Rab3D is a low molecular weight GTP-binding protein that associates with secretory granules in exocrine cells. AR42J cells are derived from rat pancreatic exocrine tumor cells and develop an acinar cell-like phenotype when treated with dexamethasone (Dex). In the present study, we examined the role of Rab3D in Dex-treated AR42J cells. Rab3D expression and localization were analyzed by subcellular fractionation and immunoblotting. The role of Rab3D was examined by overexpressing myc-labeled wild-type-Rab3D and a constitutively active form of Rab3D (Rab3D-Q81L) in AR42J cells. We found that Rab3D is predominantly membrane-associated in AR42J cells and co-localizes with zymogen granules (ZG). Following CCK-8-induced exocytosis, amylase-positive ZGs appeared to move towards the periphery of the cell and co-localization between Rab3D and amylase was less complete when compared to basal conditions. Overexpression of WT, but not mutant Rab3D, resulted in an increase in cellular amylase levels. Overexpression of mutant and WT Rab3D did not affect granule morphology, CCK-8-induced secretion, long-term (48 hr) basal amylase release or granule density. We conclude that Rab3D is not involved in agonist-induced exocytosis in AR42J cells. Instead, Rab3D may regulate amylase content in these cells.

Leptin is the modulator of HSP60 gene expression in AR42J cells

80%
Leptin, circulating protein involved in the control of body weight and energy expenditure received attention as a modulator of immune response of the organism. Leptin receptors have been detected in the pancreas and experimental studies have shown that leptin protects the pancreas against the damage induced by caerulein overstimulation. Heat shock proteins (HSP) are endogenous proteins produced by various cells exposed to high temperature or to the noxious agents. HSP protect the cells against various environmental and endogenous stressors. The implication of HSP60 in the leptin-induced pancreatic protection has not been examined yet. The aim of this study was: to investigate the changes of HSP60 mRNA signal in the pancreatic AR42J cells subjected to caerulein and leptin. AR42J cells were incubated in standart medium at 37°C for: 0, 1, 3, 5, 12 or 24 h, under basal conditions. Incubation time of 3 h was selected for the next experiments. AR42J cells were incubated in presence of caerulein (10-11, 10-9 or 10-7M), leptin (10-8 or 10-6M), or combination of above. Gene expression for HSP60 was determined by RT-PCR. The mRNA signal for HSP60 has been observed in AR42J pancreatic cells under basal conditions. Incubation of AR42J cells in presence of leptin (10-8 or 10-6M) resulted in the significant increase of gene expression for HSP60 in both groups of AR42J cells. Caerulein stimulation reduced mRNA signal for HSP60. The strongest mRNA signal for HSP60 has been observed after the exposition of AR42J cells to combination of leptin and caerulein. We conclude that: 1. Gene expression for HSP60 has been detected in pancreatic AR42J cells under basal conditions. 2. HSP60 gene expression was significantly increased in pancreatic AR42J cells stimulated by leptin whereas caerulein reduced this signal. 3. The strongest gene expression for HSP60 has been detected in the cells incubated with combination of caerulein and leptin.
