Chromaffin cells purified from bovine adrenal medulla and maintained in primary culture were used to study the effects of hyperosmolarity on the nicotine- and high potassium-induced secretory response. A similar study was also performed on cells permeabilized with digitonin and with alpha-toxin from Staphylococcus aureus. Hyperosmolarity does not affect the spontaneous release of catecholamines from either intact cells or permeabilized cells. The nicotine-induced secretion and high potassium-induced secretion from intact cells are inhibited by hypertonic solutions; a 100% inhibition of net release was observed at 660 mOsm (sucrose as osmotic agent). Veratridine- and the cation ionophore X537-A-induced release were both depressed under hyperosmotic conditions. Hyperosmolarity was shown to have reversible effects on the secretory response of intact cells. Finally, hyperosmolarity has intracellular effects on catecholamine release evoked by calcium from both detergent- and alpha-toxin-permeabilized cells. Our data show that hyperosmolarity has multiple effects on the cell membrane and the protein constituents associated with it, but has also a significant effect on intracellular reactions concerned with exocytosis.
