Conformation State

The effects of ER (endoplasmic reticulum) Ca2+ on cytosolic Ca2+ oscillations in pancreatic acinar cells were investigated using mathematical models of the Ca2+ oscillations. We first examined the mathematical model of SERCA (sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase) to reproduce the highly co-operative inhibitory effect of Ca2+ in the ER lumen on ER Ca2+ uptake in the acinar cells. The model predicts that luminal Ca2+ would most probably inhibit the conversion of the conformation state with luminal Ca2+-binding sites (E2) into the conformation state with cytoplasmic Ca2+-binding sites (E1). The SERCA model derived from this prediction showed dose–response relationships to cytosolic and luminal Ca2+ concentrations that were consistent with the experimental data from the acinar cells. According to a mathematical model of cytosolic Ca2+ oscillations based on the modified SERCA model, a small decrease in the concentration of endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ (approx. 20% of the total) was sufficient to abolish the oscillations. When a single type of IP3R (IP3 receptor) was included in the model, store depletion decreased the spike frequency. However, the frequency became less sensitive to store depletion when we added another type of IP3R with higher sensitivity to the concentration of free Ca2+ in the cytosol. Bifurcation analysis of the mathematical model showed that the loss of Ca2+ from the ER lumen decreased the sensitivity of cytosolic Ca2+ oscillations to IP3 [Ins(1,4,5)P3]. The addition of a high-affinity IP3R did not alter this property, but significantly decreased the sensitivity of the spike frequency to IP3. Our mathematical model demonstrates how luminal Ca2+, through its effect on Ca2+ uptake, can control cytosolic Ca2+ oscillations.

Store Depletion

We recently reported that store-operated Ca2+entry (SOCE) in nonexcitable cells is likely to be mediated by a reversible interaction between Ca2+channels in the plasma membrane and the endoplasmic reticulum, a mechanism known as “secretion-like coupling.” As for secretion, in this model the actin cytoskeleton plays a key regulatory role. In the present study we have explored the involvement of the secretory proteins synaptosome-associated protein (SNAP-25) and vesicle-associated membrane protein (VAMP) in SOCE in pancreatic acinar cells. Cleavage of SNAP-25 and VAMPs by treatment with botulinum toxin A (BoNT A) and tetanus toxin (TeTx), respectively, effectively inhibited amylase secretion stimulated by the physiological agonist CCK-8. BoNT A significantly reduced Ca2+entry induced by store depletion using thapsigargin or CCK-8. In addition, treatment with BoNT A once SOCE had been activated reduced Ca2+influx, indicating that SNAP-25 is needed for both the activation and maintenance of SOCE in pancreatic acinar cells. VAMP-2 and VAMP-3 are expressed in mouse pancreatic acinar cells. Both proteins associate with the cytoskeleton upon Ca2+store depletion, although only VAMP-2 seems to be sensitive to TeTx. Treatment of pancreatic acinar cells with TeTx reduced the activation of SOCE without affecting its maintenance. These findings support a role for SNAP-25 and VAMP-2 in the activation of SOCE in pancreatic acinar cells and show parallels between this process and secretion in a specialized secretory cell type.

The submandibular glands of 4-week-old rats were dissociated by a procedure involving digestions with collagenase and hyaluronidase, chelation of divalent cations and mechanical force. A suspension of single cells was obtained in low yield by centrifugation in a Ficoll-containing medium. Immediately after dissociation and after a culture period of 16-18 hr the dissociated cells were tested for agglutinability by concanavalin A (Con A). Using ferritin (tfer)-conjugated Con A the lectin binding by the isolated acinar cells was also studied. The dissociated cells were agglutinated by low concentrations of Con A and bound Fer-Con A molecules on their entire surface without any indication of polarization of the cell membrane. There was a considerable cell to cell variation in the amount of Fer-Con A binding which was, in general, sparse and patchy. The contact surfaces between agglutinated cells revealed a dense binding of Fer-Con A molecules irrespective of the types of cells participating in the agglutination reaction. Cells cultured for 16-18 hr were no longer agglutinated by Con A. As compared to the freshly dissociated cells the cultured acinar cells revealed a more uniform and denser binding of Fer-Con A molecules. Furthermore, there were more lectin molecules bound to the cell surface corresponding to the basal part of the cell, where the nucleus and most of the rough surface endoplasmic reticulum were located, than to the apical cell surface. It is suggested that the higher density of lectin-binding sites on the cell surface in the vicinity of the cisternae of the rough endoplasmic reticulum indicates insertion sites of newly synthesized membrane glycoproteins.

Here we describe a technique that allows us to visualize in real time the formation and dynamics (fusion, changes of shape, and translocation) of vacuoles in living cells. The technique involves infusion of a dextran-bound fluorescent probe into the cytosol of the cell via a patch pipette, using the whole-cell patch-clamp configuration. Experiments were conducted on pancreatic acinar cells stimulated with supramaximal concentrations of cholecystokinin (CCK). The vacuoles, forming in the cytoplasm of the cell, were revealed as dark imprints on a bright fluorescence background, produced by the probe and visualized by confocal microscopy. A combination of two dextran-bound probes, one infused into the cytosol and the second added to the extracellular solution, was used to identify endocytic and nonendocytic vacuoles. The cytosolic dextran-bound probe was also used together with a Golgi indicator to illustrate the possibility of combining the probes and identifying the localization of vacuoles with respect to other cellular organelles in pancreatic acinar cells. Combinations of cytosolic dextran-bound probes with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) or mitochondrial probes were also used to simultaneously visualize vacuoles and corresponding organelles. We expect that the new technique will also be applicable and useful for studies of vacuole dynamics in other cell types.

We have synthesized two photolabile arylazido-analogues of Ins(1,4,5)P3 selectively substituted at the 1-phosphate group for determination of Ins(1,4,5)P3-binding proteins. These two photoaffinity derivatives, namely N-(4-azidobenzoyl)aminoethanol-1-phospho-D-myo-inositol 4,5-bisphosphate (AbaIP3) and N-(4-azidosalicyl)aminoethanol-1-phospho-D-myo-inositol 4,5-bisphosphate (AsaIP3), bind to high affinity Ins(1,4,5)P3-specific binding sites at a 9-fold lower affinity (Kd = 66 and 70 nM) than Ins(1,4,5)P3 (Kd = 7.15 nM) in a fraction from rat pancreatic acinar cells enriched in endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Other inositol phosphates tested showed comparable (DL-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphothioate, Kd = 81 nM) or much lower affinities for the binding sites [Ins(1,3,4,5)P4, Kd = 4 microM; Ins(1,4)P2, Kd = 80 microM]. Binding of AbaIP3 was also tested on a microsomal preparation of rat cerebellum [Kd = 300 nM as compared with Ins(1,4,5)P3, Kd = 45 nM]. Ca2+ release activity of the inositol derivatives was tested with AbaIP3. It induced a rapid and concentration-dependent Ca2+ release from the ER fraction [EC50 (dose producing half-maximal effect) = 3.1 microM] being only 10-fold less potent than Ins(1,4,5)P3 (EC50 = 0.3 microM). From the two radioactive labelled analogues ([3H]AbaIP3 and 125I-AsIP3) synthesized, the radioiodinated derivative was used for photoaffinity labelling. It specifically labelled three proteins with apparent molecular masses of 49, 37 and 31 kDa in the ER-enriched fraction. By subfractionation of this ER-enriched fraction on a Percoll gradient the 37 kDa Ins(1,4,5)P3 binding protein was obtained in a membrane fraction which showed the highest effect in Ins(1,4,5)P3-inducible Ca2+ release (fraction P1). The other two Ins(1,4,5)P3-binding proteins, of 49 and 31 kDa, were obtained in fraction P2, in which Ins(1,4,5)P3-induced Ca2+ release was half of that obtained in fraction P1. We conclude from these data that the 37 kDa and/or the 49 and 31 kDa proteins are involved in Ins(1,4,5)P3-induced Ca2+ release from the ER of rat pancreatic acinar cells.

The distribution and nature of sialoglycoconjugates on the surface of cells of a pancreatic carcinoma and their behavior when interacting with the sialic acid-specific lectin, limulin (LPA; from Limulus polyphemus hemolymph) were compared to those of normal pancreatic acinar cells. Fluorescence microscopy of frozen sections, using rhodaminated LPA (Rh-LPA), revealed protease-resistant binding sites evenly distributed over the cell surface of neoplastic cells, contrasting with the asymmetric distribution of sialoglycoconjugates on normal acinar cells. An asymmetric staining pattern, resembling that of normal acinar cells, was occasionally observed in tumor cells that had regained their structural polarity when in contact with the basement membranes of blood vessels. Cytochemistry, using horseradish peroxidase-conjugated LPA (HRP-LPA), showed that the binding of limulin to neoplastic cells was less intense than that to any plasmalemmal domain of normal acinar cells. In tumor cells, local intensification of LPA binding was systematically observed on plasmalemmal regions adjacent to zymogen granules. Fixed dissociated cells, both tumor and normal, treated with Rh-LPA, retained the fluorescence distribution of Rh-LPA observed in situ. Nonfixed neoplastic cells showed lectin-induced patching of limulin binding sites and were more susceptible to agglutination by LPA than normal acinar cells.

Using the combined approaches of affinity labeling and light and electron microscopic autoradiography, we investigated the identification and localization of cholecystokinin (CCK)-binding sites on rat pancreatic acinar cells. To define the molecular properties of the CCK-binding site, we incubated rat pancreatic plasma membranes with 125-I-CCK-33 for 15 min at 23 degrees C followed by washing and cross-linking with disuccinimidyl suberate. Specific labeling of a major Mr 85,000 component was revealed as assessed by SDS PAGE under reducing conditions and autoradiography of the dried gels. Components of Mr greater than 200,000, Mr 130,000-140,000, and, Mr 55,000 were labeled under maximal cross-linking conditions. The labeling of all components was specifically inhibited by CCK-8 in a dose-dependent manner (Kd approximately 9 nM). The Mr 85,000 component had identical electrophoretic mobilities under reducing and nonreducing conditions indicating that it likely does not contain intramolecular disulfide bonds. The larger labeled species may be cross-linked oligomers of this binding protein or complexes between it and neighboring polypeptides. For studies on the distribution of CCK-binding sites, pancreatic acini were incubated with 125I-CCK-33 (0.1 nM) in the absence or presence of CCK-8 (1 microM) for 2 or 15 min at 37 degrees C, washed, and fixed in 2% glutaraldehyde. Quantitative autoradiographic analysis indicated that approximately 60% of the total grains were located within +/- 1 HD (1 HD = 100 nm) of the lateral and basal plasmalemma with little or no labeling of the apical plasmalemma. From these data, it was estimated that each acinar cell possesses at least 5,000-10,000 CCK-binding sites on its basolateral plasmalemma. The remaining grains showed no preferential concentration over the cytoplasm or nucleus. Together, these data indicate that CCK interacts with a Mr 85,000 protein located on the basolateral plasmalemma of the pancreatic acinar cell.

Main Regulator

ABSTRACTSince deregulation of intracellular Ca2+ can lead to intracellular trypsin activation and STIM1 (stromal interaction molecule-1) protein is the main regulator of Ca2+ homeostasis in pancreatic acinar cells, we explored the Ca2+ signaling in 37 STIM1 variants found in three pancreatitis patient cohorts. Extensive functional analysis of one particular variant, p.E152K, identified in three patients, provided a plausible link between dysregulated Ca2+ signaling within pancreatic acinar cells and chronic pancreatitis susceptibility. Specifically, p.E152K, located within the STIM1 EF-hand and sterile α-motif domain, increased the release of Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum in patient-derived fibroblasts and transfected HEK293T cells. This event was mediated by altered STIM1-sarco/endoplasmic reticulum calcium transport ATPase (SERCA) interactions and enhanced SERCA pump activity leading to increased Store Operated Calcium Entry (SOCE). In the pancreatic AR42J cells expressing the p.E152K variant, Ca2+-signaling perturbations correlated with defects in trypsin activation and secretion, and increased cytotoxicity after cholecystokinin stimulation.Summary statementp.E152K-STIM1 variant found in pancreatitis patients leads to intracellular changes in calcium homeostasis through SERCA interaction, enabling intracellular trypsin activation and pancreatic acinar cell death.
