Temperature effects in the stimulus-secretion process from isolated chromaffin cells.

Y Hiram, A Nir, A Greenberg

    Biophysical Journal
    |April 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Temperature impacts catecholamine (CA) release from adrenal medulla cells differently depending on the stimulus. Acetylcholine (ACH) shows a peak release at 30°C, unlike other stimuli.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Cell Biology
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Stimulus-secretion coupling is crucial for releasing signaling molecules like catecholamines (CA).
    • Understanding temperature's role in this process is key to elucidating cellular mechanisms.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the effects of varying temperatures on catecholamine secretion from bovine adrenal medulla cells.
    • To differentiate temperature-dependent mechanisms triggered by various secretagogues.

    Main Methods:

    • Isolated bovine adrenal medulla chromaffin cells were used.
    • Catecholamine release was induced using acetylcholine (ACH), high potassium (K+), and calcium ionophore A23187.
    • Cells were incubated at various temperatures to measure secretion.

    Main Results:

    • High K+ and A23187 induced a monotonic increase in CA secretion with rising temperature.
    • ACH-induced secretion displayed a maximum release at 30°C, with distinct temperature dependencies in activation and desensitization stages.
    • A model revealed temperature-dependent parameters with three distinct regions of secretory activity.

    Conclusions:

    • Temperature influences catecholamine secretion through stimulus-specific pathways.
    • Transitions in temperature dependence suggest alterations in plasma and secretory granule membrane properties.
    • Membrane interactions are critical for understanding CA secretion mechanisms.
