## Abstract Stimulation of chief cells with carbachol or cholecystokinin (CCK) results in the production of inositol trisphosphate (IP~3~) and diacylglycerol (DAG). Although IP~3~ increases cell calcium concentration, thereby stimulating pepsinogen secretion, the role of DAG and its target, protein

An antibody to the mammalian protein kinase C alpha (PKCalpha) subunit and brain dissection was used for immunoblot analysis of this protein in various brain regions of Apteronotus leptorhynchus. Western blots revealed that the antibody labeled a band of the expected molecular mass (approximately 80
Both protein kinase C and cytosolic Ca2+ are involved in the regulation of exocytosis in a number of cell types. However, the relative importance of each of these for apical exocytosis in the hepatocyte is unknown. To investigate this, we studied the effects of protein kinase C and Ca2 + agonists on
The effects of phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) and dexamethasone on protein kinase C (PK-C) activity and eicosanoid production were characterized in primary cultures of rat glial cells. PMA (1,000 ng/ml) treatment for 2 hr resulted in a maximal effect (a 4-fold increase in PGE, production). Longer e
The role of hormones in the regulation of bile secretion is not known; however vasoactive agents, which act via the phosphoinositide signal transduction pathway, may mediate changes in bile flow by altering the hepatic microvasculature. We therefore examined the effects of phorbol esters and diacylg
EL 4-6.1 cells, variants of the murine EL4 thymoma cell line, can be activated by interleukin 1 (IL-I 1 or phorbol 12-myristdte-13-dcetate (PMA), or PMA + IL-I to secrete interleukin 2 (IL-2) and interleukin 4 (IL-4) and to express the IL-2 receptor (IL-2R). To compare the different activation pathw
