| Abstract | 1. The mouse AtT-20/D16-16 anterior pituitary tumour cell line was used as a model system for the study of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-mediated enhancement of calcium-evoked adrenocorticotrophin (ACTH) secretion. 2. PMA stimulated ACTH secretion from intact cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Other phorbol esters; phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu) and phorbol 12,13-didecanoate (PDD) and diacylglycerol analogues; 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol (OAG) and 1,2-dioctanoyl-sn-glycerol (DOG) also stimulated ACTH release from intact AtT-20 cells. This would suggest that activation of protein kinase C (PKC) stimulates ACTH secretion from AtT-20 cells. 3. Calcium stimulated ACTH secretion from electrically-permeabilized cells over the concentration-range of 10(-7) M to 10(-5) M. PMA (10(-7) M) enhanced the amount of ACTH secreted at every concentration of calcium investigated. The PKC inhibitor, chelerythrine (10(-5) M) blocked the PMA (10(-7) M)-evoked enhancement of calcium (10(-5) M)-stimulated ACTH secretion but did not alter significantly the calcium (10(-5) M)-evoked secretion itself. This suggests that PKC modulates the secretory response to increases in intracellular calcium but does not mediate the effects of calcium. 4. Guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP-gamma-S, 10(-5) M) stimulated ACTH secretion from permeabilized cells in the absence of calcium and was additive with calcium-evoked ACTH secretion up to a maximum value which could be achieved by calcium acting alone. This suggests that a GTP-binding protein mediates the secretory response to increases in the intracellular calcium. PMA (10-7 M) enhanced ACTH secretion stimulated by the combination of calcium and GTP-gamma-S (10-5 M).5. GTP-gamma-S stimulated ACTH secretion from permeabilized cells in a concentration-dependent manner with a threshold of 10-6 M. PMA (10-7 M) increased the amount of ACTH secretion evoked by every concentration of GTP-gamma-S investigated. Chelerythrine (10-s M) blocked the PMA (10-7 M)-evoked enhancement of GTP-gamma-S (10-4 M)-stimulated ACTH secretion but did not significantly alter GTP-gamma-S(10-4 M)-evoked secretion itself. This suggests that PKC modulates the secretory response to GTP-gamma-S but does not mediate the effects of GTP-gamma-S.6. GTP-gamma-S (10-8-10-4-M) stimulated ACTH secretion from permeabilized cells either in the presence or absence of ATP (5 mM) indicating that its effects on secretion are ATP-independent.7. The results of the present study support the hypothesis that, in AtT-20 cells, PMA is acting at some site distal to calcium entry which modulates the ability of an increase in cytosolic calcium concentration to stimulate ACTH secretion. This site of action is either at the level of or at some stage distal to a GTP-binding protein which mediates the effects of calcium upon secretion.8. PMA, unlike adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP) (Guild, 1991), can stimulate ACTH secretion from permeabilized cells in the absence of added calcium and guanine nucleotides which suggests that PMA and cyclic AMP are acting through distinct mechanisms at this post calcium site of action. |

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.
