Abstract
Ionomycin, a polyether antibiotic, stimulated the secretion of catecholamines and dopamine beta-hydroxylase from perfused adrenal glands and [3H]norepinephrine ([3H]NE) from spleens of the cat. Release was calcium dependent, and strontium or barium did not substitute for calcium. Ionomycin failed to release [3H]NE from reserpinized spleens. High magnesium did not interfere in the ionomycin response, but lanthanum and manganese blocked it. Ionomycin response that was pH dependent was not affected by potassium depolarization. The secretory response to ionomycin was enhanced when both glycolysis and oxidative metabolism were inhibited. It is concluded that ionomycin introduces calcium into the chromaffin cells and adrenergic nerve terminals to cause the secretory response and that a rise in intracellular calcium may be an adequate stimulus for secretion.

Abstract
D vitamins are effective inhibitors of the in vitro intraerythrocytic growth of Plasmodium falciparum. Disappearance of the parasitemia was observed after 48 h contact between infected cells and 5 x 10(-6) M 1 alpha-hydroxycholecalciferol, 5 x 10(-5) M 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (25-OH-D-3), 1 alpha, 25-dihydroxycholecalciferol or 2.5 x 10(-4) vitamin D-2 and D-3. A 48 h pretreatment of healthy erythrocytes with 5 x 10(-5) M 25-OH-D-3 did not change their susceptibility to invasion by the parasite and their ability to support the growth of P. falciparum. Ionomycin, a calcium ionophore, and EGTA prevented parasite development at concentrations greater than 2 x 10(-7) M and 4 x 10(-4) M, respectively, but did not antagonize the inhibitory activity of 25-OH-D-3. Addition of 25-OH-D-3 for 12 or 24 h duration to synchronized cultures, showed that the drug had a schizonticidal action, but was without effect when parasites were in the ring form.

Abstract
The ionophorous antibiotic ionomycin released histamine from rat peritoneal mast cells in both the presence and absence of added calcium ions. The response under the latter conditions was potentiated by brief pretreatment of the cells with chelating agents. The interaction between the ionophore and exogenous calcium was complex. Supramaximal concentrations of calcium potentiated the release induced by low levels of ionomycin but markedly inhibited the secretion evoked by larger amounts of the compound. Dispersed mesenteric mast cells of the rat and guinea pig also responded to ionomycin but were less reactive than the peritoneal cells.

Abstract
1. We have measured the breakdown of [3H]phosphatidylinositol in rabbit neutrophils prelabelled with [3H]glycerol by a pulse-chase procedure. With a view to defining a possible causal relationship between phosphatidylinositol breakdown and enzyme secretion in these cells, we have compared the characteristics of both these processes induced by either the receptor-directed agonist formylmethionyl-leucylphenylalanine (fMet-Leu-Phe) or the Ca2+-ionophore ionomycin. 2. The dependence on fMet-Leu-Phe concentration of phosphatidylinositol breakdown and secretion is identical (half-maximal at 0.3 nM). This is 30-fold less than that required for half-maximal occupation of receptors. 3. Both secretion and breakdown of phosphatidylinositol due to fMet-Leu-Phe are modulated by extracellular Ca2+. The sensitivity to Ca2+ of both processes is enhanced by pretreatment to deplete cell Ca2+. The concentration of Ca2+ required to cause half-maximal effects of both processes in Ca2+-depleted cells on stimulation with 1nM-fMet-Leu-Phe is 100 microM. Ionomycin-stimulated secretion and breakdown of phosphatidylinositol are completely dependent on extracellular Ca2+ over similar concentration ranges. 4. Both secretion and phosphatidylinositol breakdown due to fMet-Leu-Phe approach completion by 10s. With ionomycin these processes are slower, terminating by 2 min. 5. In the presence of [32P]Pi, labelling of [32P]phosphatidic acid reaches a maximum 15 min after stimulation with either fMet-Leu-Phe or ionomycin. This precedes the labelling of [32P]phosphatidylinositol and shows the expected precursor-product relationship. 6. We conclude from these results that in rabbit neutrophils a rise in cytosol [Ca2+] is both sufficient and necessary to cause secretion and phosphatidylinositol breakdown. In cells depleted of Ca2+, the occupation of receptors by fMet-Leu-Phe is without effect on these two processes.

Abstract
Subcellular membrane fractions were isolated from the circular muscle of the corpus of canine stomach by differential and isopycnic sucrose density gradient centrifugation. Differential centrifugation gave a mitochondrial fraction enriched (fourfold) in cytochrome c oxidase and a microsomal fraction enriched (fourfold) in 5'-nucleotidase and NADPH-cytochrome c reductase over postnuclear supernatant. On the basis of a study using continuous gradient, a discontinuous sucrose density gradient was prepared to yield F1 to F5 fractions. The F3 fraction at the interface of 18-32% (w/w) sucrose was maximally enriched (13-fold) in 5'-nucleotidase. The fraction contained very low levels of cytochrome c oxidase but did contain NADPH-cytochrome c reductase (eightfold enrichment). The F4 fraction, at the interface of 32-40% (w/w) sucrose, was maximally enriched in NADPH-cytochrome c reductase (12-fold) and cytochrome c oxidase (6-fold). The distribution of the azide-insensitive. ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake correlated very well with that of 5'-nucleotidase but less well with NADPH-cytochrome c reductase and not at all with cytochrome c oxidase. Sodium azide and ruthenium red inhibited the ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake by the mitochondrial fraction and postnuclear supernatant, but not by the F3 fraction. ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake by the F3 fraction was inhibited by calcium ionophores A23187 and ionomycin, but not by the sodium ionophore, monensin. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that the plasma membrane plays a major role ih regulating intracellular Ca2+ concentration in canine corpus circular muscle.

Abstract
In the present work, we show that pimozide is a noncompetitive antagonist of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)-stimulated LH release from pituitary cell cultures. For several other neurotropic agents, the concentration needed to inhibit 50% of LH release in response to GnRH correlates well with the ability to inhibit enzyme activation by calmodulin in vitro. Pimozide does not alter the affinity or amount of releasing hormone binding by the GnRH receptor. The additional observation that pimozide inhibits Ca2+ ionophore (A23187 and ionomycin)-stimulated LH release suggests that the locus of pimozide action is after Ca2+ mobilization. Pimozide is known to bind and inactivate the Ca2+-calmodulin complex, and as Ca2+ is a second messenger for GnRH, it is possible that calmodulin is the target of pimozide in this system.

Abstract
Previous experiments on the functional properties of rat basophilic leukaemia cells showed a major anomaly when compared to normal mast cells: though IgE-mediated secretion was dependent on external Ca2+ with both types of cells, substantial non-cytotoxic release with ionophore A23187 could be demonstrated with the normal cells but not with the tumour cells. We now show that when the pH of the incubation medium is increased to 8 it is possible to obtain excellent Ca-dependent, non-cytotoxic secretion from tumour basophils with the ionophores A23187 and ionomycin. These results provide further evidence that secretion from the tumour cells occurs via a mechanism similar to that used by normal mast cells and basophils. Experiments with metabolically inhibited tumour cells suggest that their unusual sensitivity to the cytotoxic effects of Ca2+ ionophores may be related to their ability to sequester intracellular calcium. Changes in the conditions of cell culture appeared to produce substantial and at least partially reversible changes in responsiveness to IgE-mediated triggering and ionophores.

Abstract
Brief exposure of cultured chicken pectoralis muscle cells to ionomycin or A23187 selectively increases the rate of incorporation of [35S]methionine into an 80,000-dalton protein was also observed upon cell-free translation of poly(A)-enriched RNA isolated from ionomycin-treated, as compared with control, cultures. These observations suggest that ionomycin selectively increases the cellular concentration of mRNA, which codes for the 80,000-dalton protein. The effect is probably mediated through an increase in cytoplasmic [Ca2+] caused by the ionophore. A similar effect of ionomycin was observed in cultured fibroblasts, HeLa cells, mouse LSP cells, and monkey kidney CV1 cells.

Abstract
Two divalent cation ionophores, A23187 and Ionomycin, which are selective for calcium, stimulated the resorption of fetal rat long bones in organ culture at 0.1 to 1 micromolar but not at higher concentrations. Both agents inhibited DNA synthesis at concentrations that stimulated resorption. These results might explain the differences in ionophore effects on bone previously reported, and they imply that cell replication is not required for osteoclast formation in fetal rat long bone cultures.

Abstract
The influence of the Ca2+ ionophores, ionomycin and A23187 upon the incorporation of [35S]methionine into proteins of cultured chicken pectoralis muscle was studied during differentiation of myoblasts into multinucleated myotubes. Fusion was reversibly arrested by growing cells in low-calcium media from the time of plating. Exposure of normal and fusion blocked cultures to 10-6-10-5 M ionomycin or A23187 for 2-6 h on the second to fourth day of growth, resulted in a selective increase in the incorporation of [35S]methionine into two proteins of about 100 000 and 80 000 dalton. When 10-5 M ionomycin or A23187 were added to older cultures, all large myotubes contracted and detached from the plate. Only the adhering myoblasts and small myotubes incorporated [35s[methionine into the muscle proteins and showed increased incorporation of label into 100 000 and 80 000 proteins. After ionophore pulse, the adhering cells retained the ability to differentiate and accumulate myosin. The effect of Ca2+ ionophores upon the rate of protein synthesis is presumably related to increased influx of extracellular Ca2+ with a rise in the Ca2+ concentration of the cytoplasm. We conclude that Ca2+ sensitive mechanisms may regulate the synthesis of a select group of muscle proteins.

Abstract
Enhanced phosphorylation of two specific protein bands accompanied catecholamine secretion from cultured bovine adrenal medulla cells stimulated by different secretagogues. Cells preincubated with 32Pi were treated with nicotine, veratridine, Ionomycin, or barium. Each of these secretagogues stimulated the phosphorylation of two protein bands with apparent molecular weights of 60,000 and 95,000. Phosphorylation of the 60,000 M. W. protein band was two- to threefold higher than that of the 95,000 M. W. band on stimulation with nicotine, veratridine, or barium, but Ionomycin stimulated phosphorylation of each protein band to the same extent. In general, the increase in phosphorylation was most rapid during the first minute of stimulation and occurred prior to detectable secretion. Phosphorylation reached a relatively constant level within 5 min after onset of stimulation at a time when catecholamine release was still proceeding at a rapid rate. Nicotine-stimulated phosphorylation and catecholamine secretion were calcium-dependent and blocked by d-tubocurarine, whereas tetrodotoxin inhibited veratridine-stimulated secretion and phosphorylation. We conclude that catecholamine secretion and protein phosphorylation occur under similar conditions and that Ca2+-dependent incorporation of phosphate into specific proteins may be a link in stimulus-secretion coupling.

Abstract
Challenge of human neutrophils prelabeled with [3H] arachidonate and [14C] palmitate or [14C]-stearate with opsonized zymosan or the Ca2+ ionophores A23187 or Ionomycin caused the release of [3H], but not [14C], fatty acid. With the ionophores, but not zymosan, considerable conversion of the [3H] arachidonate to hydroxyeicosatetraenoates occurred. Although various isomers were recovered, the 5-hydroxyeicosatetraenoate appeared to be the major product. In these experiments, no [14C] products were detected such as lysophospholipid, diglyceride or monoglyceride. Although no definite statement can be made about the mechanism of release of arachidonate, our data are most easily interpreted as the result of the action of a phospholipase A2.

Abstract
In common with other cells which use intracellular Ca2+ to mediate specific cell function, when rabbit neutrophils are stimulated with specific agonists the rate of metabolism of phosphatidylinositol (PI) increases. This is normally measured as the incorporation of radioactive phosphate or inositol into PI, but these reactions are presumed to be secondary processes following the initial breakdown of pre-existing PI to diacylglycerol. The radioactive labels are incorporated during the stepwise resynthesis of PI via phosphatidic acid (PA). It has been suggested that in the sequence of biochemical events, starting with the binding of the ligand to a receptor, and finally resulting in the expression of cellular activity, the breakdown of PI is an early event immediately directed by activation of the receptor. This could then control the increase in cytoplasmic Ca2+ and other processes dependent on this. Here we report an analysis of the temporal relationship between these phospholipid changes and cell stimulation. Our evidence suggests that in neutrophils, PI breakdown and PA labelling are both consequences and not causes of a rise in intracellular Ca2+.

Abstract
Platelet activation is linked to an increase in the cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration and consequently can also be induced by ionophores which mobilize Ca2+ from intracellular storage sites or transport it through the plasma membrane. The ionophores mostly used in studies on platelet activation are A 23187 and lasalocid (X-537A). The effects of eight compounds with known Ca2+-ionophoric activity in synthetic or natural membrane systems were studied in order to investigate the relationship between transport Ca2+ and activation of platelets. Inomycin acts as a true Ca2+ ionophore: it elicits rapid shape change, aggregation, the release reaction (secretion) and clot retraction (contraction). Beauvericin activates platelets too, but probably not by increasing the cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration. Lysocellin does not activate platelets but induces a passive loss of serotonin.

Abstract
A number of carboxylic ionophores stimulate the secretion of norepinephrine from cell suspensions prepared from a transplantable rat pheochromocytoma. The divalent-cation ionophore ionomycin stimulates catecholamine secretion by a mechanism that is dependent upon the presence of extracellular Ca++. It is likely that ionomycin-induced catecholamine secretion results from the ionophore-mediated entry of Ca++ into the cells. The monovalent-cation ionophore monensin stimulates catecholamine secretion by a mechanism that is independent of extracellular Ca++, but is markedly dependent upon extracellular Na+. Monensin probably transports Na+ into the pheochromocytoma cells and increases the intracellular concentration of Na+ in these cells. This rise in intracellular Na+ may cause the release of Ca++ from some intracellular store. Lasalocid stimulates catecholamine secretion by a mechanism that is independent of extracellular Ca++ and is only slightly dependent upon extracellular Na+. The action of lasalocid, in contrast to the actions of ionomycin and monensin, is potentiated by decreased pH. It is likely that lasalocid enters the cells in its uncharged, protonated form. Once inside the cells, lasalocid may promote the release of intracellular Ca++. Alternatively, lasalocid and monensin may stimulate catecholamine secretion by the process which is independent of Ca++. These experiments show that ionophores can stimulate catecholamine secretion by at least three distinct ionic mechanisms.

Abstract
Based on the effects of ionomycin upon mitochondrial respiration, ionomycin was shown to be an effective ionophore for Ca2+ in rat liver mitochondria. The ionomycin-induced efflux of Ca2+ across the inner membrane was more sensitive to loading the mitochondria with Ca2+ than was efflux catalyzed by A23187. At saturating concentrations of Ca2+, the turnover number for ionomycin was 3- to 5-fold greater than that of A23187. Ionomycin catalyzed the efflux of mitochondrial Mg2+ at rates comparable to those observed with A23187. Ionomycin also mediated an efflux of K+ provided that the mitochondria were depleted of their endogenous divalent metal ions. The apparent turnover numbers for K+ efflux suggest that ionomycin is more specific for divalent metal ions than A23187.
