Expression of Ca2+-dependent Synaptotagmin Isoforms in Mouse and Rat Parotid Acinar Cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
Synaptotagmin is a Ca2+ sensing protein, which triggers a fusion of synaptic vesicles in neuronal transmission. Little is known regarding the expression of Ca2+-dependent synaptotagmin isoforms and their contribution to the release of secretory vesicles in mouse and rat parotid acinar cells. We investigated a type of Ca2+-dependent synaptotagmin and Ca2+ signaling in both rat and mouse parotid acinar cells using RT-PCR, microfluorometry, and amylase assay. Mouse parotid acinar cells exhibited much more sensitive amylase release in response to muscarinic stimulation than did rat parotid acinar cells. However, transient [Ca2+]i increases and Ca2+ influx in response to muscarinic stimulation in both cells were identical, suggesting that the expression or activity of the Ca2+ sensing proteins is different. Seven Ca2+-dependent synaptotagmins, from 1 to 7, were expressed in the mouse parotid acinar cells. However, in the rat parotid acinar cells, only synaptotagmins 1, 3, 4 and 7 were expressed. These results indicate that the expression of Ca2+-dependent synaptotagmins may contribute to the release of secretory vesicles in parotid acinar cells.

Alteration of Expression of Ca2+ Signaling Proteins and Adaptation of Ca2+ Signaling in SERCA2+/- Mouse Parotid Acini
PURPOSE The sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA), encoded by ATP2A2, is an essential component for G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR)-dependent Ca2+ signaling. However, whether the changes in Ca2+ signaling and Ca2+ signaling proteins in parotid acinar cells are affected by a partial loss of SERCA2 are not known. MATERIALS AND METHODS In SERCA2+/- mouse parotid gland acinar cells, C...
متن کاملNitric oxide and cGMP activate Ca2+-release processes in rat parotid acinar cells.
We characterized the enzymic properties of ADP-ribosyl cyclase in rat parotid acinar cells by using a fluorescence technique. ADP-ribosyl cyclase is capable of synthesizing the Ca2+ -mobilizing nucleotide cADP-ribose (cADPR) from NAD(+) and has previously been shown to be regulated by cGMP via a cGMP-dependent protein kinase (G kinase). We therefore investigated whether NO/cGMP-activated pathwa...

The ryanodine receptor mediates intracellular Ca2+ mobilization in muscle and nerve, but its physiological role in nonexcitable cells is less well defined. Like adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, cyclic ADP-ribose (0.3-5 μM) and ADP (1-25 μM) produced a concentration-dependent rise in cytosolic Ca2+ in permeabilized rat parotid acinar cells. Adenosine and AMP...

متن کاملInvolvement of phosphodiesterase 4 in beta-adrenoceptor agonist-induced amylase release in parotid acinar cells.
beta-Adrenoceptor activation increases intracellular cAMP levels and consequently induces exocytotic amylase release in parotid acinar cells. Phosphodiesterase (PDE) catalyses the hydrolysis of cAMP, which terminates the downstream signaling of this second messenger. We investigated the involvement of PDE4, a cAMP-PDE, in beta-adrenoceptor agonist-induced amylase release in mouse, rat and rabbi...
