title: [Effect of p-chloromercuribenzoic acid and dithiothreitol on the Ca(2+) content of salivary glands and their protein secretion].
abstract: It has been shown, less concentrations of p-chlormercuribenzoate (1 and 2.5 mM) increased Ca2+ content in gland tissue and thereby protein secretion level that may occurred mainly by suppression Ca(2+)-pump or/and stimulation of Na(+)-Ca(2+)-exchange (both in cell plasma membrane) through modulation of SH-groups which form part of their molecules. Higher PCMB concentrations markedly decreased Ca2+ content in gland tissue as well as protein secretion. Effects of PCMB (5 and 10 mM), depending on the direction of Na(+)-Ca(2+)-exchange functioning (Ca(2+)-efflux or Ca(2+)-influx), were evoked or presumably by suppression of endoplasma reticulum Ca(2+)-pump (at conditions Na(+)-dependent Ca(2+)-efflux) or Na(+)-dependent Ca(2+)-influx into the cells that clearly confirmed when PCMB was added on the background of eosin Y (specific Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitor). Possible role of potential dependent Ca(2+)-channnels in the mediating of PCMB effects is discussed. Introducing of dythiothreitol (DTT) increased Ca2+ content in glands and decreased secretion level obviously by protection of SH-groups of cell Ca(2+)-transporting systems and thereby diminished [Ca2+]i. Finally, we confirm important functional role of SH-groups in the regulation of Ca(2+)-homeostasis in secretory cells of exocrine glands.
