A Persistent Activity-Dependent Facilitation in Chromaffin Cells
Is Caused by Ca2+ Activation of Protein Kinase C

Activity-dependent facilitation was studied in bovine adrenal
chromaffin cells. Stimulation with a train of depolarizations caused
subsequent triggered exocytotic activity to be significantly enhanced.
After the facilitating stimulus train, the readily releasable vesicle
pool (RRP) size was estimated from capacitance jumps in response to
paired depolarizations and found to be elevated for a period of at
least 10 min. The time dependency of onset and degree of facilitation
could be well fitted assuming protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent and
independent Ca2+-mediated processes. Both processes
increase the recruitment of vesicles from the reserve pool to the RRP,
resulting in an greater number of releasable vesicles. The data suggest
that cell activity can act as a trigger to increase cytosolic
Ca2+ to a level sufficient to cause an increase in
the number of readily releasable secretory vesicles, with the more
persistent component of the evoked facilitation being mediated through
activity-dependent activation of PKC.
