The regulation of acid secretion was clarified by the development of H2-receptor antagonists in the 1970s. It appears that gastrin and acetylcholine exert their effects on acid secretion mainly by stimulation of histamine release from the enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cell of the fundic gastric mucosa. The isolated ECL cell of rat gastric mucosa responds to gastrin/cholecystokinin (CCK), acetylcholine, and epinephrine with histamine release and to somatostatin and R-alpha-methyl histamine by inhibition of histamine release. Histamine and acetylcholine stimulate the parietal cell by elevation of cAMP or [Ca]i by activation of H2 or M3 receptors, respectively. These independent pathways converge to activate the gastric acid pump, the H+,K+ ATPase. Activation is a function of the association of the ATPase with a potassium chloride transport pathway that occurs in the membrane of the secretory canaliculus of the parietal cell. Hence the secretory canaliculus is the site of acid secretion, the acid being pumped into the lumen of the canaliculus. The pump is composed of two subunits, a large catalytic and a smaller glycosylated protein. This final step of acid secretion has become the target of drugs also designed to inhibit acid secretion. The target domain of the benzimidazole class of acid pump inhibitors is the extracytoplasmic domain of the pump that is secreting acid, and the target amino acids are the cysteines present in this domain. The secondary structure of the pump can be analyzed by determining trypsin-sensitive bonds in intact, cytoplasmic-side-out vesicles of the ATPase, and it has been shown that the alpha subunit has at least eight membrane-spanning segments. Omeprazole, the first acid pump inhibitor, forms a disulfide bond with cysteines in the extracytoplasmic loop between the fifth and sixth membrane-spanning segment and to a cysteine in the extracytoplasmic loop between the seventh and eight segments, preventing phosphorylation of the pump by ATP. As a result of the effective and long-lasting inhibition of acid secretion by the acid pump inhibitor, superior clinical results have been found in all forms of acid-related disease.

The involvement of Ca2+ and cyclic nucleotides in neurohormonal regulation of Na+-K+-ATPase (Na+-K+ pump) activity in guinea pig pancreatic acinar cells was investigated. Changes in Na+-K+ pump activity elicited by secretagogues were assessed by [3H]ouabain binding and by ouabain-sensitive 86Rb+ uptake. Carbachol (CCh) and cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8) each stimulated both ouabain-sensitive 86Rb+ uptake and equilibrium binding of [3H]ouabain by approximately 60%. Secretin increased both indicators of Na+-K+ pump activity by approximately 40% as did forskolin, 8-bromo- and dibutyryl cAMP, theophylline, and isobutylmethylxanthine. Incubation of acinar cells in Ca2+-free HEPES-buffered Ringer (HR) with 0.5 mM EGTA reduced the stimulatory effects of CCh and CCK-8 by up to 90% but caused only a small reduction in the effects of secretin, forskolin, and cAMP analogues. In addition, CCh, CCK-8, secretin, and forskolin each stimulated ouabain-insensitive 86Rb+ uptake by acinar cells. The increase elicited by CCh and CCK-8 was greatly reduced in the absence of extracellular Ca2+, while that caused by the latter two agents was not substantially altered. The effects of secretagogues on free Ca2+ levels in pancreatic acinar cells also were investigated with quin-2, a fluorescent Ca2+ chelator. Basal intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) was 161 nM in resting cells and increased to 713 and 803 nM within 15 s after addition of 100 microM CCh or 10 nM CCK-8, respectively. Forskolin, secretin, and cAMP analogues had no effect on [Ca2+]i, nor did they either reduce or potentiate the rise in [Ca2+]i evoked by CCh.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The role of contractile proteins in secretory granule exocytosis was evaluated by determining whether myosin light chain phosphorylation was altered during stimulation of secretion in mouse pancreatic acini. Acinar myosin was purified by extraction into isosmotic sucrose solution containing 40 mM pyrophosphate followed by ammonium sulfate precipitation and Sepharose 4B-CL chromatography. Myosin was eluted as a single peak of K+-EDTA ATPase activity and was purified over 2,000-fold to a final ATPase specific activity of 0.96 mumol.min-1.mg protein-1. Three major myosin subunits of apparent Mr of 200,000, 20,000, and 17,000 were present in the purified myosin preparation. A fourth protein of Mr 21,000 was also present. Purification of myosin from 32P-labeled acini revealed the Mr 200,000, 21,000, and 20,000 proteins to be heavily labeled. The effect of cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8) on myosin phosphorylation was studied after isolation of myosin from 32P-labeled acinar lysates by immunoprecipitation. Treatment of acini for 1-10 min with a concentration of CCK-8 that gives a maximal secretory response caused a 25-40% increase in light chain labeling. Treatment with a supramaximal CCK-8 concentration produced a 50-80% increase in light chain labeling. Phosphorylation of myosin heavy chain was not significantly affected by secretagogue treatment. These results indicate that stimulation of pancreatic acinar secretion is accompanied by an increase in myosin light chain phosphorylation.

The uptake of 45Ca2+ was studied in microsomes prepared from isolated mouse pancreatic acini. These microsomes accumulated 45Ca2+ in the presence of ATP; uptake was potentiated by addition of oxalate. Sequestered microsomal 45Ca2+ was only gradually removed by ethyleneglycol-bis(beta-aminoethylether)-N,N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA) but was readily released by the divalent cation ionophore A23187. Inhibitors of mitochondrial oxidation and mitochondrial calcium transport had little effect on microsomal 45Ca2+ uptake. A separate subcellular fraction enriched in plasma membranes took up 45Ca2+ poorly compared with the microsomal fraction. Half-maximal 45Ca2+ uptake by the microsomal fraction was observed at a free Ca2+ concentration of 1.1 microM. 45Ca2+ uptake was dependent on Mg-ATP and showed a pH optimum at 6.8-7.0. Subfractionation of the total microsomes into "heavy" and "light" microsomal fractions indicated higher 45Ca2+ uptake activity associated with the heavy fraction. A Ca2+-activated, Mg2+-dependent ATPase was demonstrated in this fraction. Stimulation of pancreatic acini with the cholecystokinin analogue caerulein prior to homogenization increased the subsequent rate of 45Ca2+ uptake by the microsomal fraction.

The subcellular distribution of cholecystokinin (CCK), especially its exact localization within the synaptosome, was studied in the rat cerebral cortex. Highest CCK-like bioactivity was measured in the synaptic membrane fractions, paralleling the distribution of (Na+ + K+)-dependent ATPase. In the synaptic vesicles, which were characterized by high acetylcholine content and by the absence of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase, only minimal quantities of CCK were detected.

It has been proposed that bidirectional and concentration-dependent fluxes of digestive enzymes across pancreatic acinar cell membranes account for secretion. One implication of such a model is that protein secretion should be a function of fluid outflow, inasmuch as flow would be required to generate the necessary concentration gradient by carrying away secreted material. In an earlier study (Science 204: 1212, 1979) when fluid flow was decreased by a backpressure applied to fluid in the pancreatic duct, proportional reductions in protein secretion occurred. The present study uses metabolic rather than mechanophysical methods to decrease flow, reduction of the sodium concentration of the medium bathing the pancreas, or addition of the Na+-K+-ATPase inhibitor ouabain. Both treatments produced similar results: decreases in protein output synchronous with and proportional to the observed decreases in flow. Essentially the same relationship was seen when flow was reduced during protein secretion augmented by the secretagogue cholecystokinin-pancreozymin. These results suggest that the reduction in flow rate (whether produced mechanically or chemically) was the variable directly responsible for the decrease in protein secretion by the acinar cell.

Peripheral regulation of gastric acid secretion is initiated by the release of gastrin from the G cell. Gastrin then stimulates the cholecystokinin-B receptor on the enterochromaffin-like cell beginning a calcium signaling cascade. An exocytotic release of histamine follows with concomitant activation of a C1- current. The released histamine begins the H2-receptor mediated sequence of events in the parietal cell, which results in activation of the gastric H+/K+ - ATPase. This enzyme is the final common pathway of acid secretion. The H+/K+ - ATPase is composed of two subunits: the larger alpha-subunit couples ion transport to hydrolysis of ATP, the smaller beta-subunit is required for appropriate assembly of the holoenzyme. Both the membrane and extracytoplasmic domain contain the ion transport pathway, and therefore, this region is the target for the antisecretory drugs of the post-H2 era. The 100 kDa alpha-subunit has probably 10 membrane spanning segments with, therefore, five extracytoplasmic loops. The 35 kDA beta-subunit has a single membrane spanning segment, and most of this protein is extracytoplasmic with the six or seven N glycosylation consensus sequences occupied. Omeprazole is an acid-accumulated, acid-activated, prodrug that binds covalently to two cysteine residues at positions 813 (or 822) and 892, accessible from the acidic face of the pump. Lansoprazole binds to cys321, 813 (or 822) and 892; pantoprazole binds to cys813 and 822. The common binding site for these drugs (cys813 or 822) is responsible for the inhibition of acid transport. Covalent inhibition of the acid pump improves control of acid secretion, but since the effective half life of the inhibition in man is about 48 hr, full inhibition of acid secretion, perhaps necessary for eradication of Helicobacter pylori in combination with a single antibiotic, will require prolongation of the effect of this class of drug.

The mechanism of the potentiating effect of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) on cholecystokinin (CCK-8)-induced amylase release was studied in isolated and perifused pancreatic acini of the guinea pig. VIP (30 pM-10 nM) potentiated CCK-8 (100 pM)-induced amylase release. Unexpectedly, VIP inhibited CCK-8-induced intracellular Ca2+ oscillations. Forskolin (10 microM), an activator of adenylate cyclase, potentiated CCK-8 (100 pM)-induced amylase release with a time course similar to that observed with VIP. Caffeine (20 mM) inhibited both amylase release and Ca2+ oscillations in response to CCK-8, suggesting that inhibition of Ca2+ oscillations does not necessarily lead to a potentiation of amylase release. When intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]c) was raised by thapsigargin (10 microM), a selective inhibitor of Ca(2+)-ATPase in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), VIP (10 nM) induced significantly greater amylase release than that induced by VIP alone. When [Ca2+]c was lowered by preincubation with BAPTA-AM (25 microM), a cell-permeant Ca2+ chelator, VIP-induced amylase release was completely abolished. These results suggest that VIP, in spite of its inhibitory action on Ca2+ oscillations, facilitates a Ca(2+)-dependent process distal to the increase in [Ca2+]c to potentiate CCK-8-induced amylase release.

Transgenic mice bearing the rat elastase I promoter - SV40 T-antigen (ELSV) fusion gene develop pancreatic acinar cell carcinomas by 3-6 months of age. In other animal models of pancreatic cancer, cholecystokinin (CCK) has been shown to be a tumor promoter. Therefore, we characterized CCK binding properties and CCK-A receptor mRNA expression in pancreatic carcinomas and dysplastic pancreata from the Tg(Ela-1, SV40E+Ela-1, neo)Bri19 strain of ELSV transgenic mice. To accomplish this, we utilized 125I-Bolton-Hunter-labeled-cholecystokinin octapeptide (125I-BH-CCK-8) binding studies, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and Southern blot analysis to examine pancreatic carcinomas from 26-week-old male ELSV transgenic mice, dysplastic pancreata from 8-week-old male ELSV transgenic mice, and normal pancreas from 30-week-old nontransgenic male mice (SJL/J) and 8-week-old nontransgenic male mice (B6SJLF1/J). Optimal saturable CCK-8 binding was detected at pH 6.5, 22 degrees C. Competitive inhibition 125I-BH-CCK-8 binding assays performed on all four mouse pancreatic tissues showed that CCK-8 bound to two classes of CCK binding sites: a high affinity, lower capacity CCK binding site and a low affinity, higher capacity CCK binding site. RT-PCR and Southern blot analysis confirmed the 125I-BH-CCK-8 binding studies by demonstrating CCK-A receptor mRNA expression in the ELSV transgenic pancreatic carcinomas and dysplastic pancreas, as well as in normal nontransgenic mouse pancreas. In conclusion, pancreatic carcinomas and dysplastic pancreas from ELSV transgenic mice and normal nontransgenic mouse pancreas all bind 125I-BH-CCK-8 and express mRNA for the CCK-A receptor. In contrast to chemically-induced pancreatic tumors in the rat, ELSV transgenic mouse pancreatic tumors do not appear to significantly overexpress CCK-A receptors.

Chicken gastrin has a C-terminal sequence resembling mammalian cholecystokinin, but its biological properties resemble mammalian gastrin. The mechanisms controlling chicken gastrin release are poorly understood. We have investigated the factors which influence chicken gastrin secretion in vivo. Plasma gastrin concentration was decreased within 12 h of fasting, but tissue gastrin concentrations were not significantly changed even after 24 h of food deprivation. In birds fasted for 24 h and treated with the H+/K(+)-ATPase inhibitor, omeprazole, plasma gastrin concentration was greatly enhanced indicating the importance of acid inhibition of the gastrin cell. It is well established that amino acids (particularly aromatics like Phe and Trp) and peptides stimulate gastrin release in mammals. In chicken, however, Met, His and Arg were the strongest stimulant amongst the essential amino acids investigated. Of these three amino acids, Met rapidly stimulated gastrin release. The GRP antagonist M216140 did not suppress the Met-induced gastrin release, suggesting that Met did not stimulate GRP release. Aromatic amino acids did not strongly influence gastrin release. Medium chain triacylglycerol, which is rapidly hydrolyzed to fatty acids in the lumen, strongly stimulated gastrin secretion but long chain triacylglycerol had no effect. The data suggest that amino acids (Met, Arg and His) and fatty acids, but not triacylglycerol, are gastrin releasing factors in birds while acid inhibits secretion: there are therefore both similarities and differences between birds and mammals in the control of gastrin release.
