Abstract
The effect of the phorbol ester TPA on catecholamine secretion was studied in cultured bovine adrenal chromaffin cells. The pretreatment of chromaffin cells with TPA caused the enhancement of catecholamine secretion induced by the calcium ionophore, A23187. By contrast, neither carbachol-nor high K+-induced secretion was changed by TPA pretreatment. These results support the concept that protein kinase C plays an important role as a factor transducing the Ca2+ signal to the exocytotic process of catecholamine secretion in bovine adrenal chromaffin cells.
