Rat anterior pituitary cells, loaded with the calcium indicator dye fura-2 after primary culture, were challenged with prolactin and growth hormone secretagogues and inhibitory hormones. To initially validate the technique, the calcium channel activator maitotoxin effectively increased intracellular free calcium ([Ca++]. Various concentrations of the secretagogues thyrotropin releasing hormone or angiotensin II induced peak increases in [Ca++]i within 15 sec, followed by a lower and prolonged plateau phase. The inhibitory hormones dopamine and somatostatin maximally reduced [Ca++]i by 15–20 sec, followed by a spontaneous return to baseline over 5–10 min. The receptor antagonists saralacin and spiperone blocked the angiotensin II and dopamine effects, respectively. Thus, fura-2 appears to be an adequate probe for resolving second-to-second changes in [Ca++]i induced by hormone receptor activation in interior pituitary cells.
