The effects of the phosphatase inhibitors calyculin A and okadaic acid on amylase release from streptolysin-O permeabilized rat pancreatic acini were investigated. Both agents induced similar biphasic effects with moderate potentiation of calcium-stimulated amylase release at medium and strong inhibition at higher concentrations. Calyculin A was thirty times more potent than okadaic acid and at 100 nM totally inhibited calcium-induced amylase release while 3 microM okadaic acid reduced amylase release by 78%. 100nM calyculin A also completely inhibited GTP gamma S-potentiated amylase release and partially inhibited phorbol ester potentiated secretion. The data indicate that inhibition of a serine/threonine phosphatase, probably a type 1 phosphatase, leads to inhibition of calcium-induced amylase release in permeabilized pancreatic acini.
