Facilitation of Ca2+-channel currents in bovine adrenal chromaffin cells.
Ca2+-channel currents in primary cultures of bovine adrenal chromaffin cells were studied using the whole-cell patch-clamp method. Parameters of a double-pulse protocol were systematically varied to characterize facilitation by a prepulse (P1) of Ca2+-channel current during a test pulse (P2). The pulses were usually separated by 30 msec, an interval sufficient for decay of any measurable P1 tai...
متن کاملChromostatin receptors control calcium channel activity in adrenal chromaffin cells.
One of the functions of chromogranin A (CGA), the major soluble component of secretory granules in both adrenal medullary chromaffin cells and many other endocrine cell types appears to be that of a prohormone. CGA is the precursor of several peptides including pancreastatin, a 49-residue peptide, and a 20-residue peptide, chromostatin, which have been identified as biologically active peptides...
متن کاملTiming of dense-core vesicle exocytosis depends on the facilitation L-type Ca channel in adrenal chromaffin cells.
Secretion from dense-core vesicles is reputedly much slower than that from typical synaptic vesicles, possibly because of noncolocalization of Ca channels and release sites. We reinvestigated this question by measuring the kinetics of catecholamine release in chromaffin cells from calf and adult bovines. Amperometric recording from calf chromaffin cells stimulated by action potentials exhibited...
متن کاملATP Serves as a Negative Feedback Inhibitor of Voltage-Gated Ca2+ Channel Currents in Cultured Bovine Adrenal Chromaffin Cells
Modulation of voltage-gated Ca(2+) channel current (I(Ca)) regulates secretion of catecholamines from adrenal chromaffin cells. Previous work demonstrated that I(Ca) can be augmented by phosphorylation to increase secretion or that inhibition of I(Ca) results in diminished catecholamine secretion. In the current manuscript, we show that stimulation of chromaffin cells results in the release of ...
متن کاملKinetics of exocytosis in adrenal chromaffin cells.
Upon repetitive or maintained stimulation, chromaffin cells secrete catecholamines initially at a very high rate which then relaxes with multiple kinetic components. The complex kinetics are often modeled as resulting from the successive depletion of several functional pools of secretory granules which may reflect specific protein-mediated steps in granule maturation. The fastest component repr...
