In the present study, we describe a role for cyclic GMP (cGMP) in the signalling pathway that leads from alpha-adrenergic receptor activation to intracellular Ca2+ mobilization in rat lacrimal acinar cells. The alpha-adrenergic agonist, phenylephrine, stimulates intracellular Ca2+ release which is blocked by inhibitors of guanylate cyclase and cGMP-dependent protein kinase Ia. The membrane-permeable cGMP analogues, dibutyryl-cGMP and 8-bromo-cGMP, potentiate ( approximately 5-fold) the Ca2+ response to submaximal phenylephrine stimulation. In contrast, the same cGMP analogues have no effect on cyclic ADP-ribose-evoked Ca2+ release from permeabilized lacrimal acinar cells. Collectively, these findings suggest that cGMP, via cGMP-dependent protein kinase I alpha , is required for intracellular Ca2+ release following alpha-adrenergic receptor activation in lacrimal acinar cells.
