Nicotinic Receptor-mediated Catecholamine Secretion from Individual Chromaffin Cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 quantities of easily oxidized molecules. These data are consistent with direct chemical measurement of single exocytotic events.

متن کاملThe effects of ketamine, phencyclidine and lidocaine on catecholamine secretion from cultured bovine adrenal chromaffin cells.
The ability of ketamine, phencyclidine and analogues to alter catecholamine secretion from cultured bovine adrenal chromaffin cells was investigated. Both ketamine and phencyclidine specifically inhibited nicotinic agonist-induced secretion at concentrations which did not alter secretion induced by elevated K+ depolarization. The inhibition of nicotinic agonist-induced secretion was not overcom...
متن کاملMuscarinic receptor enhancement of nicotine-induced catecholamine secretion may be mediated by phosphoinositide metabolism in bovine adrenal chromaffin cells.
Bovine adrenal chromaffin cells possess both nicotinic and muscarinic cholinergic receptors, but only nicotinic receptors have heretofore appeared to mediate Ca2+-dependent exocytosis. We have now found that muscarinic receptor stimulation in bovine adrenal chromaffin cells leads to enhanced inositol phospholipid metabolism as evidenced by the rapid (less than 1 min) formation of inositol trisp...
متن کاملNeuronal control of catecholamine secretion from chromaffin cells in the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss).
The goal of the present investigation was to assess the relative involvement of nicotinic and muscarinic cholinergic receptors in the neuronal control of catecholamine secretion from the chromaffin tissue of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). This was accomplished by first developing and validating a nerve-stimulating technique able specifically to activate the nerve fibres innervating the ch...
متن کاملCatecholamine secretion in trout chromaffin cells experiencing nicotinic receptor desensitization is maintained by non-cholinergic neurotransmission.
The goal of the present study was to assess the catecholamine secretory capabilities of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss chromaffin cells experiencing desensitization of the nicotinic receptor. It was hypothesized that the potential to secrete catecholamines could be maintained under conditions of nicotinic receptor desensitization owing to activation of non-cholinergic release pathways. An in...
