Secretagogue induced calcium mobilization in single pancreatic acinar cells.
Microspectrofluorometry of fura-2 was utilized to monitor [Ca2+]i in single acinar cells stimulated with a cholinergic agonist and cholecystokinin. A similar amplitude of agonist induced Ca mobilization between single cell and populational approaches was observed. New findings in single cells not observable in populations of cells include: 1) the maintenance of a sustained elevation in [Ca2+]i ...
متن کاملCalcium-magnesium interactions in pancreatic acinar cells.
Although the role of calcium (Ca2+) in the signal transduction and pathobiology of the exocrine pancreas is firmly established, the role of magnesium (Mg2+) remains unclear. We have characterized the intracellular distribution of Mg2+ in response to hormone stimulation in isolated mouse pancreatic acinar cells and studied the role of Mg2+ in modulating Ca2+ signaling using microspectrofluoromet...
متن کاملCalcium Wave Propagation in Pancreatic Acinar Cells
In pancreatic acinar cells, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP(3))-dependent cytosolic calcium ([Ca(2+)](i)) increases resulting from agonist stimulation are initiated in an apical "trigger zone," where the vast majority of InsP(3) receptors (InsP(3)R) are localized. At threshold stimulation, [Ca(2+)](i) signals are confined to this region, whereas at concentrations of agonists that optimally e...
متن کاملCyclic AMP accelerates calcium waves in pancreatic acinar cells.
Cytosolic Ca(2+) (Ca(i)(2+)) flux within the pancreatic acinar cell is important both physiologically and pathologically. We examined the role of cAMP in shaping the apical-to-basal Ca(2+) wave generated by the Ca(2+)-activating agonist carbachol. We hypothesized that cAMP modulates intra-acinar Ca(2+) channel opening by affecting either cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) or exchange protein d...
متن کاملCalcium oscillations in a triplet of pancreatic acinar cells.
We use a mathematical model of calcium dynamics in pancreatic acinar cells to investigate calcium oscillations in a ring of three coupled cells. A connected group of cells is modeled in two different ways: 1), as coupled point oscillators, each oscillator being described by a spatially homogeneous model; and 2), as spatially distributed cells coupled along their common boundaries by gap-junctio...
