title: Protein kinase C differentially inhibits muscarinic receptor operated Ca2+ release and entry in human salivary cells.
abstract: We investigated the effects of phorbol myristate acetate on muscarinic receptor-induced Ca2+ release from intracellular stores and extracellular entry in a human salivary duct cell line, HSG-PA. Phorbol myristate acetate (approximately 10(-7) M) blocked both Ca2+ release and Ca2+ entry induced by the muscarinic agonist carbachol. This blockade was the result of the activation of protein kinase C since 4 alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate, which lacks the ability to activate protein kinase C, did not inhibit Ca2+ mobilization responses to carbachol. Importantly, at lower phorbol myristate acetate concentrations (approximately 10(-9) M), carbachol-induced Ca2+ release was blocked, but carbachol-induced Ca2+ entry was maintained. These results show that carbachol-induced Ca2+ entry does not occur via an intracellular store and that protein kinase C plays a role in a feedback control mechanism for muscarinic-induced Ca2+ mobilization at different levels.
