title: Phosphatidic acid production, required for cholecystokinin octapeptide-stimulated amylase secretion from pancreatic acinar AR42J cells, is regulated by a wortmannin-sensitive process.
abstract: To investigate the role of phospholipids in exocytotic secretory events, we utilized rat pancreatic acinar AR42J cells that secreted amylase in response to cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8). Wortmannin, an inhibitor of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), was found to inhibit the secretion in a dose-dependent manner. When changes in cell membrane phospholipids were investigated before and after CCK-8 stimulation using [32P]orthophosphoric acid-labeled AR42J cells, we observed a rapid increase in phosphatidic acid (PtdOH) levels right after stimulation, which was not observed in non-stimulated cells. The increase, however, was suppressed by wortmannin pre-treatment, which also inhibited amylase secretion. Changes in other major phospholipids were not significant. These results indicate that CCK-8 induces amylase secretion through PI3K-regulated production of PtdOH in cell membranes.
