Detection of exocytosis at individual pancreatic beta cells by amperometry at a chemically modified microelectrode.
Amperometry at a carbon fiber microelectrode modified with a composite of ruthenium oxide and cyanoruthenate was used to monitor chemical secretions of single pancreatic beta cells from rats and humans. When the insulin secretagogues glucose, tolbutamide, and K+ were applied to the cell, a series of randomly occurring current spikes was observed. The current spikes were shown to be due to the d...
متن کاملTransient transfection studies of secretion in bovine chromaffin cells and PC12 cells. Generation of kainate-sensitive chromaffin cells.
We have developed a transient transfection method to measure protein secretion from non-dividing, primary bovine chromaffin cells and from the continuous cell line, PC12. A plasmid coding human growth hormone (GH) was expressed in sufficient amounts in bovine chromaffin and PC12 cells to allow precise measurements of secretion from the small fraction (less than 1%) of transfected cells in a dis...
متن کاملCatecholamine secretion from digitonin-treated adrenal medullary chromaffin cells.
The plasma membrane of cultured chromaffin cells from bovine adrenal medulla was rendered leaky by incubation in low concentrations of digitonin. Digitonin (20 microM) induced Ca2+-dependent release of 10-20% of the catecholamine in the presence of 10 microM Ca2+ without addition of secretagogue. Half-maximal catecholamine release occurred at approximately 1 microM Ca2+ x Mg2+ could not substit...
متن کاملNPY regulates catecholamine secretion from human adrenal chromaffin cells.
The aim of the present work was to find out whether NPY synthesized in human adrenal chromaffin cells controls in an autocrine/paracrine fashion the release of catecholamines by these cells. Accordingly, the constitutive and regulated release of both NPY and catecholamines was measured simultaneously in cultured human chromaffin cells. In addition, by using both RT-PCR and a combination of spec...
متن کاملNicotinic Receptor-mediated Catecholamine Secretion from Individual Chromaffin Cells
Nicotinic receptor-mediated secretion of catecholamines from individual cultured bovine adrenal medullary chromaffin cells was measured and characterized with a voltametric microelectrode placed adjacent to the cells. Nicotine-induced secretion is associated with a large increase in chemical spikes that is temporally resolved into the apparent secretion of discrete packets of attomole quantitie...
