| Abstract | 1. We have examined the effects of the immunosuppressive drugs cyclosporin A (CsA) and FK 506 on exocytosis in two in vitro preparations of the exocrine pancreas-lobules and dispersed acini. 2. In lobules taken from starved rats and stimulated with the secretagogue caerulein, both CsA and FK 506, given shortly before stimulation, caused a dose-dependent inhibition of amylase secretion. In lobules from rats that had been pretreated in vivo with the protease inhibitor FOY-305 to stimulate secretion maximally, both CsA and FK 506 inhibited secretion of newly synthesized proteins, whereas only FK 506 inhibited caerulein-stimulated amylase release. 3. These different effects of the immunosuppressants on amylase release were reflected in their effects on degranulation, as revealed by electron microscopy. Control acinar cells in lobules from FOY-305-treated rats were almost completely degranulated, whereas treatment with FK 506, but not CsA, caused the accumulation of zymogen granules close to the apical plasma membrane. 4. In dispersed acini, stimulated with the cholinomimetic secretagogue bethanechol, both CsA and FK 506 reduced the secretory response, to about 45% of control; IC50 values were 50 nM and 3 nM, respectively. A similar partial inhibition of exocytosis was seen in acini permeabilized with the bacterial toxin streptolysin O and stimulated with 10 microM Ca2+. 5. These results demonstrate that the immunosuppressants cause an inhibition of exocytosis in the exocrine pancreas that is both rapid in onset and potent.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
