Abstract
A possible role for signalling through phospholipase C in histamine-induced catecholamine secretion from bovine adrenal chromaffin cells has been investigated. Secretion evoked by histamine over 10 min was not prevented by inhibiting inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors with 2-APB, by blocking ryanodine receptors with a combination of ryanodine and caffeine, or by depleting intracellular Ca(2+) stores by pretreatment with thapsigargin. Inhibition of protein kinase C with Ro31-8220 also failed to reduce secretion. Inhibition of phospholipase C with ET-18-OCH(3) reduced both histamine- and K(+) -induced inositol phosphate responses by 70-80% without reducing their secretory responses. Stimulating phospholipase C with Pasteurella multocida toxin did not evoke secretion or enhance the secretory response to histamine. The secretory response to histamine was little affected by tetrodotoxin or by substituting extracellular Na(+) with N -methyl-d-glucamine(+) or choline(+), or by substituting external Cl(-) with nitrate(-). Blocking various K(+) channels with apamin, charybdotoxin, Ba(2+), tetraethylammonium, 4-aminopyridine, tertiapin or glibenclamide failed to reduce the ability of histamine to evoke secretion. These results indicate that histamine evokes secretion by a mechanism that does not require inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate-mediated mobilization of stored Ca(2+), diacylglycerol-mediated activation of protein kinase C, or activation of phospholipase C. The results are consistent with histamine acting by depolarizing chromaffin cells through a phospholipase C-independent mechanism.
