Summary
During acid secretion, gastric parietal cells undergo profound morphological changes including formation of the apical secretory membrane. To examine the mechanism of histamine-induced increases in the apical membrane area at the single cell level, we monitored the membrane capacitance by applying a time-resolved phase-sensitive detection method to singly isolated parietal cells of guinea pig. A real-time increase in the membrane capacitance was detected within several min after stimulation with histamine. An H2-blocker (cimetidine), but not an H1-blocker (pyrilamine), inhibited the histamine response. Dibutyryl cyclic AMP mimicked the histamine effect. The capacitance response to histamine was sensitive to cytosolic Ca2+, temperature and N-ethylmaleimide. The histamine response was inhibited by intracellular application of a non-hydrolyzable ATP analog (AMP-PNP) and an isoquinolinesulfonamide derivative that works as an inhibitor of protein kinase A (H-8). These results indicate that in parietal cells, elevation of intracellular cyclic AMP induces exocytotic insertion of intracellular membranes into the plasma membrane, presumably by activating protein kinase A.
