Abstract
Ca2+ influx from the extracellular space in nonexcitable cells occurs via receptor-operated and refilling processes. However, they showed different characteristics with respect to the Mn2+ permeability, depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores, and sensitivity to the K+ ionophore valinomycin in rat pancreatic acinar cells. While Mn2+ did not enter into the cells during the refilling phase, the opposite was true in receptor-operated Ca2+ influx (ROCI) evoked by carbachol (CCh). ROCI occurred in the absence of intracellular Ca2+ release from the stores. Valinomycin abolished the second response of Ca2+ elicited by CCh, whereas it had no effect on ROCI. These observations suggest that receptor-operated Ca2+ channels (ROCCs) and refilling channels may be different in rat pancreatic acinar cells.
