title: Potentiation by ouabain of bradykinin-induced catecholamine secretion and calcium influx into cultured bovine adrenal chromaffin cells: evidence for involvement of Na+ influx associated with the bradykinin B2-receptor.
abstract: The effect of bradykinin (BK), in the presence of ouabain, an inhibitor of Na(+)-K+ ATPase, on catecholamine (CA) secretion was studied in cultured bovine adrenal chromaffin cells, to determine whether Na+, as well as Ca2+, is involved in BK-receptor mediated CA secretion. BK (10(-8)-10(-5) M)-induced CA secretion was markedly potentiated by addition of ouabain (10(-5) M), was blocked by a BK-B2 receptor antagonist, and was decreased in Ca(2+)-free medium. BK-induced increase in 45Ca2+ influx was also potentiated by addition of ouabain. The cultured cells were first incubated with BK for 30 min in Ca(2+)-free medium in the presence or absence of ouabain and then stimulated for 15 min with Ca(2+)-medium without BK or ouabain. Prior stimulation of the cells, BK induced 22Na+ influx and increased Ca(2+)-induced CA secretion and these stimulatory effects of BK were potentiated by added ouabain. When the cells were stimulated with BK and ouabain in Na(+)-free sucrose medium, the Ca(2+)-induced CA secretion was greatly reduced. These results indicated that activation of the BK-B2 receptor and inhibition of the Na+ pump both increase the intracellular Na+ level, resulting in increase in Ca2+ influx and CA secretion.
