The effects of arachidonic acid (AA) and arachidonic acid metabolites on vasopressin secretion and on intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) from both intact and streptolysin-O permeabilized isolated nerve endings of the rat neurohypophysis were studied. Arachidonic acid induced a dose-dependent increase in resting vasopressin (AVP) secretion in both intact and streptolysin-O permeabilized nerve endings. Although AA also dose-dependently induced an increase in [Ca2+]iin intact nerve endings, the AA-induced secretory response was largely independent of an increase in [Ca2+]i. Secretory responses in intact nerve endings showed AA-induced secretion to be sustained and that AA-induced vasopressin secretion occurs via exocytosis. Arachidonic acid also dose-dependently potentiated K+-depolarization evoked vasopressin release. The potentiation of secretion occurred despite an AA-induced reduction in K+-evoked Ca2+influx. In addition, AA reinitiated secretion following a decline in the Ca2+-dependent exocytotic secretory response suggesting a separate secretory mechanism from Ca2+-induced secretion. Inhibition of the metabolic pathways for AA suggested that AA itself mediates the secretory effects and that AA is likely subject to rapid metabolism by lipoxygenases.
