Abstract
Protein secretion from acinar cells of the pancreas and parotid glands is controlled by G-protein coupled receptor activation and generation of the cellular messengers Ca(2+), diacylglycerol and cAMP. Secretory granule (SG) exocytosis shares some common characteristics with nerve, neuroendocrine and endocrine cells which are regulated mainly by elevated cell Ca(2+). However, in addition to diverse signaling pathways, acinar cells have large ∼1 μm diameter SGs (∼30 fold larger diameter than synaptic vesicles), respond to stimulation at slower rates (seconds versus milliseconds), demonstrate significant constitutive secretion, and in isolated acini, undergo sequential compound SG-SG exocytosis at the apical membrane. Exocytosis proceeds as an initial rapid phase that peaks and declines over 3 min followed by a prolonged phase that decays to near basal levels over 20-30 min. Studies indicate the early phase is triggered by Ca(2+) and involves the SG proteins VAMP2 (vesicle associated membrane protein2), Ca(2+)-sensing protein synatotagmin 1 (syt1) and the accessory protein complexin 2. The molecular details for regulation of VAMP8-mediated SG exocytosis and the prolonged phase of secretion are still emerging. Here we review the known regulatory molecules that impact the sequential exocytic process of SG tethering, docking, priming and fusion in acinar cells.

Inhibition of Ca(2+)-regulated exocytosis by levetiracetam, a ligand for SV2A, in antral mucous cells of guinea pigs. Eur J Pharmacol 2013; 721:185-92.

Abstract
Levtiracetam (Lev), an inhibitor of SV2A (synaptic vesicle protein A2), affected the ATP-dependent priming of Ca(2+)-regulated exocytosis in antral mucous cells of guinea pig. In antral mucous cells, the Ca(2+)-regulated exocytosis, which is activated by acetylcholine (ACh), consists of an initial peak that declines rapidly (initial phase) followed by a second slower decline (late phase). Dinitrophenol (DNP), which depletes ATP, inhibits the ATP-dependent priming. DNP abolished the initial phase by reducing the number of primed granules, Lev decreased the frequency of initial phase, but not in the presence of DNP. Moreover, 8-bromoguanosine 3'5'-cyclic monophosphate (8BrcGMP) accelerates the ATP-dependent priming. 8BrcGMP enhances the frequency of initial phase by increasing the number of primed granule. Lev added prior to 8BrcGMP addition decreased the frequency of initial phase, but Lev added after 8BrcGMP addition did not. Thus, Lev affected the granules in the process of priming, but it did not affect the granules already primed. Lev did not affect [Ca(2+)]i in unstimulated or ACh-stimulated antral mucous cells. Immunohistochemistry and western blotting demonstrated that SV2A exists in antral mucous cells. The results suggest that SV2A plays an essential role in maintaining the process of ATP-dependent priming in antral mucous cells. In conclusion, Lev decreases the frequency of Ca(2+)-regulated exocytosis the number of primed granules by inhibiting SV2A functions, leading to a decrease in antral mucous cells.

Abstract
In antral mucous cells, acetylcholine (ACh, 1 μM) activates Ca(2+)-regulated exocytosis, consisting of an initial peak that declines rapidly (initial transient phase) followed by a second slower decline (late phase) lasting during ACh stimulation. The addition of 8-bromo-cGMP (8-BrcGMP) enhanced the initial phase, which was inhibited by the protein kinase G (PKG) inhibitor guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphorothoiate, β-phenyl-1,N(2)-etheno-8-bromo, Rp-isomer, sodium salt (Rp-8-BrPETcGMPS, 100 nM). However, Rp-8-BrPETcGMPS produced a delayed, but transient, increase in the exocytotic frequency during the late phase that was abolished by a protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor (PKI-amide), suggesting that Rp-8-BrPETcGMPS accumulates cAMP. The cGMP-dependent phosphodiesterase 2 (PDE2), which degrades cAMP, may exist in antral mucous cells. The PDE2 inhibitor BAY-60-7550 (250 nM) mimicked the effect of Rp-8-BrPETcGMPS on ACh-stimulated exocytosis. Measurement of the cGMP and cAMP contents in antral mucosae revealed that ACh stimulates the accumulation of cGMP and that BAY-60-7550 accumulates cAMP similarly to Rp-8-BrPETcGMPS during ACh stimulation. Analyses of Western blot and immunohistochemistry demonstrated that PDE2A exists in antral mucous cells. In conclusion, Rp-8-BrPETcGMPS accumulates cAMP by inhibiting PDE2 in ACh-stimulated antral mucous cells, leading to the delayed, but transient, increase in the frequency of Ca(2+)-regulated exocytosis. PDE2 may prevent antral mucous cells from excessive mucin secretion caused by the cAMP accumulation.

Abstract
In guinea pig antral mucous cells, ACh stimulates the Ca(2+)-regulated exocytosis, which has a characteristics feature: an initial transient phase followed by a sustained phase. The effects of cGMP on ACh-stimulated exocytosis were studied in guinea pig antral mucous cells using video microscopy. cGMP enhanced the frequency of ACh-stimulated exocytotic events, whereas cGMP alone did not induce any exocytotic events under the ACh-unstimulated condition. cGMP did not stimulate either Ca(2+) mobilization or cAMP accumulation. The Ca(2+) dose-response studies demonstrated that cGMP shifted the dose-response curve upward with no shift to the lower concentration. This indicates that cGMP increased maximal responsiveness of the Ca(2+)-regulated exocytosis, but not the Ca(2+) sensitivity. Moreover, under a condition of ATP depletion by dinitrophenol (DNP) or anoxia (N(2) bubbling), ACh evoked only a sustained phase in exocytotic events with no initial transient phase. However, ACh evoked an initial transient phase followed by a sustained phase with addition of cGMP before ATP depletion, whereas only a sustained phase was evoked in a case of cGMP addition after ATP depletion. Thus cGMP-induced enhancement in ACh-stimulated exocytotic events requires ATP, suggesting that cGMP modulates ATP-dependent priming of Ca(2+)-regulated exocytosis in antral mucous cells. In conclusion, cGMP increases the number of primed granules via acceleration of the ATP-dependent priming, which enhances the Ca(2+)-regulated exocytosis stimulated by ACh.

Abstract
The effects of indomethacin (IDM) and aspirin (ASA) on ACh (10 microM) -stimulated exocytotic events were studied in guinea pig antral mucous cells by using video optical microscopy. IDM or ASA, which inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX), decreased the frequency of ACh-stimulated exocytotic events by 30% or 60%, respectively. The extent of inhibition induced by ASA (60%) decreased by 30% when IDM or arachidonic acid (AA, the substrate of COX) was added. IDM, unlike ASA, appears to induce the accumulation of AA, which enhances the frequency of ACh-stimulated exocytotic events in ASA-treated cells. ONO-8713 (100 microM; an inhibitor of the EP1-EP4 prostaglandin receptors) and N-[2-((p-bromocinnamyl)amino)ethyl]-5-isoquinolinesulfonamide, HCl (H-89, 20 microM; an inhibitor of PKA) also decreased the frequency of ACh-stimulated exocytotic events by 60%. However, the supplementation of PGE(2) (1 microM) prevented the IDM-induced decrease in the frequency of ACh-stimulated exocytotic events. SC-560 (an inhibitor of COX-1) decreased the frequency of ACh-stimulated exocytotic events by 30%, but NS-398 (an inhibitor of COX-2) did not. Moreover, IDM decreased the frequency of exocytotic events stimulated by ionomycin, suggesting that COX-1 activity is stimulated by an increase in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)). ACh and ionomycin increased PGE(2) release in antral mucosal cells. In conclusion, in ACh-stimulated antral mucous cells, an increase in [Ca(2+)](i) activates Ca(2+)-regulated exocytotic events and PGE(2) release mediated by COX-1. The released PGE(2) induces the accumulation of cAMP, which enhances the Ca(2+)-regulated exocytosis. The autocrine mechanism mediated by PGE(2) maintains the high-level mucin release from antral mucous cells during ACh stimulation.

Abstract
Effects of cAMP accumulation on ATP-dependent priming and Ca(2+)-dependent fusion in Ca(2+)-regulated exocytosis were examined in antral mucous cells of guinea pigs by using video-enhanced contrast microscopy. The Ca(2+)-regulated exocytosis activated by 1 microM ACh consisted of two phases, an initial transient phase followed by a sustained phase, which were potentiated by cAMP accumulation. Depletion of ATP by 100 microM dinitrophenol (uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation) or anoxia induced the sustained phase without the initial transient phase in Ca(2+)-regulated exocytosis. However, accumulation of cAMP before depletion of ATP induced and potentiated an initial transient phase followed by a sustained phase in Ca(2+)-regulated exocytosis. This suggests that the initial transient phase of Ca(2+)-regulated exocytosis is induced by fusion of all primed granules maintained by ATP and that accumulation of cAMP accelerates ATP-dependent priming of the exocytotic cycle. Moreover, ACh and Ca(2+) dose-response studies showed that accumulation of cAMP shifted the dose-response curves to the low concentration side, suggesting that it increases Ca(2+) sensitivity in the fusion of the exocytotic cycle. In conclusion, cAMP accumulation increases the number of primed granules and Ca(2+) sensitivity of the fusion, which potentiates Ca(2+)-regulated exocytosis in antral mucous cells.

Abstract
An adequate understanding of secretion requires the measurement of exocytosis on the same time scale as that used for second messenger dynamics. To investigate the kinetics of ACh-evoked secretion in pancreatic acinar cells, exocytosis of zymogen granules was quantified by continuous, time-differential analysis of digital images. The validity of this method was confirmed by simultaneous fluorescence imaging of quinacrine-loaded zymogen granules. Basal rates of exocytosis were low (0.2 events min(-1)). ACh stimulated a biphasic increase in secretory activity, maximal rates exceeding 20 events min(-1) after 10 s of ACh application (10 microM). Over the next 15 s the rate of exocytosis fell to less than 4 events min(-1); then began a second phase of secretion that peaked 15 s later at approximately 11 events min(-1), but subsequently declined in the continued presence of agonist. Measurements of fura-2 fluorescence demonstrated a biphasic increase in intracellular [Ca2+] ([Ca2+]i). Comparison of the [Ca2+]i records and time-differential analysis revealed that the fall in exocytotic rate following the initial burst occurred despite the fact that [Ca2+]i remained high. The second phase of secretion depended on both [Ca2+]i and [ACh]. At 10 microM ACh there was a decrease in the steepness of the relationship between [Ca2+]i and exocytosis that led to an enhancement of the slow secretory phase. We propose that acinar cells contain two pools of secretory vesicles: a small pool of granules that is exocytosed rapidly, but is quickly depleted; and a reserve pool of granules that can be recruited by ACh in a process that is modulated by second messengers other than calcium.

Abstract
1. A column perfusion system was applied to rat parotid acinar cells to clarify the roles of Ca2+ and protein kinase C (PKC) in the mechanisms of carbachol (CCh)-induced amylase secretion. 2. CCh evoked a biphasic response of amylase secretion with an initial rapid and large peak that reached maximum at about 10 s followed by a sustained plateau. The time profile and the dose-response relationship paralleled with those of cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). 3. The CCh-induced sustained response of amylase secretion maintained by Ca2+ influx into cells was ATP dependent, while the initial peak response regulated by Ca2+ released from InsP3-sensitive stores was relatively ATP independent. 4. Restoration of extracellular Ca2+ during continuous stimulation with CCh in Ca(2+)-free medium evoked a second rapid and large peak of amylase secretion. 5. Phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu) potentiated the CCh-induced amylase secretion in both the initial peak and the sustained plateau without enhancing CCh-induced [Ca2+]i changes. 6. PKC inhibitors such as Ro 31-8220 inhibited the potentiating effect of PDBu but only slightly reduced amylase secretion induced by CCh alone. 7. These results suggest that a CCh-induced rise in [Ca2+]i triggers the final fusion and/or exocytosis of amylase secretion. CCh also has some ability to promote ATP-dependent priming of secretory granules that, together with Ca2+ influxed into cells, contributes to the CCh-induced sustained plateau of amylase secretion. PDBu-induced activation of PKC promotes the priming of secretory granules, thereby enhancing the efficacy for Ca2+ to trigger fusion/exocytosis.

Abstract
At present little is known about how the low-affinity cholecystokinin receptor inhibits secretagogue-stimulated amylase secretion from pancreatic acinar cells. To examine this question we have determined how cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK8) influences Ca2+-dependent amylase secretion from alpha-toxin-permeabilized pancreatic acini. CCK8 significantly inhibited Ca2+-stimulated amylase secretion. The inhibitory actions of CCK8 were completely blocked by the addition of JMV-180, a specific antagonist for the low-affinity CCK8 receptor. Previous studies have shown that Ca2+-dependent amylase secretion from alpha-toxin-permeabilized acini has two distinct phases [Padfield and Panesar (1997) Am. J. Physiol. 36, G655-660]. There is an initial rapid phase of secretion which represents release from exocytotic sites primed by MgATP prior to permeabilization. This is followed by a slower sustained phase of secretion which, in part, reflects the MgATP-dependent repriming of the exocytotic machinery. CCK8 did not influence the initial rapid phase of the Ca2+-dependent secretory response, but inhibited the second slower sustained phase. Moreover, CCK8 was shown to inhibit the MgATP-dependent priming of exocytosis in the acini. These results indicate that the low-affinity CCK receptor blocks stimulated amylase secretion by inhibiting the MgATP-dependent repriming of exocytosis.
