Role of calcium in exocrine pancreatic secretion. I. Calcium movements in the rabbit pancreas
Abstract
1. Calcium movements in the isolated rabbit pancreas and in rabbit pancreas fragments have been studied with the aid of 4 5 Ca2+. 2. Addition of 4 5 Ca2+ to the incubation medium of the isolated rabbit pancreas results in an immediate appearance of isotope in the secreted fluid reaching a constant specific activity in 30 min. The absolute activity in the secreted fluid is 30-40% of that in the incubation medium. 3. Addition of 10(-5) M carbachol after 2 h preincubation with 4 5 Ca2+ results in enzyme secretion accompanied by calcium release. There is also an increase in 4 5 Ca2+ secretion, but this is maximal 10 min after the protein and total calcium peaks. 4. Partial removal of 4 5 Ca2+ from the bathing medium, before stimulation, reduces the increase in 4 5 Ca2+ secretion nearly proportionally. 5. [3H]Mannitol, added to the bathing medium, appears in the secreted fluid and behaves upon carbachol stimulation similarly to 4 5 Ca2+. 6. Upon repeated stimulation with 10(-5) M acetylcholine, a 4 5 Ca2+ peak appears, even in virtual absence of enzyme secretion. In this case the peak coincides with a small total calcium peak. 7. Efflux studies of rabbit pancreas fragments, preloaded with 4 5 Ca2+, show a carbachol-stimulated 4 5 Ca2+ efflux in addition to a release of amylase. 8. These studies indicate that there are three calcium movements in rabbit pancreas which can all be influenced by cholinergic agents: (a) an extracellular route for calcium and other small molecules and ions; (b) a calcium release across the apical membrane along with the enzymes, originating from a pool which does not freely exchange with 4 5 Ca2+ in the bath; (c) a calcium flux across the serosal membrane, which involves calcium exchanging freely with 4 5 Ca2+ from the bath. The third flux is thought to result from an increase in cytoplasmic calcium, which may be involved in the stimulus-secretion coupling of pancreatic enzyme secretion.
