Abstract
Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) is a metabolic disorder, defined when serum or plasma triglyceride concentration (seTG) is >1.7 mM. HTG can be categorized as mild to very severe groups based on the seTG value. The risk of acute pancreatitis (AP), a serious disease with high mortality and without specific therapy, increases with the degree of HTG. Furthermore, even mild or moderate HTG aggravates AP initiated by other important etiological factors, including alcohol or bile stone. This review briefly summarizes the pathophysiology of HTG, the epidemiology of HTG-induced AP and the clinically observed effects of HTG on the outcomes of AP. Our main focus is to discuss the pathophysiological mechanisms linking HTG to AP. HTG is accompanied by an increased serum fatty acid (FA) concentration, and experimental results have demonstrated that these FAs have the most prominent role in causing the consequences of HTG during AP. FAs inhibit mitochondrial complexes in pancreatic acinar cells, induce pathological elevation of intracellular Ca2+ concentration, cytokine release and tissue injury, and reduce the function of pancreatic ducts. Furthermore, high FA concentrations can induce respiratory, kidney, and cardiovascular failure in AP. All these effects may contribute to the observed increased AP severity and frequent organ failure in patients. Importantly, experimental results suggest that the reduction of FA production by lipase inhibitors can open up new therapeutic options of AP. Overall, investigating the pathophysiology of HTG-induced AP or AP in the presence of HTG and determining possible treatments are needed.

Abstract
The lung is a mechanically active organ, but uncontrolled or excessive mechanical forces disrupt normal lung function and can contribute to the development of disease. In asthma, bronchoconstriction leads to airway narrowing and airway wall buckling. A growing body of evidence suggests that pathological mechanical forces induced by airway buckling alone can perpetuate disease processes in asthma. Here, we review the data obtained from a variety of experimental models, including in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo approaches, which have been used to study the impact of mechanical forces in asthma pathogenesis. We review the evidence showing that mechanical compression alters the biological and biophysical properties of the airway epithelium, including activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor pathway, overproduction of asthma-associated mediators, goblet cell hyperplasia, and a phase transition of epithelium from a static jammed phase to a mobile unjammed phase. We also define questions regarding the impact of mechanical forces on the pathology of asthma, with a focus on known triggers of asthma exacerbations such as viral infection.

Abstract
Several deleterious intra-acinar phenomena are simultaneously triggered on initiating acute pancreatitis. These culminate in acinar injury or inflammatory mediator generation in vitro and parenchymal damage in vivo. Supraphysiologic caerulein is one such initiator which simultaneously activates numerous signaling pathways including non-receptor tyrosine kinases such as of the Src family. It also causes a sustained increase in cytosolic calcium- a player thought to be crucial in regulating deleterious phenomena. We have shown Src to be involved in caerulein induced actin remodeling, and caerulein induced changes in the Golgi and post-Golgi trafficking to be involved in trypsinogen activation, which initiates acinar cell injury. However, it remains unclear whether an increase in cytosolic calcium is necessary to initiate acinar injury or if injury can be initiated at basal cytosolic calcium levels by an alternate pathway. To study the interplay between tyrosine kinase signaling and calcium, we treated mouse pancreatic acinar cells with the tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor pervanadate. We studied the effect of the clinically used Src inhibitor Dasatinib (BMS-354825) on pervanadate or caerulein induced changes in Src activation, trypsinogen activation, cell injury, upstream cytosolic calcium, actin and Golgi morphology. Pervanadate, like supraphysiologic caerulein, induced Src activation, redistribution of the F-actin from its normal location in the sub-apical area to the basolateral areas, and caused antegrade fragmentation of the Golgi. These changes, like those induced by supraphysiologic caerulein, were associated with trypsinogen activation and acinar injury, all of which were prevented by Dasatinib. Interestingly, however, pervanadate did not cause an increase in cytosolic calcium, and the caerulein induced increase in cytosolic calcium was not affected by Dasatinib. These findings suggest that intra-acinar deleterious phenomena may be initiated independent of an increase in cytosolic calcium. Other players resulting in acinar injury along with the Src family of tyrosine kinases remain to be explored.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a fatal disease without effective chemopreventive or therapeutic approaches. Although the role of oncogenic Kras in initiating development of PDAC is well established, downstream targets of aberrant Ras signaling are poorly understood. Acinar-ductal metaplasia (ADM) appears to be an important prerequisite for development of pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN), a common precursor to PDAC. RAS-related C3 botulinum substrate 1 (Rac1), which controls actin reorganization, can be activated by Ras, is up-regulated in several human cancers, and is required for cerulein-induced morphologic changes in acini. We investigated effects of loss of Rac1 in Kras-induced pancreatic carcinogenesis in mice. METHODS Using a Cre/lox approach, we deleted Rac1 from pancreatic progenitor cells in different mouse models of PDAC and in mice with cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis. Acinar epithelial explants of mutant mice were used to investigate the role of Rac1 in vitro. RESULTS Rac1 expression increased in mouse and human pancreatic tumors, particularly in the stroma. Deletion of Rac1 in Kras(G12D)-induced PDAC in mice reduced formation of ADM, PanIN, and tumors and significantly prolonged survival. Pancreatic epithelial metaplasia was accompanied by apical-basolateral redistribution of F-actin, along with basal expression of Rac1. Acinar epithelial explants that lacked Rac1 or that were incubated with inhibitors of actin polymerization had a reduced ability to undergo ADM in 3-dimensional cultures. CONCLUSIONS In mice, Rac1 is required for early metaplastic changes and neoplasia-associated actin rearrangements in development of pancreatic cancer. Rac1 might be developed as a diagnostic marker or therapeutic target for PDAC.

Abstract
The Ca(2+)/calmodulin complex interacts with and regulates various enzymes and target proteins known as calmodulin-binding proteins (CaMBPs). This group of proteins includes molecular motors such as myosins. In this study, we show that non-muscle myosin-IIB is overexpressed in the brains of diabetic rats. We isolated CaMBPs from the brains of non-diabetic rats and rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes and purified them by immobilized-calmodulin affinity chromatography. The proteins were eluted with EGTA and urea, separated by SDS-PAGE, digested and submitted to peptide mass fingerprinting analysis. Thirteen intense bands were found in both types of brains, two were found exclusively in non-diabetic brains and four were found exclusively in diabetic brains. A large fraction of the eluted proteins contained putative IQ motifs or calmodulin-binding sites. The results of the myosin-IIB affinity chromatography elution, western blot and RT-PCR analyses suggest that myosin-IIB protein and mRNA are expressed at high levels in diabetic brains. This is the first study that has demonstrated differential expression of CaMBPs in diabetic and non-diabetic brain tissue through a comparative proteomic analysis, and it opens up a new approach to studying the relationship between the expression of myosins in the brain, hyperglycemia and intracellular calcium regulation.

Abstract
The regulated secretion of pancreatic zymogens depends on a functional cytoskeleton and intracellular vesicle transport. To study the dynamics of tubulin and its motor proteins dynein and kinesin during secretion in pancreatic acinar cells, we infused rats with 0.1 mug/kg/h caerulein. Electron and fluorescence microscopy detected neither dynein nor kinesin at the apical secretory pole, nor on the surface of mature zymogen granules. After 30 min of secretagogue stimulation, kinesin and the Golgi marker protein 58 K were reallocated towards the apical plasma membrane and association of kinesin with tubulin was enhanced. Disruption of acinar cell microtubules had no effect on initial caerulein-induced amylase release but completely blocked secretion during a second stimulus. Our results suggest that mature zymogen granule exocytosis is independent of intact microtubules, kinesin and dynein. However, microtubule-dependent mechanisms seem to be important for the replenishment of secretory vesicles by redistribution of Golgi elements towards the apical cell pole.

Abstract
Many studies have implicated F-actin and myosin 2 in the control of regulated secretion. Most recently, evidence suggests a role for the microfilament network in regulating the postfusion events of vesicle dynamics. This is of potential importance as postfusion behavior can influence the loss of vesicle content and may provide a new target for drug therapy. We have investigated the role of myosin 2 in regulating exocytosis in secretory epithelial cells by using novel assays to determine the behavior of the fusion pore in individual granules. We immunolocalize myosin 2A to the apical region of pancreatic acinar cells, suggesting it is this isoform that plays a role in granule exocytosis. We further show myosin 2 phosphorylation increased on cell stimulation, consistent with a regulatory role in secretion. Importantly, in a single-cell, single-granule secretion assay, neither the myosin 2 inhibitor (-)-blebbistatin nor the myosin light chain kinase inhibitor ML-9 had any effect on the numbers of granules stimulated to fuse after cell stimulation. These data indicate that myosin 2, if it has any action on secretion, must be targeting postfusion granule behavior. This interpretation is supported by direct study of fusion pore opening in which we show that (-)-blebbistatin and ML-9 promote fusion pore closure and decrease fusion pore lifetimes. Our work now adds to a growing body of evidence showing that myosin 2 is an essential regulator of postfusion granule behavior. In particular, in the case of the secretory epithelial cells, myosin 2 activity is necessary to maintain fusion pore opening.

Abstract
Twenty-four yearling beef steers (initial BW = 510 +/- 4.9 kg) predominantly of Angus breeding were used in a randomized complete block design to determine the effect of dietary CP concentration on pancreatic cellularity, mass, and alpha-amylase and trypsin activities. Treatment diets were formulated to contain 8.8, 11.0, 13.2, and 15.4% CP. Soybean meal and Top Soy (ruminal bypass soybean meal) were used as supplemental protein sources to ensure that MP intake was increased with increasing dietary CP concentrations. Steers were penned in groups of 4 (1 steer per treatment) and individually fed at 2.5x the NE(m) requirement by using Calan gates for 28 d before tissue collection. Four steers (1 pen) were slaughtered per week. Pancreases were weighed, subsampled, frozen in liquid N(2), and stored at -80 degrees C until analyses for DNA, RNA, and protein concentrations, and alpha-amylase and trypsin activities. Pancreatic weight (g and g/kg of BW) did not differ among treatment groups. Pancreatic DNA concentration (mg/g) decreased linearly (P = 0.06) with increasing CP concentration. Pancreatic protein (g/pancreas) increased linearly (P = 0.08) with increasing dietary CP concentration. Pancreatic alpha-amylase activity (U/g, U/mg of DNA, U/g of protein, U/pancreas, and U/kg of BW) increased linearly (P < or = 0.04) with increasing dietary CP concentration. Pancreatic trypsin activity (U/g, U/g of DNA, U/g of protein, U/pancreas, and U/kg of BW) increased linearly (P < or = 0.09) with increasing dietary CP concentration. Pancreatic alpha-amylase and trypsin activities (U/mg of RNA) responded quadratically (P < or = 0.09), with the greatest alpha-amylase activity observed in the 13.2% CP treatment. These data indicate that increasing dietary CP concentration decreases pancreatic cell numbers and also increases the concentration and content of pancreatic alpha-amylase and trypsin activities. Changes in cell number and size may be important factors regulating digestive enzyme production in the pancreas of cattle.

Abstract
AIMS The proposal of this study was to analyze morphology of the organelles and cytoskeleton in human pancreatic cells cultured and the mobilization of the cytosolic calcium ([Ca2+]c) in response to glucose and ACh by fluorimetry method. MATERIAL AND METHODS The cells were plated on glass coverslips, fixed and stained with a combination of fluorophores: the nuclei were stained with DAPI and mitochondria with Mytotracker Red. It was used phalloidin and the secondary antibodies Alexa Fluor conjugated green and red-fluorescent (488 and 594) to identify the protein cell actin F and type M3 muscarinic receptor respectively. The cells also were loaded with fura-2/AM to study Ca2+ mobilization. RESULTS The human pancreatic cells show characteristics morphologically preserved with great amount of mitochondria. In region major cell density was evidenced pseudo-islets and type M3 muscarinic receptors. Through increase of [Ca2+]c due to action of glucose and ACh were shown that the cells capacity to respond to these stimuli were conserved. The elevation of the [Ca2+]c depended on concentration by glucose-induced promoting sustained phase and ACh-induced a biphasic response. CONCLUSION The morphologic characteristics of human pancreatic cells cultured were preserved. The Ca2+ mobilization in response to glucose and ACh confirmed its functionality. The expression of the M3 muscarinic receptors in human pancreatic cell cultured was demonstrated.

Abstract
In isolated rat pancreatic acini, Src, RhoA, PI3-K, Vav-2, G(alpha12), and G(alpha13) were detected by immunoblotting. CCK enhanced the levels of these proteins, and the levels of Src and RhoA were reduced by the Src inhibitor herbimycin A and the Rho inhibitor pravastatin. The PI3-K inhibitor wortmannin reduced the level of PI3-K. These inhibitors also decreased amylase secretion in CCK-treated pancreatic acini without altering basal secretion. Immunoprecipitation studies indicated that CCK caused Src to associate with Vav-2, RhoA, and PI3-K and RhoA and Src to associate with Vav-2. Ras, RasGAP, and SOS did not coimmunoprecipitate with Vav-2, and RasGAP and SOS did not coimmunoprecipitate with RhoA. CCK also enhanced Vav-2 and RhoA to coimmunoprecipitate with G(alpha13). We conclude that CCK stimulates the recruitment of the Src-RhoA-PI3-K signaling pathway by Vav-2 downstream of G(alpha13) in pancreatic acini.

Abstract
Supramaximal stimulation of isolated pancreatic acini with specific agonists such as CCK induces the formation of large basolateral blebs, redistributes filamentous actin, and inhibits secretion. Rho family small G proteins are well documented for their function in actin reorganization that determines cell shape and have been suggested to play a role in secretion. Here, we determined whether Rho and Rac are involved in the morphological changes, actin redistribution, and inhibition of amylase secretion induced by high concentrations of CCK. Introduction of constitutively active RhoV14 and RacV12 but not Cdc42V12 in mouse pancreatic acini by adenoviral vectors stimulated acinar morphological changes including basolateral protrusions, increased the total amount of F-actin, and reorganized the actin cytoskeleton. Dominant-negative RhoN19, Clostridium botulinum C3 exotoxin, which inhibits Rho, and dominant-negative RacN17 all partially blocked CCK-induced acinar morphological changes and actin redistribution. To study the correlation between actin polymerization and acinar shape changes, two marine toxins were employed. Jasplakinolide, a reagent that facilitates actin polymerization and stabilizes F-actin, stimulated acinar basolateral protrusions, whereas latrunculin, which sequesters actin monomers, blocked CCK-induced acinar blebbing. Unexpectedly, RhoV14, RacV12, and jasplakinolide all increased amylase secretion by CCK from 30 pM to 10 nM. The data suggest that Rho and Rac are involved in CCK-evoked changes in acinar morphology, actin redistribution, and secretion and that inhibition of secretion by high concentrations of CCK is not directly coupled to the changes in acinar morphology.

Abstract
The actin cytoskeleton has long been implicated in protein secretion. We investigated whether Rho and Rac, known regulators of the cytoskeleton, are involved in amylase secretion by mouse pancreatic acini. Secretagogues, including cholecystokinin (CCK) and the acetylcholine analog carbachol, increased the amount of GTP-bound RhoA and Rac1 and induced translocation from cytosol to a membrane fraction. Immunocytochemistry revealed the translocation of Rho and Rac within the apical region of the cell. Expression by means of adenoviral vectors of dominant-negative Rho (RhoN19), dominant-negative Rac (RacN17), and Clostridium Botulinum C3 exotoxin, which ADP ribosylates and inactivates Rho, significantly inhibited amylase secretion by CCK and carbachol; inhibiting both Rho and Rac resulted in a greater reduction. This inhibitory effect of RhoN19 on CCK-induced amylase secretion was apparent in both the early and late phases of secretion, whereas RacN17 was more potent on the late phase of secretion. None of these three affected the basal Ca2+or the peak intracellular Ca2+concentration stimulated by CCK. Latrunculin, a marine toxin that sequesters actin monomers, time-dependently decreased the total amount of filamentous actin (F-actin) and dose-dependently decreased secretion by secretagogues without affecting Ca2+signaling. These data suggest that Rho and Rac are both involved in CCK-induced amylase release in pancreatic acinar cell possibly through an effect on the actin cytoskeleton.

Abstract
We explored a potential structural and functional link between filamentous actin (F-actin) and inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) in mouse pancreatic acinar cells. Using immunocytochemistry, F-actin and type 2 and 3 IP3Rs (IP3R2 and IP3R3) were identified in a cellular compartment immediately beneath the apical plasma membrane. In an effort to demonstrate that IP3R distribution is dependent on an intact F-actin network in the apical subplasmalemmal region, cells were treated with the actin-depolymerising agent latrunculin B. Immunocytochemistry indicated that latrunculin B treatment reduced F-actin in the basolateral subplasmalemmal compartment, and reduced and fractured F-actin in the apical subplasmalemmal compartment. This latrunculin-B-induced loss of F-actin in the apical region coincided with a reduction in IP3R2 and IP3R3, with the remaining IP3Rs localized with the remaining F-actin. Experiments using western blot analysis showed that IP3R3s are resistant to extraction by detergents, which indicates a potential interaction with the cytoskeleton. Latrunculin B treatment in whole-cell patch-clamped cells inhibited Ca2+-dependent Cl– current spikes evoked by inositol (2,4,5)-trisphosphate; this is due to an inhibition of the underlying local Ca2+ signal. Based on these findings, we suggest that IP3Rs form links with F-actin in the apical domain and that these links are essential for the generation of local Ca2+ spikes.

Abstract
The secretion of lung surfactant requires the movement of lamellar bodies to the plasma membrane through cytoskeletal barrier at the cell cortex. We hypothesized that the cortical cytoskeleton undergoes a transient disassembly/reassembly in the stimulated type II cells, therefore allowing lamellar bodies access to the plasma membrane. Stabilization of cytoskeleton with Jasplakinolinde (JAS), a cell permeable actin microfilament stabilizer, caused a dose-dependent inhibition of lung surfactant secretion stimulated by terbutaline. This inhibition was also observed in ATP-, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)- or Ca(2+) ionophore A23187-stimulated surfactant secretion. Stimulation of type II cells with terbutaline exhibited a transient disassembly of filamentous actin (F-actin) as determined by staining with Oregon Green 488 Phalloidin. The protein kinase A inhibitor, H89, abolished the terbutaline-induced F-actin disassembly. Western blot analysis using anti-actin and anti-annexin II antibodies showed a transient increase of G-actin and annexin II in the Triton X-100 soluble fraction of terbutaline-stimulated type II cells. Furthermore, introduction of exogenous annexin II tetramer (AIIt) into permeabilized type II cells caused a disruption in the cortical actin. Treatment of type II cells with N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) resulted in a disruption of the cortical actin. NEM also inhibited annexin II's abilities to bundle F-actin. The results suggest that cytoskeleton undergoes reorganization in the stimulated type II cells, and annexin II tetramer plays a role in this process.

Abstract
Reorganization of F-actin in the apical region of mouse pancreatic acinar cells during Ca(2+)-dependent exocytosis of zymogen granules was investigated by two-photon excitation microscopy with intact acini. Granules were rapidly coated with F-actin in response to either agonist stimulation or photolysis of a caged-Ca(2+) compound. Such F-actin coating occurred exclusively at the surface of granules undergoing exocytosis and was prevented either by latrunculin-A, which inhibits actin polymerization, or by Clostridium botulinum exoenzyme C3, which inhibits the small GTPase Rho. Latrunculin-A or exoenzyme C3 also triggered the formation of vacuoles in acinar cells, a characteristic of acute pancreatitis. Stimulation of acini with high concentrations of cholecystokinin, which cause acute pancreatitis in mice, also impaired the F-actin coating of granules and induced vacuole formation. Latrunculin-A reduced the latency to exocytosis but did not affect the total number of exocytic events, suggesting that F-actin slows and further stabilizes exocytosis by facilitating F-actin coating. Rho-dependent F-actin coating of granule membranes thus stabilizes exocytic structures and is necessary for physiological progression of sequetial compound exocytosis in the exocrine pancreas and for prevention of acute pancreatitis.

Abstract
We have shown that dopamine (DA), an inhibitor of prolactin secretion from anterior pituitary lactotrophs, stabilizes the cortical actin cytoskeleton. DA-induced cortical actin stabilization is accompanied by cytoplasmic actin cable disassembly and cell rounding up. Our aim was to identify the mechanisms involved in DA-induced stabilization of the lactotroph's actin cytoskeleton. Here we show that DA increased the association of myosin II with the cell cortex, suggesting that DA facilitates actin-myosin interaction to stabilize cortical actin filaments. This notion was supported by the finding that inhibitors of actin-myosin interaction blocked DA-evoked morphological responses. In addition, our results showed that DA-induced myosin association with the cell periphery may be mediated by inhibition of Rac1/Cdc42-dependent pathways, whereas, DA-induced cytoplasmic actin filament disassembly may be mediated by the inhibition of MLCK- and RhoA-dependent pathways. In conclusion, the present results provide evidence that myosin II is involved in the DA-induced remodeling of actin filaments in lactotrophs, and that DA-induced cortical actin filament assembly and stabilization involve the translocation of myosin II to the cell cortex. This effect requires, among other things, inhibition of the Rac1/Cdc42-dependent signaling pathway.

Abstract
Apactin is an 80-kDa type I membrane glycoprotein derived from pro-Muclin, a precursor that also gives rise to the zymogen granule protein Muclin. Previous work showed that apactin is efficiently removed from the regulated secretory pathway and targeted to the actin-rich apical plasma membrane of the pancreatic acinar cell. The cytosolic tail (C-Tail) of apactin consists of 16 amino acids, has Thr casein kinase II and Ser protein kinase C phosphorylation sites, and a C-terminal PDZ-binding domain. Secretory stimulation of acinar cells causes a decrease in Thr phosphorylation and an increase in Ser phosphorylation of apactin. Fusion peptides of the C-Tail domain pulldown actin, ezrin, and EBP50/NHERF in a phosphorylation-dependent manner. HIV TAT-C-Tail fusion peptides were used as dominant negative constructs on living pancreatic cells to study effects on the actin cytoskeleton. During secretory stimulation, TAT-C-Tail-Thr/Asp phosphomimetic peptide caused an increase in actin-coated zymogen granules at the apical surface, while TAT-C-Tail-S/D phosphomimetic peptide caused a broadening of the actin cytoskeleton. These data indicate that stimulation-mediated Thr dephosphorylation allows decreased association of apactin with EBP50/NHERF and fosters actin remodeling to coat zymogen granules. Stimulation-mediated Ser phosphorylation increases apactin association with the actin cytoskeleton, maintaining tight bundling of actin microfilaments at the apical surface. Thus, apactin is involved in remodeling the apical cytoskeleton during regulated exocytosis in a manner controlled by phosphorylation of the apactin C-Tail.

Abstract
Rab3D is a low molecular weight GTP-binding protein believed to be involved with regulated secretion in many cell types. In parotid, Rab3D is localized to secretory granule membranes or present in the cytosol as a complex with Rab escort protein. In the present study, we examined the redistribution of membrane-associated Rab3D during secretion in permeabilized parotid acini. When permeabilized acini were stimulated with calcium and cAMP, amylase release increased greater than twofold over basal. Quantitative immunoblotting of subcellular fractions revealed that Rab3D did not dissociate from parotid membranes during secretion. Immunohistochemical staining demonstrated that Rab3D co-localizes with amylase containing granules that are found in the apical pole of the cell. Upon stimulation with calcium and cAMP, Rab3D and amylase immunostaining of granules appeared to be more dispersed. However, Rab3D immunostaining was not observed on the plasma membrane and appeared to reside in the apical cytoplasm. To examine the role of Rab3D in amylase release, cytosolic extracts containing myc-tagged Rab3D and Rab3DQ81L, a GTP-binding mutant, were prepared and incubated with streptolysin O-permeabilized acini. Rab3D, but not Rab3DQ81L, bound to parotid membranes suggesting that Rab3D-binding to parotid membranes is guanine nucleotide-dependent. Moreover, wild-type and mutant Rab3D inhibited agonist-induced amylase release from permeabilized parotid acini. These observations indicate that in parotid acini, Rab3D does not dissociate from parotid membranes or redistribute to the plasma membrane during secretion, and may play an inhibitory role in regulated secretion. The fact that both wild-type Rab3D and the GTP-binding mutant inhibit amylase release suggests that binding of Rab3D to the membrane is not essential for secretory inhibition.

Abstract
In this article, we investigate the contributions of actin filaments and accessory proteins to apical clathrin-mediated endocytosis in primary rabbit lacrimal acini. Confocal fluorescence and electron microscopy revealed that cytochalasin D promoted apical accumulation of clathrin, alpha-adaptin, dynamin, and F-actin and increased the amounts of coated pits and vesicles at the apical plasma membrane. Sorbitol density gradient analysis of membrane compartments showed that cytochalasin D increased [14C]dextran association with apical membranes from stimulated acini, consistent with functional inhibition of apical endocytosis. Recombinant syndapin SH3 domains interacted with lacrimal acinar dynamin, neuronal Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome protein (N-WASP), and synaptojanin; their introduction by electroporation elicited remarkable accumulation of clathrin, accessory proteins, and coated pits at the apical plasma membrane. These SH3 domains also significantly (p </= 0.05) increased F-actin, with substantial colocalization of dynamin and N-WASP with the additional filaments. Coelectroporation with the VCA domain of N-WASP blocked the increase in F-actin and reversed the morphological changes indicative of impaired apical endocytosis. We suggest that transient modulation of actin polymerization by syndapins through activation of the Arp2/3 complex via N-WASP coordinates dynamin-mediated vesicle fission at the apical plasma membrane of acinar epithelia. Trapping of assembled F-actin intermediates during this process by cytochalasin D or syndapin SH3 domains impairs endocytosis.

Abstract
In isolated rat pancreatic acini, protein expression of RhoA and Rho-associated kinase, ROCK-II, and the formation of immunocomplex of RhoA with ROCK-II were enhanced by CCK-8, carbachol, and the phorbol ester TPA. The ROCK-specific inhibitor, Y-27632, did not alter basal amylase secretion, whereas it potentiated CCK-stimulated pancreatic enzyme secretion in vitro. During caerulein-induced pancreatitis occurring in mice in vivo, Y-27632 enhanced serum amylase levels and the formation of interstitial edema and vacuolization at 12-18h after the first injection of caerulein. Y-27632 in turn inhibited the recovery of protein expression of ROCK-II at 18h after the first caerulein injection. These results suggest that RhoA and ROCK-II assemble normal CCK-stimulated pancreatic enzyme secretion and prevent caerulein-induced acute pancreatitis.

Abstract
We describe the actions of 2,3-butanedione monoxime (BDM) on calcium responses in secretory cells. Our studies were prompted by the widespread use of BDM as a myosin-ATPase inhibitor. Application of 10 mM BDM almost completely inhibited agonist-evoked amylase secretion from mouse pancreatic acinar cells. This action might be interpreted as indicating a role for myosin in secretion. However, BDM alone elicited a calcium response in single cells and this calcium signal was sufficient to activate calcium-dependent chloride currents. Furthermore, in some cases, BDM potentiated agonist-evoked calcium signals but almost always blocked agonist-evoked calcium oscillations. These effects of BDM were not due to an action on calcium influx pathways but rather to direct effects on IP(3)-sensitive stores. We conclude that BDM cannot be used for unequivocal identification of the involvement of myosin motors in a cellular response. Further, our evidence suggests that BDM can act directly to modify the opening of IP(3) receptors.

Abstract
Bovine adrenomedullary cells in culture have been used to study the role of myosin in vesicle transport during exocytosis. Amperometric determination of calcium-dependent catecholamine release from individual digitonin-permeabilized cells treated with 3 microM wortmannin or 20 mM 2,3-butanedione monoxime (BDM) and stimulated by continuous as well as repetitive calcium pulses showed alteration of slow phases of secretion when compared with control untreated cells. The specificity of these drugs for myosin inhibition was further supported by the use of peptide-18, a potent peptide affecting myosin light-chain kinase activity. These results were supported also by studying the impact of these myosin inhibitors on chromaffin granule mobility using direct visualization by dynamic confocal microscopy. Wortmannin and BDM affect drastically vesicle transport throughout the cell cytoplasm, including the region beneath the plasma membrane. Immunocytochemical studies demonstrate the presence of myosin types II and V in the cell periphery. The capability of antibodies to myosin II in abrogating the secretory response from populations of digitonin-permeabilized cells compared with the modest effect caused by anti-myosin V suggests that myosin II plays a fundamental role in the active transport of vesicles occurring in the sub-plasmalemmal area during chromaffin cell secretory activity.

Abstract
Continuing progress is being made in understanding the regulation of pancreatic acinar cell function by receptor-activated intracellular signaling mechanisms. Knowledge of how ligands interact at the molecular level with their receptors and activate heterotrimeric G proteins is increasing. In addition to inositol trisphosphate, intracellular messengers include cyclic ADP ribose, nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate, arachidonic acid, and diacylglycerol. Ca signaling involves the interaction of inositol trisphosphate, cyclic ADP ribose, and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate with distinct subcellular Ca stores. Ca signals ultimately induce exocytosis of zymogen granules and identification of the proteins involved on the granule and plasma membrane, and understanding of their roles is continuing. Other receptor-activated signaling pathways primarily regulate nonsecretory events. Considerable progress has been made in understanding how the mammalian target of rapamycin pathway regulates protein synthesis through translation factors and ribosomal proteins. Other pathways in acinar cells include the mitogen-activated protein kinases, the tyrosine kinases, and the transforming growth factor-beta-Smad pathways.

Abstract
EXPERIMENTAL OBJECTIVES Stimulation of low-affinity CCK-1 receptors on pancreatic acini leads to inhibition of enzyme secretion. We studied signal transduction mechanisms to identify potential causes for the reduced secretion. RESULTS Co-stimulation experiments with CCK, CCK-JMV-180, and bombesin revealed an inhibition of bombesin-stimulated enzyme secretion by low-affinity CCK-1 receptors. Binding of 125I-gastrin-releasing peptide (the mammalian analogue of bombesin) to acini after CCK preincubation was not altered. After a short preincubation of acini with high concentrations of CCK, intracellular calcium remained responsive to bombesin. In contrast to bombesin or CCK at concentrations of 10(-10) M or lower, high concentrations of CCK caused a strong activation of p125 focal adhesion kinase (p125(FAK)) and a marked reorganisation of the actin cytoskeleton. CONCLUSIONS Inhibitory mechanisms triggered by low-affinity CCK-1 receptors interrupt enzyme secretion from pancreatic acini at late stages in the signal transduction cascades since bombesin receptor binding and early signalling events remained intact after CCK preincubation. A reorganisation of the actin cytoskeleton is suggested to be the mechanism by which low-affinity CCK-1 receptors actively interrupt enzyme secretion stimulated by other receptors.

Abstract
The Drosophila tumor suppressor protein lethal (2) giant larvae [l(2)gl] is involved in the establishment of epithelial cell polarity during development. Recently, a yeast homolog of the protein has been shown to interact with components of the post-Golgi exocytic machinery and to regulate a late step in protein secretion. Herein, we characterize a mammalian homolog of l(2)gl, called Mlgl, in the epithelial cell line Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK). Consistent with a role in cell polarity, Mlgl redistributes from a cytoplasmic localization to the lateral membrane after contact-naive MDCK cells make cell-cell contacts and establish a polarized phenotype. Phosphorylation within a highly conserved region of Mlgl is required to restrict the protein to the lateral domain, because a recombinant phospho-mutant is distributed in a nonpolar manner. Membrane-bound Mlgl from MDCK cell lysates was coimmunoprecipitated with syntaxin 4, a component of the exocytic machinery at the basolateral membrane, but not with other plasma membrane soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment receptor (SNARE) proteins that are either absent from or not restricted to the basolateral membrane domain. These data suggest that Mlgl contributes to apico-basolateral polarity by regulating basolateral exocytosis.

Abstract
CRHSP-28 is a Ca(2+)-regulated heat-stable phosphoprotein, abundant in the apical cytoplasm of epithelial cells that are specialized in exocrine protein secretion. To define a functional role for the protein in pancreatic secretion, recombinant CRHSP-28 (rCRHSP-28) was introduced into streptolysin-O-permeabilized acinar cells, and amylase secretion in response to elevated Ca(2+) was determined. Secretion was enhanced markedly by rCRHSP-28 over a time course that closely corresponded with the loss of the native protein from the intracellular compartment. No effects of rCRHSP-28 were detected until approximately 50% of the native protein was lost from the cytosol. Secretion was enhanced by rCRHSP-28 over a physiological range of Ca(2+) concentrations with 2-3-fold increases in amylase release occurring in response to low micromolar levels of free Ca(2+). Further, rCRHSP-28 augmented secretion in a concentration-dependent manner with minimal and maximal effects occurring at 1 and 25 microg/ml, respectively. Covalent cross-linking experiments demonstrated that native CRHSP-28 was present in a 60-kDa complex in cytosolic fractions and in a high molecular mass complex in particulate fractions, consistent with the slow leak rate of the protein from streptolysin-O-permeabilized cells. Probing acinar lysates with rCRHSP-28 in a gel-overlay assay identified two CRHSP-28-binding proteins of 35 (pp35) and 70 kDa (pp70). Interestingly, preparation of lysates in the presence of 1 mm Ca(2+) resulted in a marked redistribution of both proteins from a cytosolic to a Triton X-100-insoluble fraction, suggesting a Ca(2+)-sensitive interaction of these proteins with the acinar cell cytoskeleton. In agreement with our previous study immunohistochemically localizing CRHSP-28 around secretory granules in acinar cells, gel-overlay analysis revealed pp70 copurified with acinar cell secretory granule membranes. These findings demonstrate an important cell physiological function for CRHSP-28 in the Ca(2+)-regulated secretory pathway of acinar cells.

Abstract
The intracellular signaling mechanisms by which cholecystokinin (CCK) and other secretagogues regulate pancreatic acinar function are more complex than originally realized. CCK couples through heterotrimeric G proteins of the Gq family to lead to an increase in intracellular free Ca2+, which shows spatial and temporal patterns of signaling. The actions of Ca2+ are mediated in part by activation of a number of Ca2+-activated protein kinases and the protein phosphatase calcineurin. By the process of exocytosis the intracellular messengers Ca2+, diacylglycerol, and cAMP activate the release of the zymogen granule content in a manner that is poorly understood. This fusion event most likely involves SNARE and Rab proteins present on zymogen granules and cellular membrane domains. More likely related to nonsecretory aspects of cell function, CCK also activates three MAPK cascades leading to activation of ERKs, JNKs, and p38 MAPK. Although the function of these pathways is not well understood, ERKs are probably related to cell growth, and through phosphorylation of hsp27, p38 can affect the actin cytoskeleton. The PI3K (phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase)-mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) pathway is important for regulation of acinar cell protein synthesis because it leads to both activation of p70S6K and regulation of the availability of eIF4E in response to CCK. CCK also activates a number of tyrosyl phosphorylation events including that of p125FAK and other proteins associated with focal adhesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The present study was undertaken to evaluate the role of serine proteases in regulating digestive enzyme secretion in pancreatic acinar cells. METHODS Isolated acini were stimulated by various secretagogues in the presence or absence of cell-permeant serine protease inhibitors 4-(2-aminoethyl)-benzenesulfonyl fluoride and N(alpha)-p-tosyl-L-phenylalanine chloromethyl ketone. F-actin distribution was studied after staining with rhodamine phalloidin. RESULTS Both cell-permeant serine protease inhibitors blocked amylase secretion in response to secretagogues that use calcium as a second messenger (e.g., cerulein, carbamylcholine, and bombesin) but not to those that use adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) as a second messenger (e.g., secretin and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide). Incubation of the acini with these inhibitors also resulted in a dramatic redistribution of the F-actin cytoskeleton. This redistribution was energy dependent. Similar redistribution of F-actin from the apical to the basolateral region was also observed when acini were incubated with a supramaximally stimulating concentration of cerulein, which is known to inhibit secretion. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that a serine protease activity is essential for maintaining the normal apical F-actin distribution; its inhibition redistributes F-actin from the apical to the basolateral region and blocks secretion induced by secretagogues that act via calcium. cAMP reverses the F-actin redistribution and hence cAMP-mediated secretion is not affected.
