  • Title: Inositol trisphosphate production and amylase secretion in mouse pancreatic acini.
    Author: Powers RE, Saluja AK, Houlihan MJ, Steer ML.
    Journal: Biochem Biophys Res Commun; 1985 Aug 30; 131(1):284-8. PubMed ID: 2412553.
    Abstract:
    Dispersed mouse pancreatic acini prelabelled with (3H)-myoinositol generated (3H)-inositol trisphosphate (3H-IP3), (3H)-IP2 and (3H)-IP1 in response to both cholinergic and cholecystokinin analogues. The generation of (3H)-IP3 was very rapid, reaching a maximal value within 5 seconds following hormone stimulation. Stimulation with 10(-3)M carbachol increased (3H)-IP3 to a value which was 13 times that found in unstimulated acini. These results indicate that the mechanism of stimulus-secretion coupling in mouse pancreatic acini may proceed by a mechanism similar to many other systems, including rat pancreatic acini. This sequence includes hormone-stimulated phosphatidylinositol turnover and Ca2+ mobilization, i.e. secretagogue-stimulated generation of IP3 which induces the subsequent release of intracellular Ca2+. These observations differ from those recently reported by Hokin-Neaverson and Sadeghian (J. Biol. Chem. 259: 1346, 1984), in which no hormone stimulated IP3 generation was detected in mouse pancreatic acini.
