Dispersed rat parotid acinar cells. II. Characterization of adrenergic receptors

Abstract: The in vitro characterization of adrenergic receptors in isolated rat parotid acinar cells was accomplished through investigations of the transmembrane influxes of K and of the secretion of amylase in response to interactions of the cells with selected agonists and antagonists. Interaction of epinephrine (EPI) at concentrations of 10(-3)-10(-9) M with the alpha-adrenergic receptors resulted in rapid efflux of K from the cells. This effect was inhibited by phentolamine but not by propranolol or atropine. The pr… Show more

“…The concentration of terbutaline needed to produce half maximal stimulation (EC50) was 0.8 ,M, a value which is a little lower than the range of 2-12 ,tM described in other cell systems (42,43). The decrease in stimulation seen at the highest concentrations (termed "autoinhibition") of terbutaline has been observed with various 8-adrpnergic agonists; autoinhibition may be a result of cqmpetitive inhibition by the D-isomer at high concentrations, but other explanations (44) (42,46,48). Phentolamine, even at high concentrations, did not inhibit the release induced by terbutaline (Fig.…”

“…Secretion ofamylase is also elevated by these agonists, albeit weakly in comparison with f-adrenergic agonists (Babad et al, 1967;Mangos et al, 1975;Kanagasuntheram & Randle, 1976). These effects are dependent on extracellular Ca2+ and are believed to be initiated by a rise in intracellular free Ca2+ Kanagasuntheram & Randle, 1976).…”

“…Activation of the fl-adrenergic receptor stimulates adenylate cyclase Wojcik et al, 1975) and induces a rapid and copious release of amylase (Bdolah et al, 1964;Butcher et al, 1975;Mangos et al, 1975). Moreover, the incorporation of radioactively labelled amino acids into trichloroacetic acid-insoluble proteins and amylase is also increased 4-6h after fl-adrenergic stimulation (Lillie & Han, 1973;Johnson & Sreebny, 1973).…”

“…The transmitters, acetylcholine (ACh) and noradrenaline, interact with cholinergic, a-and /J-adrenergic receptors on the acinar cells. The actions of these transmitters on K transport have been extensively studied in salivary glands in vivo (Burgen, 1956) and in vitro (Batzri, Selinger, Schramm & Robinovitch, 1973;Bogart & Picarelli, 1978;Butcher, McBride & Rudich, 1976;Butcher, Rudich, Emler & Nemerovsky, 1976;Marier, Putney & Van de Walle, 1978; Mangos, McSherry, Barber, Arvanitakis & Wagner, 1975;Martinez, Quissell & Giles, 1976;Petersen, 1970aPetersen, , b, 1971aPutney, 1976Putney, , 1977Poulsen & Oakley, 1978;Quissell, 1980).…”
