Phorbol ester stimulates calcitonin secretion synergistically with A23187, and additively with dibutyryl cyclic AMP in a rat C-cell line.

The mechanism of action of 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) on calcitonin secretion was studied in a rat C-cell line, rMTC 6-23. TPA stimulated calcitonin secretion at the concentration of 16nM. This effect was synergistically enhanced with calcium ionophore, A23187. Synthetic diacylglycerol, 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-glycerol (OAG), also showed a synergism with A23187 on calcitonin secretion. When dibutyryl cyclic AMP was added with TPA, an additive effect was obtained. These data suggest that C-kinase might be a possible regulator of calcitonin secretion in addition to the cyclic AMP-mediated pathway.[1]
