The effect of pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) on catecholamine secretion with ouabain, an inhibitor of Na(+)-K+ ATPase, in cultured bovine adrenal chromaffin cells was examined, to determine whether movement of Na+, as well as Ca2+, is involved in the secretory process. PACAP (10(-10)-10(-6)M)-induced catecholamine secretion was markedly potentiated by addition of ouabain (10(-5)M). When cultured cells were preincubated with PACAP for 30 min in Ca(2+)-free medium in the presence of ouabain and then stimulated for 15 min with Ca(2+)-containing medium without PACAP or ouabain, their catecholamine secretion was dependent on the external Ca2+ concentration, and 45Ca2+ influx into the cells was increased. When the cells had been preincubated with PACAP and ouabain in Na(+)-free sucrose medium, their Ca(2+)-induced catecholamine secretion was greatly reduced. PACAP increased 22Na+ influx into cells treated with ouabain. These results suggest that stimulation by PACAP and inhibition of the Na(+)-pump both increase the intracellular Na+ level, resulting in increase in Ca2+ influx and catecholamine secretion.
