Abstract

In pancreatic acinar cells stimulation of different intracellular pathways leads to different patterns of Ca2+ signaling. Bombesin induces activation of both phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2)-specific phospholipase C (PLC) and phospholipase D (PLD). The latter leads to generation of diacylglycerol (DAG) in addition to that produced by activation of PIP2-PLC. Strong activation of protein kinase C (PKC) results in inhibition of Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release from Ca2+ pools arranged in sequence to the luminally located IP3-sensitive Ca2+ pools. Consequently the Ca2+ wave which starts in the luminal cell pole is slower in the presence of bombesin (5 μm/s) as compared to that in the presence of acetylcholine (17 μm/s) which activates PIP2-PLC but not PLD. Activation of high-affinity CCK-receptors triggers a Ca2+ wave with slow propagation (5 μm/s) due to stimulation of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) and generation of arachidonic acid, which in turn leads to inhibition of Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release. Low-affinity CCK-receptors are coupled to both PIP2-PLC and PLD.
