Our objective was to evaluate the role of vanadate on calcium extrusion in Fura-2-loaded rat pancreatic acinar cells by digital microscopic fluorimetry and spectrofluorimetry. In the absence of extracellular calcium, perfusion of pancreatic acinar cells with 1 nM CCK-8 and 1 mM vanadate did not significantly affect the typical transient calcium spike induced by CCK-8, but the plateau phase of calcium in response to CCK-8 remained elevated. In addition, vanadate was able to inhibit calcium efflux evoked by CCK-8 when we determined directly calcium transport across plasma membrane using Calcium Green-5N hexapotassium salt (cell impermeant form) in cell populations. The effect of vanadate on calcium extrusion was strongly blocked by the sulfhydryl-reducing agent dithiothreitol (DTT). The present results demonstrate that vanadate is able to irreversibly inhibit the calcium extrusion. This effect of vanadate can be blocked using DTT, indicating that its action is probably mediated by oxidation of sulfhydryl groups of Ca2+-ATPases.
