Measurements of concentrations of cytosolic free Ca2+([Ca2+]c) in individual cells has frequently demonstrated periodic transients in [Ca2+]crather than sustained elevated levels. To determine in anterior pituitary cells if such short and repetitive [Ca2+]ctransients stimulated prolactin release, we used a perifusion system with cells loaded with the fluorescent Ca2+-indicator, indo-1. A one second pulse of 100 mM KCl caused an increase in [Ca2+]cwith a half peak width of about 18 seconds and an almost coincident increase in prolactin secretion. Subsequent pulses of KCl each caused increases in [Ca2+]cand prolactin release that were the same as the first, up to a pulse frequency of one every two minutes. Increasing the frequency to 1 pulse every minute or 1 pulse every 30 seconds, however, resulted in a serial decline in the amount of prolactin released by each pulse even though each pulse caused a similar peak Ca2+response. These findings demonstrate that cells become adapted to transient increases in [Ca2+]coccur frequently enough. Cells may use frequency-encoded Ca2+signals to stimulate release of prolactin at low frequency to prevent the adaptation that occurs at higher frequencies.
