title: Effects of phospholipase A2 inhibitors on Ca2+ oscillations in pancreatic acinar cells.
abstract: High-affinity cholecystokinin (CCK) receptors were reported to be coupled with phospholipase A2 (PLA2)-arachidonic acid (AA) pathways to mediate Ca2+ oscillations and amylase secretion in rat pancreatic acinar cells. To investigate which types of PLA2 were involved in PLA2-AA pathways, the effects of specific inhibitors for type II and type IV PLA2 on Ca2+ oscillations and amylase secretion were studied in isolated rat pancreatic acini. An inhibitor of type IV (cytosolic) PLA2, AACOCF3 inhibited Ca2+ oscillations elicited by CCK-8 (30 pM) and JMV-180 (100 nM). AACOCF3 inhibited amylase secretion stimulated by JMV-180 and low concentrations of CCK-8 (< or =30 pM). On the other hand, an inhibitor of type II (secretory, nonpancreatic) PLA2 had no effects on Ca2+ oscillations and amylase secretion stimulated by CCK-8 and JMV-180. These results suggest that high-affinity CCK receptors are coupled to cytosolic PLA2 to mediate Ca2+ oscillations and amylase secretion in rat pancreatic acinar cells.
