Acetylcholine has been known to potentiate secretin-stimulated bicarbonate secretion by the pancreatic duct system. Recent studies have shown that this phenomenon is at least partially attributable to the agonist-induced elevation ofintracellular Ca” concentration ([Ca2+],) in pancreatic duct cells. In order to define spatiotemporal dynamics of these [Ca2+], signals, short segments of intralobular and interlobular ducts were isolated from the rat pancreas and examined by digital image microscopy using a calcium-sensitive, fluorescent probe, Fura-2. In accord with previous reports by microspectrofluorometry, duct segments stimulated with carbachol consistently displayed [Ca2+], rises, which were specifically suppressed by atropine. Present image analyses additionally demonstrated a fine fluctuate unevenness of the [Ca2+], level in the duct epithelium during the stimulation, suggesting an asynchronous oscillatory mode of response of the pancreatic duct cells. The pancreatic duct system Experiments acetylcholine the
