Rapid formation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate in rat pancreatic acini stimulated by carbamylcholine.
Cholinergic stimulation of inositol phosphate formation was studied in isolated rat pancreatic acini, prelabelled with myo-[2-3H]inositol. Carbamylcholine increased incorporation of radioactivity into Ins(1,4,5)P3 and InsP4 within 5 s. Increases in [3H]Ins(1,3,4)P3 were delayed with marked stimulation occurring between 10 s and 1 min. Inositol polyphosphate formation was less sensitive to carbamylcholine concentration than was stimulation of amylase release. At a low (0.3 microM) carbamylcholine concentration, no increase in inositol polyphosphate formation was detected, whereas stimulation of amylase release, which was not dependent on extracellular calcium, was observed. Ins(1,4,5)P3 was shown to release actively accumulated 45Ca2+ from isolated rough endoplasmic reticulum membranes to a similar extent as that released from rough endoplasmic reticulum following cholinergic stimulation of pancreatic acini (Richardson, A.E. et al. (1984) Biochem. Soc. Trans. 12, 1066-1067). The data is consistent with Ins(1,4,5)P3 being produced rapidly enough to release sufficient calcium from the rough endoplasmic reticulum to cause an observed increases in cytoplasmic free Ca2+.
