AB Ca2+ signalling and exocytosis mediated by nicotinic receptor (nAChR) subtypes, especially the a7 nAChR, in bovinechromaffin cells are still matters of debate.We have used chromaffin cell cultures loaded with Fluo-4 or transfected with aequorins directed to the cytosol ormitochondria, several nAChR agonists (nicotine, 5-iodo-A-85380, PNU282987 and choline), and the a7 nAChR allostericmodulator PNU120596. Minimal [Ca2+]c transients, induced by low concentrations of selective a7 nAChR agonists and nicotine, were markedlyincreased by the a7 nAChR allosteric modulator PNU120596. These potentiated responses were completely blocked by thea7 nAChR antagonist a-bungarotoxin (a7-modulated-response). Conversely, high concentrations of the a7 nAChR agonists,nicotine or 5-iodo-A-85380 induced larger [Ca2+]c transients, that were blocked by mecamylamine but were unaffected bya-bungarotoxin (non-a7 response). [Ca2+]c increases mediated by a7 nAChR were related to Ca2+ entry through non-L-typeCa2+ channels, whereas non-a7 nAChR-mediated signals were related to L-type Ca2+ channels; Ca2+-induced Ca2+-releasecontributed to both responses. Mitochondrial involvement in the control of [Ca2+]c transients, mediated by either receptor,was minimal. Catecholamine release coupled to a7 nAChRs was more efficient in terms of catecholamine released/[Ca2+]c.
