Treatment | Apical Vacuole Diameter (μm)a |
---|---|
Cimetidine | 3.9 ± 0.7 |
Histamine + IBMX | 15.9 ± 1.5 |
Control peptide + histamine + IBMX | 15.7 ± 1.7 |
IQGAP peptide + histamine + IBMX | 7.9 ± 1.1* |
p < 0.01 compared with those of stimulated cells that were pretreated with the control peptide.
Diameter of apical vacuoles was measured as an index for apical membrane extension associated with acid secretion. Data were obtained from >100 cells in which apical vacuoles were in the same focal plane (see MATERIALS AND METHODS).
