37Ca2+ Signaling
the cytosol from intracellular stores[12]. It was estab­lished many years ago that the initial secretory response to stimulation with either ACh or CCK is independent of extracellular Ca2+[13], whereas sustained secretion is acutely dependent on external Ca2+ (Fig.4.1c). This is explained by the limited capacity of the intracellular Ca2+ stores and the fact that release of Ca2+ from stores into the cytosol inevitably activates Ca2+ pumps in the plasma membrane extruding Ca2+, so that after a shorter or longer period of stimulation (depending on the intensity of stimulation) the contents of the intra­cellular Ca2+ stores have been exported to the extracel­lular solution [14]. A reduction of [Ca2+] in the intracellular stores activates a process known as store­operated Ca2+ entry. A signal is transmitted from the stores to the plasma membrane activating special Ca2+ channels (store-
operated channels) that allow Ca2+
entry[15]. It is this Ca
2+
entry process that sustains the secretory response during prolonged stimulation, after the stores have been emptied.
Ca2+ Signaling
It is well established that stimulation of acinar cells with either ACh or CCK elicits a rise in [Ca2+]i (Fig.4.2). At low, physiologically relevant, concentrations of neuro­transmitter or hormone, the typical Ca2+ signal pattern consists of repetitive [Ca2+]i spikes confined to the apical (granular) pole, as originally shown in 1993 [17]. Increasing the stimulating agonist concentration causes Ca2+ signal globalization, a process whereby a local Ca2+ signal initiated in the apical pole spreads as a wave from the apex to the base of the cell (Fig.4.2).

Organelles Important for Ca2+ Homeostasis
Early work in the 1970s on Ca2+ transport in exocrine glands indicated that ACh evokes Ca2+ signals in acinar cells by causing release of Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)[7] but, for many years, the link between ACh occupation of muscarinic receptors on the cell sur­face and the outflow of Ca2+ from the ER was obscure. In 1983, Irene Schulz and Michael Berridge discovered that the intracellular water- soluble messenger inositol 1,4,5- trisphosphate (IP3), generated inside the cell by receptor- activated phospholipase C action on a membrane phospholipid, phosphatidylinositol 4,5- bisphosphate (PIP2), releases Ca2+ from the ER in permeabilized pancre­atic acinar cells[18]. All subsequent work on many differ­ent cell types confirmed the generality of the concept that hormone­release is mediated principally via IP3- evoked Ca2+ release from the ER [7,19]. Although the original discovery of

cells[18], there are difficulties in applying this concept to these particular cells. The problem is that the physiologi­cally relevant Ca2+ signals occur specifically in the apical granular pole (see Fig.4.2), which contains mostly ZG and little ER. This difficulty was finally overcome by the results of the so- called Ca2+ tunnel experiments, in which it could be shown that Ca2+ taken up at the base of the cell into the ER could diffuse easily in the ER lumen and reach the apex via thin ER extensions penetrating deeply into the granu­lar area between the ZGs (see Fig.4.3). Upon stimulation, Ca2+ is released primarily from the ER elements in the api­cal pole due to the high concentration of ER Ca2+ release channels specifically in this part of the cell (Fig.4.3)[20,22].
It was initially a surprise that cytosolic Ca2+ signals ini­tiated in the apical pole could remain local in such a rela­tively small cell (~20 μm diameter). This could not be easily understood before it was discovered that the mito­chondria in the acinar cell are distributed in a very specific manner [23]. The mitochondria are primarily

apical granular pole from the rest of the cell (see Figs4.2 and4.3). Due to their ability to take up Ca2+, the mito­chondria function as a Ca2+ diffusion barrier, effectively acting as a firewall preventing the spread of cytosolic Ca2+ signals from the apical pole into the basal part of the cell containing the nucleus (Fig.4.3). The nucleus is well protected against Ca2+ signal invasion from the apical pole, since there is an additional mitochondrial belt sur­rounding the nucleus (Fig.4.2). Finally, there is a concen­tration of mitochondria just beneath the plasma membrane (Fig. 4.2). The general concept that has emerged from studies of Ca2+ transport in the cytosol, ER, and mitochondria is that Ca2+ moves easily in the ER lumen, but with much more difficulty in the cytosol, due to the barriers created by the mitochondria[7,24].
The fact that the physiologically most important Ca
2+
signals occur in the apical granular area has also prompted interest in the possibility that Ca2+ could be released from ZG and other acid pools in the apical pole. In studies on isolated ZG, it was shown that both IP3 and another Ca2+- releasing messenger, cyclic ADP- ribose (cADPR, derived from NAD) can liberate Ca2+ stored in this organelle (see Fig.4.4). It has been clear for a long time that ACh causes intracellular Ca2+ release via gen­eration of IP3, acting primarily on the ER. It is now equally clear that CCK releases Ca2+ via generation of NAADP [7,26,27] and that NAADP primarily acts on acid stores (Fig. 4.4a). This may explain the somewhat different Ca2+ signal patterns that can be generated by CCK and ACh[28].
Mechanisms of Ca2+ Signal Generation
Figure4.4 illustrates some of the most important steps. As already mentioned, there are two major signal transduction pathways, one initiated by hormonal (CCK) stimulation and the other by nervous (ACh) stimulation. CCK acts on high- affinity CCK1 receptors in the basolateral plasma membrane [29,30], whereas ACh acts on muscarinic M3 receptors, which are also localized predominantly in the basolateral membrane[16]. With state- of- the- art imaging technology, it is now possible to visualize some of the most important signal transduction steps.
Figure4.5 demonstrates the ACh- elicited breakdown of PIP2 in the basolateral membrane and the appearance of the water- soluble Ca2+- releasing messenger IP3 in the cytosol. The enzyme responsible for PIP2 breakdown, phospholipase C, can in some cases be Ca2+ activated. However, the experimental result shown in Fig.4.5 dem­onstrates that, at least in the pancreatic acinar cell, the disappearance of PIP2 from the plasma membrane and the appearance of IP3 in the cytosol are not secondary to
2+
Ca
signal generation, since a directly generated Ca2+ signal (via uncaging of Ca2+ in the cytosol) does not induce these effects, whereas ACh does.
Direct infusion of IP3 into isolated cells elicits repeti­tive cytosolic Ca2+ spikes confined to the apical granular pole (see Fig. 4.6), in this way mimicking the effect of externally applied ACh (see Fig.4.2). The importance of functional IP3 receptors (IP3R) for ACh- elicited Ca2+ sig­nal generation and secretion in pancreatic acinar cells has been demonstrated very clearly by knockout experi­ments, in which it was shown that knockout of either type 2 or type 3 IP3R had very little effect, whereas dou­ble knockout of both these receptors abolished ACh­elicited Ca2+ signal generation as well as secretion[34]. This directly confirms earlier data in which it was shown that intracellular infusion of the IP3R antagonist heparin abolished both IP
- and ACh- elicited Ca2+ spiking[35].

NAADP is a real intracellular messenger for CCK­induced activation of pancreatic acinar cells. Work from Galione’s group in Oxford shows that physiologic CCK concentrations (1–10 pmol/L) evoke clear and dose­dependent increases in the cellular NAADP concentra­tion. This effect is specific for CCK, since ACh has no effect on the NAADP level[26].
Intracellular infusion of NAADP, even at concentrations much lower (nanomolar) than those needed to obtain effects of IP3 or cADPR, elicits repetitive cytosolic Ca2+ spikes in the apical pole that look very similar to those generated by IP3 and cADPR[32]. The NAADP receptor has the interesting property that it can be inactivated by relatively high (micromolar) intracellular NAADP con­centrations. Using such selective inhibition of the NAADP receptor, it has been shown that Ca2+ spiking evoked by physiologic CCK concentrations (<10 pmol/L) is blocked by a high intracellular NAADP concentration. This block­ing effect is specific for the CCK response, since ACh­elicited Ca2+ spiking is unaffected[36]. Furthermore, the NAADP antagonist Ned- 19 blocks CCK- elicited Ca2+ spiking, but has no effect on the action of ACh[27].
Although ACh and CCK initiate Ca2+ signaling via dif­ferent pathways (see Fig.4.4a), these ultimately converge and the measurable local apical Ca2+ transients are due to positive and negative feedback interactions between IP3R and RyR on the ER (Fig.4.4a). These Ca2+- mediated positive and negative interactions are functionally important. For example, a Ca2+ signal initiated by an increase in the intracellular IP3 concentration will subse­quently activate RyR, inducing further Ca2+ release. This positive feed- forward effect explains the rising phase of the cytosolic Ca2+ spike. However, at a higher level of [Ca2+]i, a further [Ca2+]i rise inhibits opening of both IP3R and RyR. This explains the falling phase of the spike [7,37]. It has recently become clear that there is another class of channel involved in intracellular Ca2+

is also very important for both physiology and pathology to consider the overall cellular Ca2+ homeostasis, that is, Ca2+ entry and exit. All cells have to be protected against cellular Ca2+ overload, since it is well established that this causes cell death [38]. The plasma membrane must therefore be relatively impermeable to Ca
2+
and there must be mechanisms for cellular Ca2+ extrusion. Ca2+ entry and exit across the plasma membrane of pancreatic acinar cells is controlled by specific transport mecha­nisms. Unlike many electrically excitable cells (e.g., car­diac cells), the acinar cells do not possess functional Na Ca2+ exchangers, so that the only mechanism for extrud­ing Ca2+ across the plasma membrane is via the plasma membrane Ca2+- activated ATPase (PMCA) [25]. This pump is activated by increases in [Ca2+]i above the basal level of 0.1 μmol/L, but has limited capacity. Interestingly, this pump is not uniformly distributed over the plasma membrane, but is specifically concentrated in the apical plasma membrane and therefore extrudes Ca2+ princi­pally into the acinar lumen (see Fig.4.7). The concentra­tion of the pump in the apical membrane is functionally
important, since the principal intracellular Ca sites are located in the apical pole (Figs4.2 and4.6), but carries the risk that Ca2+ overload, due to inappropriate Ca2+ entry across the basal membrane in pathologic con­ditions, cannot be dealt with adequately[25].
Physiologic stimulation of acinar cells does not pri­marily increase the permeability of the plasma mem­brane for Ca

short- lasting Ca2+ spikes localized specifically in the critical apical region (Figs4.2 and4.6). These spikes are essentially independent of external Ca2+ and are due to repetitive release of small amounts of Ca2+ from the ER[7,48].
Can the short- lasting local Ca2+ spikes, evoked by low agonist concentrations or direct intracellular messenger infusion, control secretion? The most sensitive method for evaluating exocytotic secretion is measurement of membrane capacitance. When granules fuse with the plasma membrane, the surface area of the plasma mem­brane increases, but only transiently since the additional membrane inserted is subsequently removed by the pro­cess of endocytosis. As shown in Fig.4.6 (inset), there is indeed a transient increase in the pancreatic acinar mem­brane capacitance during an individual short- lasting

Ca2+- Mediated Control of Fluid Secretion
How is acinar fluid secretion regulated? The generally accepted model for isotonic fluid secretion by exocrine glands is illustrated in Fig. 4.1a. The principal step for activation of fluid secretion is Ca Cl− channels, which are specifically located in the apical plasma membrane[49]. This will cause Cl− exit into the acinar lumen. The increased lumen negativity will attract cations and the principal extracellular cation, Na+, will move through the very leaky junctions between the acinar

cells, which are named (inappropriately!) tight junctions. These junctions sit very close to the apical membrane and separate the luminal fluid compartment from the basal and interstitial compartments, and also separate the very different properties of the apical and basolateral mem­branes (Fig.4.1a). NaCl in the acinar lumen will osmoti­cally attract water, which can pass through both the cell membranes (via aquaporins) and the tight junctions.
The principal activating step of acinar fluid secretion, namely the exit of Cl− from the cell interior to the lumen through Ca2+- activated Cl− channels, only occurs if there is an electrochemical gradient favoring transport in this direction. The intracellular Cl− concentration must be held above thermodynamic equilibrium and a Cl−­accumulating mechanism is therefore needed. As shown in Fig. 4.1a, a Na+/K+/2Cl− cotransporter is situated in the basolateral membrane (for graphical convenience shown in Fig.4.1a only in the basal membrane). Energy for this process comes from the transmembrane Na+ gra­dient established by the Na+/K+ pump, which is also situ­ated in the basolateral membrane. Increased Cl− secretion requires stimulation of the Na+ pump, which occurs via the increased intracellular Na+ concentration mediated by enhanced turnover of the Na+/K+/2Cl− cotransporter. This in turn requires additional K+ cycling across the plasma membrane, which is mediated by Ca2+ activation of specific K+ channels situated in the basolateral mem­brane (Fig.4.1a).
As seen in Fig.4.1a, it is the concerted Ca2+ activation of Cl− and K+ channels that controls the fluid secretion process. It is important to understand that the whole of the basolateral membrane is uniform with regard to dis­tribution of surface membrane ion channels. Thus, the Ca2+- activated K+ channels are found not only in thebasal membrane as illustrated in Fig.4.1a, but also in the lat­eral membranes, up to the tight junctions. Therefore, local apical Ca2+ signals will be able to activate both Cl− channels in the apical membrane and K+ channels in the part of the lateral membrane close to the tight junctions. A limited amount of fluid secretion can proceed without special activation of K
+
channels, since rodent pancreatic acinar cells lack Ca2+- activated K+ channels [12]. If the resting K+ permeability is sufficiently high, recirculation of K+ can still occur. However, human pancreatic acinar cells, like all salivary and lacrimal glands in all species so far studied, do possess very sensitive Ca2+- activated K+ channels, which undoubtedly contribute to the fine regu­lation of human acinar fluid secretion[50]. In the human acinar cells, these Cl
and K+ channels will be activated by the short- lasting repetitive local Ca2+ signals in the secre­tory granule region, which have been directly demon­strated in response to stimulation with either ACh or physiologic concentrations (low pM) of CCK[51].
Dangers of Ca2+ Signaling
As described in this chapter, local Ca2+ signaling elic­ited by physiologically relevant agonist concentrations is a remarkably precise mechanism for fine regulation of pancreatic acinar secretion (Fig.4.6). These Ca2+ sig­nals also control the production of ATP (Fig.4.3), which is required to fuel both fluid and enzyme secretion. However, Ca2+ signaling carries a risk of cellular Ca2+ overload, which has the capacity to kill cells[7]. This occurs when acinar cells are hyperstimulated with, for example, CCK. In this situation Ca2+ spiking is replaced by a sustained elevated [Ca2+]i which, by a still poorly understood mechanism, activates the digestive pro­teases inside the cells [25]. The sustained elevated [Ca2+]i is due to open CRAC channels and can be mark­edly reduced by CRAC channel inhibitors[7,41–43]. A sustained elevated [Ca lasting Ca2+ spikes, does not stimulate mitochondrial ATP production, but inhibits it[52]. The combination of a global and sustained high [Ca2+]i with a low cyto­solic ATP level is lethal[7,53].
Intracellular digestive enzyme activation is a hall­mark of pancreatitis, which is mostly related to biliary disease or excessive alcohol intake. Both bile- related and alcohol- related acute pancreatitis are due to cyto­solic and mitochondrial Ca2+ overload, which have been brought about by excessive opening of CRAC channels in the plasma membrane triggered by exces­sive release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores[7]. Both bile acids and the combination of ethanol and fatty acids (generating fatty acid ethyl esters) have the capac­ity to elicit excessive release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores[7]. The cytosolic Ca2+ overload leads to mito­chondrial Ca2+ overload, which causes opening of the so- called mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) and this depolarizes the inner mitochondrial membrane resulting in loss of ATP production[7,46,52]. The dangerous effects of bile acids or fatty acid ethyl esters can be markedly inhibited by reducing the intra­cellular Ca
2+
release via caffeine inhibition of IP3 recep­tors[35,54], by reducing Ca2+ inflow via CRAC channels using specific CRAC channel inhibitors[7,41–43] or by inhibiting the MPTP [55]. The pancreatic acinar cell lives dangerously. It very effectively employs Ca2+ sign­aling as a finely coordinated mechanism for regulation of both fluid and enzyme secretion, but excessive intra­cellular Ca2+ release or Ca2+ entry has the capacity to cause necrosis.
The Ca2+- mediated toxic actions on the acinar cells, initiated by bile acids or the combination of ethanol and fatty acids, are markedly amplified by interactions with the neighboring stellate cells as well as with the

macrophages that invade the pancreatic tissue in the early stages of acute pancreatitis (Fig.4.8). Loss of kal­likrein from the acinar cells that are most sensitive to the toxic actions will lead to generation of bradykinin (BK), which then acts on type 2 BK receptors on stellate cells, releasing Ca2+ from internal stores that in turn opens CRAC channels. The generation of Ca2+ signals in the stellate cells activates nitric oxide formation[6], which, via an unknown mechanism, promotes necrosis of the acinar cells, starting a vicious circle (Fig. 4.8). ATP and ADP released from dying acinar cells act on purinergic receptors on macrophages generating Ca2+
signals in these cells due to activation of CRAC chan­nels[44]. This stimulates secretion of many cytokines, including interleukins and TNF- α, which in turn causes further necrosis of the acinar cells (Fig.4.8). It is there­fore these necrotic amplification loops, dependent on Ca2+ influx through CRAC channels that drive the development of acute pancreatitis (Fig.4.8). The thera­peutic and preventive effects of small molecule CRAC channel inhibitors[41–43] are therefore not only due to reduction of Ca2+ influx into acinar cells, but also due to inhibition of CRAC channel opening in the neigh­boring stellate cells and macrophages[4,7,44,45].
