Abstract

PURPOSE
In non-excitable cells, which include parotid and pancreatic acinar cells, Ca(2+) entry is triggered via a mechanism known as capacitative Ca(2+) entry, or store-operated Ca(2+) entry. This process is initiated by the perception of the filling state of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the depletion of internal Ca(2+) stores, which acts as an important factor triggering Ca(2+) entry. However, both the mechanism of store-mediated Ca(2+) entry and the molecular identity of store-operated Ca(2+) channel (SOCC) remain uncertain. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In the present study we investigated the Ca(2+) entry initiation site evoked by depletion of ER to identify the localization of SOCC in mouse parotid and pancreatic acinar cells with microfluorometeric imaging system. RESULTS: Treatment with thapsigargin (Tg), an inhibitor of sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase, in an extracellular Ca(2+) free state, and subsequent exposure to a high external calcium state evoked Ca(2+) entry, while treatment with lanthanum, a non-specific blocker of plasma Ca(2+) channel, completely blocked Tg-induced Ca(2+) entry. Microfluorometric imaging showed that Tg-induced Ca(2+) entry started at a basal membrane, not a apical membrane. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that Ca2+ entry by depletion of the ER initiates at the basal pole in polarized exocrine cells and may help to characterize the nature of SOCC.

Figure

  • Fig. 1 Measurement of thapsigargin-induced [Ca2+]i increases. A (a) and B (a): parotid and pancreatic acinar mouse cell responses, respectively, after depletion of internal Ca2+ stores with 1µM thapsigargin (Tg) in nominally Ca2+-free media. Cells were stimulated with 1mM carbachol, and then thapsigargin-induced [Ca2+]i increases were measured by exposure to external 7.5mM Ca2+. A (b) and B (b): parotid and pancreatic acinar mouse cell responses, respectively, after the cells were treated with 1mM lanthanum before exposure to external high Ca2+. Each result was the Trepresentative of 5 independent experiments.
