Abstract
In enzymically isolated mouse pancreatic acinar cells, under conditions of whole-cell patch-clamp current recording, the effect of phospholipase C-coupled agonists can be mimicked by internal perfusion of the intracellular second messenger Ins(1,4,5)P3 (10 microM) or its analogue Ins(2,4,5)P3 (10 microM). The inositol trisphosphates mimic receptor activation by releasing Ca2+ from intracellular stores and by promoting Ca2+ influx across the surface membrane. This Ca(2+)-mobilizing role of inositol polyphosphates seems to be confined to the inositol trisphosphates because internal perfusion of Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 (10 microM) is not associated with any Ca(2+)-dependent current activation. In this study we investigate the effects of 4-bromophenacyl bromide (4BPB), a putative inhibitor of phospholipase A2 and arachadonic acid production, on inositol polyphosphate-induced Ca2+ signalling. At 10 microM, 4BPB has no effect on unstimulated Ca(2+)-dependent membrane currents. However, if 4BPB is applied to cells internally perfused with 10 microM Ins(1,4,5)P3 or Ins(2,4,5)P3 then the current responses are rapidly potentiated. In cells internally perfused with 10 microM Ins(1,3,4,5)P4, which has itself no effect on membrane currents, application of 4BPB resulted in the activation of Ca(2+)-dependent currents, seen either as repetitive spikes of current or as sustained current activations. The application of arachidonic acid blocks the current responses evoked by the inositol trisphosphates and by Ins(1,3,4,5)P4/4BPB. These results suggest that in enzymically isolated pancreatic acinar cells phospholipase A2 activity is exerting an inhibitory effect on inositol polyphosphate-mediated Ca2+ mobilization. 4BPB removes this inhibition and potentiates the responses to internally perfused inositol trisphosphates and, importantly, makes 10 microM Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 as effective as 10 microM Ins(1,4,5)P3 in mobilizing intracellular Ca2+ and in promoting Ca2+ influx.

Abstract
In order to investigate the cellular mechanisms involved in amylase release in response to stimulation with short-chain fatty acids, changes in intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i), membrane current and amylase release were measured in pancreatic acinar cells of sheep. Both octanoate and acetylcholine raised [Ca2+]i in acinar cells in a concentration-dependent manner. The rise in [Ca2+]i in response to the stimulation with octanoate (10 mmol.l-1) was reduced in a medium without CaCl2, but was markedly enhanced by reintroduction of CaCl2 into the medium up to 2.56 mmol.l-1. Perfusion of the cells with a medium containing octanoate (5 mmol.l-1) or acetylcholine (0.5 mumol.l-1) immediately raised inward current across the cell membrane at a holding-membrane potential of -30 mV. The inward current became greater as the holding potential became more negative. The equilibrium potential was 1.8 mV and 3.9 mV for octanoate and acetylcholine, respectively, being consistent with that for Cl-. Although intracellular application of octanoate through a patch-clamp pipette also raised inward current after several minutes in some cells (4 out of 12), this possibility was significantly smaller than that for extracellular application. In other cells, even though the intracellular application of octanoate did not cause an increase in current, it always caused responses immediately after introduction of the fatty acid into the medium. Stimulation with fatty acid as well as acetylcholine raised amylase release in a concentration-dependent manner in cells dispersed from tissue segments with crude collagenase and trypsin inhibitor. Without trypsin inhibitor, crude collagenase significantly and selectively reduced the octanoate (10 mmol.l-1)-induced amylase release. Dispersion with crude collagenase and trypsin significantly reduced both responses induced by octanoate and acetylcholine (5.5 mumol.l-1). We conclude that fatty acids and acetylcholine increase [Ca2+]i, which consequently evokes a rise in transmembrane ion (Cl-) conductance and amylase release, and that trypsin-sensitive protein(s) in the cell membrane are involved in secretory processes activated by stimulation with fatty acids in ovine pancreatic acinar cells.

Abstract
In isolated pancreatic acinar cells application of the proton-potassium ionophore nigericin or the proton-sodium ionophore monensin led to a reduction of acidity inside the zymogen granules which could be visualized in an imaging system by a rapid reduction in the intragranular quinacrine fluorescence. Cytosolic Ca2+ spikes in response to acetylcholine stimulation or intracellular inositol trisphosphate application were assessed by recording Ca2+ -sensitive ionic currents in the patch clamp whole-cell recording configuration. Both nigericin and monensin evoked marked reductions in frequency and amplitude of spikes and in many experiments abolished spiking altogether. The Ca2+ -sensitive membrane currents could still be activated after nigericin or monensin treatment since subsequent application of the Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin evoked a large current response. The decrease in intragranular acidity would appear to inhibit intracellular Ca2+ release perhaps due to a reduction in the free intragranular Ca2+ concentration.

Abstract
Modulation of the agonist-specific cytosolic Ca2+ oscillatory pattern by thimerosal has been investigated in single pancreatic acinar cells using patch-clamp perforated whole-cell recording to measure the calcium-dependent chloride current (I(C1)(Ca2+)). 1 microM thimerosal, which fails to evoke Ca2+ oscillation alone, clearly changed the pattern of Ca2+ oscillation from pulsatile spikes (evoked by low concentrations of activators) to sinusoidal or transient oscillations. The mimetic action of thimerosal was independent of extracellular Ca2+, was blocked by extracellular application of dithiothreitol or 10 mM caffeine, as well as by internal perfusion with heparin; but was unaffected by ruthenium red. We conclude that thimerosal modulates the agonist-specific cytosolic Ca2+ oscillatory patterns mediated by sensitizing the InsP3-induced Ca2+ release.

Abstract
Acetylcholine (ACh) caused repetitive transient Cl- currents activated by intracellular Ca2+ in single rat submandibular grand acinar cells. As the concentration of ACh increased the amplitude and the frequency of the transient Cl- currents increased. These responses occurred also in the absence of extracellular Ca2+ but disappeared after several minutes. Repetitive transient Cl- currents were restored by readmission of Ca2+ to the extracellular solution. The higher the concentration of extracellular Ca2+ readmitted, the larger the amplitude of the transient Cl- currents. Ca2+ entry through a store-coupled pathway was detected by application of Ca2+ to the extracellular solution during a brief cessation of stimulation with ACh. In these experiments too, the higher the concentration of Ca2+, the larger the transient Cl- currents activated by Ca2+ released from the stores. The time course of decrease in total charge movements of repetitive transient responses to ACh with removal of extracellular Ca2+ depended on a decrease in charge movements of each transient event rather than a decrease in frequency of the repetitive events. The decrease of charge movements of each transient event was due to a decrease in its amplitude rather than its duration. The results suggest that in this cell type and amplitude-modulated mechanism is involved in repetitive Ca2+ release and that Ca2+ entry is essential to maintain the repetitive release of Ca2+. The results further suggest that the magnitude of Ca2+ entry determines the number of unitary stores filled with Ca2+ which can synchronously respond to ACh.

Abstract
Stimulation of single HeLa cells with histamine evoked repetitive increases of the intracellular calcium ion concentration (Ca2+ spikes). The frequency of Ca2+ spiking increased as the extracellular hormone concentration was elevated. In addition, the frequency of Ca2+ spiking could be accelerated by increasing the extracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]0) in the presence of a constant hormone concentration. The range of [Ca2+]0 over which the spiking frequency could be titrated was nominally-zero to 10mM, being half-maximally effective at approx. 1 and 2.5mM for 37 and 22 degrees C respectively. The effect of [Ca2+]0 on inositol phosphates production was also examined. Changes of [Ca2+]0 over a range which had been found to affect the frequency of Ca2+ spiking did not have any effect on the rate of myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) production, although an increase in inositol phosphates production was observed as [Ca2+]0 was increased from zero to values giving less than half-maximal Ca2+ spike frequency. These data suggest that at low Ca2+ spike frequency, Ca2+-stimulated activation of phospholipase C may contribute to Ca2+ spiking in HeLa cells, but under some conditions the availability of Ca2+ to the intracellular stores, rather than changes in the rate of InsP3 production, determines the Ca2+ spike frequency.

Abstract
This study investigates the effect of magnesium (Mg2+) on the secretory responses and the mobilization of calcium (Ca2+) and Mg2+ evoked by cholecystokinin-octapeptide (CCK-8) in the exocrine rat pancreas. In the isolated intact perfused pancreas CCK-8 (10(-10) M) produced marked increases in juice flow and total protein output in zero and normal (1.1 mM) extracellular Mg2+ [Mg2+]o compared to a much reduced secretory response in elevated (5 mM and 10 mM) [Mg2+]o. Similar effects of perturbation of [Mg2+]o on amylase secretion and 45 Ca2+ uptake (influx) were obtained in isolated pancreatic segments. In pancreatic acinar cells loaded with the fluorescent bioprobe fura-2 acetomethylester (AM), CCK-8 evoked marked increases in cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration [Ca2+]i in zero and normal [Mg2+]o compared to a much reduced response in elevated [Mg2+]o. Pretreatment of acinar cells with either dibutyryl cyclic AMP (DB2 cAMP) or forskolin had no effect on the CCK-8 induced changes in [Ca2+]i. In magfura-2-loaded acinar cells CCK-8 (10(-8) M) stimulated an initial transient rise in intracellular free Mg2+ concentration [Mg2+]i followed by a more prolonged and sustained decrease. This response was abolished when sodium (Na+) was replaced with N-methyl-D-glucamine (NMDG). Incubation of acinar cells with 10 mM Mg2+ resulted in an elevation in [Mg2+]i. Upon stimulation with CCK-8, [Mg2+]i decreased only slightly compared with the response obtained in normal [Mg2+]o. CCK-8 caused a net efflux of Mg2+ in pancreatic segments; this effect was abolished when extracellular sodium [Na+]o was replaced with either NMDG or choline. The results indicate that Mg2+ can regulate CCK-8-evoked secretory responses in the exocrine pancreas possibly via Ca2+ mobilization. Moreover, the movement of Mg2+ in pancreatic acinar cells is dependent upon extracellular Na+.

Abstract
We study the models for calcium (Ca) dynamics developed in earlier studies, in each of which the key component is the kinetics of intracellular inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate-sensitive Ca channels. After rapidly equilibrating steps are eliminated, the channel kinetics in these models are represented by a single differential equation that is linear in the state of the channel. In the reduced kinetic model, the graph of the steady-state fraction of conducting channels as a function of log10(Ca) is a bell-shaped curve. Dynamically, a step increase in inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate induces an incremental increase in the fraction of conducting channels, whereas a step increase in Ca can either potentiate or inhibit channel activation, depending on the Ca level before and after the increase. The relationships among these models are discussed, and experimental tests to distinguish between them are given. Under certain conditions the models for intracellular calcium dynamics are reduced to the singular perturbed form epsilon dx/d tau = f(x, y, p), dy/d tau = g(x, y, p). Phase-plane analysis is applied to a generic form of these simplified models to show how different types of Ca response, such as excitability, oscillations, and a sustained elevation of Ca, can arise. The generic model can also be used to study frequency encoding of hormonal stimuli, to determine the conditions for stable traveling Ca waves, and to understand the effect of channel properties on the wave speed.

Abstract
Extracellular application of ATP evoked the oscillatory K+ currents (IKCa) reflecting oscillation in cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2-]i) of megakaryocyte isolated from rat bone marrow. We have reported that the [Ca2+], oscillation was regulated by intracellular Ca(2+)-pumping activity (Uneyama H.C. Uneyama and N. Akaike, 1993, J. Biol. Chem. 268, 168). Here we found that the Ca2+ pump of the megakaryocyte could be divided into at least two classes according to the sensitivity to phosphorylation-modulating drugs. The effects of protein kinase C and cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase are complementary, and the effect of Ca2+/calmodulin is independent of the above two kinases. In addition, this is the first report concerning the physiological regulation of Ca(2+)-ATPase in living cells.

Abstract
The store-mediated Ca2+ entry was detected in single and cluster of rat submandibular acinar cells by measuring the Ca2+ activated ionic membrane currents. In the cells where intracellular Ca2+ was partly depleted by stimulation with submaximal concentration of acetylcholine (ACh) under a Ca2(+)-free extracellular condition, an employment of external Ca2+ in the absence of ACh caused a sustained increase of the K+ current without affecting the Cl- current. A renewed ACh challenge without external Ca2+ caused repetitive spikes of both K+ and Cl- currents due to the Ca2+ release. SK & F 96365 inhibited the generation of the sustained K+ current and refilling of the Ca2+ store following the Ca2+ readmission. It is suggested that the Ca2+ enters the cell through the store-mediated pathway new the K+ channels and is taken up by the store. Thus, only Ca2+ released from the store can activate both the K+ and Cl- currents.

Abstract
Intracellular Ca2+ oscillations are often a response to external signals such as hormones. Changes in the external signal can alter the frequency, amplitude, or form of the oscillations suggesting that information is encoded in the pattern of Ca2+ oscillations. How might a cell decode this signal? We show that an excitable system whose kinetic parameters are modulated by the Ca2+ concentration can function as a Ca2+ oscillation detector. Such systems have the following properties: (1) They are more sensitive to an oscillatory than to a steady Ca2+ signal. (2) Their response is largely independent of the signal amplitude. (3) They can extract information from a noisy signal. (4) Unlike other frequency sensitive detectors, they have a flat frequency response. These properties make a Ca(2+)-sensitive excitable system nearly ideal for detecting and decoding Ca2+ oscillations. We suggest that Ca2+ oscillations, in concert with these detectors, can act as cellular timekeepers to coordinate related biochemical reactions and enhance their overall efficiency.

Abstract
Rabbit pancreatic acinar cells, permeabilized by saponin treatment, were used to study the kinetics of ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake and release in inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins-1,4,5-P3)-sensitive and -insensitive stores. Permeabilized acinar cells rapidly accumulated Ca2+ to steady-state. At steady state, approximately 60% of actively stored Ca2+ resided in the Ins-1,4,5-P3-sensitive store. Kinetic analysis of the Ca2+ uptake process revealed that the initial Ca2+ uptake rate was 1.7 times higher in the Ins-1,4,5-P3-insensitive store as compared to the Ins-1,4,5-P3-sensitive store. On the other hand, the Ca2+ uptake capacity was 1.6 times higher in the Ins-1,4,5-P3-sensitive store as compared to the Ins-1,4,5-P3-insensitive store. The Ca2+ uptake rate in the Ins-1,4,5-P3-sensitive store remained virtually constant for at least 4 min, whereas in the Ins-1,4,5-P3-insensitive Ca2+ store this rate progressively declined with time. These observations are compatible with: (i) an Ins-1,4,5-P3-sensitive store containing relatively few Ca2+ pumps but possessing a relatively high Ca2+ uptake capacity, which may reflect the presence of a substantial amount of Ca2+ binding protein; and (ii) an Ins-1,4,5-P3-insensitive Ca2+ store containing relatively many Ca2+ pumps but possessing a relatively low Ca2+ uptake capacity, which may reflect the presence of little if any Ca2+ binding protein. The data presented are consistent with the idea of a heterogeneous distribution of Ca2+ pumps, Ca2+ binding proteins and Ca2+ release channels between intracellular Ca2+ storage organelles.

Abstract
In many eukaryotic cell types, receptor activation leads to the formation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) which causes calcium ions (Ca) to be released from internal stores. Ca release was observed in response to the muscarinic agonist carbachol by fura-2 imaging of N1E-115 neuroblastoma cells. Ca release followed receptor activation after a latency of 0.4 to 20 s. Latency was not caused by Ca feedback on IP3 receptors, but rather by IP3 accumulation to a threshold for release. The dependence of latency on carbachol dose was fitted to a model in which IP3 synthesis and degradation compete, resulting in gradual accumulation to a threshold level at which Ca release becomes regenerative. This analysis gave degradation rate constants of IP3 in single cells ranging from 0 to 0.284 s-1 (0.058 +/- 0.067 s-1 SD, 53 cells) and a mean IP3 lifetime of 9.2 +/- 2.2 s. IP3 degradation was also measured directly with biochemical methods. This gave a half life of 9 +/- 2 s. The rate of IP3 degradation sets the time frame over which IP3 accumulations are integrated as input signals. IP3 levels are also filtered over time, and on average, large-amplitude oscillations in IP3 in these cells cannot occur with period < 10 s.

Abstract
Intracellular free Ca2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]i) were measured in subclones of NL308 neuroblastoma x fibroblast hybrid cells expressing each of the individual muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) subtypes m1, m2, m3 and m4. Application of 100 microM acetylcholine (ACh) increased [Ca2+]i in all four subclones. The increased [Ca2+]i levels were significantly higher in m1- and m3-transformed cells than those in m2- and m4-transformed cells. In more than 95% of m2- and m4-transformed cells, [Ca2+]i showed sinusoidal oscillations. ACh-induced increases in [Ca2+]i were not observed in cells treated with an intracellular Ca2+ chelator, 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (BAPTA). Removal of extracellular Ca2+ with ethylene-glycol-bis-(beta- aminoethyl)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetate (EGTA) did not affect the initial [Ca2+]i increases, but reduced the late phases of delta [Ca2+]i in ml- and m3-transformed cells by 20-30%. Oscillations in m2- and m4-transformed cells persisted in EGTA solution (though sometimes slowed in frequency), suggesting that they were of intracellular origin. ACh-induced delta [Ca2+]i and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate formation was completely suppressed by pre-treatment with 50-100 ng ml-1 Pertussis toxin (PTX) for 12 h in m2- and m4-transformed cells, but not in m1- and m3-transformed cells. In all cells, extracellular application of caffeine and ryanodine, or intracellular application of cyclic adenosine diphosphate ribose (cAD-PR) produced a rise in [Ca2+]i.

Abstract
Cytosolic Ca2+ waves occur in a number of cell types either spontaneously or after stimulation by hormones, neurotransmitters, or treatments promoting Ca2+ influx into the cells. These waves can be broadly classified into two types. Waves of type 1, observed in cardiac myocytes or Xenopus oocytes, correspond to the propagation of sharp bands of Ca2+ throughout the cell at a rate that is high enough to permit the simultaneous propagation of several fronts in a given cells. Waves of type 2, observed in hepatocytes, endothelial cells, or various kinds of eggs, correspond to the progressive elevation of cytosolic Ca2+ throughout the cell, followed by its quasi-homogeneous return down to basal levels. Here we analyze the propagation of these different types of intracellular Ca2+ waves in a model based on Ca(2+)-induced Ca2+ release (CICR). The model accounts for transient or sustained waves of type 1 or 2, depending on the size of the cell and on the values of the kinetic parameters that measure Ca2+ exchange between the cytosol, the extracellular medium, and intracellular stores. Two versions of the model based on CICR are considered. The first version involves two distinct Ca2+ pools sensitive to inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and Ca2+, respectively, whereas the second version involves a single pool sensitive both to Ca2+ and IP3 behaving as co-agonists for Ca2+ release. Intracellular Ca2+ waves occur in the two versions of the model based on CICR, but fail to propagate in the one-pool model at subthreshold levels of IP3. For waves of type 1, we investigate the effect of the spatial distribution of Ca(2+)-sensitive Ca2+ stores within the cytosol, and show that the wave fails to propagate when the distance between the stores exceeds a critical value on the order of a few microns. We also determine how the period and velocity of the waves are affected by changes in parameters measuring stimulation, Ca2+ influx into the cell, or Ca2+ pumping into the stores. For waves of type 2, the numerical analysis indicates that the best qualitative agreement with experimental observations is obtained for phase waves. Finally, conditions are obtained for the occurrence of "echo" waves that are sometimes observed in the experiments.

Abstract
Patch-clamp whole-cell recording in combination with a phase-sensitive detection method was applied to single, enzymatically isolated, mouse pancreatic acinar cells. Either muscarinic stimulation with a low concentration of ACh (50 nM) or cell infusion of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) induced repetitive spike-like increases of membrane capacitance (delta C), membrane conductance (delta G) and membrane current (delta I). Cellular perfusion of InsP3, 10 microM in patch-pipettes, induced baseline spikes in delta C and delta G, resembling those evoked by ACh. The result indicates that exocytotic granular fusion is primarily triggered by the InsP3-induced repetitive rise of [Ca2+]i. The ACh-induced delta C took off almost synchronously with delta G with an apparent delay of less than 40 ms in the initial spike response. This delay of delta C, however, becomes longer by a factor of 7-12 during repetitive Ca2+ spike cycles. Concomitantly a faster decrease in delta C spikes than delta G spikes was observed during the cycles. Two explanations are proposed. First, the Ca2+ sensitivity of granular fusion decreases during the repetitive Ca2+ spikes. This might be due to gradual washout of low molecular components responsible for exocytosis under the whole-cell recording condition. Second, the pool of immediately releasable or of primed zymogen granules is easily exhausted or desensitized during the Ca2+ spike cycles, and has to be supplied from newly primed or sensitized resources. The progressive delay in delta C during the spike cycle is interpreted as a delay in the process of supplying fusible granules.

Abstract
1. Calcium liberation induced in Xenopus oocytes by flash photorelease of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) from a caged precursor was monitored by confocal microfluorimetry. The object was to determine whether inhibition of Ca2+ release seen with paired flashes arose as a direct consequence of elevated cytosolic free [Ca2+]. 2. Responses evoked by just-suprathreshold test flashes were not inhibited by subthreshold conditioning flashes, but were strongly suppressed when conditioning flashes were raised above threshold. 3. Inhibition at first increased progressively as the inter-flash interval was lengthened to about 2 s and thereafter declined, with a half-recovery at about 4 s. 4. Intracellular injections of Ca2+ caused relatively slight inhibition of InsP3-evoked signals, even when cytosolic free [Ca2+] was elevated to levels similar to those at which strong inhibition was seen in paired-flash experiments. 5. Recovery from inhibition was not appreciably slowed when Ca2+ was injected to raise the free Ca2+ level between paired flashes. 6. We conclude that inhibition of InsP3-evoked Ca2+ liberation is not directly proportional to cytosolic free Ca2+ level and that recovery from inhibition in paired-pulse experiments involves factors other than the decline of cytosolic [Ca2+] following a conditioning response.

Abstract
The effect of the putative inhibitor of phospholipase C activity, U73122, on the Ca2+ sequestering and releasing properties of internal Ca2+ stores was studied in both permeabilized and intact rabbit pancreatic acinar cells. U73122 dose dependently inhibited ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake in the inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate-[Ins(1,4,5)P3]-sensitive, but not the Ins(1,4,5)P3-insensitive, Ca2+ store in acinar cells permeabilized by saponin treatment. In a suspension of intact acinar cells, loaded with the fluorescent Ca2+ indicator, Fura-2, U73122 alone evoked a transient increase in average free cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i,av), which was largely independent of external Ca2+. Addition of U73122 to cell suspensions prestimulated with either cholecystokinin octapeptide or JMV-180 revealed an inverse relationship in size between the U73122- and the agonist-evoked [Ca2+]i,av transient. Moreover, thapsigargin-induced inhibition of intracellular Ca(2+)-ATPase activity resulted in a [Ca2+]i,av transient, the size of which was not different following maximal prestimulation with either U73122 or agonist. These observations suggest that U73122 selectively affects the Ins(1,4,5)P3- casu quo agonist-sensitive internal Ca2+ store, whereas thapsigargin affects both the Ins(1,4,5)P3-sensitive and -insensitive Ca2+ store. Digital-imaging microscopy of Fura-2-loaded acinar cells demonstrated that U73122, in contrast to thapsigargin, evoked sustained oscillatory changes in [Ca2+]i. The U73122-evoked oscillations were abolished in the absence of external Ca2+. The ability of U73122 to generate external Ca(2+)-dependent Ca2+ oscillations suggests that depletion of the agonist-sensitive store leads to an increase in Ca2+ permeability of the plasma membrane and that the Ins(1,4,5)P3-insensitive Ca2+ pool is necessary for the Ca2+ oscillations.

Abstract
Ca2+ is a critical second messenger in virtually all cell types, including the various epithelial cell types within the digestive system. When measured in cell populations, Ca2+ signals usually appear as a single transient or prolonged elevation. In individual epithelial cells, signaling patterns often vary from cell to cell and may contain more complex features such as Ca2+ oscillations. Subcellular Ca2+ signals show a further level of complexity, such as Ca2+ waves, and may relate to the polarized structure and function of epithelial cells. The approaches to detect cytosolic Ca2+ signals, the patterns and mechanisms of Ca2+ signaling, and the role of such signals in regulating the function of polarized epithelium within the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, and liver are reviewed in this report.

Abstract
Stimulation through the antigen receptor (TCR) of T lymphocytes triggers cytosolic calcium ([Ca2+]i) oscillations that are critically dependent on Ca2+ entry across the plasma membrane. We have investigated the roles of Ca2+ influx and depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores in the oscillation mechanism, using single-cell Ca2+ imaging techniques and agents that deplete the stores. Thapsigargin (TG; 5-25 nM), cyclopiazonic acid (CPA; 5-20 microM), and tert-butylhydroquinone (tBHQ; 80-200 microM), inhibitors of endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPases, as well as the Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin (5-40 nM), elicit [Ca2+]i oscillations in human T cells. The oscillation frequency is approximately 5 mHz (for ATPase inhibitors) to approximately 10 mHz (for ionomycin) at 22-24 degrees C. The [Ca2+]i oscillations resemble those evoked by TCR ligation in terms of their shape, amplitude, and an absolute dependence on Ca2+ influx. Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitors and ionomycin induce oscillations only within a narrow range of drug concentrations that are expected to cause partial depletion of intracellular stores. Ca(2+)-induced Ca2+ release does not appear to be significantly involved, as rapid removal of extracellular Ca2+ elicits the same rate of [Ca2+]i decline during the rising and falling phases of the oscillation cycle. Both transmembrane Ca2+ influx and the content of ionomycin-releasable Ca2+ pools fluctuate in oscillating cells. From these data, we propose a model in which [Ca2+]i oscillations in T cells result from the interaction between intracellular Ca2+ stores and depletion-activated Ca2+ channels in the plasma membrane.

Abstract
By utilizing the perforated-patch variant of the whole-cell patch-clamp recording technique, in order to maintain the integrity of the normal cellular buffering systems, we demonstrate that carbachol (CCh) stimulates simultaneous oscillations in a Ca(2+)- and voltage-activated K+ current and a linear Ca(2+)-activated Cl- current in an exocrine avian salt gland cell preparation. Similar conductance changes, although sustained rather than oscillatory, are stimulated by the Ca2+ ionophore A23187. The outward K+ current can be inhibited by tetraethylammonium chloride (TEA) whereas the Cl- current is inhibited by the Cl- channel blockers 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino) (NPPB) and N-phenylanthranilic acid (DPC). The oscillations in current stimulated by CCh are acutely dependent on extracellular Ca2+ and are not affected by the application of low doses of caffeine. In addition, the application of caffeine at all doses fails to mimic the current transients stimulated by CCh. As both caffeine and A23187 are unable to stimulate oscillations under the perforated-patch conditions we suggest that in avian salt gland cells the primary oscillatory mechanism probably involves a one-pool mechanism of Ca2+ release which is intimately related to the activation of a Ca2+ influx pathway.

Abstract
The oscillations in cytosolic Ca2+ evoked in pancreatic exocrine acinar cells by submaximal concentrations of the two phosphoinositidase-coupled agonists acetylcholine (ACh) and cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8) have very different temporal patterns. In the present study we use digital video imaging of Fura-2 fluorescence to map the spatial distribution of Ca2+ during the oscillating responses to these two agonists. The spatial patterns induced are very different for each of these agonists. ACh oscillations are sinusoidal and initiated at the secretory pole of these morphologically and functionally polarized cells. As they spread across the cell, pronounced gradients in Ca2+ develop that persist throughout the oscillating response. CCK-8 induces a series of discrete Ca2+ transients of longer duration and lower frequency. These elevations in Ca2+ arise slowly, throughout the cells and without any detectable gradients in Ca2+. We consider that the different spatiotemporal patterns can be explained on the basis of a physiologically relevant interaction between Ins(1,4,5)P3 and protein kinase C in second messenger-mediated Ca2+ signalling.

Abstract
The pancreatic acinar cells are of particular interest for the study of cytosolic Ca2+ signals, since they are morphologically polarized and generate agonist-specific Ca2+ oscillation patterns. Recent data obtained by combining digital video imaging of Fura-2 fluorescence with patch-clamp whole-cell current recording have provided new information on the spatiotemporal relationships of the cytosolic Ca2+ signals and the Ca(2+)-activated ionic currents. Low agonist concentrations evoke repetitive short-lasting local Ca2+ spikes in the secretory pole region that activate shortlasting current spikes. In the case of acetylcholine stimulation the spikes are confined to this region. When cholecystokinin is used the shortlasting local spikes precede longer Ca2+ transients that spread to the whole of the cell. Infusion of non-metabolizable inositol trisphosphate analogues can mimic these responses. The shortlasting local Ca2+ spikes are particularly sensitive to blockade by the inositol trisphosphate receptor antagonist heparin. These results show that the secretory pole region has a particularly high sensitivity to inositol trisphosphate probably due to clustering of high affinity receptors.

Abstract
The best known calcium waves move at about 5-30 microns/s (at 20 degrees C) and will be called fast waves to distinguish them from slow (contractile) ones which move at 0.1-1 microns/s as well as electrically propagated, ultrafast ones. Fast waves move deep within cells and seem to underlie most calcium signals. Their velocity and hence mechanism has been remarkably conserved among all or almost all eukaryotic cells. In fully active (but not overstimulated) cells of all sorts, their mean speeds lie between about 15-30 microns/s at 20 degrees C. Their amplitudes usually lie between 3-30 microM and their frequencies from one per 10-300 s. They are propagated by a reaction diffusion mechanism governed by the Luther equation in which Ca2+ ions are the only diffusing propagators, and calcium induced calcium release, or CICR, the only reaction; although this reaction traverses various channels which are generally modulated by IP3 or cADPR. However, they may be generally initiated by a second, lumenal mode of CICR which occurs within the ER. Moreover, they are propagated between cells by a variety of mechanisms. Slow intracellular waves, on the other hand, may be mechanically propagated via stretch sensitive calcium channels.

Abstract
In the cells of higher eukaryotic organisms, there are several messenger pathways of intracellular signal transduction, such as the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate/Ca2+ signal, voltage-dependent and -independent Ca2+ channels, adenylate cyclase/cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate, guanylate cyclase/cyclic guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate, diacylglycerol/protein kinase C, and growth factors/tyrosine kinase/tyrosine phosphatase. These pathways are present in different cell types and impinge on each other for the modulation of the cell function. Ca2+ is one of the most ubiquitous intracellular messengers mediating transcellular communication in a wide variety of cell types. Over the last decades it has become clear that the activation of many types of cells is accompanied by an increase in cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) that is thought to play an important part in the sequence of events occurring during cell activation. The Ca2+ signal can be divided into two categories: receptor- and voltage-operated Ca2+ signal. This review describes and integrates some recent views of receptor-operated Ca2+ signaling and crosstalk in the context of stimulus-secretion coupling.

Abstract
Isolated trigeminal ganglion (TRG) neurons of Plotosus in primary culture were studied with patch electrodes in a whole-cell recording configuration. When Ca currents were isolated using electrodes filled with CsCl and Ca buffer in Na- and K-free saline, a large tail current was induced. Both Ca and tail currents were blocked by 2 mM Co2+ in the bath. Reversal potential of the tail current was close to the equilibrium potential for Cl-. The reversal potential was altered by substitution of external Cl- with Br- or methanesulphonate- (MSA-). The anion permeability ratios were estimated as PBr/PCl = 1.95 and PMSA/PCl < 0.05. These results suggested that the tail current was the Ca-gated Cl current. In Plotosus neurons, two types of Ca current, high- and low-voltage activated (HVA and LVA), have been described. Both types of Ca currents were able to induce a tail current. Ba currents through both HVA and LVA channels proved to be ineffective. Upon repetitive activation, the tail current progressively increased in the presence of a nearly constant peak Ca current, and showed a more prolonged complex decay phase. When the electrode was filled with 20 mM EGTA, no tail current was induced, not even after repetitive stimulation. Therefore, the tail current seemed to be regulated by local Ca activity in the vicinity of the membrane. The Ca-gated Cl tail current may regulate the membrane excitability of TRG neurons during repetitive firing.

Abstract
In single cells isolated from guinea-pig ileal smooth muscle, held under voltage clamp at -40 mV or -50 mV by patch pipette in the whole-cell recording mode, carbachol (CCh) evoked an oscillatory inward cationic current. The frequency of current oscillations increased with increasing CCh concentration. CCh-evoked current oscillations were followed very closely by oscillations in intracellular free Ca2+ estimated from the Indo-1 signal, and were abolished by inclusion of EGTA in the pipette solution. Ryanodine and heparin, but not nifedipine, blocked the generation of current oscillations. CCh-evoked current oscillations were abolished upon withdrawal of extracellular calcium and restored upon its reintroduction. Inclusion of GTP[gamma S] in the pipette solution caused the generation of an oscillatory inward current, which was blocked by ryanodine. The present results are consistent with the hypothesis that CCh-evoked cationic current is gated by activation of a G protein and is steeply dependent on [Ca2+]i, fluctuations in the release of Ca2+ from stores during carbachol's action produce oscillations in [Ca2+]i which cause similar oscillations in the cationic current.

Abstract
Agonists trigger Ca2+ waves and oscillations in exocrine gland cells. Our confocal Ca2+ imaging revealed three distinct phases during the Ca2+ waves in the rat pancreatic acinar cell. Rises in Ca2+ concentration were initiated at a small trigger zone, or T zone, in the granular area; then, Ca2+ waves rapidly spread within the area and, at high agonist concentrations, propagated slowly toward the basal pole. Injection of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) or Ca2+ from patch pipettes demonstrated the presence of high sensitivity IP3 receptors at the T zone, Ca(2+)-induced Ca2+ release channels in the granular area, and low sensitivity IP3 receptors in the basal area. The IP3 receptors at the T zone appeared to generate autonomous Ca2+ spikes and to initiate patterned Ca2+ oscillations. Thus, heterogeneous cytosolic localization of Ca2+ release channels plays a key role in Ca2+ waves and oscillations.

Abstract
Submaximal stimulation with agonists generating inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) evokes cytosolic Ca2+ oscillations in many different cell types. In general, each Ca2+ rise is initiated from a specific region near the plasma membrane and then spreads as a wave throughout the cell. We now demonstrate that low (physiological) agonist concentrations evoke local cytosolic Ca2+ spikes in the secretory pole of single mouse pancreatic acinar cells that are particularly sensitive to blockade by the IP3 receptor antagonist heparin. These spikes can occur alone or repetitively or can precede longer lasting Ca2+ signals that spread throughout the cell. Intracellular IP3 application mimics these agonist actions. The short-lasting local Ca2+ spikes provide an economical signaling mechanism and are of physiological significance since they activate Ca(2+)-dependent Cl- and cation currents important for control of fluid secretion.

Abstract
1. The patch-clamp technique of whole-cell current recording was applied to single, enzymatically isolated, rat pancreatic acinar cells to investigate the current responses evoked by internal perfusion of inositol polyphosphates (InsPx). The InsPx were included in the solution filling the recording pipette and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3; 10 microM) evoked transient current responses generally of less than 1 min duration, inositol 2,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(2,4,5)P3; 10 microM) evoked smaller current transients while inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (InsP4; 10 microM) evoked no detectable current response. However, in the presence (in external bathing solution) of the phospholipase A2 inhibitor 4-bromophenacyl bromide (4-BPB; 8 microM) all three of the InsPx now evoked prolonged current responses lasting for several minutes. The current responses to all three InsPx were abolished by inclusion of the Ca2+ chelator EGTA (5 mM) in the internal, pipette-filling solution indicating that the responses are calcium dependent and reflect the effect of the InsPx in increasing intracellular Ca2+. Inositol 1,3,4,5,6-pentophosphate (InsP5) induced no current response when tested up to 20 microM in the presence or absence of 4-BPB. 2. The potentiating effect of 4-BPB on the InsPx-induced current responses was not mimicked by application of arachidonic acid (AA) oxidation inhibitors; indomethacin (20 microM), nordihydroguaiaretic acid (20 microM) or proadifen (SKF525A, 100 microM). The effects of 4-BPB were countered however, by the inclusion of 2 microM AA in the external solution. The results suggest that the 4-BPB potentiates the response by inhibiting the activity of phospholipase A2, thereby reducing the formation of AA. 3. In the presence of 4-BPB (8 microM) the InsPx-evoked responses were dose dependent with an increase in both the amplitude and speed of onset with increasing concentrations. In the presence of 4-BPB InsP4 was as efficient as Ins(1,4,5)P3 both in terms of speed of onset and amplitude of responses; the efficacy and dissociation constant (Kd) for both of these InsPx were the same at 1 microM and 45 nM respectively. Ins(2,4,5)P3 was always less effective, with an efficacy and Kd of 10 microM and 750 nM respectively. 4. If 4-BPB was applied after the current responses evoked by the InsPx were over, or if guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) was included in the recording pipette then the phospholipase inhibitor gave rise to an additional, prolonged, current response.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
In mouse peritoneal macrophages, alpha 1-adrenoceptor stimulation evokes a Ca(2+)-dependent K+ current [Io(Adr)][Hara et al. (1991) Pflügers Arch 419:371-379]. The roles of D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) and a GTP-binding protein (G protein) in Io(Adr) were investigated with tight-seal whole-cell recordings and fura-2 fluorescence measurements. Intracellular injection of InsP3 (5-50 microM) evoked transient outward currents [Io(InsP3)] with or without damped oscillations in membrane currents at -40 mV. Dialysis with 0.2 mM guanosine 5'-[3-thio]triphosphate (GTP[gamma S], a poorly hydrolysable GTP analogue) at -40 mV activated oscillatory outward currents or a slowly developing steady current on which such oscillations were superimposed after a delay of 10-90 s. Io(InsP3) and the GTP[gamma S]-induced current [Io(GTP[gamma S])] were accompanied by an increase in conductance. Reversal potentials of both responses closely depended on the extracellular K+ concentration. Fura-2 measurements revealed that Io(InsP3) and Io(GTP[gamma S]) result from a rise in intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). Removal of extracellular Ca2+ did not abolish Io(InsP3) and Io(GTP[gamma S]). Both were blocked by bath-applied charybdotoxin. Intracellular D-myo-inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate (InsP4, 50 microM) did not evoke any responses, whereas D-myo-inositol 2,4,5-trisphosphate [InsP3(2,4,5), 20 microM] elicited an outward current at -40 mV. Io(InsP3) was completely blocked by prior dialysis with the InsP3 receptor antagonist heparin (5 mg/ml). Inclusion of guanosine 5'-[2-thiol] diphosphate (GDP[beta S], 2 mM) or heparin (5 mg/ml) together with GTP[gamma S] in the patch pipette solution completely blocked Io(GTP[gamma S]). These results indicate that intracellular injection of InsP3 or GTP[gamma S] mimic Io(Adr).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
In this paper we introduce a systematic approach for the modelling of complex biological systems which is especially useful for the analysis of signal transduction mechanisms in cell biology. It is shown that systems analysis in form of top-down levelled dataflow diagrams provides a powerful tool for the mathematical modelling of the system in terms of a stochastic formulation. Due to the exact formulation, the consistency of the model with the experimental results can be tested by means of a computer simulation. The method termed Structured Biological Modelling (SBM) is illustrated by modelling some aspects of the second messenger network which regulates cell proliferation. As an example for the straightforward development of a mathematical description a stochastic computer model for intracellular Ca2+ oscillations is presented.

Abstract
Mechanical stimulation of a single cell in a primary mixed glial cell culture induced a wave of increased intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) that was communicated to surrounding cells. Following propagation of the Ca2+ wave, many cells showed asynchronous oscillations in [Ca2+]i. Dantrolene sodium (10 microM) inhibited the increase in [Ca2+]i associated with this Ca2+ wave by 60-80%, and prevented subsequent Ca2+ oscillations. Despite the markedly decreased magnitude of the increase in [Ca2+]i, the rate of propagation and the extent of communication of the Ca2+ wave were similar to those prior to the addition of dantrolene. Thapsigargin (10 nM to 1 microM) induced an initial increase in [Ca2+]i ranging from 100 nM to 500 nM in all cells that was followed by a recovery of [Ca2+]i to near resting levels in most cells. Transient exposure to thapsigargin for 2 min irreversibly blocked communication of Ca2+ wave from the stimulated cell to adjacent cells. Glutamate (50 microM) induced an initial increase in [Ca2+]i in most cells that was followed by sustained oscillations in [Ca2+]i in some cells. Dantrolene (10 microM) inhibited this initial [Ca2+]i increase caused by glutamate by 65-90% and abolished subsequent oscillations. Thapsigargin (10 nM to 1 micron) abolished the response to glutamate in over 99% of cells. These results suggest that while both dantrolene and thapsigargin inhibit intracellular Ca2+ release, only thapsigargin affects the mechanism that mediates intercellular communication of Ca2+ waves. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that inositol trisphosphate (IP3) mediates the propagation of Ca2+ waves whereas Ca(2+)-induced Ca2+ release amplifies Ca2+ waves and generates subsequent Ca2+ oscillations.

Abstract
Using the double whole-cell recording technique we measured the gap junctional conductance (gj), while simultaneously monitoring the cytoplasmic free calcium concentration ([Ca2+i]) in isolated acinar cell pairs from the pancreas of mouse. Physiological concentrations of the secretagogue cholecystokinin-octapeptide (CCK-OP) elicited [Ca2+i] oscillations and after a delay in the minute range reduced gj. The results provide the first evidence suggesting that gj regulates the phase difference (delta phi) of [Ca2+i] oscillations between neighbouring cells not in an all or none process, but with decreasing absolute value of gj delta phi monotonically increases. CCK-OP induced electrical uncoupling as well as the corresponding increase of delta phi could be blocked completely by the protein kinase C inhibitor polymyxin B. The data support the hypothesis that Ca2+ flow through gap junctions synchronizes [Ca2+i] oscillations between jap junctional coupled cells.

Abstract
1. The ability of cytosolic Ca2+ ions to modulate inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Insp3)-induced Ca2+ liberation from intracellular stores was studied in Xenopus oocytes using light flash photolysis of caged InsP3. Changes in cytosolic free Ca2+ level were effected by inducing Ca2+ entry through ionophore and voltage-gated plasma membrane channels and by injection of Ca2+ through a micropipette. Their effects on Ca2+ liberation were monitored by video imaging of Fluo-3 fluorescence and by voltage clamp recording of Ca(2+)-activated membrane Cl- currents. 2. Treatment of oocytes with the Ca2+ ionophores A23187 and ionomycin caused a transient elevation of cytosolic Ca2+ level when cells were bathed in Ca(2+)-free solution, which probably arose because of release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores. 3. Membrane current and Fluo-3 Ca2+ signals evoked by photoreleased InsP3 in ionophore-treated oocytes were potentiated when the intracellular Ca2+ level was elevated by raising the Ca2+ level in the bathing solution. 4. Responses to photoreleased InsP3 were similarly potentiated following activation of Ca2+ entry through voltage-gated Ca2+ channels expressed in the plasma membrane. 5. Ca(2+)-activated membrane currents evoked by depolarization developed a delayed 'hump' component during sustained photorelease of InsP3, probably because Ca2+ ions entering through the membrane channels triggered liberation of Ca2+ from intracellular stores. 6. Ba2+ and Sr2+ ions were able to substitute for Ca2+ in potentiating InsP3-mediated Ca2+ liberation. 7. Gradual photorelease of InsP3 by weak photolysis light evoked Ca2+ liberation that began at particular foci and then propagated throughout, but not beyond that area of the oocyte exposed to the light. Local elevations of intracellular Ca2+ produced by microinjection of Ca2+ acted as new foci for the initiation of Ca2+ liberation by InsP3. 8. In resting oocytes, intracellular injections of Ca2+ resulted only in localized elevation of intracellular Ca2+, and did not evoke propagating waves. 9. The results show that cytosolic Ca2+ ions potentiate the ability of InsP3 to liberate Ca2+ from intracellular stores. This process may be important for the positive feedback mechanism underlying the generation of Ca2+ spikes and waves, and for interactions between the InsP3 pathway and Ca2+ ions entering cells through voltage- and ligand-gated channels.
