Abstract
Secretory granules (SGs) sequester significant calcium. Understanding roles for this calcium and potential mechanisms of release is hampered by the difficulty of measuring SG calcium directly in living cells. We adapted the Förster resonance energy transfer-based D1-endoplasmic reticulum (ER) probe to develop a unique probe (D1-SG) to measure calcium and pH in secretory granules. It significantly localizes to SGs and reports resting free Ca(2+) of 69 ± 15 μM and a pH of 5.8. Application of extracellular ATP to activate P2Y receptors resulted in a slow monotonic decrease in SG Ca(2+) temporally correlated with the occurrence of store-operated calcium entry (SOCE). Further investigation revealed a unique receptor-mediated mechanism of calcium release from SGs that involves SG store-operated Orai channels activated by their regulator stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) on the ER. SG Ca(2+) release is completely antagonized by a SOCE antagonist, by switching to Ca(2+)-free medium, and by overexpression of a dominant-negative Orai1(E106A). Overexpression of the CRAC activation domain (CAD) of STIM1 resulted in a decrease of resting SG Ca(2+) by ∼75% and completely abolished the ATP-mediated release of Ca(2+) from SGs. Overexpression of a dominant-negative CAD construct(CAD-A376K) induced no significant changes in SG Ca(2+). Colocalization analysis suggests that, like the plasma membrane, SG membranes also possess Orai1 channels and that during SG Ca(2+) release, colocalization between SGs and STIM1 increases. We propose Orai channel opening on SG membranes as a potential mode of calcium release from SGs that may serve to raise local cytoplasmic calcium concentrations and aid in refilling intracellular calcium stores of the ER and exocytosis.

Abstract
In rat pancreatic β cells, arachidonic acid (AA) triggered intracellular Ca(2+) release. This effect could be mimicked by eicosatetraynoic acid, indicating that AA metabolism is not required. The AA-mediated Ca(2+) signal was not affected by inhibition of ryanodine receptors or emptying of ryanodine-sensitive store but was reduced by ∼70% following the disruption of acidic stores (treatment with bafilomycin A1 or glycyl-phenylalanyl-β-naphthylamide (GPN)). The action of AA did not involve TRPM2 channels or NAADP receptors because intracellular dialysis of adenosine diphosphoribose (ADPR; an activator of TRPM2 channels) or NAADP did not affect the AA response. In contrast, stimulation of IP(3) receptors via intracellular dialysis of adenophostin A, or exogenous application of ATP largely abolished the AA-mediated Ca(2+) signal. Intracellular dialysis of heparin abolished the ATP-mediated Ca(2+) signal but not the AA response, suggesting that the action of AA did not involve the IP(3)-binding site. Treatment with the SERCA pump inhibitor, thapsigargin, reduced the amplitude of the AA-mediated Ca(2+) signal by ∼70%. Overall, our finding suggests that AA mobilizes Ca(2+) from the endoplasmic reticulum as well as an acidic store and both stores could be depleted by IP(3) receptor agonist. The possibility of secretory granules as targets of AA is discussed.

Abstract
A thin layer of airway surface liquid (ASL) lines the entire surface of the lung and is the first point of contact between the lung and the environment. Surfactants contained within this layer are secreted in the alveolar region and are required to maintain a low surface tension and to prevent alveolar collapse. Mucins are secreted into the ASL throughout the respiratory tract and serve to intercept inhaled pathogens, allergens and toxins. Their removal by mucociliary clearance (MCC) is facilitated by cilia beating and hydration of the ASL by active ion transport. Throughout the lung, secretion, ion transport and cilia beating are under purinergic control. Pulmonary epithelia release ATP into the ASL which acts in an autocrine fashion on P2Y(2) (ATP) receptors. The enzymatic network describes in Chap. 2 then mounts a secondary wave of signaling by surface conversion of ATP into adenosine (ADO), which induces A(2B) (ADO) receptor-mediated responses. This chapter offers a comprehensive description of MCC and the extensive ramifications of the purinergic signaling network on pulmonary surfaces.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The gliotransmitters released from astrocytes are deemed to play key roles in the glial cell-neuron communication for normal function of the brain. The gliotransmitters, such as glutamate, ATP, D-serine, neuropeptide Y, are stored in vesicles of astrocytes and secreted following the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)-induced intracellular Ca2+ releases. Yet studies on the identity of the IP3-dependent intracellular Ca2+ stores remain virtually unexplored. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We have therefore studied the potential existence of the IP3-sensitive intracellular Ca2+ stores in the cytoplasm of astrocytes using human brain tissue samples in contrast to cultured astrocytes that had primarily been used in the past. It was thus found that secretory granule marker proteins chromogranins and secretogranin II localize in the large dense core vesicles of astrocytes, thereby confirming the large dense core vesicles as bona fide secretory granules. Moreover, consistent with the major IP3-dependent intracellular Ca2+ store role of secretory granules in secretory cells, secretory granules of astrocytes also contained all three (types 1, 2, and 3) IP3R isoforms. SIGNIFICANCE Given that the secretory granule marker proteins chromogranins and secretogranin II are high-capacity, low-affinity Ca2+ storage proteins and chromogranins interact with the IP3Rs to activate the IP3R/Ca2+ channels, i.e., increase both the mean open time and the open probability of the channels, these results imply that secretory granules of astrocytes function as the IP3-sensitive intracellular Ca2+ store.

Abstract
Given the importance of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP(3)R)/Ca(2+) channels in the control of intracellular Ca(2+) concentrations, we determined the relative concentrations of the IP(3)R isoforms in subcellular organelles, based on serially sectioned electron micrographs. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) was estimated to contain 15-20% of each of the three IP(3)R isoforms while secretory granules contained 58-69%. The nucleus contained approximately 15% each of IP(3)R-1 and -2, but 25% of IP(3)R-3, whereas the plasma membrane contained approximately 1% or less of each. These suggested that secretory granules, the nucleus and ER are at the center of IP(3)-dependent intracellular Ca(2+) control mechanisms in chromaffin cells.

Abstract
Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) regulates glucose homeostasis and high-fat diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance. Therefore, elucidating the mechanisms that regulate GIP release is important. GIP is produced by K cells, a specific subtype of small intestinal enteroendocrine (EE) cell. Bombesin-like peptides produced by enteric neurons and luminal nutrients stimulate GIP release in vivo. We previously showed that PMA, bombesin, meat hydrolysate, glyceraldehyde, and methylpyruvate increase hormone release from a GIP-producing EE cell line (GIP/Ins cells). Here we demonstrate that bombesin and nutrients additively stimulate hormone release from GIP/Ins cells. In various cell systems, bombesin and PMA regulate cell physiology by activating PKD signaling in a PKC-dependent fashion, whereas nutrients regulate cell physiology by inhibiting AMPK signaling. Western blot analyses of GIP/Ins cells using antibodies specific for activated and/or phosphorylated forms of PKD and AMPK and one substrate for each kinase revealed that bombesin and PMA, but not nutrients, activated PKC, but not PKD. Conversely, nutrients, but not bombesin or PMA, inhibited AMPK activity. Pharmacological studies showed that PKC inhibition blocked bombesin- and PMA-stimulated hormone release, but AMPK activation failed to suppress nutrient-stimulated hormone secretion. Forced expression of constitutively active vs. dominant negative PKDs or AMPKs failed to perturb bombesin- or nutrient-stimulated hormone release. Thus, in GIP/Ins cells, PKC regulates bombesin-stimulated hormone release, whereas nutrients may control hormone release by regulating the activity of AMPK-related kinases, rather than AMPK itself. These results strongly suggest that K cells in vivo independently respond to neuronal vs. nutritional stimuli via two distinct signaling pathways.

Abstract
Enteroendocrine cells are a complex population of intestinal epithelial cells whose hormones play critical roles in regulating gastrointestinal and whole-animal physiology. There are many subpopulations of enteroendocrine cells based on the major hormone(s) produced by individual cells. Intracellular calcium plays a critical role in regulating hormone release. Inositol 1,4,5-trisphophate (IP3) receptors regulate calcium mobilization from endoplasmic reticulum-derived calcium stores in many endocrine and excitatory cells and are expressed in the intestine. However, the specific subtypes of enteroendocrine cells that express these receptors have not been reported. Immunohistochemical (IHC) studies revealed that enteroendocrine cells did not express detectable levels of type 2 IP3 receptors, whereas nearly all enteroendocrine cells that produced chromogranin A and/or serotonin expressed type 1 and type 3 IP3 receptors. Conversely, enteroendocrine cells that produced glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide, glucagon-like peptide-1, cholecystokinin, or somatostatin did not express detectable levels of any IP3 receptors. Subsets of enteroendocrine cells that produced substance P or secretin expressed type 1 (33% or 18%, respectively) and type 3 (10% or 62%, respectively) IP3 receptors. Thus, different subtypes of enteroendocrine cells, as well as individual cells that express a particular hormone, exhibit remarkable heterogeneity in the molecular machineries that regulate hormone release in vivo. These results suggest that therapeutic agents can be developed that could potentially inhibit or promote secretion of hormones from specific subtypes of enteroendocrine cells.

Abstract
Although the inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP(3))-induced nuclear Ca(2+) release has been shown to play key roles in nuclear functions, the presence of IP(3) receptor (IP(3)R)/Ca(2+) channels in the nucleoplasm has not been found. Recently, the IP(3)R/Ca(2+) channels were reported to exist in the nucleoplasmic reticulum structure, an extension of the nuclear envelope. Here we investigated the potential existence of the IP(3)Rs in the nucleoplasm and found the presence of all three IP(3)R isoforms in neuroendocrine and non-neuroendocrine cells. The IP(3)Rs were widely scattered in the nucleoplasm, localizing in both the heterochromatin and euchromatin regions.

Abstract
K cells are a subpopulation of enteroendocrine cells that secrete glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), a hormone that promotes glucose homeostasis and obesity. Therefore, it is important to understand how GIP secretion is regulated. GIP-producing (GIP/Ins) cell lines secreted hormones in response to many GIP secretagogues except glucose. In contrast, glyceraldehyde and methyl pyruvate stimulated hormone release. Measurements of intracellular glucose 6-phosphate, fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, and pyruvate levels, as well as glycolytic flux, in glucose-stimulated GIP/Ins cells indicated that glycolysis was not impaired. Analogous results were obtained using glucose-responsive MIN6 insulinoma cells. Citrate levels increased similarly in glucose-treated MIN6 and GIP/Ins cells. Thus pyruvate entered the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Glucose and methyl pyruvate stimulated 1.4- and 1.6-fold increases, respectively, in the ATP-to-ADP ratio in GIP/Ins cells. Glyceraldehyde profoundly reduced, rather than increased, ATP/ADP. Thus nutrient-regulated secretion is independent of the ATP-dependent potassium (K(ATP)) channel. Antibody staining of mouse intestine demonstrated that enteroendocrine cells producing GIP, glucagon-like peptide-1, CCK, or somatostatin do not express detectable levels of inwardly rectifying potassium (Kir) 6.1 or Kir 6.2, indicating that release of these hormones in vivo may also be K(ATP) channel independent. Conversely, nearly all cells expressing chromogranin A or substance P and approximately 50% of the cells expressing secretin or serotonin exhibited Kir 6.2 staining. Compounds that activate calcium mobilization were potent secretagogues for GIP/Ins cells. Secretion was only partially inhibited by verapamil, suggesting that calcium mobilization from intracellular and extracellular sources, independent from K(ATP) channels, regulates secretion from some, but not all, subpopulations of enteroendocrine cells.

Abstract
Secretory granules of neuroendocrine cells are inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP(3))-sensitive Ca(2+) stores in which the Ca(2+) storage protein, chromogranin A (CGA), couples with InsP(3)-gated Ca(2+) channels (InsP(3)R) located in the granule membrane. The functional aspect of this coupling has been investigated via release studies and planar lipid bilayer experiments in the presence and absence of CGA. CGA drastically increased the release activity of the InsP(3)R by increasing the channel open probability by 9-fold and the mean open time by 12-fold. Our results show that CGA-coupled InsP(3)Rs are more sensitive to activation than uncoupled receptors. This modulation of InsP(3)R channel activity by CGA appears to be an essential component in the control of intracellular Ca(2+) concentration by secretory granules and may regulate the rate of vesicle fusion and exocytosis.

Abstract
This study investigated the effect of tricyclic and atypical antidepressants on adenosine triphosphate (ATP) dependent calcium uptake by the endoplasmic reticulum of lysed synaptosomes from rat brain cortex. Tricyclic antidepressants (imipramine, desipramine, clomipramine, amitriptyline) exhibited no effect in the lower range (0.06 to 2 µM) of drug concentrations, and a concentration-dependent inhibition of calcium uptake in the upper range (6 to 200 µM). A concentration-dependent inhibition was observed for atypical antidepressants (mianserin, desmethylmianserin, venlafaxine, desmethylvenlafaxine, fluoxetine) in both the lower and the upper range of drug concentrations. Since no stimulation of calcium uptake was observed in either concentration range, it appears that the tricyclic and atypical antidepressants tested are not capable of normalizing, through their effect on the endoplasmic reticulum, an overactive calcium signal, which is possibly implicated in the etiology of affective disorders. Also, although only marginal inhibition of calcium uptake is expected at brain concentrations of tricyclics and mianserindesmethylmianserin that are likely to be encountered during clinical use, a more substantial inhibition could occur with fluoxetine.Key words: adenosine triphosphate-dependent calcium uptake, neuronal endoplasmic reticulum, lysed brain synaptosomes, tricyclic antidepressants, atypical antidepressants.

Abstract
Fluorescent Ca2+ probes and digital photo-sectioning techniques were used to directly study the dynamics of Ca2+ in isolated mast cell granules of normal (CB/J) and beige (Bg(j)/Bg(j)) mice. The resting intraluminal free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]L) is 25 +/- 4.2 microM (mean +/- SD, n = 68). Exposure to 3 microM inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) induced periodic oscillations of luminal Ca2+ ([Ca2+]L) of approximately 10 microM amplitude and a period around 8-10 s. The [Ca2+]L oscillations were accompanied by a corresponding oscillatory release of [Ca2+]L to the extraluminal space. Control experiments using ruthenium red (2 microM) and thapsigargin (100 nM) ruled out artifacts derived from the eventual presence of mitochondria or endoplasmic reticulum in the isolated granule preparation. Oscillations of [Ca2+]L and Ca2+ release result from a Ca2+/K+ exchange process whereby bound Ca is displaced from the heparin polyanionic matrix by inflow of K+ into the granular lumen via an apamin-sensitive Ca2+-sensitive K+ channel (ASK(Ca)), whereas Ca2+ release takes place via an InsP3-receptor-Ca2+ (InsP3-R) channel. These results are consistent with previous observations of [Ca2+]L oscillations and release in/from the endoplasmic reticulum and mucin granules, and suggest that a highly conserved common mechanism might be responsible for [Ca2+]L oscillations and quantal periodic Ca2+ release in/from intracellular Ca2+ storage compartments.

Abstract
Acid secretion in isolated rabbit gastric glands was monitored by the accumulation of [(14)C]aminopyrine. Stimulation of the glands with carbachol synergistically augmented the response to dibutyryl cAMP. The augmentation persisted even after carbachol was washed out and was resistant to chelated extracellular Ca(2+) and to inhibitors of either protein kinase C or calmodulin kinase II. Cytochalasin D at 10 microM preferentially blocked the secretory effect of carbachol and its synergism with cAMP, whereas it had no effect on histamine- or cAMP-stimulated acid secretion within 15 min. Cytochalasin D inhibited the carbachol-stimulated intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) increase due to release from the Ca(2+) store. Treatment of the glands with cytochalasin D redistributed type 3 inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (the major subtype in the parietal cell) from the fraction containing membranes of large size to the microsomal fraction, suggesting a dissociation of the store from the plasma membrane. These findings suggest that intracellular Ca(2+) release by cholinergic stimulation is critical for determining synergism with cAMP in parietal cell activation and that functional coupling between the Ca(2+) store and the receptor is maintained by actin microfilaments.

Abstract
The secretory granules of neuroendocrine cells, which function as an inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate-sensitive intracellular Ca2+ store, contain both the inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate receptor/Ca2+ channel and the high-capacity low-affinity Ca2+ storage proteins, chromogranins A and B. Chromogranins A and B, which exist in approximately 2 mm range in the secretory granules, can bind 50-100 mol of Ca2+/mol with dissociation constants of 2-4 mm. These proteins interact directly with the inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate receptor/ Ca2+ channel at the intragranular pH 5.5, not only changing the conformation of the inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate receptor/Ca2+ channel but also modulating the channel activity. Given the homo- and heterotetrameric existence of both the inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate receptor/Ca2+ channel and chromogranins A and B, these tetrameric proteins appear to interact, thus controlling the intracellular Ca2+ concentration.

Abstract
Pollen tubes grown in vitro require an intracellular tip-high gradient of Ca2+ in order to elongate. Moreover, after about 2 h in vitro both the tip Ca2+ and the elongation rate of lily tubes begin to oscillate regularly with large amplitudes. This raises the question of the phase relation between these two oscillations. Previous studies lacked the temporal resolution to accurately establish this relationship. We have studied these oscillations with a newly developed, high temporal resolution system and the complementary use of both luminescent and fluorescent calcium reporters. We hereby show that the periodic increases in elongation rate during oscillatory growth of Lilium longiflorum pollen tubes clearly precede those in subtip calcium and do so by 4.1 +/- 0.2 s out of average periods of 38.7 +/- 1.8 s. Also, by collecting images of the light output of aequorin, we find that the magnitude of the [Ca2+] at the tip oscillates between 3 and 10 microM, which is considerably greater than that reported by fluorescent indicators. We propose an explanatory model that features cyclic growth and secretion in which growth oscillations give rise to secretion that is essential for the subsequent growth oscillation. We also critically compile data on L. longiflorum stylar growth rates, which show little variation from in vitro rates of pollen tubes grown in optimal medium.

Abstract
The secretory granules of neuroendocrine cells, which contain large amounts of Ca(2+) and chromogranins, have been demonstrated to release Ca(2+) in response to inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)), indicating the IP(3)-sensitive intracellular Ca(2+) store role of secretory granules. In our previous study, chromogranin A (CGA) was shown to interact with several secretory granule membrane proteins, including the IP(3) receptor (IP(3)R), at the intravesicular pH 5.5 (Yoo, S. H. (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 12001-12006). To examine the functional aspect of this coupling, we measured the IP(3)-mediated Ca(2+) release property of the IP(3)R reconstituted into liposomes in the presence and absence of CGA. Presence of CGA in the IP(3)R-reconstituted liposome significantly enhanced the IP(3)-mediated Ca(2+) release from the liposomes. Moreover, the number of IP(3) bound to the reconstituted IP(3)R increased. The fluorescence energy transfer and IP(3)R Trp fluorescence quenching studies indicated that the structure of reconstituted IP(3)R becomes more ordered and exposed in the presence of CGA, suggesting that the coupled CGA in the liposome caused structural changes of the IP(3)R, changing it to a structure that is better suited to IP(3) binding and subsequent Ca(2+) release. These results appear to underscore the physiological significance of IP(3)R-CGA coupling in the secretory granules.

Abstract
Bronchial glands, which consist of mucous and serous cells, are abundant in human airways, playing a major role in the airway secretion. Cl(-) secretion is accompanied by water transport to the lumen in the acinar cells of bronchial glands. Agonists that increase [Ca(2+)]i induce the Cl(-) secretion in bronchial glands. Ca(2+) release from a IP(3)-sensitive Ca(2+) pool at the apical portion stimulates and opens Ca(2+)-sensitive Cl(-) channels at the apical membrane, producing Cl(-) secretion in bronchial glands. K(+) channels at the basolateral membranes are Ca(2+)-sensitive and activated by Ca(2+) release from a cADPribose-sensitive Ca(2+) pool, maintaining the Cl(-) secretion in bronchial glands. Further, cADP ribose in concert with IP(3) induce [Ca(2+)]i oscillation, inducing Cl(-) secretion in bronchial glands. Some tyrosine kinases are involved in the Cl(-) secretion in bronchial glands. Mucous and serous cells in bronchial glands take part in mucin secretion and the secretion of defensive substances (glycoconjugates), respectively. [Ca(2+)]i oscillations are shown to play a central role in the exocytosis of secretory granules in serous cells of bronchial glands. Other signal transductions of mucin and glycoconjugates in airway gland cells remain to be studied, although agonists which increase [cAMP]i are also well known to induce mucin and glycoconjugate secretion from airway glands.

Abstract
The secretory granules of neuroendocrine cells which contain large amounts of Ca(2+) and chromogranins have been demonstrated to release Ca(2+) in response to inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)). Moreover, chromogranin A (CGA) has been shown to interact with several secretory granule membrane proteins, including the IP(3) receptor (IP(3)R). To determine whether the IP(3)Rs interact directly with chromogranins A and B (CGB), two major proteins of the secretory granules, we have used purified IP(3)R from bovine cerebellum in the interaction study with CGA and CGB, and have shown that chromogranins A and B directly interact with the IP(3)R at the intravesicular pH 5.5. Immunogold cytochemical study using the IP(3)R and CGA antibodies indicated that IP(3)R-labeled gold particles were localized in the periphery of the secretory granules, indicating the presence of the IP(3)Rs on the secretory granule membrane. To determine whether the IP(3)R and chromogranins A and B are physically linked in the cells, bovine type 1 IP(3)R (IP(3)R-1) and CGA or CGB are co-transfected into COS-7 cells and co-immunoprecipitation was carried out. Immunoprecipitation of the cell extracts demonstrated the presence of CGA-IP(3)R-1 and CGB-IP(3)R-1 complexes, respectively, indicating the complex formation between the IP(3)R and chromogranins A and B in native state.

Abstract
Neuropeptides and hormones, in contrast to constitutive secretory proteins, are sorted to and stored in secretory granules and released upon a stimulus. During the last two decades, signals and mechanisms involved in their sorting to the regulated pathway of protein secretion have been addressed in numerous studies. Taken together these studies revealed three important features of regulated secretory proteins: aggregation, sorting signal motifs and membrane binding. Here we try to dissect the sorting process with regard to these features and discuss their relevance in the context of current sorting models. We especially address the question where in the secretory pathway sorting takes place and discuss a possible role of sorting receptors.

Abstract
Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) activates receptors (InsP3Rs) that mediate intracellular Ca(2+ )release, thereby modulating intracellular calcium signals and regulating important aspects of cellular physiology and gene expression. To further our understanding of InsP3Rs we have characterised InsP3Rs and the InsP3R gene, itr-1, from the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans. cDNAs encoding InsP3Rs were cloned enabling us to: (a) identify three putative transcription start sites that result in alternative mRNA 5' ends: (b) detect alternative splicing at three sites and: (c) determine the full genomic organisation of the itr-1 gene. The InsP3R protein (ITR-1) is approximately 42 % identical with known InsP3Rs and possesses conserved structural features. When the putative InsP3 binding domain was expressed in Escherichia coli, specific binding of InsP3 was detected. Using antibodies against ITR-1 we detected a protein of 220 kDa in C. elegans membranes. These antibodies and itr-1::GFP (green fluorescent protein) reporter constructs were used to determine the expression pattern of itr-1 in C. elegans. Strong expression was observed in the intestine, pharynx, nerve ring, excretory cell and gonad. These results demonstrate the high degree of structural and functional conservation of InsP3Rs from nematodes to mammals and the utility of C. elegans as a system for studies on InsP3R mediated signalling.

Abstract
The role of acidic intracellular calcium stores in calcium homeostasis was investigated in the Drosophila Schneider cell line 2 (S2) by means of free cytosolic calcium ([Ca2+]i) and intracellular pH (pHi) imaging together with measurements of total calcium concentrations within intracellular compartments. Both a weak base (NH4Cl, 15 mM) and a Na+/H+ ionophore (monensin, 10 microM) evoked cytosolic alkalinization followed by Ca2+ release from acidic intracellular Ca2+ stores. Pretreatment of S2 cells with either thapsigargin (1 microM), an inhibitor of endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPases, or with the Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin (10 microM) was without effect on the amplitude of Ca2+ release evoked by alkalinization. Application of the cholinergic agonist carbamylcholine (100 microM) to transfected S2-DM1 cells expressing a Drosophila muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (DM1) emptied the InsP3-sensitive Ca2+ store but failed to affect the amplitude of alkalinization-evoked Ca2+ release. Glycyl-L-phenylalanine-beta-naphthylamide (200 microM), a weak hydrophobic base known to permeabilize lysosomes by osmotic swelling, triggered Ca2+ release from internal stores, while application of brefeldin A (10 microM), an antibiotic which disperses the Golgi complex, resulted in a smaller increase in [Ca2+]i. These results suggest that the alkali-evoked calcium release is largely attributable to lysosomes, a conclusion that was confirmed by direct measurements of total calcium content of S2 organelles. Lysosomes and endoplasmic reticulum were the only organelles found to have concentrations of total calcium significantly higher than the cytosol. However, NH4Cl (15 mM) reduced the level of total calcium only in lysosomes. Depletion of acidic Ca2+ stores did not elicit depletion-operated Ca2+ entry. They were refilled upon re-exposure of cells to normal saline ([Ca2+]o = 2 mM), but not by thapsigargin-induced [Ca2+]i elevation in Ca(2+)-free saline.

Abstract
Although fluctuations in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration have a crucial role in relaying intracellular messages in the cell, the dynamics of Ca2+ storage in and release from intracellular sequestering compartments remains poorly understood. The rapid release of stored Ca2+ requires large concentration gradients that had been thought to result from low-affinity buffering of Ca2+ by the polyanionic matrices within Ca2+-sequestering organelles. However, our results here show that resting luminal free Ca2+ concentration inside the endoplasmic reticulum and in the mucin granules remains at low levels (20-35 microM). But after stimulation, the free luminal [Ca2+] increases, undergoing large oscillations, leading to corresponding oscillations of Ca2+ release to the cytosol. These remarkable dynamics of luminal [Ca2+] result from a fast and highly cooperative Ca2+/K+ ion-exchange process rather than from Ca2+ transport into the lumen. This common paradigm for Ca2+ storage and release, found in two different Ca2+-sequestering organelles, requires the functional interaction of three molecular components: a polyanionic matrix that functions as a Ca2+/K+ ion exchanger, and two Ca2+-sensitive channels, one to import K+ into the Ca2+-sequestering compartments, the other to release Ca2+ to the cytosol.

Abstract
The N-type voltage-operated calcium channel has been characterized over the years as a high-threshold channel, with variable inactivation kinetics, and a unique ability to bind with high affinity and specificity omega-conotoxin GVIA and related toxins. This channel is particularly expressed in some neurons and endocrine cells, where it participates in several calcium-dependent processes, including secretion. Omega-conotoxin GVIA was instrumental not only for the biophysical and pharmacological characterization of N-type channels but also for the development of in vitro assays for studying N-type VOCC subcellular localization, biosynthesis, turnover, as well as short-and long-term regulation of its expression. We here summarize our studies on N-type VOCC expression in neurosecretory cells, with a major emphasis on recent data demonstrating the presence of N-type channels in intracellular secretory organelles and their recruitment to the cell surface during regulated exocytosis.

Abstract
The polymeric Ig receptor (pIgR) transcytoses its ligand, dimeric IgA (dIgA), from the basolateral to the apical surface of epithelial cells. Although the pIgR is constitutively transcytosed in the absence of ligand, binding of dIgA stimulates transcytosis of the pIgR. We recently reported that dIgA binding to the pIgR induces translocation of protein kinase C, production of inositol triphosphate, and elevation of intracellular free calcium. We now report that dIgA binding causes rapid, transient tyrosine phosphorylation of several proteins, including phosphatidyl inositol-specific phospholipase C-gammal. Protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors or deletion of the last 30 amino acids of pIgR cytoplasmic tail prevents IgA-stimulated protein tyrosine kinase activation, tyrosine phosphorylation of phospholipase C-gammal, production of inositol triphosphate, and the stimulation of transcytosis by dIgA. Analysis of pIgR deletion mutants reveals that the same discrete portion of the cytoplasmic domain, residues 727-736 (but not the Tyr734), controls both the ability of pIgR to cause dIgA-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of the phospholipase C-gammal and to undergo dIgA-stimulated transcytosis. In addition, dIgA transcytosis can be strongly stimulated by mimicking phospholipase C-gammal activation. In combination with our previous results, we conclude that the protein tyrosine kinase(s) and phospholipase C-gammal that are activated upon dIgA binding to the pIgR control dIgA-stimulated pIgR transcytosis.

Abstract
The chromaffin cell has been used as a model to characterize releasable components present in secretory granules and to understand the cellular mechanisms involved in catecholamine release. Recent physiological and biochemical developments have revealed that molecular mechanisms implicated in granule trafficking are conserved in all eukaryotic species: a rise in intracellular calcium triggers regulated exocytosis, and highly conserved proteins are essential elements which interact with each other to form a molecular scaffolding, ensuring the docking of granules at the plasma membrane, and perhaps membrane fusion. However, the mechanisms regulating secretion are multiple and cell specific. They operate at different steps along the life of a granule, from the time of granule biosynthesis up to the last step of exocytosis. With regard to cell specificity, noradrenaline and adrenaline chromaffin cells display different receptor and signaling characteristics that may be important to exocytosis. Characterization of regulated exocytosis in chromaffin cells provides not only fundamental knowledge of neurosecretion but is of additional importance as these cells are used for therapeutic purposes.

Abstract
The extracellular calcium concentration has interesting effects on bursting of pancreatic beta-cells. The mechanism underlying the extracellular Ca2+ effect is not well understood. By incorporating a low-threshold transient inward current to the store-operated bursting model of Chay, this paper elucidates the role of the extracellular Ca2+ concentration in influencing electrical activity, intracellular Ca2+ concentration, and the luminal Ca2+ concentration in the intracellular Ca2+ store. The possibility that this inward current is a carbachol-sensitive and TTX-insensitive Na+ current discovered by others is discussed. In addition, this paper explains how these three variables respond when various pharmacological agents are applied to the store-operated model.

Abstract
D-myo-Inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP6, phytate), a normal cellular constituent, was found to be toxic to neuronal perikarya when injected into the rat hippocampus. However, the extrinsic cholinergic innervation of the hippocampus (as estimated by staining for acetylcholinesterase) was unaffected. Its potency as a toxin was approximately equal to that of the excitotoxin quinolinate. Other highly charged derivatives of inositol (inositol hexakissulphate, inositol monophosphate) were not toxic. The cytotoxicity of InsP6 was not due to a high osmolality, or to seizure-induced lesions, but was reduced by calcium. Nevertheless, the toxicity was not due to chelation of brain calcium by InsP6, as another calcium chelator with a higher affinity for calcium, 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (BAPTA), produced only a very mild lesion. Thus, abnormal metabolism of InsP6 might possibly contribute to neuronal death in neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) is an intracellular calcium channel involved in coupling cell membrane receptors to calcium signal transduction pathways within cells including endocrine cells. Several isoforms (I, II, and III) of IP3Rs have been identified, which are encoded by separate genes, and are expressed in many tissues with differing patterns of cellular expression. We have generated specific affinity-purified polyclonal anti-peptide antibodies to each of the three isoforms. Western blot analysis of RINm5F and ATt20 cells shows high levels of endogenously expressed type I and type III IP3R, but undetectable levels of type II. Immunofluorescence studies revealed an endoplasmic reticulum-like pattern similar to BiP, an ER marker. In contrast with previous claims, both type I and type III IP3Rs were absent from the secretory granules of ATt20 cells. Western blots of sucrose gradients and gel filtration probed with antibodies to either type I or type III showed a molecular weight of greater than 1,000 kDa consistent with a tetrameric structure. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments indicated that most of the receptors were present as heterotetramers. Homotetramers were identified for the type III IP3R; however, type I homotetramers were undetectable. These data suggest that molecular association of IP3Rs into heterotetrameric forms can contribute to the complexity of the regulation of Ca2+ release from ER by IP3Rs within cells.

Abstract
It has been reported that the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor subtype 3 is expressed in islet cells and is localized to both insulin and somatostatin granules [Blondel, O., Moody, M. M., Depaoli, A. M., Sharp, A. H., Ross, C. A., Swift, H. & Bell, G. I. (1994) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 91, 7777-7781]. This subcellular localization was based on electron microscope immunocytochemistry using antibodies (affinity-purified polyclonal antiserum AB3) directed to a 15-residue peptide of rat inositol trisphosphate receptor subtype 3. We now show that these antibodies cross-react with rat, but not human, insulin. Accordingly, the anti-inositol trisphosphate receptor subtype 3 (AB3) antibodies label electron dense cores of mature (insulin-rich) granules of rat pancreatic beta cells, and rat granule labeling was blocked by preabsorption of the AB3 antibodies with rat insulin. The immunostaining of immature, Golgi-associated proinsulin-rich granules with AB3 antibodies was very weak, indicating that cross-reactivity is limited to the hormone and not its precursor. Also, the AB3 antibodies labeled pure rat insulin crystals grown in vitro but failed to stain crystals grown from pure human insulin. By immunoprecipitation, the antibodies similarly displayed a higher affinity for rat than for human insulin. We could not confirm the labeling of somatostatin granules using AB3 antibodies.

Abstract
The cellular processes leading to a rise in the intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) after glucose stimulation and K+ depolarization were investigated in insulin-secreting beta TC-3 cells. Stimulation with 11.2mM glucose causes inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate production and release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores. A strong correlation was observed between the changes in Ins(1,4,5)P3 concentration and the rise in [Ca2+]i, consistent with the former compound being responsible for release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores. The increase in Ins(1,4,5)P3 production was reduced by 68 +/- 4% when [Ca2+]i was kept low on glucose stimulation by loading cells with the Ca2+ chelator 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-NNN'N'-tetra-acetic acid (BAPTA). The Ins(1,4,5)P3 production was prevented in cells hyperpolarized with diazoxide, an opener of ATP-sensitive K+-channels, consistent with the membrane potential controlling the rate of Ins(1,4,5)P3 synthesis. Depolarizing K+ concentrations evoked changes in [Ca2+]i and Ins(1,4,5)P3 production in both the presence and the absence of extracellular Ca2+, and from the relation between the extracellular K+ concentration and membrane potential we found a half-maximal Ins(1,4,5)P3 production by a 28mV depolarization from a resting potential of -56mV and by a rise in [Ca2+]i of 390nM. We conclude that stimulation-induced changes in membrane potential and [Ca2+]i are important in controlling Ins(1,4,5)P3 production in beta TC-3 cells and that glucose-stimulated Ca2+ mobilization from intracellular stores is due to voltage-dependent Ins(1,45)P3 production and depends on the concurrent increase in [Ca2+]i.

Abstract
In pancreatic acinar cells low (physiological) agonist concentrations evoke cytosolic Ca2+ spikes specifically in the apical secretory pole that contains a high density of secretory (zymogen) granules (ZGs). Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) is believed to release Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum, but we have now tested whether the Ca(2+)-releasing messengers IP3 and cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPr) can liberate Ca2+ from AGs. In experiments on single isolated ZGs, we show using confocal microscopy that IP3 and cADPr evoke a marked decrease in the free intragranular Ca2+ concentration. Using a novel high resolution method, we have measured changes in the Ca2+ concentration in the vicinity of an isolated AG and show that IP3 and cADPr cause rapid Ca2+ release from the granule, explaining the agonist-evoked cytosolic Ca2+ rise in the secretory pole.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis is poorly understood, despite well-recognised precipitating factors. Current evidence suggests that the earliest abnormalities of acute pancreatitis arise within acinar cells, but the key intracellular trigger has yet to be identified. Within the pancreas, physiological concentrations of secretagogues bind to G-protein-linked cell-surface receptors on acinar cells, evoking short, oscillatory spikes of acinar cytosolic-free ionised calcium ([Ca2+]i), an ubiquitous intracellular messenger. Specific effects within acinar cells include initiation of enzyme release through the phosphorylation cascades of stimulus-secretion coupling. Low resting levels of [Ca2+]i are restored by Ca(2+)-ATPase, which pumps calcium into the endoplasmic reticulum and out of the cell. If high concentrations of [Ca2+]i persist, toxicity results, intracellular signalling is disrupted, and cell damage occurs. Sustained elevations in acinar [Ca2+]i result from exposure to high concentrations of secretagogues, high doses of which also induce acute pancreatitis. Similarly, sustained elevations of [Ca2+]i may result from ductal hypertension, alcohol, hypoxia, hypercalcaemia, hyperlipidaemia, viral infection, and various drugs--all factors known to precipitate acute pancreatitis. We suggest that these factors precipitate acute pancreatitis by causing either excessive release of acinar [Ca2+]i, or damage to the integrity of mechanisms that restore low resting levels of [Ca2+]i, and that the consequent calcium toxicity is the key trigger in the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis.

Abstract
The process of messenger-mediated release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores, which is of great importance in virtually all cell types including neurons, can best be studied in cells lacking voltage-gated Ca2+ channels in the plasma membrane. In pancreatic acinar cells agonist-evoked repetitive cytosolic Ca2+ spikes are due to release of Ca2+ via inositoltrisphosphate (IP3) and ryanodine receptors and reuptake into the stores via thapsigargin-sensitive Ca2+ pumps. At low acetylcholine (ACh) or cholecystokinin concentrations the cytosolic Ca2+ spikes are mostly confined to the secretory granule area of the polarized pancreatic acinar cells. Similar results can be obtained by intracellular infusion of IP3 (or one of its non-metabolizable analogues) or cyclic ADP ribose. This suggests that high affinity IP3 and ryanodine receptors are concentrated in the secretory granule area. We have generated an 'artificial synapse' on isolated acinar cells by having a cell-attached patch pipette filled with ACh on the basal membrane. Initially, ACh is prevented from making contact with the receptors by the negative potential applied to the pipette. When the pipette polarity is switched to positive ACh can bind to its receptors. Using digital Ca2+ imaging it could be seen that the first cytosolic rise often occurred in the secretory granule area, a considerable distance away from the site of the agonist-receptor interaction. This shows the long-range action of the messenger(s) IP3 and or cyclic ADP ribose generated by the ACh-receptor interaction. The local Ca2+ spikes in the secretory granule area are sufficient for exocytotic secretory responses as seen in capacitance measurements.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
