on pancreastatin and somatostatin secretion. These results suggest that interaction between the phosphoinositide turnover system and the cAMP pathway occurs in QGP-1N cells through muscarinic receptor stimulation for the secretion of pancreastatin and somatostatin.

Acetylcholine regulates pancreastatin secretion from the human pancreastatin-producing cell line (QGP-1N).
    The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism, 1991, Volume: 73, Issue:1

    Studies were made of pancreastatin (PST) secretion from a human PST-producing cell line (QGP-1N) in response to various secretagogues. Cells with immunoreactivity for PST were observed in monolayer cultures of QGP-1N cells. Carbachol stimulated PST secretion and the intracellular Ca2+ mobilization concentration dependently in the range of 10(-6)-10(-4) M. The PST secretion and Ca2+ mobilization induced by carbachol were inhibited by atropine. The calcium ionophore (A23187) stimulated PST secretion. However, cholecystokinin and gastrin-releasing peptide did not stimulate either PST secretion or Ca2+ mobilization. Secretin also did not stimulate PST secretion. The glucose concentration in the culture medium had no effect on PST secretion. These results suggest that PST secretion is mainly regulated by acetylcholine through a muscarinic receptor, and that an increase in intracellular Ca2+ plays an important role in stimulus-secretion coupling in QGP-1N cells.

Mechanisms of vasoactive intestinal peptide release in short-term culture of vasoactive intestinal peptide-producing tumor.
    Gastroenterology, 1988, Volume: 94, Issue:2

    Vasoactive intestinal peptide-producing tumor tissue fragments obtained at surgery were maintained in short-term culture. Functional cellular integrity of vasoactive intestinal peptide-producing tumor tissue was reflected by progressive protein synthesis and the ability of tumor tissue to release vasoactive intestinal peptide when stimulated by the intracellular second messengers cyclic adenosine monophosphate and calcium. Studies with verapamil and ethyleneglycol-bis (beta-aminoethylether)-N,N'-tetraacetic acid suggest that cyclic nucleotide- and ionophore A23187-mediated vasoactive intestinal peptide release are dependent, at least in part, upon the availability and transmembrane transport of extracellular calcium.

Effect of phorbol esters on glucagon secretion from a glucagon-secreting clonal cell line. Synergistic effects of A23187 and theophylline.
    Diabetes research and clinical practice, 1986, Volume: 2, Issue:1

    The cell line In-R1-G9 is one of the clones from the hamster insulinoma cell line, In-111-R1, and it produces glucagon. Phorbol esters markedly enhanced glucagon secretion and the stimulatory effect was found to be correlated to their biological activity as tumor promoters. At a concentration of 200 nM, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) stimulated glucagon secretion 13-fold more than the control in 10 min. The effect of TPA was not influenced by actinomycin D, cycloheximide, colchicine or vincristine. Depletion of calcium from the incubation medium inhibited TPA-induced glucagon secretion by approximately 50% and dibucaine also suppressed glucagon secretion to 67.4%. An addition of A23187 to TPA induced 150% enhancement over the TPA-stimulated glucagon level, and the maximum secretory response was observed when the cells were stimulated with the simultaneous addition of TPA, A23187 and theophylline.

Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ cycle of a rat insulinoma cell line.
    The Journal of biological chemistry, 1985, Aug-05, Volume: 260, Issue:16

    Regulation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+ cycling by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) was studied in saponin-permeabilized RINm5F insulinoma cells. Cells were incubated with mitochondrial inhibitors, and medium Ca2+ concentration established by nonmitochondrial pool(s) (presumably the ER) was monitored with a Ca2+ electrode. IP3 degradation accounted for the transience of the Ca2+ response induced by pulse additions of the molecule. To compensate for degradation, IP3 was infused into the medium. This resulted in elevation of [Ca2+] from about 0.2 microM to a new steady state between 0.3 and 1.0 microM, depending on both the rate of IP3 infusion and the ER Ca2+ content. The elevated steady state represented a bidirectional buffering of [Ca2+] by the ER, as slight displacements in [Ca2+], by small aliquots of Ca2+ or the Ca2+ chelator quin 2, resulted in net uptake or efflux of Ca2+ to restore the previous steady state. When IP3 infusion was stopped, [Ca2+] returned to its original low level. Ninety per cent of the Ca2+ accumulated by the ER was released by IP3 when the total Ca2+ content did not exceed 15 nmol/mg of cell protein. Above this high Ca2+ content, Ca2+ was accumulated in an IP3-insensitive, A23187-releasable pool. The maximal amount of Ca2+ that could be released from the ER by IP3 was 13 nmol/mg of cell protein. The data support the concept that in the physiological range of Ca2+ contents, almost all the ER is an IP3-sensitive Ca2+ store that is capable of finely regulating [Ca2+] through independent influx (Ca2+-ATPase) and efflux (IP3-modulated component) pathways of Ca2+ transport. IP3 may continuously modulate Ca2+ cycling across the ER and play an important role in determining the ER Ca2+ content and in regulating cytosolic Ca2+ under both stimulated and possibly basal conditions.

Regulation of Ca2+ transport by isolated organelles of a rat insulinoma. Studies with endoplasmic reticulum and secretory granules.
    The Journal of biological chemistry, 1984, Aug-25, Volume: 259, Issue:16

    The regulation of extramicrosomal Ca2+ concentration maintained by suspensions of rat insulinoma microsomes was studied using Ca2+-selective minielectrodes. The Ca2+-transporting activity was MgATP dependent and correlated with the endoplasmic reticulum marker NADPH-cytochrome c reductase. When incubated in a high KCl medium containing Mg2+ and phosphate, the microsomes lowered [Ca2+] within less than 10 min to around 0.2 microM. They had a high Ca2+-sequestering activity since they were able to take up and retain several small Ca2+ additions. No evidence for a Na+/Ca2+ countertransport was obtained. The accumulated Ca2+ was released by the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 or upon transforming ATP into ADP using glucose plus hexokinase. The addition of ADP, at concentrations present in cells, resulted in a dose-dependent and reversible net Ca2+ efflux from the microsomes until a higher [Ca2+] steady state was reached. This was specific for ADP since GDP, UDP, CDP, IDP, and the nonhydrolyzable analogue methylene-ADP as well as AMP and cAMP did not reproduce the effect. Insulin secretory granules were unable to lower medium [Ca2+] or to take up a pulse addition of Ca2+. However, most of the large granular calcium content was released by A23187. The addition of Na+ and lowering or increasing medium pH by 0.2 pH unit did not induce Ca2+ uptake or efflux from the secretory granules. The results indicate that insulinoma endoplasmic reticulum but not insulin secretory granules may play a critical role in the regulation of cytosolic Ca2+. A variation in cellular ADP content following secretagogue addition might modulate Ca2+ fluxes across the endoplasmic reticulum and contribute in raising cytosolic Ca2+.
