Gap junctional coupling modulates secretion of exocrine pancreas.
Dispersed pancreatic acini were studied to assess the function of junctional coupling between adult secretory cells. Nonstimulated control cells were extensively coupled to their neighbors throughout each acinus. Addition of heptanol caused their uncoupling and increased their basal amylase release. Neurotensin, secretin, and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) stimulated amylase secretion with...
متن کاملStimulus-Secretion Coupling in the Developing Exocrine Pancreas: Secretory Responsiveness to Cholecystokinin
We have studied the onset of secretory responsiveness to cholecystokinin (CCK) during development of the rat exocrine pancreas. Although acinar cells of the fetal pancreas (1 d before birth) are filled with zymogen granules containing the secretory protein, a-amylase, the rate of amylase secretion from pancreatic lobutes incubated in vitro was not increased in response to CCK. In contrast, the ...

متن کاملUnstimulated Secretion of Protein from Rat Exocrine Pancreas Cells
Our earlier work demonstrated that the rate of protein synthesis in the exocrine cells of the rat pancreas is constant in different physiological states, including prolonged fasting. In this study we have followed the fate of the protein in the pancreatic cells of the fasting animal in vivo as well as in vitro. The data were obtained by quantitative radioautography and by biochemical determinat...
متن کاملLight increases the gap junctional coupling of retinal ganglion cells.
We examined the effect of light adaptation on the gap junctional coupling of α-ganglion cells (α-GCs) in rabbit and mouse retinas. We assayed changes in coupling by measuring parameters of tracer coupling following injection of α-GCs with Neurobiotin and the concerted spike activity of α-GC neighbours under dark- and light-adapted conditions. We found that light adaptation using mesopic or phot...
