Retention of amylase in the secretory granules of parotid gland after extensive release of Ca++ by ionophore A-23187
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effect of the ionophore A-23187 was tested on isolated secretory granules of rat parotid gland. The ionophore caused extensive release of calcium from the granules without effecting release of amylase or other secretory proteins. It is therefore concluded that the role of calcium in the granules is probably not that of a stabilizing agent.

Differential aggregation properties of secretory proteins that are stored in exocrine secretory granules of the pancreas and parotid glands.
Low-pH- and calcium-induced aggregation of regulated secretory proteins has been proposed to play a role in their retention and storage in secretory granules. However, this has not been tested for secretory proteins that are stored in the exocrine parotid secretory granules. Parotid granule matrix proteins were analyzed for aggregation in the presence or absence of calcium and in the pH range o...
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, alpha-amylase, the rate of amylase secretion from pancreatic lobules incubated in vitro was not increased in response to CCK. In contrast, ...
متن کاملAn effect of prostaglandin E1 on the acinar cell of the rat parotid gland.
The effects of in vivo administration of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) on rat parotid gland acinar cells were studied and compared with glands removed from animals which had been either fasted or stimulated to discharge stored secretory granules by an injection of isoproterenol (IPR). Depletion of tissue amylase, increased plasma amylase, and alterations in secretory cell ultrastructure were used to ...
متن کاملThe effects of tannin-rich diet on protein composition of parotid and submandibular glands of Guinea Pig
Tannins are plant-derived polyphenolic compounds that are widely found in foods, particularly in fruits and beverages. These materials are water-soluble and able to precipitate proteins from aqueous solutions. It had been shown that feeding some animals such as rat and mouse with tannins mimicks the effects of isoproterenol on salivary glands. Tannins stimulate β-receptors by some indirect me...
متن کاملCalcium metabolism and amylase release in rat parotid acinar cells.
1. A method is described for the isolation of rat parotid acinar cells by controlled digestion of the gland with trypsin followed by collagenase. As judged by Trypan Blue exclusion, electron microscopy, water, electrolyte and ATP concentrations and release of amylase and lactate dehydrogenase, the cells are morphologically and functionally intact. 2. A method was developed for perifusion of aci...
