Control of secretory granule interaction and exocytosis in pancreatic cells.

چکیده
Application of the laser-based technique of photon correlation spectroscopy to an in vitro study of the ionic stability and interaction kinetics of zymogen granules isolated from rat exocrine pancreas is described here. In addition the separation from pancreatic acinar cell cytosol of a factor which stabilizes isolated zymogen granules and inhibits cation-induced granule aggregation is outlined. The basis of this action and the significance of the cytosolic inhibitory factor in the regulation of granule mobility and exocytosis in vivo is discussed.

Visualization of exocytosis in pancreatic acinar cells by fluorescence microscopy
The control of regulated exocytosis is still largely unknown in epithelial cells (12). While much progress has been made in understanding constitutive secretion we still know only in outline the mechanisms of secretory granule fusion (5). Progress requires methods of real-time imaging of granule exocytosis and in recent years a variety of optical methods have been applied towards understanding ...
متن کاملSnapin mediates insulin secretory granule docking, but not trans-SNARE complex formation.
Secretory granule exocytosis is a tightly regulated process requiring granule targeting, tethering, priming, and membrane fusion. At the heart of this process is the SNARE complex, which drives fusion through a coiled-coil zippering effect mediated by the granule v-SNARE protein, VAMP2, and the plasma membrane t-SNAREs, SNAP-25 and syntaxin-1A. Here we demonstrate that in pancreatic β-cells the...
متن کاملIon channels in secretory granules of the pancreas and their role in exocytosis and release of secretory proteins.
Regulated secretion in exocrine and neuroendocrine cells occurs through exocytosis of secretory granules and the subsequent release of stored small molecules and proteins. The introduction of biophysical techniques with high temporal and spatial resolution, and the identification of Ca(2+)-dependent and -independent "docking" and "fusion" proteins, has greatly enhanced our understanding of exoc...
متن کاملThe pancreatic ß-cell protein Granuphilin binds Rab3 and Munc-18 and controls exocytosis
Granuphilin/Slp-4 is a member of the Synaptotagmin-like protein family expressed in pancreatic ß-cells and in pituitary gland. We show by confocal microscopy that both Granuphilin-a and -b colocalize with insulin-containing secretory granules positioned at the periphery of pancreatic ß-cells. Overexpression of Granuphilins in insulinsecreting cell lines caused a profound inhibition of stimulus-...
