Abstract:
:The gonadotropin secretory response of anterior pituitary cells to phorbol esters includes both extracellular Ca2(+)-dependent and -independent components (Stojilković et al, 1988; J. Biol. Chem. 263, 17301-17306, 1988). In cultured pituitary cells, measurements of [Ca2+]i using Fura-2 and of LH release during cell perifusion studies revealed that the initial effects of phorbols and permeant diacylglycerols on these responses are extracellular Ca2(+)-dependent and are mediated through activation of voltage- and dihydropyridine-sensitive calcium channels. On the other hand, pretreatment with phorbol esters for 30 to 60 min inhibited subsequent [Ca2+]i responses to diacylglycerols and phorbols and significantly reduced agonist-induced biphasic [Ca2+]i responses, with no change in the number of GnRH receptors. These findings demonstrate that protein kinase C exerts both positive and negative control of [Ca2+]i, and indicate that the calcium, phospholipid dependent enzyme participates in the activation of voltage-sensitive calcium channels and hormone secretion in pituitary gonadotrophs.
