title: Persistent increase in the amount of aquaporin-5 in the apical plasma membrane of rat parotid acinar cells induced by a muscarinic agonist SNI-2011.
abstract: SNI-2011 induces the long-lasting increase in the amount of aquaporin-5 (AQP5) in apical plasma membranes (APMs) of rat parotid acini in a concentration-dependent manner. This induction was inhibited by p-F-HHSiD, U73122, TMB-8, or dantrolene but not by bisindolmaleimide or H-7, indicating that SNI-2011 acting at M(3) muscarinic receptors induced translocation of AQP5 via [Ca(2+)](i) elevation but not via the activation of protein kinase C. In contrast, acetylcholine induced a transient translocation of AQP5 to APMs. SNI-2011 induces long-lasting oscillations of [Ca(2+)](i) in the presence of extracellular Ca(2+). Thus, SNI-2011 induces a long-lasting translocation of AQP5 to APMs coupled with persistent [Ca(2+)](i) oscillations.
