Stimulation Of

The inositol trisphosphate liberated on stimulation of guinea-pig hepatocytes, pancreatic acinar cells and dimethyl sulphoxide-differentiated human myelomonocytic HL-60 leukaemia cells is composed of two isomers, the 1,4,5-trisphosphate and the 1,3,4-trisphosphate. Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate was released rapidly, with no measurable latency on hormone stimulation, and, consistent with its proposed role as an intracellular messenger for Ca2+ mobilization, there was good temporal correlation between its formation and Ca2+-mediated events in these tissues. There was a definite latency before an increase in the formation of inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate could be detected. In all of these tissues, however, it formed a substantial proportion of the total inositol trisphosphate by 1 min of stimulation. In guinea-pig hepatocytes, where inositol trisphosphate increases for at least 30 min after hormone application, inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate made up about 90% of the total inositol trisphosphate by 5-10 min. In pancreatic acinar cells, pretreatment with 20 mM-Li+ caused an increase in hormone-induced inositol trisphosphate accumulation. This increase was accounted for by a rise in inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate; inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate was unaffected. This finding is consistent with the observation that Li+ has no effect on Ca2+-mediated responses in these cells. The role, if any, of inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate in cellular function is unknown.

In the cholecystokinin (CCK) hyperstimulation model of acute pancreatitis, two early intracellular events, activation of trypsinogen and activation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), are thought to be important in the development of the disease. In this study, the relationship between these two events was investigated. NF-κB activity was monitored by using a DNA binding assay and mob-1 chemokine gene expression. Intracellular trypsin activity was measured by using a fluorogenic substrate. Protease inhibitors including FUT-175, Pefabloc, and E-64d prevented CCK stimulation of intracellular trypsinogen and NF-κB activation. Likewise, the NF-κB inhibitors pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate and N-acetyl-l-cysteine inhibited CCK stimulation of NF-κB and intracellular trypsinogen activation. These results suggested a possible codependency of these two events. However, CCK stimulated NF-κB activation in Chinese hamster ovary-CCKAcells, which do not express trypsinogen, indicating that trypsin is not necessary for CCK activation of NF-κB. Furthermore, adenovirus-mediated expression in acinar cells of active p65 subunits to stimulate NF-κB, or of inhibitory κB-α molecules to inhibit NF-κB, did not affect either basal or CCK-mediated trypsinogen activation. Thus trypsinogen and NF-κB activation are independent events stimulated by CCK.

To help understand the possible role of phosphoinositide turnover in the desensitization process, the availability of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate was investigated in normal and desensitized pancreatic acinar cells treated with carbamylcholine (Cch), caerulein (Cae), and the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). In control acini, incorporation of [myo-3H]inositol into total phosphoinositides was maximal at 120 min, was Cch and Cae dose dependent, and was insensitive to TPA. Cch stimulation increased the proportion of [myo-3H]inositol incorporated into phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P2], whereas Cae specifically channeled [myo-3H]inositol incorporation into phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate and phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate. In the desensitized cells, preexposure to Cch and Cae, but not to TPA, increased the subsequent basal rate of [myo-3H]inositol incorporation into total phosphoinositol (PI) by 66 and 50% above control values. There were no subsequent responses to increasing concentrations of Cch, Cae, and TPA during a second incubation. Desensitization of the pancreatic secretory responses to Cch, Cae, and TPA does not seem to result from a decrease either in total PI or in specific PtdIns(4,5)P2 synthesis, which is needed for inositol trisphosphate and diacylglycerol production.

Recently, we showed that NO2- increases gap junction (GJ) permeability and synchronizes intracellular Ca2+ concentration oscillations in pancreatic acini (Loessburg et al., J. Biol. Chem. 268: 19769-19775, 1993). NO2- is also an end product of nitric oxide (NO) production and metabolism. Because of the effect of NO2- on GJ permeability and the possible importance of NO2- in NO metabolism and cytotoxicity, we used pancreatic acinar cells and intracellular pH (pHi) measurements to study the interaction of nitrogen oxides and NO2- with cellular proteins. Exposing cells to NO2- resulted in a concentration-dependent cytosolic acidification. The acidification did not require the transport of NO2- and was not mediated by diffusion of HNO2. Because the acidification was prevented by CO2-HCO3- and inhibition of carbonic anhydrase, it is possible that other nitrogen oxides present in a solution containing NO2- enter the cells by diffusion and interact with OH- or H2O to stably acidify the cytosol. NO2- itself is shown to be transported by the HCO3- transporters present in the plasma membrane. Thus manipulation of the cellular Cl- gradient and 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS) were used to show Cl-/NO2- exchange, whereas stimulation of external Na(+)-dependent amiloride-insensitive and DIDS-sensitive pHi increase in acidified cells was used to demonstrate a Na(+)-(NO2-)n cotransport. Hence NO2- can be a convenient substitute for HCO3- when studying HCO3- transport in an open system. The studies also show that cellular levels of nitrogen oxides and NO2- can be modulated by the cellular HCO3(-)-buffering system.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Cytosolic Acidification

We have used fluo 3-loaded mouse pancreatic acinar cells to investigate the relationship between Ca2+ mobilization and intracellular pH (pHi). The Ca2+-mobilizing agonist ACh (500 nM) induced a Ca2+ release in the luminal cell pole followed by spreading of the Ca2+ signal toward the basolateral side with a mean speed of 16.1 ± 0.3 μm/s. In the presence of an acidic pHi, achieved by blockade of the Na+/H+exchanger or by incubation of the cells in a Na+-free buffer, a slower spreading of ACh-evoked Ca2+ waves was observed (7.2 ± 0.6 μm/s and 7.5 ± 0.3 μm/s, respectively). The effects of cytosolic acidification on the propagation rate of ACh-evoked Ca2+ waves were largely reversible and were not dependent on the presence of extracellular Ca2+. A reduction in the spreading speed of Ca2+ waves could also be observed by inhibition of the vacuolar H+-ATPase with bafilomycin A1 (11.1 ± 0.6 μm/s), which did not lead to cytosolic acidification. In contrast, inhibition of the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase by 2,5-di- tert-butylhydroquinone led to faster spreading of the ACh-evoked Ca2+ signals (25.6 ± 1.8 μm/s), which was also reduced by cytosolic acidification or treatment of the cells with bafilomycin A1. Cytosolic alkalinization had no effect on the spreading speed of the Ca2+ signals. The data suggest that the propagation rate of ACh-induced Ca2+ waves is decreased by inhibition of Ca2+ release from intracellular stores due to cytosolic acidification or to Ca2+ pool alkalinization and/or to a decrease in the proton gradient directed from the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-sensitive Ca2+ pool to the cytosol.
