Beta-adrenergic stimulation and cAMP mobilize Ca2+ from an IP3-insensitive pool in rat submandibular granular ducts

The beta-adrenergic agonist isoproterenol induced an increase in intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) in rat submandibular granular ducts that was blocked by beta-adrenergic but not by alpha-adrenergic or muscarinic antagonists. This effect was only partially inhibited by the selective beta 1- and beta 2-adrenergic antagonists atenolol and ICI-118,551, but was completely blocked by the combination of the two, suggesting the involvement of multiple (or atypical) beta-adrenergic receptor subtypes. The response to isoproterenol was mimicked by forskolin, 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, and dibutyryl adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate, but it was blocked by protein kinase inhibitors. The response of [Ca2+]i to isoproterenol was sustained in Ca(2+)-replete replete medium but transient in Ca(2+)-free medium, indicating the involvement of both Ca2+ entry and release from intracellular stores. However, isoproterenol stimulation produced no increase in ductal inositol phosphate levels. In addition, isoproterenol was still able to increase [Ca2+]i after the carbachol-induced depletion of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)-sensitive calcium stores. We conclude that isoproterenol, acting through cAMP, releases Ca2+ from an IP3-insensitive intracellular store in salivary granular ducts.
