Abstract
Pituitary gonadotrophs express non-desensitizing gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptors and their activations leads to inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3)-dependent Ca2+ mobilization. When added in physiological concentration range GnRH induces baseline Ca2+ oscillations, whereas in higher concentrations it induces a prolonged spike response accompanied with non-oscillatory or oscillatory plateau response. Here, we studied the recovery of calcium signaling during repetitive stimulation with short (10-30 s) GnRH pulses and variable interpulse intervals in neonatal gonadotrophs perfused with Ca2+/Na+ -containing, Ca2+ -deficient/Na+ -containing, and Ca2+ -containing/Na+ -deficient media. In Ca2+/Na+ -containing medium, baseline Ca2+ oscillations recovered without refractory period and with a time constant of approximately 20 s, whereas the recovery of spike response occurred after 25-35 s refractory period and with a time constant of approximately 30 s. During repetitive GnRH stimulation, removal of Ca2+ had only a minor effect on baseline oscillations but abolished spike response, whereas removal of Na+ slightly extended duration of baseline oscillations and considerably prolonged spike response. These results indicate that two calcium handling mechanisms are operative in gonadotrophs: redistribution of calcium within InsP3-sensitive and -insensitive pools and a sodium-dependent calcium efflux followed by calcium influx. Redistribution of Ca2+ within the cell leads to rapid recovery of InsP3-dependent pool, whereas the Na+ -dependent Ca2+ efflux pathway is activated by spike response and limits the time of exposure to elevated cytosolic Ca2+ concentrations.

Abstract
Neurotransmitter-regulation of fluid secretion in the salivary glands is achieved by a coordinated sequence of intracellular signaling events, including the activation of membrane receptors, generation of the intracellular second messenger, inositol 1,4,5, trisphosphate, internal Ca2+ release, and Ca2+ influx. The resulting increase in cytosolic [Ca2+] ([Ca2+]i) regulates a number of ion transporters, e.g., Ca2+-activated K+ channel, Na+/K+/2Cl- co-transporter in the basolateral membrane, and the Ca2+-activated Cl- channel in the luminal membrane, which are intricately involved in fluid secretion. Thus, regulation of [Ca2+]i is central to the regulation of salivary acinar cell function and is achieved by the concerted activities of several ion channels and Ca2+-pumps localized in various cellular membranes. Ca2+ pumps, present in the endoplasmic reticulum and the plasma membrane, serve to remove Ca2+ from the cytosol. Ca2+ channels present in the endoplasmic reticulum and the plasma membrane facilitate rapid influx of Ca2+ into the cytosol from the internal Ca2+ stores and from the external medium, respectively. It is well-established that prolonged fluid secretion is regulated via a sustained elevation in [Ca2+]i that is primarily achieved by the influx of Ca2+ into the cell from the external medium. This Ca2+ influx occurs via a putative plasma-membrane-store-operated Ca2+ channel which has not yet been identified in any non-excitable cell type. Understanding the molecular nature of this Ca2+ influx mechanism is critical to our understanding of Ca2+ signaling in salivary gland cells. This review focuses on the various active and passive Ca2+ transport mechanisms in salivary gland cells--their localization, regulation, and role in neurotransmitter-regulation of fluid secretion. In addition to a historical perspective of Ca2+ signaling, recent findings and challenging problems facing this field are highlighted.

Abstract
Intracellular Ca2+ store depletion induces Ca2+ entry across the plasma membrane, allowing the store to recharge. In our experiments, Ca2+ stores in pancreatic acinar cells were depleted by acetylcholine (ACh) stimulation in Ca2+-free solution. Thereafter, Ca2+ entry was only allowed through a CaCl2-containing pipette attached to the basal membrane. Recharging intracellular Ca2+ stores via a patch pipette occurred without a rise in the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration and depended on the operation of a thapsigargin-sensitive Ca2+ pump. After a period of focal Ca2+ entry, ACh could again evoke a rise in the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration, and this rise always started in the apical secretory pole. Recharging the apical Ca2+ store therefore depends on Ca2+ flow through a tunnel from the basal to the secretory pole, and the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pump is essential for this process.

Abstract
Calcium loading of a rat parotid microsomal fraction is greatly increased by an ATP-regenerating system (phosphocreatine and creatine phosphokinase). This effect is neither a consequence of a rise in the ATP concentration nor of an increased formation of inorganic phosphate originating from hydrolysis of ATP or phosphocreatine. Addition of ADP to the incubation medium provokes an inhibition of Ca2+ influx and a stimulation of Ca2+ efflux by the microsomal fraction. These results suggest that the stimulation of Ca2+ uptake by the ATP-regenerating system is due, at least in part, to an increase of Ca2+ influx and a slowing down of Ca2+ efflux as consequence of a decrease of ADP availability. It is proposed that the effect of ADP on Ca2+ movements could account for the action of certain agonists on intracellular Ca2+ concentration. Moreover, the InsP3 responsive Ca2+ pool was also shown to be enlarged by the ATP-regenerating system without modification of InsP3 sensitivity.

Abstract
The molecular mechanism(s) involved in mediating Ca2+ entry into rat parotid acinar and other non-excitable cells is not known. In this study we have examined the kinetics of Ca2+ entry in fura-2-loaded parotid acinar cells, which were treated with thapsigargin to deplete internal Ca2+ pools (Ca2+-pool-depleted cells). The rate of Ca2+ entry was determined by measuring the initial increase in free cytosolic [Ca2+] ([Ca2+]i) in Ca2+-pool-depleted, and control (untreated), cells upon addition of various [Ca2+] to the medium. In untreated cells, a low-affinity component was detected with KCa = 3. 4 +/- 0.7 mM (where KCa denotes affinity for Ca2+) and Vmax = 9.8 +/- 0.4 nM [Ca2+]i /s. In thapsigargin-treated cells, two Ca2+ influx components were detected with KCa values of 152 +/- 79 microM (Vmax = 5.1 +/- 1.9 nM [Ca2+]i/s) and 2.4 +/- 0.9 mM (Vmax = 37.6 +/- 13.6 nM [Ca2+]i/s), respectively. We have also examined the effect of Ca2+ and depolarization on these two putative Ca2+ influx components. When cells were treated with thapsigargin in a Ca2+-free medium, Ca2+ influx was higher than into cells treated in a Ca2+-containing medium and, while there was a 46% increase in the Vmax of the low-affinity component (no change in KCa), the high-affinity component was not clearly detected. In depolarized Ca2+-pool-depleted cells (with 50 mM KCl in the medium) the high-affinity component was considerably decreased while there was an apparent increase in the KCa of the low-affinity component, without any change in the Vmax. These results demonstrate that Ca2+ influx into parotid acinar cells (1) is increased (four- to five-fold) upon internal Ca2+ pool depletion, and (2) is mediated via at least two components, with low and high affinities for Ca2+.

Abstract
This study examines the effect of membrane potential on divalent cation entry in dispersed parotid acini following stimulation by the muscarinic agonist, carbachol, and during refill of the agonist-sensitive internal Ca2+ pool. Depolarizing conditions (addition of gramicidin to cells in Na(+)-containing medium or incubation of cells in medium with elevated [K+]) prevent carbachol-stimulated hyperpolarization of acini and also inhibit carbachol activation of Ca2+ and Mn2+ entry into these cells. Conditions promoting hyperpolarization (cells in medium with Na+ or with N-methyl-D-glucamine instead of Na+) enhance carbachol stimulation of divalent cation entry. Intracellular Ca2+ release (initial increase in [Ca2+]i) does not appear to be affected by these manipulations. Mn2+ entry into resting and internal Ca2+ pool-depleted cells (10-min carbachol stimulation in a Ca(2+)-free medium) is similarly affected by membrane potential modulations, and refill of the internal pool by Ca2+ is inhibited by depolarization. The inhibitory effects of depolarization on divalent cation entry can be overcome by increasing extracellular [Ca2+] or [Mn2+]. These data demonstrate that the modulation of Ca2+ entry into parotid acini by membrane potential is most likely due to effects on the electrochemical gradient (Em-ECa) for Ca2+ entry.

Abstract
45Ca2+ uptake in isolated rat parotid secretory granules was examined in the presence of oxalate. Uptake of calcium was dependent on time, with the maximum occurring at 15 min. The uptake of calcium was dependent on adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP), and substitution of ATP with beta, gamma-methylene-ATP did not stimulate calcium uptake. Enzyme marker analysis indicated that mitochondria accounted for no greater than 3.0 +/- 0.2% of the observed ATP-dependent calcium uptake. Calcium uptake was blocked by the ATPase inhibitors tributyltin, IC50 = 12.2 +/- 0.6 nmol/L and 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyano-2,2'-stilbene disulphonic acid (SITS), IC50 = 3.0 +/- 0.3 mumol/L. These results indicate that in the parotid secretory granule there is a calcium uptake mechanism that is dependent on the hydrolysis of ATP and is suppressed by two inhibitors of granule ATPase.

Abstract
Previously, we have shown that Ca2+ mobilization following an alpha 1-adrenergic receptor stimulus is reduced in parotid acinar cells from senescent rats as a result of an altered ability of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) to induce Ca2+ release from a non-mitochondrial, intracellular Ca2+ store (Ishikawa, Y., et al. Biochim. Biophys. Acta 968, 203-210). We have used this model to examine the IP3-induced Ca2+ release mechanism in these cells. 45Ca2+ efflux, after exposure to (-) epinephrine, from cells of young adult (3-6 months) rats was approx. 2-fold that observed from cells from older animals (approx. 24 months) either in the presence or absence of extracellular Ca2+. Similarly, cytosolic Ca2+ levels were greater in cells of young adult rats under these same incubation conditions. However, microsomal membrane preparations, from both age groups displayed similar IP3 binding sites (Kd approximately 90 nM, Bmax approximately 850 fmol/mg protein) and ATP-dependent Ca2+ transport ability (approx. 8 nmol/mg protein.min -1). These data suggest that there is an alteration in the IP3-induced Ca2+ release mechanism in microsomal membranes of parotid glands from senescent rats which may account for the decreased Ca2+ release seen after agonist stimulation of this tissue.

Abstract
Calmodulin regulation of ATP-dependent Ca2+ transport activity was assessed in inverted basolateral plasma membrane vesicles (BLMV) isolated from rat parotid glands. The initial rate of Ca2+ transport in media containing 100 nM Ca2+ was stimulated by approximately 60% at maximal concentrations (300 nM) of exogenously added calmodulin (CAM). Half-maximal activation was obtained at 50 and 175 nM CAM in KCl and mannitol containing assay media, respectively. In the KCl medium, addition of 300 nM CAM increased the affinity of the BLMV Ca2+ transport activity for Ca2+ from approximately 70 nM, in the absence of added CAM, to approximately 50 nM. Vmax was consistently increased by approximately 20% under these conditions. When BLMV were treated with ethylene glycol bis(beta-aminoethylether) N,N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA) (200 microM), the affinity of the transporter for Ca2+ decreased by 50% to approximately 150 nM, with no change in Vmax. When CAM was added to the EGTA-treated membranes, Ca2+ transport activity was comparable to that obtained when CAM was added directly to control, untreated BLMV. The CAM antagonists, trifluoperazine (TFP), W-7, and calmidazolium, inhibited Ca2+ transport in the presence of CAM. Half-maximal inhibition of transport was achieved by 12 microM TFP and 20 microM W-7. Calmidazolium (1 microM) inhibited Ca2+ transport by 75%. The inhibitory effects on ATP-dependent Ca2+ transport exerted by these agents were not due to an increase in the passive permeability of the membranes to Ca2+. Furthermore, in the absence of added CAM, the inhibitory effects of these agents on initial Ca2+ transport rate was decreased. The data presented suggest that the Ca2+-dependent interaction of CAM with the ATP-dependent Ca2+ transporter in rat parotid BLMV modifies the kinetic properties of this Ca2+ transporting mechanism.

Abstract
Salivary gland fluid secretion following neurotransmitter stimulation is Ca2+-dependent. We have studied the control of cellular Ca2+ following secretory stimuli in rat parotid gland acinar cells. After muscarinic-cholinergic receptor activation, cytosolic Ca2+ is elevated 4-5 fold, due to both intracellular Ca2+ pool mobilization and extracellular Ca2+ entry. Fluid movement ensues due to the Ca2+-activated enhancement of membrane permeability to K+ and Cl-. Basal cytosolic Ca2+ levels are tightly controlled at approximately 150-200 nM through the action of high affinity and high capacity ATP-dependent Ca2+ transporters in the basolateral and endoplasmic reticulum membranes. Activity of these Ca2+ transporters can be modulated to facilitate rapid responsiveness and a sustained fluid secretory response necessary for alimentary function.
