Stimulation of intact rat pancreatic acini with cholecystokinin (CCK) enhances the phosphorylation of the ribosomal protein S6 in a dose-dependent manner with half maximal stimulation at 40 pM and maximal stimulation at 1 nM CCK octapeptide. Soluble cellular extracts contained S6 kinase activity assayed using purified rat pancreatic ribosomes as substrate. Stimulation by CCK of S6 kinase was concentration dependent, being half maximal at 50 pM and maximal at 1 nM CCK. The phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol 13-acetate (TPA), an activator of protein kinase C, also increased both S6 phosphorylation in intact acini and soluble S6 kinase activity. In order to determine whether S6 kinase mediated S6 phosphorylation following CCK treatment of acini, two-dimensional phosphopeptide analysis was performed for S6 proteins phosphorylated under various conditions. These data suggest that a specific soluble S6 kinase, the activation of which appears to be directly or indirectly mediated by protein kinase C, is the functional enzyme in intact acini that mediates the action of CCK to increase S6 phosphorylation and may be involved in increased protein synthesis in pancreatic acini treated with CCK.

When dispersed chief cells from guinea pig stomach were first incubated with carbachol, washed, and then reincubated with carbachol in fresh incubation solution, the stimulation of pepsinogen secretion and the rise in intracellular calcium concentration during the second incubation were reduced. Carbachol did not cause residual enzyme secretion, but the same range of concentrations that causes enzyme secretion caused desensitization that was rapid, temperature dependent, and reversible with time. Preincubation with carbachol caused approximately a 65% reduction in enzyme secretion stimulated during a subsequent incubation with this agonist, but the potency of carbachol was unaffected. Prior exposure to carbachol also reduced subsequent stimulation caused by cholecystokinin (CCK-8), gastrin I, ionophore A23187, or 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate but did not alter stimulation by any agonist that increases cellular cAMP. Carbachol pretreatment of Fura-loaded chief cells caused a threefold increase in the EC50 for carbachol-stimulated [Ca2+]i and approximately a 30% reduction in the maximal rise in [Ca2+]i in response to carbachol or CCK-8. Inhibition of [N-methyl-3H] scopolamine binding by carbachol following carbachol pretreatment indicated that modulation of receptor affinity or number did not account for functional desensitization. These data indicate that carbachol causes heterologous desensitization of pepsinogen secretion stimulated by agonists that mobilize cellular Ca2+ or activate protein kinase C through a postreceptor action and suggest that an attenuated rise in chief cell calcium is one mechanism mediating the desensitization of enzyme secretion.

To determine the role of 1,2-diacylglycerol (1,2-DAG) and protein kinase C in pancreatic enzyme secretion, we measured the effect of various pancreatic secretagogues on the cellular mass of 1,2-DAG and amylase release in dispersed pancreatic acini from the guinea pig. In addition, we measured the effect of a recently described protein kinase C inhibitor 1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine (H-7) (Hidaka, H., Inagaki, M., Kawamoto, S., and Sasaki, Y. (1984) Biochemistry 23, 5036-5041), on secretagogue-stimulated amylase release from the acini. Cholecystokinin-octapeptide (CCK-OP), cholecystokinintetrapeptide, and carbachol each increased 1,2-DAG 2-3-fold but the increases occurred only with concentrations of these secretagogues that were supramaximal for amylase release and that had an inhibitory effect on stimulated amylase release. Supramaximal concentrations of bombesin stimulated only a small increase in 1,2-DAG and did not cause inhibition of stimulated amylase release. When the action of carbachol was terminated with atropine or CCK-OP with dibutyryl cyclic GMP, stimulated amylase release ceased immediately but cellular 1,2-DAG required at least 15 min to return to the basal level. Increasing cytosolic free Ca2+ with the Ca2+ ionophore, A23187, in Ca2+-containing incubation media augmented amylase release stimulated by 4 beta-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate but inhibited amylase release stimulated by CCK-OP, carbachol, and bombesin without decreasing the cellular content of 1,2-DAG. H-7 inhibited protein kinase C activity in a pancreatic homogenate but augmented amylase release from acini stimulated by either CCK-OP, carbachol, or 4 beta-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. These findings indicate that 1,2-DAG and protein kinase C do not have a stimulatory role in pancreatic stimulus-secretion coupling but may have an inhibitory one.

Small amounts (0.1-0.5 mM) of deoxycholate enhanced amylase secretion, which had been induced by submaximal doses of carbachol or cholecystokinin octapeptide, without affecting the maximal levels of these reactions from isolated rat pancreatic acini. Deoxycholate alone did not induce these reactions. The other bile acids such as cholate, chenodeoxycholate, ursodeoxycholate, and taurocholate were also active. Under the similar conditions, deoxycholate enhanced the secretagogue-induced diacylglycerol formation that was derived mainly from the phospholipase C-mediated hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylinositol-4-monophosphate. Deoxycholate did not enhance the secretagogue-induced hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate or Ca2+ mobilization. Deoxycholate did not affect amylase secretion, which was induced by the simultaneous addition of protein kinase C-activating 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate and Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin. Since diacylglycerol and Ca2+ may be responsible for the secretagogue-induced amylase secretion, our results indicate that small amounts of bile acids increase the sensitivity to the secretagogue of diacylglycerol formation and subsequent activation of protein kinase C, and thereby enhance amylase secretion from pancreatic acini.

The effects of the phorbol ester, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) on amylase secretion and cytoplasmic free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) were investigated in dispersed guinea pig pancreatic acini. Carbachol evoked dose-dependent increases in amylase secretion and [Ca2+]i with half-maximal responses at 2.5 and 5 microM, respectively. Carbachol-induced calcium transients could be blocked by atropine. In the presence of a maximal effective dose of carbachol, cholecystokinin octapeptide caused no further increase in [Ca2+]i, suggesting that both agonists act on the same pool of trigger calcium. TPA (10(-9)-10(-6) M) stimulated amylase secretion with no change in [Ca2+]i. Maximum amylase secretion occurred at 0.5 microM TPA. Preincubation of acini in the presence of TPA resulted in a time- and dose-dependent inhibition (IC50 = 30 nM) of the carbachol-induced rise in [Ca2+]i, the maximal effect being observed within 3 min. The inactive phorbol ester, 4 alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate was ineffective in inhibiting the carbachol-stimulated rise in [Ca2+]i. These findings suggest that, in addition to stimulating amylase secretion, probably through protein kinase C, TPA may also exert a negative feedback control over secretagogue-induced calcium transients.

Three distinct classes of protein kinases have been shown to regulate Ca2+ current in excitable tissues. Cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase mediates the action of noradrenaline on the Ca2+ current of cardiac muscle cells. Cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase mediates the serotonin-induced modulation of the Ca2+ current in identified snail neurons. The Ca2+/diacylglycerol-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C) has also been found to regulate Ca2+ currents of neurons. However, no neurotransmitter has yet been shown to regulate Ca2+ current through the activation of protein kinase C. We now report that cholecystokinin, a widely occurring neuropeptide which is present in molluscan neuron, modulates the Ca2+ current in identified neurons of the snail Helix aspersa, and that this effect appears to be mediated by protein kinase C. Specifically, sulphated cholecystokinin octapeptide 26-33 (CCK8), activators of protein kinase C, and intracellular injection of protein kinase C, all shorten the Ca2+-dependent action potential and decrease the amplitude of the Ca2+ current in these cells. All these effects are not reversible within the duration of the experiments. Moreover, intracellular injections of low concentrations of protein kinase C, which are ineffective by themselves, enhance the effectiveness of low concentrations of CCK8 on the Ca2+ current.

1-oleoyl-2-acetyl glycerol (OAG), a potent activator of protein kinase C, inhibited the binding of 125I-labelled epidermal growth factor (EGF) in isolated rat pancreatic acini. Unlike cholecystokinin-octapeptide (CCK8) and the C-kinase activator 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA), two inhibitors of 125I-EGF endocytosis in the pancreas, OAG had no effect on the distribution of bound ligand between the cell surface and intracellular compartments. Unlike TPA, OAG failed to potentiate the inhibitory effects of the calcium ionophore A23187 on 125I-EGF cell-associated radioactivity and had no effect on either basal or carbachol-stimulated amylase release in acini. These data suggest that the actions of the synthetic diacyl-glycerol OAG are not fully equivalent with the action of other known activators of protein kinase C in the pancreatic acinar cell.

The effect of prolonged protein kinase C activation on cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8)-induced amylase secretion from rabbit pancreatic acini was studied by means of the phorbol ester, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA). The phorbol ester itself increased basal amylase secretion but inhibited completely the secretory response to relatively low concentrations of CCK-8. The inhibitory action of TPA on CCK-8-induced amylase secretion was paralleled by inhibition of CCK-8-induced calcium mobilization but not by inhibition of CCK-8-induced breakdown of 32P-labelled phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. The results presented suggest that protein kinase C, or one of its phosphorylated products, inhibits the CCK-8-stimulated pathway leading to secretion at a level beyond the secretagogue-induced hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. Inhibition of the initial, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-mediated and extracellular calcium-independent, increase in free cytosolic calcium concentration, together with the findings of others, suggests that the efficacy of this inositol-phosphate to release calcium is reduced.

12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) and cholecystokinin octapeptide stimulate amylase secretion in dispersed pancreatic acini, presumably acting via the activation of protein kinase C. In this study, we examined TPA pretreatment on the subsequent response of rat pancreatic acini to secretagogues. Acini exposed to TPA (3 X 10(-7) M) at 37 degrees C reduced the subsequent amylase secretion as stimulated by cholecystokinin octapeptide and carbachol, but not by A23187 or VIP. The optimal effect was obtained after 5 min of preincubation with TPA. Longer incubation did not result in greater attenuation. The degree of attenuation was dependent on the concentration of TPA used in the pretreatment. Maximal effect was seen at TPA concentrations of 10(-7) M and higher. Preincubation with TPA resulted in alterations of the dose response of pancreatic acini to cholecystokinin octapeptide. A decrease in amylase secretion was obtained at optimal and suboptimal but not at supraoptimal concentrations of cholecystokinin octapeptide. The peak response to cholecystokinin octapeptide, furthermore, was shifted almost 1 log unit to the right, suggesting a decrease in cholecystokinin binding of the acini following TPA treatment. Binding studies demonstrated a reduction in the specific binding of 125I-labelled cholecystokinin octapeptide to acini following TPA treatment. Analysis of binding data revealed a decrease in affinity and binding capacity of the high-affinity component. No significant change in the binding capacity was detected with the low-affinity component, but a great increase in its affinity was observed. This suggests that the attenuation effect by TPA on the cholecystokinin octapeptide response in rat pancreatic acini in vitro is at the receptor level.

Previous observations have shown unresponsiveness of pancreatic acini to cholecystokinin C-terminal octapeptide (CCK-8) and cholinergic agents in newborn rats. In this study, the possibility that a lack of protein kinase C may be one factor limiting the responsiveness of the acini was examined. In the term fetus and in newborns cytosolic protein kinase C activity was low. Shortly after birth, the activity increased rapidly and by 2 days of age reached adult levels which were 5-fold higher than that in the newborn. No differences in subcellular distribution of protein kinase C activity between the particulate and the cytosol fractions were found at any age studied. Developmental profiles of phorbol dibutyrate binding, an alternative method for measuring protein kinase C, were similar to those of protein kinase C activity measurements. Using stimulation of amylase secretion as an index of responsiveness, dispersed pancreatic acini of newborn rats were found to be unresponsive to TPA (a potent activator of protein kinase C) and CCK-8, but were responsive to dibutyryl cAMP and calcium ionophore A23187 (agents not dependent on protein kinase C activity). These results suggest that the low levels of pancreatic protein kinase C in newborn rats are at least in part responsible for the unresponsiveness of pancreatic acini to 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate and CCK-8.
