ABSTRACT
Chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla transduce sympathetic nerve activity into stress hormone secretion. The two neurotransmitters principally responsible for coupling cell stimulation to secretion are acetylcholine and pituitary adenylate activating polypeptide (PACAP). In contrast to acetylcholine, PACAP evokes a persistent secretory response from chromaffin cells. However, the mechanisms by which PACAP acts are poorly understood. Here, it is shown that PACAP induces sustained increases in cytosolic Ca2+ which are disrupted when Ca2+ influx through L-type channels is blocked or internal Ca2+ stores are depleted. PACAP liberates stored Ca2+ via inositol trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), thereby functionally coupling Ca2+ mobilization to Ca2+ influx and supporting Ca2+-induced Ca2+-release. These Ca2+ influx and mobilization pathways are unified by an absolute dependence on phospholipase C epsilon (PLCε) activity. Thus, the persistent secretory response that is a defining feature of PACAP activity, in situ, is regulated by a signaling network that promotes sustained elevations in intracellular Ca2+ through multiple pathways.
