Evidence for a primary role for intracellular Ca2+ in the stimulation of pancreatic enzyme secretion is reviewed. Measurements of cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration have allowed direct demonstration of its importance in triggering enzyme secretion and defined the concentration range over which membrane Ca2+ pumps must work to regulate intracellular Ca2+. Current evidence suggests a key role for the Ca2+ Mg-ATPase of rough endoplasmic reticulum in regulating intracellular Ca2+ and accumulating a Ca2+ store which is released by the action of inositol-l,4,5 trisphosphate following stimulation of secretion.

Stimulation Of

The Ca2+-activated photoprotein aequorin has been incorporated into intact, isolated rat pancreatic acini by a hypotonic swelling method. The isolated acini retained normal secretory responses after loading with aequorin. Increases in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration in response to a physiological secretagogue, carbamylcholine, and to divalent-cation ionophore A23187 have been demonstrated. Simultaneous measurement of the dynamics of enzyme secretion and changes in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration has been achieved using a newly developed apparatus.

Pancreatic Enzyme Secretion

Many calcium-mediated effects in mammalian cells may be activated by calcium-calmodulin stimulated enzymes. These effects are inhibited by various antidepressant drugs which bind to and inactivate calmodulin. In the current study, calmodulin was identified by affinity chromatography and gel electrophoresis in the cytoplasm of dispersed rat pancreatic acinar cells. Its role in enzyme secretion was assessed by evaluating the effects of various antidepressant drugs on the enzyme secretory process. Chlorpromazine, trifluoperazine, thioridazine, chlorprothixene and amitriptyline inhibited amylase secretion stimulated by carbacol, A-23187, and cholecystokinin-pancreozymin but not that elicitied by dibutyryl cyclic AMP secretin or vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP). Haloperidol, sulpiride, phenobarbital, and ethanol were without effect on secretagogue-stimulated enzyme release. Only those agents which blocked secretion also inhibited 45Ca release stimulated by carbachol from isotope preloaded cells. The data suggest that calmodulin may have a functional role in pancreatic enzyme secretion.

During a 5-min incubation with increasing concentrations of cholecystokinin, enzyme secretion from pancreatic acini increased, became maximal at 1 nM cholecystokinin, and then decreased progressively to 65% of maximal with concentrations of cholecystokinin above 1 nM. During a 20-min incubation with increasing concentrations of cholecystokinin, enzyme secretion increased, became maximal at 0.3 nM cholecystokinin, and then decreased progressively to 40% of maximal with concentrations of cholecystokinin above 0.3 nM. The configuration of the dose-response curve for cholecystokinin-stimulated enzyme secretion did not change when the incubation time was increased from 20 to 30, 45, or 60 min. Concentrations of cholecystokinin that were supramaximal for stimulating enzyme secretion abolished the stimulation caused by other secretagogues that promote mobilization of cellular calcium (e.g., carbamylcholine, bombesin, physalaemin, or A23187), as well as that caused by secretagogues that elevate cellular cAMP (e.g., vasoactive intestinal peptide or secretin). The submaximal stimulation caused by supramaximal concentrations of cholecystokinin reflects what we have termed "restricted stimulation" of enzyme secretion. Secretion is than the basal rate of release and is "restricted" in the sense that enzyme release is submaximal and cannot be increased by adding another secretagogue.

The mechanism by which physiological concentrations of cholecystokinin (CCK) evoke pancreatic exocrine secretion in humans was investigated. CCK octapeptide (CCK-8) dose dependently increased trypsin and lipase output in healthy humans. Atropine inhibited CCK-8 (10 ng.kg-1.h-1)-stimulated trypsin output by 84.0 +/- 7.7% and lipase output by 78.6 +/- 9.2%. The inhibition with atropine was much less with a CCK-8 dose of 40 ng.kg-1.h-1 (41.8 +/- 6.6% for trypsin and 46.3 +/- 7.3% for lipase). CCK-8 at 10 ng.kg-1.h-1 produced plasma CCK levels similar to postprandial levels (6.0 +/- 1.3 vs. 6.9 +/- 0.8 pM), whereas the 40-ng.kg-1.h-1 dose produced supraphysiological levels (18.4 +/- 3.1 pM). To evaluate if CCK might act via stimulation of cholinergic nerves, in vitro studies were performed using rat pancreas. CCK-8 (10 nM-10 microM) stimulated [3H]acetylcholine release from pancreatic lobules that was blocked by tetrodotoxin, a calcium-free medium, and the CCK antagonist L364,718. In conclusion, CCK-stimulated pancreatic enzyme secretion is dependent on cholinergic neural and noncholinergic pathways. In humans, CCK infusions, which produce plasma CCK levels similar to those seen postprandially, stimulate the pancreas predominantly via a pathway dependent on cholinergic innervation. Correlative in vitro experiments suggest that CCK may act by stimulation of neural acetylcholine release. In contrast, supraphysiological CCK infusions act in part via noncholinergic pathways.

Pancreatic acinar cells possess two functionally distinct mechanisms by which secretagogues can increase enzyme secretion. One mechanism is mediated by mobilization of cellular calcium and can be activated by any one of four different classes of receptors. The other mechanism is mediated by cyclic AMP and can be activated by either of two different classes of receptors. In addition to stimulating enzyme secretion, a secretagogue can cause potentiation of secretion, desensitization to the subsequent stimulation caused by the same or other secretagogues as well as residual stimulation of enzyme secretion. Although each class of secretagogue receptors can cause the same final effect, stimulation of enzyme secretion, the existence of multiple classes of receptors and the different mechanisms of action endow the acinar cell with a wide range of patterns of response depending on which of the several classes of receptors are activated.
