The control of cytoskeletal actin and exocytosis was examined in intact and digitonin-permeabilized chromaffin cells. Cytoskeletal actin was assayed by determining the actin content of Triton-insoluble cytoskeletons. The secretagogues nicotine, high K+ and Ba2+ resulted in a rapid reduction in the amount of actin associated with the cytoskeleton. The effect of nicotine but not high K+ on cytoskeletal actin was independent of external Ca2+ and the reduction in cytoskeletal actin was mimicked by the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate suggesting a role for protein kinase C. In digitonin-permeabilized cells micromolar calcium produced both catecholamine secretion and a reduction in cytoskeletal actin. The reduction in cytoskeletal actin was transient. Secretion was enhanced by the GTP analogue guanosine 5'-(3-O-thio)triphosphate and the analogue also reduced cytoskeletal actin at low calcium levels. The effects of guanosine 5'-(3-O-thio)triphosphate were inhibited by the phospholipase C inhibitor neomycin and were mimicked by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate. An additional GTP analogue, guanyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate, had no effect on cytoskeletal actin. These results provide further evidence for a requirement for reorganisation of cortical actin in the secretory processes and suggest that the reduction in actin associated with the cytoskeleton may be mediated by protein kinase C and/or calcium in intact and permeabilized chromaffin cells.
