| Abstract | Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) inhibits pancreatic enzyme secretion and shows a protective action against pancreatitis. In this study, we tested the effects of PGE2 on the slowly activating voltage-dependent K+ channel current (I Ks) and cholecystokinin (CCK)-induced oscillations of cytosolic [Ca2+] ([Ca2+]i) in rat pancreatic acini (RPA). I Ks in RPA is reportedly augmented by both Ca2+- and cAMP-mediated secretagogues. PGE2 (10–7 M) decreased the amplitude of I Ks, an effect that was more prominent following prior stimulation with secretin. The application of the membrane-permeable cAMP analogue 8-Br-cAMP prevented the effect of PGE2 on I Ks. The Ca2+-mediated augmentation of I Ks by ACh was unaffected by pretreatment with PGE2. Using fura-2 fluorescence ratiometry to assess [Ca2+]i, CCK (≤10–10 M)-induced Ca2+ oscillations were observed in RPAs. The amplitude of the Ca2+ oscillations was decreased by PGE2, irrespective of the presence of 8-Br-cAMP. RT-PCR analysis showed that RPAs express predominantly the EP3 subtype of the PGE2 receptor and its splice variants. Enzyme-immunoassay showed that the secretin-induced production of cAMP in RPAs was inhibited by treatment with PGE2. In summary, PGE2 acts on the EP3 receptors to antagonize the cAMP-generating effect of secretin, resulting in the decrease of I Ks. In addition, PGE2 suppresses CCK-induced Ca2+ oscillations in a cAMP-independent manner. These effects of PGE2 may explain the inhibitory action mechanism of PGE2 in the exocrine pancreas. |

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.
