In isolated guinea pig adrenal chromaffin cells, not only nicotine, but also muscarine stimulated catecholamine (CA) secretion, the stimulation by muscarine being the greater. The secretions of CA by muscarine and nicotine were both dependent on the presence of Ca2+ in the medium, but only the latter was associated with a rapid increase in 45Ca2+ uptake. Experiments with the fluorescent Ca2+ indicator quin 2, showed that muscarine caused an increase in cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration [( Ca2+]i). Moreover, the intracellular Ca2+ antagonist 8-(N,N-diethylamino)octyl-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate (TMB-8) inhibited both CA secretion and increase in [Ca2+]i induced by muscarine. These results indicate that in isolated guinea pig adrenal chromaffin cells, nicotine stimulated CA secretion by increasing Ca2+ uptake by the cells, whereas muscarine stimulated CA secretion by mobilizing Ca2+ from the intracellular pool.
