title: Inhibition of amylase secretion from differentiated AR4-2J pancreatic acinar cells by an actin cytoskeleton controlled protein tyrosine phosphatase activity.
abstract: Disruption of the actin cytoskeleton in AR4-2J pancreatic acinar cells led to an increase in cytosolic protein tyrosine phosphatase activity, abolished bombesin-induced tyrosine phosphorylation and reduced bombesin-induced amylase secretion by about 45%. Furthermore, both tyrosine phosphorylation and amylase secretion induced by phorbol ester-induced activation of protein kinase C were abolished. An increase in the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration by the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 had no effect on tyrosine phosphorylation but induced amylase release. Only when added together with phorbol ester, the same level of amylase secretion as with bombesin was reached. This amylase secretion was inhibited by about 40%, by actin cytoskeleton disruption similar to that induced by bombesin. We conclude that actin cytoskeleton-controlled protein tyrosine phosphatase activity downstream of protein kinase C activity regulates tyrosine phosphorylation which in part is involved in bombesin-stimulated amylase secretion.
