We report here that brief depolarizations such as action
potentials trigger exocytosis in thin mouse adrenal slices. The
secretory rates obtained in membrane capacitance recordings from
chromaffin cells in slices are faster than those observed in isolated
cells. Fast exocytosis in slices is attributable to the rapid release of a small pool of vesicles. The pool recovers from depletion with a
time constant of 10 sec. Recruitment of the rapidly released vesicles
is strongly hindered by the fast Ca2+ chelator BAPTA and
much less by the slower chelator EGTA. We suggest that these vesicles
are located in close proximity to Ca2+ channels. Spatial
coupling of Ca2+ entry and exocytosis may be sensitive to
cell isolation and culture.
Key words:
exocytosis;
membrane capacitance measurement;
