The existence of ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+ stores and their role in the Ca2+ entry mechanism were examined in the rat submandibular gland acinar cells, using the microfluorimetry of intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). In the presence of thapsigargin, a Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitor of inositol (1, 4, 5) triphosphate (InsP3)-sensitive Ca2+ stores, caffeine caused an increase in [Ca2+]i, which was inhibited by treatment with ryanodine (a ligand to the Ca(2+)-induced Ca2+ release channels). In the cells treated with ryanodine, 1 mM Ca2+ addition to a Ca(2+)-free solution caused a marked increase in [Ca2+]i, which was eliminated by application of Ni2+ or SK &amp; F 96365, suggesting a Ca2+ entry triggered by ryanodine. The maximal change in the net increase in [Ca2+]i caused by the ryanodine-coupled Ca2+ entry, was 104.0 +/- 16.0 nM, which intense was caused by 10 microM ryanodine. Emptying the InsP3-sensitive stores by treatment with thapsigargin also caused Ca2+ entry, which maximally changed [Ca2+]i by 349.6 +/- 15.1 nM. Ten mumol/liter ryanodine was confirmed to cause a release of 45Ca2+ from the parotidic microsomal fraction enriched in endopalsmic reticulum. We propose that ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+ stores are present in rat submandibular gland acinar cells. We further propose that release of Ca2+ from the ryanodine-sensitive stores, which means eventually depletion of the ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+ stores, can activate the Ca2+ entry. The ability for Ca2+ entry coupled with the ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+ stores seems to be about 30% of the ability for Ca2+ entry coupled with the thapsigargin-sensitive Ca2+ stores.
