Activation of Gq protein-coupled receptors usually causes a biphasic increase in intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) that is crucial for secretion in nonexcitable cells. In gastric enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells, stimulation with gastrin leads to a prompt biphasic calcium response followed by histamine secretion. This study investigates the underlying signaling events in this neuroendocrine cell type. In ECL cells, RT-PCR suggested the presence of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R) subtypes 1-3. The IP3R antagonist 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate abolished both gastrin-induced elevation of [Ca2+]i and histamine release. Thapsigargin increased [Ca2+]i, however, without inducing histamine secretion. In thapsigargin-pretreated cells, gastrin increased [Ca2+]i through calcium influx across the plasma membrane. Both nimodipine and SKF-96365 inhibited gastrin-induced histamine release. The protein kinase C (PKC) activator phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate induced histamine secretion, an effect that was prevented by nimodipine. In summary, gastrin-stimulated histamine release depends on IP3R activation and plasmalemmal calcium entry. Gastrin-induced calcium influx was mediated by dihydropyridine-sensitive calcium channels that appear to be L-type channels activated through a pathway involving activation of PKC.

ELEVATION OF INTRACELLULAR calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) has an important function in the regulation of many cellular processes. This increase in [Ca2+]i can be achieved by release from internal stores, calcium entry across the plasma membrane, or both (5-7). The calcium response to a calcium-mobilizing agonist, e.g., a hormone, usually consists of two phases, an initial peak caused by calcium release from stores and a plateau phase caused by calcium influx.
In excitable cells, calcium entry is mediated by voltage-operated calcium channels (VOCCs) after membrane depolarization and triggers, e.g., neurotransmitter release (25). In contrast, nonexcitable cells do not require a transient membrane depolarization for calcium influx. Hormones activate a phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C to produce inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG) (5, 6, 26). IP3 releases calcium from internal stores, inducing calcium influx across the plasma membrane via store-operated calcium channels (40), also termed capacitative calcium entry (32). DAG activates protein kinase C (PKC), which is known to regulate several transduction pathways, including gene transcription, proliferation, and hormone secretion (6).
Gastric enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells are histamine-producing neuroendocrine cells in the gastric epithelium that play an important role in the peripheral regulation of acid secretion (39, 45). The antral hormone gastrin directly stimulates histamine release from ECL cells (36, 38, 44). Incubation of permeabilized ECL cells with micromolar free calcium induces histamine secretion (12). Moreover, gastrin has been shown to induce production of inositol phosphates in ECL cells of Mastomys natalensis (15). These findings suggest that IP3 and elevation of [Ca2+]i play a key role in histamine secretion in this neuroendocrine cell type. Currently, the exact mechanisms triggering calcium influx in gastric endocrine cells are unclear. Because isolated ECL cells are highly enriched, viable, and nontransformed endocrine cells, they are especially well suited for investigating signal transduction pathways.
VOCCs present a potential candidate for mediating the calcium influx in ECL cells because L- and N-type channels have been detected in gastric ECL cells by patch-clamp experiments (8) and RT-PCR (57). VOCCs have also been detected in adrenal chromaffin and intestinal enterochromaffin cells (10, 20, 43), where they mediate exocytosis. Obviously, these channels are a common feature of chromaffin cells, but the importance and activation of these channels might be different in each cell type because of differences in excitability.
In the present study, we investigated the signaling events involved in histamine secretion from gastric ECL cells after gastrin receptor activation. We found that gastrin-induced secretion was dependent on IP3 receptor (IP3R) activation and plasmalemmal calcium entry. Mobilization of intracellular calcium stores alone was not sufficient to stimulate histamine release. Gastrin- and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-induced histamine secretion were inhibited by dihydropyridines. Thus we conclude that calcium influx after gastrin stimulation is mediated by L-type VOCCs that appear to be activated through PKC.

Reagents and antibodies. All reagents were of analytical grade and were purchased from the indicated suppliers: Pronase (Roche Molecular Biochemicals, Mannheim, Germany); bovine serum albumin and HEPES (Serva, Heidelberg, Germany); Nycodenz (Accurate Chemicals, New York, NY); Cell-Tak and Matrigel (Becton-Dickinson, Heidelberg, Germany); fetal bovine serum (GIBCO, Eggenstein, Germany); fura 2-AM (Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR); 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate (2-APB; Tocris, Bristol, UK); SKF-96365 (Calbiochem, La Jolla, CA); thapsigargin (Calbiochem; RBI, Natick, MA); nimodipine and nifedipine (RBI); DMEM, PMA, and rat gastrin-17 (Sigma, Deisenhofen, Germany). For immunocytochemistry, a monoclonal antibody for IP3R3 (Transduction Laboratories, Lexington, KY) was used. Secondary antibodies conjugated to Alexa Fluor 488 were purchased from Molecular Probes.
Cell isolation and primary culture. For each experiment, five female Sprague-Dawley rats (body wt 180-200 g; Charles River, Sulzfeld, Germany) were anesthetized by carbon dioxide and killed by cervical dislocation in accordance with the ethics guidelines of the Technische Universität München. The experiments comply with all relevant local and institutional regulations. Mucosal cells from the stomachs were isolated by pronase digestion (1.3 mg/ml) with an everted sac technique (36). The resulting crude cell preparation was fractionated by counterflow elutriation and subsequent density gradient centrifugation as described previously (12, 22, 36, 38). Cell viability (trypan blue exclusion) exceeded 95%. This enriched ECL cell fraction was then placed on six-well tissue culture plates precoated with Matrigel. Cells were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM)-F12 medium supplemented with 2 mg/ml bovine serum albumin, 5% fetal bovine serum, 5 mg/l gentamicin, 5 mg/l insulin, 5 mg/l transferrin, 5 µg/l sodium selenite, 1 nM hydrocortisone, and 1 pM gastrin. After 48 h of culture, 90-95% of total adherent cells were identified as ECL cells by acridine orange uptake and antibody staining for histidine decarboxylase (12, 37).
Histamine release experiments. After 48-h short-term culture, ECL cells (2.5-5 × 104/well) were incubated in DMEM-F12 medium without supplements for 180 min to remove the influence of growth factors potentially present in the supplemented growth medium. Subsequently, growth medium was removed and replaced by 1 ml of elutriation buffer (Krebs-Ringer solution containing 0.1 mg/ml bovine serum albumin) for the indicated time periods under basal conditions or in the presence of inhibitor after a 60-min stimulation. In some experiments, CaCl2 in the elutriation buffer was replaced with 0.5 mM EGTA to obtain nominally calcium-free medium. When solvents other than water were used, negative controls with solvent alone were conducted to exclude nonspecific solvent effects on histamine secretion. Histamine concentration in the incubation medium was measured by a commercially available radioimmunoassay kit (Beckman Coulter, Krefeld, Germany). Data are expressed as picomoles of histamine produced from single six-well plates (corresponding to 2.5-5 × 104 cells/well) under basal conditions or in the presence of stimulants and/or inhibitors during 60 min of incubation.
Measurement of [Ca2+]i in single ECL cells. Isolated ECL cells were placed on sterile glass coverslips coated with Cell-Tak diluted 1:1 with 0.5 M NaHCO3 and cultured as described in Cell isolation and primary culture. After 48 h, the cells were incubated with fura 2-AM at a final concentration of 1 µg/ml for 15 min at 37°C and subsequently transferred into a heated microchamber perfused with elutriation buffer (containing 1 mM CaCl2 or 0.5 mM EGTA). Cells were observed with a Zeiss Fluar ×40 objective mounted on a Zeiss Axiovert 135 TV inverted microscope in the epifluorescence mode using a dichroic filter of 395 nm. Alternating wavelength excitation of 340 and 380 nm was provided by a motorized filter wheel. Light emissions were monitored by a video camera connected to the Attofluor digital recording system (Zeiss, Jena, Germany). The curves shown present the average of 9-15 cells investigated simultaneously.
RNA isolation, reverse transcription, and RT-PCR.
Total RNA was isolated from enriched ECL cells with peqGOLDTriFast
reagent (Peqlab Biotechnologie, Erlangen, Germany) according to the
manufacturer's instructions. Complementary DNA was generated from
total RNA with Taq Man reverse transcription reagents from Perkin-Elmer (Weiterstadt, Germany). The coding sequences for IP3R published in GenBank were used to generate specific
oligonucleotide primers (Table 1). PCR
was performed using the Taq PCR Master Mix Kit from Qiagen
(Hilden, Germany) and the following temperature cycle profile: 2 min at
94°C followed by 30 cycles of 45 s at 94°C, 55 s at
annealing temperature, and 1 min at 72°C. The profile was ended with
a final extension of 10 min at 72°C. Annealing temperatures were
58°C for IP3R1 and IP3R2 and 56°C for
IP3R3. PCR products were subjected to horizontal agarose
gel electrophoresis, and bands were visualized in a digital
documentation system (MWG Biotech, Ebersberg, Germany). Subsequently,
the amplification products were eluted from the gel, cloned into TOPO
pCR 2.1 vector (Invitrogen, Groningen, The Netherlands), and sequenced
for verification.

Immunocytochemistry. Isolated ECL cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde at room temperature for 10 min and spun on glass coverslips using a Cytospin 3 cell preparation system (Shandon, Frankfurt, Germany). After blocking and permeabilization, the cells were incubated with a monoclonal antibody for IP3R3 (1:100) overnight at 4°C. After washing, cells were incubated with anti-mouse secondary antibody conjugated to Alexa Fluor 488 for 1 h at room temperature and processed for immunofluorescence microscopy. In negative controls, cells were incubated with blocking buffer (10 mM PBS containing 10% normal goat serum) instead of the primary antibody.
Statistical analysis. Results are expressed as means ± SE. Data were analyzed by paired Student's t-test. Values of P < 0.05 were considered to be significant.

Importance of IP3 and IP3Rs.
To investigate the role of IP3 in gastrin-induced histamine
release, ECL cells were stimulated after 10-min preincubation with the
IP3 receptor antagonist 2-APB. This membrane-permeant drug
has been shown to have no effect on IP3 production through phospholipase C and does not modify the function of VOCCs and ryanodine
receptors (23). 2-APB (100 µM) completely inhibited gastrin-induced histamine secretion (Fig.
1A). Moreover, 2-APB abolished
the biphasic calcium signal in response to gastrin without affecting
basal [Ca2+]i (Fig. 1B).
|
Importance of calcium release from internal stores.
Thapsigargin, a commonly used inhibitor of
sarco(endo)- plasmic reticulum calcium ATPase, was used to
investigate the influence of calcium release from intracellular stores
on histamine release. Incubation of ECL cells with thapsigargin
(106-10
10 M) in the presence of
extracellular calcium for 1 h did not cause histamine secretion
(Fig. 2A).
To further characterize the effect of thapsigargin,
[Ca2+]i was determined in single ECL cells
loaded with fura 2. To exclude nonspecific effects, thapsigargin was
used at a concentration of
0.5 µM (11). In nominally
calcium-free medium, thapsigargin induced a transient increase in
[Ca2+]i followed by a quick recovery to basal
level (Fig. 2B). Addition of 1 nM gastrin did not induce any
further response in calcium-free medium. As shown in Fig.
2C, readdition of calcium (1 mM) after store mobilization
with thapsigargin (0.5 µM) resulted in an increase in
[Ca2+]i caused by increased calcium influx
through store-operated calcium channels and inhibition of calcium
uptake through sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum calcium ATPase
(3). We also investigated the effect of thapsigargin in
the presence of extracellular calcium (Fig. 2D). Under these
conditions, thapsigargin increased [Ca2+]i
more effectively than in calcium-free medium. Furthermore, a sustained
increase of [Ca2+]i above the basal level
could be observed. Subsequent addition of gastrin resulted in a
biphasic calcium response. Compared with the response seen with gastrin
alone, the initial peak was decreased, whereas the plateau phase
remained at a comparable level (see Figs. 1B, 2D,
and 3B). Thapsigargin added to enriched ECL cells 60 min
before stimulation with gastrin (1 nM) in calcium-containing medium did
not affect gastrin-induced histamine secretion (n = 3;
data not shown).

Importance of plasmalemmal calcium entry. The effect of gastrin on histamine secretion in nominally calcium-free medium was investigated to define the role of calcium influx through calcium channels in the plasma membrane. As depicted in Fig. 3A, gastrin failed to release detectable amounts of histamine in calcium-free medium, indicating the importance of calcium influx from the extracellular space for secretion. Gastrin effects on [Ca2+]i were also investigated in fura 2-loaded cells. In the absence of extracellular calcium, gastrin induced a small peak but no plateau phase (Fig. 3B), as previously reported (58). This finding is consistent with a previous observation in which the plateau phase was abolished by addition of lanthanum (10 µM), a nonspecific entry channel blocker (35). After removal of gastrin and addition of extracellular calcium, a slight increase in basal [Ca2+]i was observed. Subsequent exposure to gastrin induced a strong biphasic calcium signal that declined to basal level after gastrin washout.
Effects of calcium channel inhibitors on histamine secretion.
Several calcium channel blockers were then used to identify the
channels involved in plasmalemmal calcium entry. Gastrin
stimulated histamine release three- to fivefold after 60 min of
incubation. This effect was inhibited by ~70% by the selective
L-type calcium channel antagonist nimodipine after 20 min of
preincubation (106 M; Fig.
4A). Similar effects were
observed with nifedipine (10
6 M; data not shown). The
N-type calcium channel blocker
-conotoxin GVIA (10
6 M)
inhibited gastrin-induced histamine secretion only to a small extent
after 60-min preincubation. (Fig. 4B). SKF-96365
(10
5 M), an inhibitor of both voltage- and
receptor-operated calcium channels, inhibited gastrin-induced histamine
release almost completely after 20-min preincubation (Fig.
4C). As shown in Fig. 4D, PMA (10
6
M, 60 min) induced histamine secretion three- to fivefold, and this
effect was inhibited by 60-70% by nimodipine (10
6
M).

Effects of calcium channel inhibitors on
[Ca2+]i in fura 2-loaded
ECL cells.
ECL cells were stimulated with gastrin (1 nM) in the presence of
calcium channel blockers, and [Ca2+]i was
determined. Both nimodipine (106 M) and SKF-96365
(10
5 M) abolished the plateau phase of the
gastrin-induced calcium signal (Fig. 5),
whereas the initial peak remained almost unchanged.

Gastrin, the key stimulus of histamine secretion, binds to
Gq-coupled gastrin/cholecystokinin B receptors (16,
17, 30, 34, 54, 55), resulting in a subsequent increase in
[Ca2+]i and exocytosis (13, 15, 29, 38,
50, 55). Gq activates the generation of
IP3 and DAG via phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase
C in a pertussis toxin-insensitive manner (28). Generation
of DAG activates PKC in several cell types. Here, we investigated the
role of IP3, PKC, and calcium signaling in gastric ECL
cells to elucidate the signaling events underlying gastrin-induced histamine release. Figure 6 depicts a
possible mechanism based on our results.

We found that gastrin-induced histamine release was completely inhibited by the IP3R antagonist 2-APB. Moreover, RT-PCR and immunocytochemistry confirmed the presence of these receptors in ECL cells. Our data are in agreement with previous studies with isolated ECL cells from Mastomys natalensis (15, 42). These studies determined the production of inositol phosphates in ECL cells in response to gastrin. Our current observations further extend the importance of IP3 and IP3R for signal transduction after gastrin receptor activation. Three different receptor subtypes for IP3 have been identified in rat tissues (reviewed in Refs. 27 and 33). In the digestive tract, IP3R3 appears to be the predominant form (31). In gastric ECL cells, we found RNAs encoding all three IP3R subtypes. Because we found specific staining with the IP3R3 antibody, we conclude that at least this receptor subtype is of functional importance. The role of the other two subtypes remains to be determined. 2-APB also prevented intracellular calcium signaling in response to gastrin. Together, these results show that stimulation of IP3Rs activates a calcium signaling process in ECL cells.
IP3 usually binds to its receptors on the endoplasmic reticulum, thereby mobilizing calcium that induces store-operated calcium influx. To investigate the contribution of these stores to gastrin-induced histamine release and calcium influx, we also mobilized internal calcium stores with thapsigargin. Thapsigargin addition led to an increase of [Ca2+]i, reflecting mobilization of calcium from the endoplasmic reticulum. However, this increase of [Ca2+]i did not induce histamine secretion. This indicates that calcium release from internal stores and store-operated calcium entry per se is not sufficient for exocytosis. Moreover, gastrin increased [Ca2+]i through calcium influx across the plasma membrane and histamine secretion despite thapsigargin pretreatment. Therefore, another signal transduction pathway appears to be necessary for the activation of plasmalemmal calcium entry besides the release from internal stores.
It must be mentioned that intracellular calcium stores may be slowly depleted by the use of EGTA, causing a reduction in [Ca2+]i and thereby preventing a subsequent effect of thapsigargin in calcium-free media. This effect may not be ruled out. However, thapsigargin induced an increase in [Ca2+]i (Fig. 2D) but did not induce histamine release in calcium-containing medium (Fig. 2A), indicating that gastrin-induced histamine secretion is independent of store-operated calcium entry but dependent on the activation of other calcium channels.
If IP3R activation, but not store-operated calcium entry, is a requisite for stimulation of histamine secretion in this cell type, it may be speculated that different types or localizations of IP3R exist that lead to the activation of several calcium signaling processes. Our current data therefore might suggest an effect of IP3 not only on the endoplasmic reticulum but also on the plasma membrane, indicating IP3-IP3R-plasma membrane interaction to allow calcium entry. A location of IP3R at the plasma membrane was shown in lymphocytes (5, 18), endothelial cells (52), and several other cell types (9, 14, 24). It has also been assumed that a direct interaction of intracellular IP3Rs with plasmalemmal calcium channels leads to calcium entry across the plasma membrane (for review, see Ref. 41).
Another possibility, supported by our current data, is that besides the activation of IP3Rs and subsequent release from internal stores, DAG-induced activation of PKC is simultaneously required to activate plasmalemmal calcium entry. Indeed, PMA, a direct activator of PKC, induced histamine release, an effect that was inhibited by nimodipine. This indicates that PKC is involved in histamine release via activation of L-type calcium channels. Similar to these observations, a PMA-induced and dihydropyridine-sensitive calcium current was observed in lymphocytes (46) and in oxygen-sensing glomus cells of the carotid body (49). In hippocampal synaptosomes, PMA-induced VOCC activity was inhibited by PKC inhibitors such as calphostin C or dihydrosphingosine (4). In contrast, treatment of chromaffin cells with PMA led to an inhibition of calcium currents through L-type channels (47); however, non-P/Q-type channels might also be negatively regulated by PKC and may interfere with this response. A differential expression of VOCCs in the respective cell type may regulate the PKC-linked activation of these channels. Nevertheless, PKC obviously is crucial for activation of L-type channels, increasing the intracellular calcium level. The generation of DAG appears to be necessary for activation of PKC in ECL cells.
Gastrin did not induce histamine secretion in calcium-free medium,
indicating that calcium influx during the plateau phase is essential
for exocytosis. Because ECL cells express L- and N-type VOCCs, which
are important for secretion in neuronal (2) and chromaffin
(10, 20) cells and pancreatic -cells (19), we studied the effect of selective antagonists of these channels. Both
nimodipine and nifedipine inhibited gastrin-induced histamine secretion
by ~70% and abolished the plateau phase of the gastrin-induced calcium transient in fura 2-loaded ECL cells. This finding contradicts a previous report, which demonstrated only a small inhibition of
histamine secretion by nifedipine (57). The reason for
this discrepancy remains obscure because, in our hands, both drugs had
a specific effect on secretion and calcium signaling. L-type channel
antagonists such as nimodipine are specific inhibitors interacting with
the
-subunit of L-type VOCCs at a defined consensus sequence. The
concentrations used correspond to the IC50 values observed
in other cell types for the inhibition of calcium currents (48,
51, 53).
Previous studies revealed that ECL cells are electrically nonexcitable (21). Nevertheless, our studies provide evidence that L-type channels are functionally important. One explanation for this discrepancy is that L-type channel blockers may affect other calcium channels in a nonspecific manner and the action may be too broad. Nevertheless, the binding of the L-type channel blocker at 0.1-1 µM occurs at a defined consensus sequence that is not found on other channels; the action at this concentration is generally believed to be very specific (48, 51, 53). At higher concentrations (100 µM) L-type channel blockers have been shown to block nicotinic acid-adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP)- induced calcium release (56), but this concentration may reflect nonspecific binding.
It may also be possible that L-type channels become activated in ECL cells at resting potentials without membrane depolarization. A recent study investigated the effects of nimodipine and PKC activators on the changes of quantal acetylcholine release at the frog neuromuscular junction (1). The authors detected that PMA increased the frequency and quantal content of miniature end plate potentials and currents. This effect was completely inhibited by the addition of nimodipine (1 µM). These results suggest that activation of PKC increases quantal acetylcholine release by opening quiescent L-type channels in motor nerve terminals at resting potential and apparently not by depolarization. A similar mechanism may also be present in the neuroendocrine ECL cells.
We conclude that, in ECL cells, gastrin-induced histamine secretion involves activation of IP3Rs and PKC, resulting in calcium entry through dihydropyridine-sensitive channels, presumably L-type channels (see Fig. 6). Our data may provide a unique perspective for the understanding of calcium channel gating mediated by G protein-coupled receptors in nonexcitable cells.
