title: Phorbol ester inhibits cholecystokinin octapeptide-induced amylase secretion and calcium mobilization, but is without effect on secretagogue-induced hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate in rabbit pancreatic acini.
abstract: The effect of prolonged protein kinase C activation on cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8)-induced amylase secretion from rabbit pancreatic acini was studied by means of the phorbol ester, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA). The phorbol ester itself increased basal amylase secretion but inhibited completely the secretory response to relatively low concentrations of CCK-8. The inhibitory action of TPA on CCK-8-induced amylase secretion was paralleled by inhibition of CCK-8-induced calcium mobilization but not by inhibition of CCK-8-induced breakdown of 32P-labelled phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. The results presented suggest that protein kinase C, or one of its phosphorylated products, inhibits the CCK-8-stimulated pathway leading to secretion at a level beyond the secretagogue-induced hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. Inhibition of the initial, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-mediated and extracellular calcium-independent, increase in free cytosolic calcium concentration, together with the findings of others, suggests that the efficacy of this inositol-phosphate to release calcium is reduced.
