title: Process of re-establishment of beta-adrenergic induced protein secretion after cytochalasin D inhibition in rat parotid gland. Effect of cholinergic agonist, phorbol ester and calcium.
abstract: In rat parotid gland, 3H-protein secretion is stimulated by beta-adrenergic receptor activation (via cAMP) and also by cholinergic receptor activation (via IP3, calcium and diacylglycerol). The disorganization of microfilament system by cytochalasin D induced an inhibition of beta-adrenergic induced 3H-protein secretion whereas it did not modify the cholinergic muscarinic one. Cytochalasin D induced the formation of vacuoles in the parotid cell. In this work we show that the activation of muscarinic receptors (with carbachol) partially abolished the inhibitory effect of cytochalasin D on beta-adrenergic induced secretion. Since carbachol induced both intracellular calcium increase and protein kinase C activation, we decided to test separately the effect of calcium (using the calcium ionophore A23187) and protein kinase C activation (using phorbol ester) on the inhibitory effect of cytochalasin D on beta-adrenergic induced secretion. A23187, in the presence of calcium in the external medium was able to partially abolish cytochalasin D effect (ie re-establishing protein secretion) whereas activation of protein kinase C by phorbol 12-13 di-butyrate had no effect. These results suggest that protein kinase C is not involved in re-establishing a 'normal' secretion phenomenon whereas calcium does interfere. Furthermore, our fluorescence study shows that, when cytochalasin D is present in the incubation medium, the actin network is disturbed even in the presence of carbachol. This indicates that a calcium entry in the cell is not sufficient to restore a 'normal' actin network.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
