title: Involvement of Ca2+ influx in F(-)-stimulated pepsinogen release from guinea pig gastric chief cells.
abstract: In isolated guinea pig gastric chief cells, pepsinogen release was stimulated by NaF in a dose-dependent manner. Cholecystokinin (CCK) and Ca2+ ionophore A23187 had no additional effect on NaF-stimulated pepsinogen release. CCK caused a rapid increase in intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) monitored by Quin-2 and markedly stimulated inositol phosphate accumulation in chief cells. By contrast, NaF did not cause any change in [Ca2+]i. NaF, even at a maximal concentration for pepsinogen release, appeared to be relatively ineffective on inositol phosphate accumulation. On the other hand, NaF markedly stimulated Ca2+ influx into chief cells. These results suggest that F- stimulates pepsinogen release probably by increasing Ca2+ influx into chief cells. Since F- is a well known activator of guanine nucleotide regulatory proteins (G proteins), it is proposed that there may exist a G protein regulating the opening of Ca2+ channel in gastric chief cells.
