Phorbol ester stimulates amylase secretion from rat parotid cells.
Phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), a potent activator of Ca2+- and phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C), evoked amylase release from rat parotid cells. In dose-response studies, PMA stimulated amylase release independently of db-cAMP, but potentiated the effect of carbachol. PMA and A23187, a Ca2+ ionophore, synergistically increased amylase release. The maximum effect of carbachol was further enhanced by PMA but not by A23187, suggesting that protein kinase C is not fully activated by the muscarinic-cholinergic agonist under the condition where calcium is fully utilized for amylase secretion.
