The in vitro characterization of cholinergic receptors in dispersed rat parotid acinar cells was accomplished through investigations of the net transmembrane fluxes of K in response to exposure of the cells to selected cholinergic agonists and antagonists. Interaction of acetylcholine bromide (ACh) and carbamylcholine (carbachol) with the cholinergic receptors resulted in rapid net efflux of K from the cells. This cellular response was demonstrable in concentrations of carbachol as low as 10(-8) M. With gradual increase in the concentrations of the agonist an increase in the K efflux was observed up to 10(-5) M. At higher concentrations of this cholinergic agonist no further increases in the net K efflux were observed. The response of the cells to cholinergic agonists was inhibited by atropine but not by the adrenergic antagonists phentolamine or propranolol, suggesting cholinergic agonist-antagonist interactions at the receptor site. The dispersed rat parotid acinar cells appear to have functionally intact cholinergic receptors and could be used as valuable experimental tools for the study of receptor physiology and pharmacology as well as of other aspects of secretory function at the cellular level.

Previous studies from our laboratory have shown a close correlation between increased Na+-K+-2Cl−cotransporter activity and increased cotransporter phosphorylation after β-adrenergic stimulation of rat parotid acinar cells. We demonstrate here that these effects are paralleled by an increase in the number of high-affinity binding sites for the cotransporter inhibitor bumetanide in membranes prepared from stimulated acini. We also show that the sensitivity of cotransporter fluxes to inhibition by bumetanide is the same in both resting and isoproterenol-stimulated cells, consistent with the hypothesis that β-adrenergic stimulation and the accompanying phosphorylation result in the activation of previously quiescent transporters rather than in a change in the properties of already active proteins. In addition, we demonstrate that the increased phosphorylation on the cotransporter resulting from β-adrenergic stimulation is localized to a 30-kDa phosphopeptide obtained by cyanogen bromide digestion. Immunoprecipitation and Western blotting experiments demonstrate that this peptide is derived from the NH2-terminal cytosolic tail of the cotransporter, which surprisingly does not contain the sole protein kinase A consensus site on the molecule.

The in vitro characterization of adrenergic receptors in isolated rat parotid acinar cells was accomplished through investigations of the transmembrane influxes of K and of the secretion of amylase in response to interactions of the cells with selected agonists and antagonists. Interaction of epinephrine (EPI) at concentrations of 10(-3)-10(-9) M with the alpha-adrenergic receptors resulted in rapid efflux of K from the cells. This effect was inhibited by phentolamine but not by propranolol or atropine. The process of secretion of amylase by these cells involved the activation of the beta-adrenergic receptors by the adrenergic agonists DL-isoproterenol (IPR) and EPI at similar to above concentrations. The interaction of these agonists with the beta receptors was inhibited by propranolol but not by phentolamine or atropine. Dibutyryl clclic AMP stimulated secretion of amylase at concentrations of 10(-8) M. A progressive increase in the secretory response of the cells was observed with increases in the dibutyryl cyclic AMP concentrations up to 10(-5) M. This effect was not inhibited by propranolol. This study demonstrates that dispersed rat parotid acinar cells have functionally intact adrenergic receptors and could be used as experimental tools for the studies of receptor physiology and pharmacology as well as other aspects of secretion at the cellular level.

beta-Adrenergic stimulation of rat parotid acinar cells markedly increases [3H]mannose incorporation into N-linked glycoproteins [Kousvelari, Grant, Banerjee, Newby & Baum (1984) Biochem. J. 222, 17-24]. More than 90% of this protein-bound [3H]mannose was preferentially incorporated into four secretory glycoproteins. The ratio of [3H]mannose/[14C]leucine present in these individual proteins was 1.7-4-fold greater with isoproterenol-treated cells than with untreated controls. In isoproterenol-stimulated cells, [3H]mannose incorporation into mannosylphosphoryl dolichol and oligosaccharide-PP-dolichol was increased 2-3-fold over that observed in unstimulated cells. Similarly, formation of mannosylated oligosaccharide-PP-dolichol was increased approx. 4-fold in microsomes prepared from isoproterenol-treated cells. Also, turnover of oligosaccharide-PP-dolichol was significantly increased (5-fold) by β-adrenergic stimulation; the half-life for oligosaccharide-PP-dolichol decreased from 6 min in control cells to 1.2 min in isoproterenol-stimulated cells. By 15 min after isoproterenol addition to acinar cells, the specific radioactivity of parotid oligosaccharide moieties increased about 3-fold over the value observed in the absence of the agonist. Taken together, these results strongly suggest that elevation of N-linked protein glycosylation in rat parotid acinar cells after β-adrenoreceptor stimulation resulted from significant enhancement in the synthesis of mannosylphosphoryl dolichol and oligosaccharide-PP-dolichol and the turnover of oligosaccharide-PP-dolichol.
