Abstract：
:The effects of age and chronic propranolol treatment on the agonist-induced rise in intracellular free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i), an index for the coupling of receptor-second messenger generation, was studied using a dispersed rat submandibular gland preparation. Muscarinic stimulation (10 microns carbachol) caused a rapid (T1/2 less than 2 s) and dramatic (approximately 4.5-fold) rise in [Ca2+]i followed by a lower sustained increase (approximately 3-fold) in [Ca2+]i as measured directly with the Ca(2+)-sensitive fluorescent probe, fura-2. The magnitude and the rate of increase of the initial rise in [Ca2+]i and the level of the sustained increase in [Ca2+]i were not different between 2- an 21-month-old rats. Stimulation in a Ca(2+)-free medium reduced the initial agonist-induced increase in [Ca2+]i by approximately 35-40%, while the sustained increase was abolished by the removal of extracellular Ca2+ from cells in both young and old rats. Chronic treatment for 30 days with 20 mg/kg propranolol, a beta-adrenergic antagonist, did not significantly alter the ability of dispersed submandibular cells in old rats to mobilize Ca2+ during agonist stimulation or influence the in vivo stimulated gland output. These results suggest that the agonist-induced rise in [Ca2+]i is not altered by aging or by chronic treatment of aged rats with propranolol and, therefore, receptor-second messenger coupling remains intact.
