Abstract
Forskolin, 1 .mu.M, increased acetylcholine (ACh)-stimulated 45Ca uptake by chromaffin cells. The stimulatory effects of forskolin decreased with increasing concentration of ACh. The attenuation of the effect of forskolin on 45Ca uptake as a function of ACh concentration correlated well with changes in the forskolin effect on ACh-evoked catecholamine (CA) release. Forskolin increased excess KCl- and veratrine-evoked CA release and 45Ca uptake. Forskolin by itself stimulated 45Ca efflux and enhanced ACh-, excess KCl-, and veratrine-stimulated 45Ca efflux. High doses of forskolin inhibited both ACh-evoked 45Ca uptake and CA release. The inhibitory action of forskolin was specific to receptor-mediated response because excess KCl- and veratrine-stimulated 45Ca uptake and CA release were not inhibited. Forskolin, 0.3-30 .mu.M, dose-dependently increased caffeine-stimulated CA release and 45Ca efflux in the absence of Ca2+ in the medium, and the effects were mimicked by dibutyryl cyclic AMP. These results suggest that cyclic AMP increases stimulation-induced CA release by enhancing calcium uptake across the plasma membrane and/or altering calcium flux in an intracellular calcium store.Keywords
