Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine whether fimasartan, a newly developed AT1 receptor blocker, can affect the CA release in the isolated perfused model of the adrenal medulla of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). Fimasartan (5~50 µM) perfused into an adrenal vein for 90 min produced dose- and time-dependently inhibited the CA secretory responses evoked by ACh (5.32 mM), high K+ (56 mM, a direct membrane depolarizer), DMPP (100 µM) and McN-A-343 (100 µM). Fimasartan failed to affect basal CA output. Furthermore, in adrenal glands loaded with fimasartan (15 µM), the CA secretory responses evoked by Bay-K-8644 (10 µM, an activator of L-type Ca2+ channels), cyclopiazonic acid (10 µM, an inhibitor of cytoplasmic Ca2+-ATPase), and veratridine (100 µM, an activator of Na+ channels) as well as by angiotensin II (Ang II, 100 nM), were markedly inhibited. In simultaneous presence of fimasartan (15 µM) and L-NAME (30 µM, an inhibitor of NO synthase), the CA secretory responses evoked by ACh, high K+, DMPP, Ang II, Bay-K-8644, and veratridine was not affected in comparison of data obtained from treatment with fimasartan (15 µM) alone. Also there was no difference in NO release between before and after treatment with fimasartan (15 µM). Collectively, these experimental results suggest that fimasartan inhibits the CA secretion evoked by Ang II, and cholinergic stimulation (both nicotininc and muscarinic receptors) as well as by membrane depolarization from the rat adrenal medulla. It seems that this inhibitory effect of fimasartan may be mediated by blocking the influx of both Na+ and Ca2+ through their ion channels into the rat adrenomedullary chromaffin cells as well as by inhibiting the Ca2+ release from the cytoplasmic calcium store, which is relevant to AT1 receptor blockade without NO release.

Abstract
The present sutdy aimed to determine whether olmesartan, an angiotensin II (Ang II) type 1 (AT(1)) receptor blocker, can influence the CA release from the isolated perfused model of the rat adrenal medulla. Olmesartan (5~50 µM) perfused into an adrenal vein for 90 min produced dose- and time-dependent inhibition of the CA secretory responses evoked by ACh (5.32 mM), high K(+) (56 mM, a direct membrane-depolarizer), DMPP (100 µM) and McN-A-343 (100 µM). Olmesartan did not affect basal CA secretion. Also, in adrenal glands loaded with olmesartan (15 µM), the CA secretory responses evoked by Bay-K-8644 (10 µM, an activator of voltage-dependent L-type Ca(2+) channels), cyclopiazonic acid (10 µM, an inhibitor of cytoplasmic Ca(2+) -ATPase), veratridine (100 µM, an activator of voltage-dependent Na(+) channels), and Ang II (100 nM) were markedly inhibited. However, at high concentrations (150~300 µM), olmesartan rather enhanced the ACh-evoked CA secretion. Taken together, these results show that olmesartan at low concentrations inhibits the CA secretion evoked by cholinergic stimulation (both nicotininc and muscarinic receptors) as well as by direct membrane depolarization from the rat adrenal medulla, but at high concentrations it rather potentiates the ACh-evoked CA secretion. It seems that olmesartan has a dual action, acting as both agonist and antagonist at nicotinic receptors of the isolated perfused rat adrenal medulla, which might be dependent on the concentration. It is also thought that this inhibitory effect of olmesartan may be mediated by blocking the influx of both Na(+) and Ca(2+) into the rat adrenomedullary chromaffin cells as well as by inhibiting the Ca(2+) release from the cytoplasmic calcium store, which is thought to be relevant to the AT(1) receptor blockade, in addition to its enhancement on the CA secreton.

Abstract
Cannabinoids are known to have multiple sites of action in the nociceptive system, leading to reduced pain sensation. However, the peripheral mechanism(s) by which this phenomenon occurs remains an issue that has yet to be resolved. Because phosphorylation of TRPV1 (transient receptor potential subtype V1) plays a key role in the induction of thermal hyperalgesia in inflammatory pain models, we evaluated whether the cannabinoid agonist WIN 55,212-2 (WIN) regulates the phosphorylation state of TRPV1. Here, we show that treatment of primary rat trigeminal ganglion cultures with WIN led to dephosphorylation of TRPV1, specifically at threonine residues. Utilizing Chinese hamster ovary cell lines, we demonstrate that Thr(144) and Thr(370) were dephosphorylated, leading to desensitization of the TRPV1 receptor. This post-translational modification occurred through activation of the phosphatase calcineurin (protein phosphatase 2B) following WIN treatment. Furthermore, knockdown of TRPA1 (transient receptor potential subtype A1) expression in sensory neurons by specific small interfering RNA abolished the WIN effect on TRPV1 dephosphorylation, suggesting that WIN acts through TRPA1. We also confirm the importance of TRPA1 in WIN-induced dephosphorylation of TRPV1 in Chinese hamster ovary cells through targeted expression of one or both receptor channels. These results imply that the cannabinoid WIN modulates the sensitivity of sensory neurons to TRPV1 activation by altering receptor phosphorylation. In addition, our data could serve as a useful strategy in determining the potential use of certain cannabinoids as peripheral analgesics.

Abstract
We have previously demonstrated that CGP 42112 (AT(2) agonist > or =1 nM) markedly reduces catecholamine biosynthesis through AT(2), which is the major angiotensin II (AngII) receptor subtype in cultured porcine chromaffin cells. Also, we have shown that CGP 42112 (> or =1 nM) induces a reduction in cGMP production in these cells. The present study showed that AngII reduced cGMP production via AT(2) in a manner similar to that found with CGP 42112. AngII (1 nM) significantly increased catecholamine secretion from cultured porcine adrenal medullary chromaffin cells. The stimulation was significantly inhibited by PD 123319 (AT(2) antagonist). The stimulation was moderately, but significantly, attenuated by CV-11974 (AT(1) antagonist, > or =10 nM), suggesting an involvement of AT(1). Moreover, CGP 42112 (> or =10 nM) markedly increased catecholamine release from these cells. The stimulation by CGP 42112 was abolished by PD 123319, whereas CV-11974 had no effect, indicating that this response is also mediated by AT(2). We further examined whether extracellular Ca(2+) is involved in the stimulatory effect of AT(2) on catecholamine secretion. Removal of external Ca(2+) significantly suppressed either AngII plus CV-11974 (100 nM; which simulates specific AT(2) stimulation) or CGP 42112- induced catecholamine secretion. AngII plus CV-11974 or CGP 42112 caused a sustained increase in intracellular Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)), as determined in fura-2-loaded chromaffin cells in an extracellular Ca(2+)-dependent manner. In the presence of EGTA, the subsequent addition of AngII with CV-11974 and CGP 42112 did not cause any increase in [Ca(2+)](i) levels. Consistent with this finding, CGP 42112 (10 nM to 1 microM) did not alter inositol triphosphate (IP(3)) production, a messenger for mobilization of Ca(2+) from intracellular storage sites. In addition, the intracellular Ca(2+) chelator 1,2-bis(2-amino-phenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'- tetraacetic acid acetoxymethylester (BAPTA) did not affect CGP 42112-induced catecholamine release. We tested whether a decrease in cGMP was the cause of the stimulatory effect of AT(2) on catecholamine secretion. Pretreatment with 8-bromo-cGMP (1 mM) prevented the stimulatory effect of AngII plus CV-11974 and CGP 42112 on both catecholamine secretion and [Ca(2+)](i). When 8-bromo-cGMP was added after application of AngII plus CV-11974 or CGP 42112, [Ca(2+)](i) induced by these agents was gradually reduced toward the baseline values. Similarly, guanylin completely abolished the AngII- plus CV-11974-induced increase in both NE secretion and [Ca(2+)](i). The Ca(2+) channel blockers, nicardipine and omega-conotoxin G VIA, at 1 microM in both cases, were also effective in inhibiting AT(2) stimulation-induced secretion. On the other hand, neither T-type voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channel blockers, flunarizine, nor Ni(2+) affected catecholamine release caused by AT(2) stimulation. These findings demonstrate that AT(2) stimulation induces catecholamine secretion by mobilizing Ca(2+) through voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channels without affecting intracellular pools and that these effects could be mediated by a decrease in cGMP production.

Abstract
We elucidated the interaction of small-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) (SK(Ca)) channels and L-type Ca(2+) channels in muscarinic receptor-mediated control of catecholamine secretion in the isolated perfused rat adrenal gland. The muscarinic agonist methacholine (10-300 microM) produced concentration-dependent increases in adrenal output of epinephrine and norepinephrine. The SK(Ca) channel blocker apamin (1 microM) enhanced the methacholine-induced catecholamine responses. The facilitatory effect of apamin on the methacholine-induced catecholamine responses was not observed during treatment with the L-type Ca(2+) channel blocker nifedipine (3 microM) or Ca(2+)-free solution. Nifedipine did not affect the methacholine-induced catecholamine responses, but it inhibited the responses during treatment with apamin. The L-type Ca(2+) channel activator Bay k 8644 (1 microM) enhanced the methacholine-induced catecholamine responses, whereas the enhancement of the methacholine-induced epinephrine and norepinephrine responses were prevented and attenuated by apamin, respectively. These results suggest that SK(Ca) channels are activated by muscarinic receptor stimulation, which inhibits the opening of L-type Ca(2+) channels and thereby attenuates adrenal catecholamine secretion.

Abstract
We elucidated the functional contribution of K(+) channels to cholinergic control of catecholamine secretion in the perfused rat adrenal gland. The small-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) (SK(Ca))-channel blocker apamin (10-100 nM) enhanced the transmural electrical stimulation (ES; 1-10 Hz)- and 1, 1-dimethyl-4-phenyl-piperazinium (DMPP; 5-40 microM)-induced increases in norepinephrine (NE) output, whereas it did not affect the epinephrine (Epi) responses. Apamin enhanced the catecholamine responses induced by acetylcholine (6-200 microM) and methacholine (10-300 microM). The putative large-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channel blocker charybdotoxin (10-100 nM) enhanced the catecholamine responses induced by ES, but not the responses induced by cholinergic agonists. Neither the K(A) channel blocker mast cell degranulating peptide (100-1000 nM) nor the K(V) channel blocker margatoxin (10-100 nM) affected the catecholamine responses. These results suggest that SK(Ca) channels play an inhibitory role in adrenal catecholamine secretion mediated by muscarinic receptors and also in the nicotinic receptor-mediated secretion of NE, but not of Epi. Charybdotoxin-sensitive Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels may control the secretion at the presynaptic site.

Abstract
A number of approaches can be used to determine the protein kinases and protein phosphatases acting on particular phosphoproteins in vivo. Cell permeabilization represents one such approach. In this overview we discuss the different permeabilization procedures used in bovine adrenal chromaffin cells and in particular the use of digitonin. The effect of various factors on the extent of digitonin-permeabilization, protein phosphorylation and catecholamine release are also discussed. The factors include the permeabilization medium, the ions such as calcium, and the second messengers, such as cAMP, IP3, cADPR and calmodulin. The effect of specific peptide inhibitors of protein kinases on tyrosine hydroxylase phosphorylation is illustrated. Advantages and disadvantages of cell permeabilization procedures are discussed throughout the text.

Abstract
To understand the mechanisms underlying the Cd2+- and Co2+-induced intracellular Ca2+ mobilization, we measured the levels of inositol phosphates using bovine chromaffin cells. Studies using HPLC indicated that Cd2+, Co2+ and methacholine significantly increased the generation of 1,4,5-IP3. The results suggest that Cd2+ and Co2+ mobilize Ca2+ from IP3-sensitive Ca2+ stores, possibly through the presumptive Cd2+ receptor.

Abstract
The uptake and release properties of Ca2+ by several subcellular fractions of the bovine adrenal medulla were investigated. Investigation by the 45Ca2+ tracer method showed that permeabilized cells and the fractions of mitochondria (MT) and microsomes (MC) caused ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake in a Ca2+ concentration-dependent manner (pCa 8-4), whereas permeabilized cells and the fractions of secretory granules (SG) were able to accumulate a significant amount of Ca2+ even in the absence of ATP, which was completed by the addition of hexokinase and glucose. In these organelle fractions, Ca2+ uptake in the presence of ATP at pCa 7 and pCa 5.8 was well-correlated with the activity of the NADPH cytochrome c reductase (marker enzyme for the endoplasmic reticulum) and cytochrome c oxidase (marker enzyme for mitochondria), respectively. As detected by Fura-2 ratiometry, both inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and caffeine caused concentration-dependent Ca2+ releases from permeabilized cells and MC, but not from MT and SG. In an ATP-depleted condition, homogenates still took up a significant amount of Ca2+ but was not able to respond to IP3 and caffeine. These results suggest that the endoplasmic reticulum is a major Ca(2+)-storing organelle, which releases Ca2+ in response to IP3 and caffeine in bovine adrenal chromaffin cells.

Abstract
In Fura-2 loaded-single guinea pig adrenal chromaffin cells, muscarine, nicotine and KCl all caused an early peak rise in intracellular Ca concentration ([Ca2+]i) followed by a sustained rise. In Ca(2+)-free solution, muscarine, but neither nicotine nor KCl, caused a transient increase in [Ca2+]i, which was partially reduced by preceding application of caffeine or by treatment with ryanodine plus caffeine. In voltage-clamped cells at a holding potential of -60 mV, the muscarine-induced [Ca2+]i rise, especially its sustained phase, decreased in magnitude. Intracellular application of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate caused a transient increase in [Ca2+]i and inhibited the following [Ca2+]i response to muscarine without affecting responses to nicotine and a depolarizing pulse. Muscarine evoked membrane depolarization following brief hyperpolarization in most cells tested. There was a significant positive correlation between the amplitude of the depolarization and the magnitude of the sustained rise in [Ca2+]i. Muscarine-induced sustained [Ca2+]i rise was much greater in the current-clamp mode than that in the voltage-clamp mode. The sustained phase of [Ca2+]i rise and Mn2+ influx in response to muscarine were suppressed by a voltage-dependent Ca2+ channel blocker, methoxyverapamil. These results suggest that stimulation of muscarinic receptors causes not only extracellular Ca2+ entry, but also Ca2+ mobilization from inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-sensitive intracellular stores. Voltage-dependent Ca(2+)-channels may function as one of the Ca2+ entry pathways activated by muscarinic receptor in guinea pig adrenal chromaffin cells.

Abstract
Rat chromaffin cells express an interesting diversity of Ca(2+)-dependent K+ channels, including a voltage-independent, small-conductance, apamin-sensitive SK channel and two variants of voltage-dependent, large-conductance BK channels. The two BK channel variants are differentially segregated among chromaffin cells, such that BK current is completely inactivating in about 75-80% of rat chromaffin cells, while the remainder express a mix of inactivating and non-inactivating current or mostly non-inactivating BKs current. The single-channel conductance of BKi channels is identical to that of BKs channels. Although rates of current activation are similar in the two variants, the deactivation kinetics of the two channels also differ. Furthermore, BKi channels are somewhat less sensitive to scorpion toxins than BKs channels. The slow component of BKi channel deactivation may be an important determinant of the functional role of these channels. During blockade of SK current, cells with BKi current fire tonically during sustained depolarizing current injection, whereas cells with BKs current tend to fire only a few action potentials before becoming quiescent. The ability to repetitively fire requires functional BKi channels, since partial blockade of BKi channels by CTX makes a BKi cell behave much like a BKs cell. In contrast, the physiological significance of BKi inactivation may arise from the ability of secretagogue-induced [Ca2+]i elevations to regulate the availability of BKi channels during subsequent action potentials (Herrington et al., 1995). By reducing the number of BK channels available for repolarization, the time course of action potentials may be prolonged. This possibility remains to be tested directly. These results raise a number of interesting questions pertinent to the control of secretion in rat adrenal chromaffin cells. An interesting hypothesis is that cells with a particular kind of BK current may reflect particular subpopulations of chromaffin cells. These subpopulations might differ either in the nature of the material secreted from the cell (e.g., Douglass and Poisner, 1965) or in the responsiveness to particular secretagogues. The differences in electrical behavior between cells with BKi and BKs current suggest that the pattern of secretion that might be elicited by a single type of stimulus could differ. For BKi cells, secretion may occur in a tonic fashion during sustained depolarization, while secretion from cells with BKs current may be more phasic. In the absence of specific structural information about the domains responsible for inactivation of BKi channels, our understanding of the mechanism of inactivation remains indirect. BKi inactivation shares many features with N-terminal inactivation of voltage-dependent K+ channels. However, there are provocative differences between the two types of inactivation which require us to propose that the native inactivation domain of BKi channels may occlude access of permeant ions to the BK channel permeation pathway in a position at some distance from the actual mouth of the channel. Further understanding of the structural and mechanistic basis of inactivation of BKi channels promises to provide new insights into both the cytoplasmic topology of BK channels and the Ca(2+)- and voltage-dependent steps involved in channel activation.

Abstract
Previous investigations of the role of Ca2+ in stimulus-secretion coupling have been undertaken in populations of adrenal chromaffin cells. In the present study, the simultaneous detection of intracellular Ca2+, with the fluorescent probe fura-2, and catecholamine release, using a carbon-fiber microelectrode, are examined at single chromaffin cells in culture. Results from classic depolarizing stimuli, high potassium (30-140 mM) and 1,1-dimethyl-4-phenylpiperazinium (3-50 microM), show a dependence of peak cytosolic Ca2+ concentration and catecholamine release on secretagogue concentration. Catecholamine release induced by transient high K+ stimulation increases logarithmically with K+ concentration. Continuous exposure to veratridine (50 microM) induces oscillations in intracellular Ca2+ and at higher concentrations (100 microM) concomitant fluctuation of cytosolic Ca2+ and catecholamine secretion. Mobilization of both caffeine- and inositol trisphosphate-sensitive intracellular Ca2+ stores is found to elicit secretion with or without extracellular Ca2+. Caffeine-sensitive intracellular Ca2+ stores can be depleted, refilled, and cause exocytosis in medium without Ca2+. Single cell measurement of exocytosis and the increase in cytosolic Ca2+ induced by bradykinin-activated intracellular stores reveal cell to cell variability in exocytotic responses which is masked in populations of cells. Taken together, these results show that exocytosis of catecholamines can be induced by an increase in cytosolic Ca2+ either as a result of transmembrane entry or by release of internal stores.

Abstract
1. Veratridine (VTD) induced large oscillations of the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) and the membrane potential (Vm) in otherwise silent bovine chromaffin cells loaded with fura-2. 2. Depletion of the intracellular Ca2+ stores by thapsigargin or ryanodine did not affect these oscillations. Caffeine had a complex effect, decreasing them in cells with high activity but increasing them in cells with low activity. 3. The [Ca2+]i oscillations required extracellular Ca2+ and Na+ and were blocked by Ni2+ or tetrodotoxin. They were antagonized by high external concentrations of Mg2+ and/or Ca2+. 4. The oscillations of Vm had three phases: (i) slow depolarization (20 mV in 10-40 s); (ii) further fast depolarization (30 mV in 1 s); and (iii) rapid (5 s) repolarization. [Ca2+]i decreased during (i), increased quickly during (ii) with a 1 s delay with regard to the peak depolarization, and decreased during (iii). 5. Slight depolarizations increased the frequency of the oscillations whereas large depolarizations decreased it. 6. The Ca(2+)-dependent K+ channel blocker apamin increased the duration and decreased the frequency of the oscillations. 7. We propose the following mechanism for the oscillations: (i) the membrane depolarizes slowly by a decrease of potassium conductance (gK), perhaps due to a gradual decrease of [Ca2+]i; (ii) the threshold for activation of Na+ channels (decreased by VTD) is reached, producing further depolarization and recruiting Ca2+ channels, and inactivation of both Ca2+ and VTD-poisoned Na+ channels is slow; and (iii) gK increases, aided by activation of Ca(2+)-dependent K+ channels by the increased [Ca2+]i, and the membrane repolarizes. The contribution of the Na+ channels seems essential for the generation of the oscillations. 8. Bovine chromaffin cells have the machinery required for [Ca2+]i oscillations even though the more physiological stimulus tested here (high K+, field electrical stimulation, nicotinic or muscarinic agonists) produced mainly non-oscillatory responses.

Abstract
Angiotensin II (ANG) receptor subtypes were characterized by quantitative autoradiography after incubation with the ANG agonist [124I]Sar1-ANG in rat adrenal medulla. ANG receptors are highly localized in adrenal medulla. Specific binding was displaced by 4% and by 95% with the AT, receptor blocker losartan and the AT2 receptor competitor CGP 42112A, respectively. Analysis of competition curves indicated relative binding potencies for the AT2 population of CGP 42112A>PD 123319> PD 123177. ANG stimulated +-nositol phosphate formation in a dose-dependent manner in rat adrenal medulla. Losartan at concentrations of 10(-9) to 10(-5) M antagonized the effect of ANG, whereas PD 123177 or PD 123319 had no antagonistic action. However, at a higher concentration (10(-5) M) PD 123177 or PD 123319 potentiated the effect of ANG on InsP1-accumulation. In the presence of PD 123319 (10(-5) M) ANG dose-response curve was shifted to the left with no change in the maximal effect. This affect was blocked by the addition of losartan (10(-5) M). On the contrary, the addition of CGP 42112A (10(-6) M) inhibited ANG-induced increase in InsP1-accumulation. On the other hand, ANG and CGP 42112A reduced basal cyclic GMP formation, this effect was partially reverted by sodium orthovanadate, a phosphotyrosine phosphatase inhibitor. Our results further demonstrate the presence of two ANG receptor subtypes in adrenal medulla: ANG binding to AT, receptor stimulates inositol phospholipid metabolism, whereas ANG binding to AT2 receptors decreases both inositol phosphate production and cGMP formation.

Abstract
Monensin, a Na+/H+ exchanger, induces catecholamine secretion from adrenal chromaffin cells by an unknown mechanism. We found and report here that in bovine chromaffin cells, monensin evokes profound changes in [Ca2+]i which were measured by means of the fluorescent Ca2+ indicator Indo-1. Application of monensin (10 microM) generated a marked [Ca2+]i rise. Removal of external Ca2+ did not prevent the elevation of [Ca2+]i, though it was significantly decreased. In the presence of nifedipine (10 microM) or tetrodotoxin (3 microM) the monensin-induced [Ca2+]i rise remained unchanged. In contrast, in the absence of extracellular Na+ the [Ca2+]i rise was abolished. Addition of caffeine (40 mM) at the peak response generated by monensin produced a further increase in [Ca2+]i, which was independent of external [Ca2+] or [Na+]. After depletion of the IP3-sensitive compartment by thapsigargin (1 microM), caffeine still induced a rise in [Ca2+]i while the monensin response was absent. We concluded that the origin of the Ca2+ for the [Ca2+]i increase elicited by the Na+/H+ exchanger in chromaffin cells is not the extracellular space. Clearly there seems to be at least two intracellular Ca2+ stores, one of which is affected by monensin. This Ca2+ pool, which is different than the pool stimulated by caffeine, is sensitive to the extracellular [Ca2+] and to thapsigargin. Our data are compatible with the idea that the monensin mediated Na+ entry could activate the production of inositol trisphosphate and this in turn could trigger Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum.

Abstract
The role of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3]-sensitive Ca2+ pools in secretion, induced by muscarinic agonists in porcine adrenal chromaffin cells, was studied. Activation of muscarinic receptors, as in other species, was found to increase inositol phosphate production including that of Ins(1,4,5)P3. Treatment of cells with thapsigargin, which is known to deplete Ins(1,4,5)P3-sensitive Ca2+ pools, eliminated the initial transient component of increases in the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]in) induced by the muscarinic agonist, methacholine, in both the presence and the absence of extracellular Ca2+. Thapsigargin treatment also decreased methacholine-induced secretion by about 30% in the presence of extracellular Ca2+ and essentially eliminated secretion that occurred independently of extracellular Ca2+ (which was about 30% of the secretory response that occurred in the presence of extracellular Ca2+). Thapsigargin itself had no effect on inositol phosphate production. These results indicate that about 30% of muscarinic agonist-induced secretion is mediated by the release of Ca2+ from Ins(1,4,5)P3- and thapsigargin-sensitive intracellular Ca2+ pools. These results also suggest that Ca2+ influx activated by muscarinic agonists is not due to depletion of intracellular Ca2+ pools, as prior depletion of these pools had no effect on the portion of the methacholine-induced secretory response and [Ca2+]in signal that was dependent on extracellular Ca2+.

Abstract
Catecholamine (CA) release from adrenal medulla evoked by muscarinic receptor stimulation has been studied using isolated perfused adrenal gland and cultured chromaffin cells from dogs. Muscarine and oxotremorine (1-100 microM), and bethanechol (0.1-1 mM) dose-dependently stimulated CA release. Muscarine-evoked CA release was antagonized with M1-antagonist, pirenzepine and, to a lesser extent, with atropine; and was reduced either by removal of extracellular Ca2+ or treatment with Ca2+ channel blockers. Muscarine caused an increase of 45Ca uptake and 22Na uptake. Tetrodotoxin (TTX) did not affect muscarine-evoked increase of 22Na uptake and CA release. Under the absence of extracellular Ca2+, muscarine stimulated a 45Ca efflux. Muscarine-induced CA release was attenuated by treating the cells with 8-(N,N-diethylamino)-octyl-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate-HCl (TMB-8) which blocks Ca2+ release from the intracellular store. A phospholipase C inhibitor, neomycin, markedly reduced muscarine-induced CA release but not nicotine- and high K(+)-evoked release. Cinnarizine, a Ca2+ channel blocker, attenuated muscarine-evoked but not caffeine-induced CA release and 45Ca efflux in the absence of extracellular Ca2+. Muscarine caused an increase in intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in the presence of extracellular Ca2+. It caused a similar increase, but to a lesser extent, in the absence of extracellular Ca2+. The increase of [Ca2+]i induced by muscarine without extracellular Ca2+ was reduced by neomycin and cinnarizine. Polymixin B and retinal, which reduced 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced CA release, had little effect on muscarine-induced CA release. Muscarine increased cellular Ins(1,4,5)P3 production, and atropine inhibited this increase.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
1. Chromaffin cells of the toad were used to investigate the effects of total replacement of extracellular Na+ by monovalent cations or sucrose on secretion of catecholamine (CA). 2. K+, Rb+ or Cs+ in place of Na+ produced an immediate secretory response, which are dependent on extracellular Ca2+ and it was blocked by Co2+. Li+ or choline+ did not affect basal secretion. 3. Isosmotic replacement of Na+ by sucrose caused CA secretion even in the absence of external Ca2+ or in the presence of Ca-channel blockers. 4. Tetraethylammonium decreased the extent of CA release produced by either K+ or Rb+. 5. The secretagogue effect of Na+/K+, Na+/Rb+ or Na+/Cs+ replacement could be explained by a depolarization of the cell membrane, which ultimately will cause Ca2+ influx through voltage-dependent Ca-channels. However, the present results indicate that Na+ may be sufficient but not necessary for CA secretion.

Abstract
Histamine can cause the release of catecholamines from bovine adrenal medullary chromaffin cells by a mechanism distinct from that of the depolarizing agents nicotine or high K+ buffer. It was the aim of this study to determine the protein phosphorylation responses to histamine in these cells and to compare them with those induced by depolarization. A number of proteins showed increases in phosphorylation in response to histamine especially when analyzed on two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis or by phosphopeptide mapping; one protein of 20,000 daltons was markedly dephosphorylated. Emphasis was given to the effects of histamine on tyrosine hydroxylase (TOH) phosphorylation, because this protein showed the most prominent changes on one-dimensional gels. Histamine acted via H1 receptors to increase TOH phosphorylation; the response was blocked by the H1 antagonist mepyramine and could be mimicked by the H1 agonist thiazolylethylamine, but not by the H2 agonist dimaprit. The H3 agonist (R) alpha-methylhistamine increased TOH phosphorylation at high concentrations, but the response was blocked entirely by mepyramine. Histamine rapidly increased the phosphorylation of TOH, with a maximum reached within 5 s and maintained for at least 30 min. This was in marked contrast to nicotine-stimulated protein phosphorylation of TOH, which was rapidly desensitized. The initial phosphorylation response to histamine was independent of extracellular Ca2+ for at least 3 min, but the sustained response required extracellular Ca2+. This was in contrast to the situation with both nicotine and high K+ buffer, which under the conditions used here caused a response which was dependent on extracellular Ca2+ at all times investigated. In the presence of histamine, the phosphopeptide profiles for TOH were essentially the same with or without Ca2+, suggesting that the same protein kinases were involved, but at longer times there was evidence of new phosphorylation sites. The mechanism or mechanisms whereby histamine modulates TOH phosphorylation are discussed with emphasis on the differences from depolarizing agents.

Abstract
To elucidate the possible involvement of GTP-binding proteins (G proteins) in the mechanism of exocytosis, we studied effects of pertussis toxin (PTX), guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP-gamma-S), and antibodies against the G proteins (Gi and G(o)) on the secretory function of bovine adrenal chromaffin cells. Pretreatment of chromaffin cells with PTX resulted in an increase in acetylcholine-evoked catecholamine release. High K(+)-, histamine-, or gamma-aminobutyric acid-evoked catecholamine release was also potentiated by PTX pretreatment. The concentration of extracellular Ca2+ required for maximal release by 10(-4) M acetylcholine was decreased significantly in PTX-treated cells. In digitonin-permeabilized cells, PTX pretreatment resulted in a decrease of the half-maximal concentration (Km) of Ca2+ required for exocytosis with no significant change in the maximal stimulation (Vmax). Exposure of permeabilized cells to GTP-gamma-S (a nonhydrolyzable GTP analogue) inhibited Ca(2+)-dependent exocytosis by reducing the affinity for Ca2+. The effects of PTX pretreatment were mimicked by treatment of permeabilized cells with polyclonal antibodies selective for the alpha subunit of the PTX-sensitive G protein, G(o). Treatment with similar antibodies against the alpha subunit of Gi had no effect. These findings suggest that G(o) directly controls the Ca(2+)-triggered process in the machinery of exocytosis by lowering the affinity of the unknown target for Ca2+.

Abstract
Histamine activation of H1 receptors stimulates 3H release from cultured bovine adrenal chromaffin cells preloaded with [3H]noradrenaline. The initial (1-min) release induced by a high concentration of histamine was unaffected by the removal of extracellular Ca2+, whereas the more sustained response (10 min) was largely inhibited. In contrast, release induced by nicotine was dependent on extracellular Ca2+ at all times. The protein kinase inhibitor staurosporine inhibited both the initial and sustained (10-min) phases of histamine-induced release (IC50 in the region of 200 nM) but was ineffective against a direct depolarizing stimulus (56 mM K+). In contrast, the calmodulin antagonist trifluoperazine was equally effective against both stimuli. These data indicate that although a staurosporine-sensitive event (perhaps involving protein kinase C) is essential for coupling histamine receptor activation to the release processes, it is not essential for exocytosis itself. A further distinction between histamine- and depolarization-induced release was demonstrated by the differential effect of the guanine nucleotide-binding protein inhibitor pertussis toxin. Pretreatment with pertussis toxin (0.1 microgram/ml for 16 h) enhanced depolarization-induced release by approximately 1.5-fold. This pertussis toxin pretreatment was, however, approximately twofold as effective in potentiating histamine-evoked release. Thus, the characteristics of the histaminergic response are distinct from those of a depolarizing stimulus, perhaps indicating the involvement of different mechanisms in the release process.

Abstract
Previous results from our laboratory suggest that long-term treatment of primary cultured bovine adrenal medullary (BAM) chromaffin cells with nicotine or phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, either of which directly activates protein kinase C (PKC), increases the mRNA levels encoding catecholamine-synthesizing enzymes and proenkephalin. In the present study, we have examined the effects of nicotine on BAM cell PKC activity with special emphasis on long-term effects. Nicotine increased particulate PKC activity in a concentration-dependent manner when measured using in vitro enzyme assay with histone as the substrate. This effect is mediated through nicotinic cholinergic receptors, because 1,1-dimethylphenylpiperazinium, a nicotinic agonist, had a similar effect. In addition, chlorisondamine, a specific nicotine-receptor blocking drug, antagonized the effect of nicotine. Nicotine also increased specific [3H]phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate ([3H]PdBu) binding within 1 min, the effect of which was maximal between 3 and 12 min. This effect was reversed by chlorisondamine similarly after 12 min and after 18 h of nicotine treatment, indicating that continual nicotinic-receptor occupancy is required for persistent PKC activation. Compared to PKC activation, the onset of nicotine-stimulated diacylglycerol production was slow, and it was observed after 12 min of incubation with nicotine. The diacylglycerol levels, specific [3H]PdBu binding, and PKC activity remained significantly elevated for at least 18 h with continuous nicotine incubation. Furthermore, nicotine increased the PKC immunoreactivity of a particulate protein with a molecular mass of 82 kDa in the western blot. These results suggest that nicotinic-receptor activation increases PKC activity and immunoreactivity in BAM cells.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
1. Stimulus-secretion coupling studies were carried out on adrenal chromaffin tissue from the toad. Catecholamine (CA) secretion was generated in response to acetylcholine (ACh) or high K+. 2. The response to ACh was found to be dependent on the presence of external Ca2+. The secretion induced by ACh or high K+ was inhibited by the Ca-channel blockers CoCl2 and nifedipine. 3. The specific Na+/H+ ionophore, monensin, induced a strong secretory response only if Na+ was present in the Ringer. Monensin's effect did not depend on external Ca2+ and was unaffected by the channel blockers tetrodotoxin or CoCl2. 4. Secretion induced by monensin was exocytotic as was shown by measuring ATP release using a photoluminescence, luciferine/luciferase assay. 5. In conclusion, in the toad, as in higher species, stimulus-secretion coupling involves Ca2+ entry from the external medium, possibly through voltage-dependent channels. Monensin is a potent secretagogue and the mechanism by which the ensuing elevation of intracellular Na+ concentration might induce a secretory response remains to be determined.

Abstract
1. The action of muscarine on membrane currents and cytosolic calcium (Ca2+) of dissociated rat adrenal chromaffin cells was investigated using standard whole-cell voltage-clamp techniques and microfluorimetry of unclamped single cells. 2. In cells held at a constant holding potential negative to -40 mV, brief (5-10 s) applications of muscarine produced a transient activation of outward current. The activation of this current by muscarine also occurs in the presence of 5 mM-Co2+. 3. The outward current activated by muscarine at holding potentials negative to about -40 mV is blocked over 90% by either 200 microM-curare or 200 nM-apamin. One millimolar TEA produces variable blocking effects at such potentials. 4. The outward current activated by muscarine is transient even in the continuing presence of muscarine. Complete recovery between pairs of muscarine applications occurs over a 1-2 min period. If sufficient time was allowed for recovery between muscarine applications, the muscarine-activated outward current could be reliably elicited in dialysed cells for periods of 20-30 min. 5. Voltage ramps were used to examine effects of muscarine on currents over a range of membrane potentials. Over all potentials, muscarine activates a relatively voltage-independent component which is blocked almost completely by 200 nM-apamin and by 200 microM-curare. At potentials negative to about -40 mV, the apamin- and curare-sensitive current accounts for virtually all muscarine-activated current. This current appears to correspond to a Ca(2+)-activated, voltage-independent current found in these cells. Effects of muscarine on currents activated at potentials positive to 0 mV are complex. At potentials above 0 mV, muscarine can produce either an activation or an inhibition of outward current. The outward current activated at positive potentials was primarily voltage dependent and blocked by 1 mM-TEA. However, in some cells activation of voltage-dependent current was not observed and, in such cases, muscarine produced an inactivation of the voltage-dependent component of current. The inactivation of outward current could also be observed in the presence of 5 mM-Co2+ indicating that the inactivation does not occur secondarily to an effect of muscarine on Ca2+ current. The possibility is discussed that the inactivation of outward current occurs as a result of intrinsic inactivation properties of the voltage-dependent Ca(2+)-dependent K+ current. According to this hypothesis, the extent to which inactivation of voltage-dependent outward current is observed depends on the magnitude of the muscarine-induced cytosolic Ca2+ elevation and the level of depolarization of the cell.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
1. The activation of calcium (Ca2+)-dependent potassium (K+) currents in dissociated rat adrenal chromaffin cells was investigated using the dialysed cell recording technique. 2. Ca(2+)-dependent K+ current was the major component of outward current at command potentials from -30 mV to about +50 mV. 3. Two components of Ca(2+)-dependent outward current could be distinguished based on the voltage dependence of activation, the properties of tail currents following repolarization, and pharmacological properties. 4. One Ca(2+)-dependent current was similar to an after-hyperpolarization current (often termed IAHP) observed in other cell types. This current was largely blocked by 200 nM-apamin or 200 microM-curare, was associated with slow Ca(2+)-dependent tail current, and exhibited little dependence on voltage. In cells with cytosolic Ca2+ buffered to 500 nM-1 microM, curare-sensitive current accounted for most of the membrane current at potentials negative to about -40 mV. 5. A second component of Ca(2+)-activated K+ current exhibited voltage-dependent activation, was completely blocked by 1 mM-TEA, and turned off rapidly following repolarization. An unusual aspect of the TEA-sensitive currents was that they appeared to inactivate under conditions of constant cytosolic Ca2+. 6. A novel observation during these experiments was a slow hump of outward current which appears to result from a non-monotonic elevation in cytosolic Ca2+ during prolonged voltage jumps.

Abstract
The effects of ryanodine, a selective inhibitor of the Ca(2+)-induced Ca2+ release mechanism, on caffeine-evoked changes in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) and catecholamine secretion were investigated using cultured bovine adrenal chromaffin cells. Caffeine (5-40 mM) caused a concentration-dependent transient rise in [Ca2+]i and catecholamine secretion in Ca2+/Mg(2+)-free medium containing 0.2 mM EGTA. Ryanodine (5 x 10(-5) M) alone had no effect on either [Ca2+]i or catecholamine secretion. Although the application of ryanodine plus caffeine caused the same increase in both [Ca2+]i and catecholamine secretion as those induced by caffeine alone, ryanodine (4 x 10(-7) - 5 x 10(-5) M) irreversibly prevented the increase in both [Ca2+]i and catecholamine secretion resulting from subsequent caffeine application over a range of concentrations. The secretory response to caffeine was markedly enhanced by replacement of Na+ with sucrose in Ca2+/Mg(2+)-free medium, and this enhanced response was also blocked by ryanodine. Caffeine was found to decrease the susceptibility of the secretory apparatus to Ca2+ in digitonin-permeabilized cells. These results indicate that caffeine mobilizes Ca2+ from intracellular stores, the function of which is irreversibly blocked by ryanodine, resulting in the increase in catecholamine secretion in the bovine adrenal chromaffin cell.

Abstract
In single bovine adrenal chromaffin cells loaded with fura-2, histamine, angiotensin II (AII) and caffeine elicited large transient increases of intracellular free Ca2+ concentration [( Ca2+]i) in the absence of external Ca2+, with peak amplitudes averaging 726 +/- 138 (n = 14), 710 +/- 102 (n = 21) and 830 +/- 100 nM (n = 30) respectively. A substantial portion of the agonist-induced rise in [Ca2+]i depended on Ca2+ release from caffeine-sensitive stores, as pretreatment with caffeine diminished subsequent agonist responses by 90-95%. Conversely, pretreatment with histamine or AII decreased subsequent caffeine responses by 100% and 90% respectively. The effects of caffeine most likely resulted from activation of a Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+)-release (CICR) process, whereas histamine and AII initially acted through generation of Ins(1,4,5)P3. The relationship of Ins(1,4,5)P3- and caffeine-sensitive Ca2+ pools was studied by using alpha-toxin-permeabilized chromaffin cells. Evidence was found for three non-mitochondrial, ATP-dependent, Ca2+ pools: one exclusively sensitive to Ins(1,4,5)P3 (pool 1), a second sensitive to both Ins(1,4,5)P3 and caffeine (pool 2), and a third exclusively sensitive to caffeine (pool 3). The existence of pools 1 and 3, and the ability of agonists such as histamine to discharge pool 3 completely, supports a two-pool model in which a caffeine-sensitive CICR mechanism plays a major role in the generation of agonist-induced Ca2+ spikes in bovine chromaffin cells.

Abstract
The effect of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins-(1,4,5)P3] and caffeine on Ca2+ release from digitonin-permeabilised bovine adrenal chromaffin cells was examined by using the Ca2+ indicator fura-2 to monitor [Ca2+]. Permeabilised cells accumulated Ca2+ in the presence of ATP and addition of either Ins(1,4,5)P3 or caffeine released 17% or 40-50%, respectively, of the accumulated Ca2+, indicated by sustained rises in [Ca2+] in the cell suspension. Prior addition of Ins(1,4,5)P3 had no effect on the magnitude of the response to a subsequent addition of caffeine. The response to Ins(1,4,5)P3 was prevented by prior addition of caffeine or CaCl2, indicating that the Ins(1,4,5)P3 response was blocked by elevated [Ca2+]. The responses were essentially identical in the presence of the proton ionophore carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone, indicating that the Ca2+ release was not from mitochondria or secretory granules and that a proton gradient was not required for Ca2+ accumulation into the Ins(1,4,5)P3- or caffeine-sensitive stores. Ca2+ release from the caffeine-sensitive store was selectively blocked by ryanodine. The Ins(1,4,5)P3-sensitive store was emptied by thapsigargin, which had no effect on caffeine responses. These data suggest that permeabilised chromaffin cells possess two distinct nonoverlapping Ca2+ stores sensitive to either Ins(1,4,5)P3 or caffeine and support previous conclusions that these stores possess different Ca2(+)-ATPases.

Abstract
1. Intracellular mechanisms and second messengers involved in chloride current activation by intracellular GTP gamma S (guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate] in bovine chromaffin cells were studied using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique combined with measurements of intracellular calcium [Ca2+]i. 2. No correlation between the time of current activation and the appearance of [Ca2+]i transients was observed; intracellular introduction of sufficient EGTA (10 mM) to suppress the [Ca2+]i transients did not affect the current activation by GTP gamma S. 3. The cyclic nucleotides, cyclic AMP or cyclic GMP, did not activate the current when introduced intracellularly (50-250 microM). The ability of GTP gamma S to activate the current decreased when cyclic GMP (250 microM), together with MgATP (2 mM), was added to the perfusate. 4. Neomycin (0.5-1 mM), a presumed inhibitor of phospholipase C effectively prevented the current activation by GTP gamma S but it did not prevent [Ca2+]i transients. 5. Modulation of protein kinase C activity using specific inhibitors (H-7, 300 microM; polymyxin B, 400 U/ml) or activators (phorbol ester PMA, 100 nM, 20-90 min at 37 degrees C) did not affect the current activation by GTP gamma S nor did it cause current activation in the absence of GTP gamma S. 6. Activation of the current by GTP gamma S could be prevented by incubating the cells for 10-15 min with 2.5 microM p-bromophenacyl bromide (p-BPB), an inhibitor of phospholipase A2 activity. Exogenous arachidonic acid (5-10 microM), applied extracellularly or intracellularly, neither activated the current itself nor did it interfere with its activation by GTP gamma S. 7. Activation of the current by GTP gamma S could also be prevented by incubating the cells with 1 microM-nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA), an inhibitor of lipoxygenase, but not with indomethacin (2 microM), an inhibitor of cyclo-oxygenase pathway of arachidonic acid metabolism. 8. It is suggested that chloride current activation by GTP gamma S in bovine chromaffin cells involves G protein-mediated stimulation of phospholipase A2 activity and subsequent formation of lipoxygenase product(s) of arachidonic acid metabolism.

Abstract
Previous studies from our laboratory suggest that protein kinase C (PKC) is involved in the angiotensin II (AII)-induced increase in the expression of genes encoding proenkephalin and catecholamine biosynthesizing enzymes in primary cultured bovine adrenal medullary (BAM) cells. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of [Sar1]-AII (S1-AII), an AII agonist, on PKC activity in BAM cells. Thirty-minute incubation with S1-AII produced a dose-dependent activation of PKC. The particulate PKC activity was significantly increased by 2 nM S1-AII after both 30 min and 12 h of incubation. A high concentration of S1-AII (200 nM) caused an increase in particulate PKC activity after 30 min of incubation and this increase was still observed after 18 h of continuous incubation. [Sar1, Thr8]-angiotensin II (S1, T8-AII) (100 microM), an AII antagonist, inhibited the effect of S1-AII (20 nM) on PKC activity, suggesting a specific AII receptor-mediated effect. An increase in BAM cell particulate PKC immunoreactivity after 18 h of S1-AII treatment was observed in Western blot analysis of PKC-immunoreactive protein (82 kDa). The persistent activation of PKC seen in this study is consistent with our hypothesis that PKC may mediate the S1-AII-induced increase in the expression of genes encoding proenkephalin and catecholamine synthesizing enzymes in BAM cells.

Abstract
In previous studies it has been shown that both bradykinin and histamine increase the formation of 3H-labeled inositol phosphates in adrenal chromaffin cells prelabelled with [3H]inositol and that both these agonists stimulate release of catecholamines by a mechanism dependent on extracellular calcium. Here, we have used mass assays of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3] and inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate [Ins(1,3,4,5)P4] to investigate changes in levels of these two candidates as second messengers in response to stimulation with bradykinin and histamine. Bradykinin increased the mass of Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 despite the failure in earlier studies with [3H]inositol-labelled cells to observe a bradykinin-mediated increase in content of [3H]InsP4. Bradykinin elicited a very rapid increase in level of Ins(1,4,5)P3, which was maximal at 5-10 s and then rapidly decreased to a small but sustained elevation at 2 min. The bradykinin-elicited Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 response increased to a maximum at 30-60 s and at 2 min was still elevated severalfold above basal levels. Histamine, which produced a larger overall total inositol phosphate response in [3H]inositol-loaded cells, produced significantly smaller Ins(1,4,5)P3 and Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 responses compared with bradykinin. The bradykinin stimulation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 accumulation was partially dependent on a high (1.8 mM) extracellular Ca2+ concentration, whereas the Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 response was almost completely lost when the extracellular Ca2+ concentration was reduced to 100 nM. Changes in the inositol polyphosphate second messengers are compared with the time course of bradykinin-stimulated increases in free intracellular Ca2+ concentrations and noradrenaline release.

Abstract
The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)-induced Ca2+ release was studied using streptolysin O-permeabilized bovine adrenal chromaffin cells. The IP3-induced Ca2+ release was followed by Ca2+ reuptake into intracellular compartments. The IP3-induced Ca2+ release diminished after sequential applications of the same amount of IP3. Addition of 20 microM GTP fully restored the sensitivity to IP3. Guanosine 5'-O-(3-thio)triphosphate (GTP gamma S) could not replace GTP but prevented the action of GTP. The effects of GTP and GTP gamma S were reversible. Neither GTP nor GTP gamma S induced release of Ca2+ in the absence of IP3. The amount of Ca2+ whose release was induced by IP3 depended on the free Ca2+ concentration of the medium. At 0.3 microM free Ca2+, a half-maximal Ca2+ no Ca2+ release was observed with 0.1 microM IP3; at this Ca2+ concentration, higher concentrations of IP3 (0.25 microM) were required to evoke Ca2+ release. At 8 microM free Ca2+, even 0.25 microM IP3 failed to induce release of Ca2+ from the store. The IP3-induced Ca2+ release at constant low (0.2 microM) free Ca2+ concentrations correlated directly with the amount of stored Ca2+. depending on the filling state of the intracellular compartment, 1 mol of IP3 induced release of between 5 and 30 mol of Ca2+.

Abstract
The effects of Ca2+ and GTP on the release of Ca2+ from the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) sensitive Ca2+ compartment were investigated with digitonin permeabilized rat pancreatic acinar cells. The amount of Ca2+ released due to IP3 directly correlated with the amount of stored Ca2+ and was found to be inversely proportional to the medium free Ca2+ concentration. Ca2+ release induced by 0.18 microM IP3 was half maximally inhibited at 0.5 microM free Ca2+, i.e. at concentrations observed in the cytosol of pancreatic acinar cells. GTP did not cause Ca2+ release on its own, but a single addition of GTP (20 microM) abolished the apparent desensitization of the Ca2+ release which was observed during repeated IP3 applications. This effect of GTP was reversible. GTP gamma S could not replace GTP. Desensitization still occurred when GTP gamma S was added prior to GTP. The reported data indicate that GTP, stored Ca2+ and cytosolic free Ca2+ modulate the IP3 induced Ca2+ release.

Abstract
1. The role of Na+ in muscarinic receptor-mediated catecholamine secretion, which is independent of extracellular Ca2+, was investigated by observing the effect of veratridine and ouabain in perfused adrenal glands of the cat. 2. Veratridine (10(-4) M) markedly enhanced catecholamine secretion evoked by acetylcholine (ACh, 10(-4) M) during perfusion with Ca2(+)-free Locke solution containing hexamethonium (10(-3) M). The enhancement tended to be larger for noradrenaline secretion than for adrenaline secretion. Qualitatively the same result was obtained in the response to pilocarpine (5 x 10(-4) M). 3. Ouabain (10(-4) M) also enhanced ACh- and pilocarpine-induced catecholamine secretions, especially noradrenaline secretion in the absence of extracellular Ca2+. 4. Tetrodotoxin (10(-6) M) blocked the enhancing effect of veratridine on ACh-induced catecholamine secretion, but not that of ouabain in the absence of extracellular Ca2+. 5. When NaCl was replaced with sucrose, there was no secretory response to ACh regardless of the presence or absence of veratridine or ouabain. However, when ouabain, but not veratridine, was infused with Na+ before the replacement of NaCl, the response to ACh was substantially augmented. 6. These results indicate that Na+ is essential in the initiation of muscarinic receptor-mediated catecholamine secretion and its enhancement by veratridine and ouabain in the absence of extracellular Ca2+. Both drugs seem to increase the intracellular concentration of Na+ through different mechanisms and result in increases in the efficiency of Ca2+ mobilization from intracellular Ca2+ pools linked to muscarinic receptors.

Abstract
We investigated the intracellular signals underlying the neurotrophic response of adult bovine chromaffin cells to histamine and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). Histamine produced significant neurite outgrowth within 48 hr, whereas the response to bFGF developed after 1 week. H7, a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor potentiated both the histamine and the bFGF responses, while another PKC antagonist, staurosporine, induced a rapid and efficient differentiation response when applied alone. These observations suggest that basal PKC activity is required for stabilization of the endocrine phenotype in these cells. They contrast with findings on NGF induction of neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells where PKC promotes differentiation, apparently by activating the fos/jun complex. Thus, we examined the role of c-fos in our model. Both histamine and bFGF induced c-fos gene expression transiently. To determine whether increased levels of c-fos oncoprotein were essential to the differentiation process, we used a hybrid arrest approach employing an innovative transfection technique applicable to primary culture systems. Transfection with plasmid pSVsof, producing antisense c-fos mRNA, reduced c-fos oncoprotein levels but did not diminish histamine-induced neurite outgrowth. We infer that histamine-induced differentiation in bovine chromaffin cells is independent of increased levels of c-fos oncoprotein.

Abstract
Bovine adrenal chromaffin cells (BCC) were used to compare histamine- and angiotensin II-induced changes of inositol mono-, bis-, and trisphosphate (InsP1, InsP2, and InsP3, respectively) isomers, intracellular free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i), and the pathways of inositol phosphate metabolism. Both agonists elevated [Ca2+]i by 200 nM 3-4 s after addition, but afterwards the histamine response was much more prolonged. Histamine and angiotensin II also produced similar four- to fivefold increases of Ins(1,4,5)P3 that peaked within 5 s. Over the first minute of stimulation, however, Ins(1,4,5)P3 formation was monophasic after angiotensin II, but biphasic after histamine, evidence supporting differential regulation of angiotensin II- and histamine-stimulated signal transduction. The metabolism of Ins(1,4,5)P3 by BCC homogenates was found to proceed via (a) sequential dephosphorylation to Ins(1,4)P2 and Ins(4)P, and (b) phosphorylation to inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate, followed by dephosphorylation to Ins(1,3,4)P3, Ins(1,3)P2, and Ins(3,4)P2, and finally to Ins(1 or 3)P. In whole cells, Ins(1 or 3)P only increased after histamine treatment. Additionally, Ins(1,3)P2 was the only other InsP2 besides Ins(1,4)P2 to accumulate within 1 min of agonist treatment [Ins(3,4)P2 did not increase]. These results support a correlation between the time course of Ins(1,4,5)P3 formation and the time course of [Ca2+]i transients and illustrate that Ca2(+)-mobilizing agonists can produce distinguishable patterns of inositol phosphate formation and [Ca2+]i changes in BCC. Different patterns of second-messenger formation are likely to be important in signal recognition and may encode agonist-specific information.

Abstract
Stimulations of chromaffin cells with histamine and ionomycin produced rises in cellular free Ca2+ level. The removal of Na+ ions from the medium prolongated the rises without changing the magnitude. The stimulations also facilitated 45Ca2+ efflux from cells by over 3-fold. The facilitation was, however, largely abolished by the Na+ removal, indicating the Na(+)-dependent efflux is a major system to expel Ca2+ from the stimulated cells. The Na+ removal also enhanced secretions evoked by these stimuli. The results suggest the Na(+)-dependent Ca2+ efflux by lowering the elevated cellular Ca2+ plays a role in terminating the stimulus-induced secretion.

Abstract
Inositol trisphosphate (IP3), a product of the phosphoinositide cycle, mobilizes intracellular Ca2+ in many cell types. New evidence suggests that inositol tetrakisphosphate (IP4), an IP3 derivative, may act as another second messenger to further alter calcium homeostasis. However, the function and mechanism of action of IP4 are presently unresolved. We now report evidence of muscarinic receptor-mediated accumulation of IP4 in bovine adrenal chromaffin cells, a classic neurosecretory system in which calcium movements have been well studied. Muscarine (0.4 mM) stimulated an increase in [3H]IP4 and [3H]IP3 accumulation in chromaffin cells and this effect was completely blocked by atropine (0.5 mM). [3H]IP4 accumulation was detectable within 15 sec, increased to a maximum by 30 sec and thereafter declined. 2,3-diphosphoglycerate, an inhibitor of IP3 and IP4 hydrolysis, enhanced accumulation of these inositol polyphosphates. The results provide the first evidence of a rapid inositol tetrakisphosphate response in adrenal chromaffin cells, which should facilitate the future resolution of the relationship between IP4 and calcium homeostasis.

Abstract
A large body of evidence supports the concept that calcium (Ca2+) plays a pivotal role in the control of exocytosis. However, recent experiments suggest that a rise in intracellular Ca2+ does not necessarily trigger secretion, and also that secretion can occur independently of cytosolic free calcium levels. This article briefly summarizes the early evidence that has formulated the role of Ca2+ in secretion, and then examines some of the recent evidence suggesting a Ca2+-independent mechanism of exocytosis.

Abstract
The effects of ethanol on ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins-P3)-induced Ca2+ release were assessed in rat cerebellar and cortical microsomes. Ins-P3, 0.2-10 microM, released 7-14% of ATP loaded microsomal Ca2+ stores after a 15-sec exposure. Ethanol, 250-750 mM, added after ATP-dependent loading, significantly released microsomal Ca2+ stores, and the amount released was additive to that seen with Ins-P3 alone. The presence of ethanol, 250-750 mM, during the ATP-dependent loading period, resulted in decreased Ca2+ uptake that correlated with decreases in Ins-P3-induced Ca2+ release. Chronic ethanol treatment failed to produce any alterations in ethanol's ability to promote Ca2+ release or to inhibit ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake. Furthermore, Ins.-P3-induced Ca2+ release was not altered by chronic ethanol treatment. These results suggest that Ins-P3 sensitive Ca2+ stores are resistant to pharmacologically relevant concentrations of ethanol, and do not appear to be involved in the chronic cellular effects of ethanol.

Abstract
When [3H]inositol prelabelled cultured bovine adrenal chromaffin cells were stimulated with 56 mM KCl (high K+), 300 microM carbamylcholine (CCh) or 10 microM angiotensin II (Ang II), a rapid accumulation of [3H]IP3 was observed. At the same time, high K+ or CCh induced rapid increases in 45Ca2+ uptake, but Ang II did not induce a significant 45Ca2+ uptake. The concentration-response curve for KCl-induced [3H]IP3 accumulation coincided well with that for KCl-induced 45Ca2+ uptake into the cells. Nifedipine, a Ca2+ channel antagonist, inhibited the high K(+)-induced [3H]IP3 accumulation and 45Ca2+ uptake with a similar potency. Nifedipine at a similar concentration range also inhibited CCh-induced 45Ca2+ uptake. Although nifedipine inhibited CCh-induced [3H]IP3 accumulation, the potency was approximately 300-fold less than that for the inhibition of 45Ca2+ uptake. Nifedipine failed to affect the Ang II-induced [3H]IP3 accumulation. BAY K 8644 (2 microM), a Ca2+ channel activator, plus partially depolarizing concentration of KCl (14 mM), induced 45Ca2+ uptake and [3H]IP3 accumulation. Ionomycin (1 microM and 10 microM), a Ca2+ ionophore, also induced 45Ca2+ uptake and [3H]IP3 accumulation in a concentration-dependent manner. Pretreatment of the cells with protein kinase C activator, 100 nM 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate, for 10 min, partially inhibited CCh and Ang II-induced [3H]IP3 accumulation, but failed to inhibit the high K(+)-induced accumulation. Furthermore, the effects of high K+ and Ang II on the IP3 accumulation was additive. Ang II and CCh induced a rapid and transient increase in inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (1,4,5-IP3) accumulation (5 s) followed by a slower accumulation of inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate (1,3,4-IP3). High K+ evoked an increase in 1,3,4-IP3 accumulation but obvious accumulation of 1,4,5-IP3 could not be detected. In Ca2(+)-depleted medium, high K(+)-induced [3H]IP3 accumulation was completely abolished, whereas [3H]IP3 accumulation induced by CCh and Ang II was partially inhibited. These results demonstrate the existence of the Ca2+ uptake-triggered mechanism of IP3 accumulation represented by high K+, and also the Ca2+ uptake-independent mechanism of IP3 accumulation represented by Ang II in cultured bovine adrenal chromaffin cells. Mechanism of CCh-induced IP3 accumulation has an intermediate property between those of high K+ and Ang II.

Abstract
The effect of phorbol esters and forskolin pretreatment on basal and histamine-induced accumulation of inositol phosphates and catecholamine release was examined in cultures of bovine adrenal chromaffin cells. Histamine caused a dose-dependent, Ca2+-dependent accumulation of total inositol phosphates with an EC50 at approximately 1 microM and an eight- to 10-fold increase at 100 microM within 30 min of incubation. Histamine (10 microM) also caused the release of cellular catecholamines amounting to some 2.8% of cellular stores released over a 20-min period. Both the inositol phosphate and catecholamine responses were completely blocked by the H1-antagonist mepyramine and were insensitive to the H2-antagonist cimetidine. Examination of the time course of accumulation of the individual inositol phosphates stimulated by histamine revealed an early and sustained rise in inositol 1,4-bisphosphate content but not inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate content at 1 min and the overall largest accumulation of inositol monophosphate after 30 min of stimulation. Pretreatment with the tumor-promoting phorbol ester phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) resulted in a dose-dependent, time-dependent inhibition of histamine-induced inositol phosphate formation and catecholamine secretion. In this inhibitory action, PMA exhibited high potency (IC50 of approximately 0.5 nM), an effect not shared by the inactive phorbol ester 4-alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate. Pretreatment with forskolin, on the other hand, only marginally inhibited the histamine-induced inositol phospholipid metabolism and catecholamine secretion. These data suggest that protein kinase C activation in chromaffin cells may mediate a negative feedback control on inositol phospholipid metabolism.
