Ca2+-independent fusion of secretory granules with phospholipase A2-treated plasma membranes in vitro

Abstract: The fusion of secretory granules with plasma membranes prepared from rat parotid gland was studied in vitro to clarify the mechanism of exocytosis. Fusion of the granules with plasma membranes was measured by a fluorescence-dequenching assay with octadecyl rhodamine B, and release of amylase was also measured to confirm the fusion as a final step of the secretory process. Plasma membranes that had been pretreated with porcine phospholipase A2 (PLA2) in the presence of 20 microM Ca2+ fused with the granules wit… Show more

“…The contribution of this phospholipase A 2 to amylase secretion from rat parotid acini (57) and to insulin secretion by pancreatic ␤ cells (58) has also been reported. This is consistent with the fact that calcium is not required for the fusion of secretory granules with the plasma membrane (59). Additionally, the presence of an iPLA 2 on the membrane of rat parotid secretory granules has been reported (60).…”

“…Activation of cPLA 2 due to accumulations in intracellular Ca 2+ may then serve to maintain insulin secretion and inhibition of cPLA 2 appears to reduce secretion only 50% ( 233 ). The role of sPLA 2 may reside in its ability to enhance the ability of plasma membranes to bind secretory granules ( 238,(240)(241)(242), though a role for sPLA 2 in inactivating the K ATP channels has also been described ( 237 ). In view of expression of membrane receptors for sPLA 2 in ␤ -cells ( 238,243,244 ), the role of sPLA 2 s in ␤ -cells may be to serve as feedback modulators to maintain/amplify insulin secretion.…”

“…PGF2a synthesis can be inhibited by pertussis toxin (135), indicating a second level of control. The residual lysophosphatidylcholine has been implicated in exocytosis (136,137), suggesting a mechanism by which stretch could trigger release of growth factors.…”
