Abstract | Agents that act as anion channel blockers (ACBs) and do not permeate cells appear to inhibit exocytosis in platelets, parathyroid cells, and neutrophils. Based in large part on these observations, anion influx through plasma membrane channels has been considered a factor controlling cellular secretion, but there have been no direct anion influx measurements in cells or granules to support this concept. We have found that ACBs inhibit only thrombin-induced platelet secretion, not secretion induced by ADP, collagen, or A23187. ACBs inhibit thrombin esterolytic activity, binding of thrombin to platelets, and thrombin-stimulated platelet production of malondialdehyde in proportion to the degree of inhibition of thrombin-induced platelet secretion. Thus inhibition of platelet secretion by ACBs is due to inactivation of the stimulatory agonist, thrombin, and not to interference with cellular secretion per se. We have also found that previously reported inhibition of secretion of parathyroid cells and neutrophils by ACBs can be explained by the ability of ACBs to interfere with detection of the cellular secretory products that were measured to assess exocytosis. Our measurements of parathyroid hormone and beta-glucuronidase in the presence of ACBs were reduced to the same degree as the reported reduction in apparent cellular secretion produced by these agents. We conclude that plasma membrane anion channels of the type that can be blocked by ACBs such as 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid, 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid, suramin, and probenecid do not participate in cellular secretory processes. Whether other types of anion channels exist that are not affected by these ACBs and whether there are mechanisms of anion flux during secretion not dependent on channels remain open questions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
