The effects of short-term, 7-day, treatment with synthetic 15-leucine human gastrin I, pentagastrin or sulfated cholecystokinin-8 on the activity of histamine (HA)-stimulated adenylate cyclase in membranes isolated from guinea pig gastric mucosa and H2-receptor-mediated contractions of isolated ilea were evaluated. Treatment with each of the peptides produced a decrease in the maximal rate of HA-stimulated adenylate cyclase. The decreases in the maximal rate occurred without any effect on the potency of HA or any effect on basal rates of activity. In animals treated with pentagastrin, but not with cholecystokinin octapeptide sulfate, the contractile activity of dimaprit, a selective H2-agonist, was decreased. In animals treated with pentagastrin, the contractile actions of pentagastrin on isolated ileal preparations were increased. A 7-day treatment with the H2-antagonist, tiotidine, did not alter the potency of or the maximal response for HA-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity. Co-treatment with tiotidine prevented the effects of pentagastrin on gastric mucosal HA-stimulated adenylate cyclase. Treatment with pentagastrin did not alter the sensitivity of the gastric mucosal H2-receptor to inhibition by tiotidine. The effects of treatment with gastrin on NaF-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity also were determined. Treatment with gastrin did not alter the actions of NaF, suggesting that the coupling between the Gs subunit and the catalytic subunit of adenylate cyclase was not altered.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Peptide YY (PYY), found in intestinal endocrine cells, and neuropeptide Y (NPY), a structural analogue of PYY found in neurons, inhibit gastric, pancreatic, and intestinal fluid and electrolyte secretion. We examined the effects of these peptides on dispersed chief cells from guinea pig stomach. PYY and NPY, but not pancreatic polypeptide, starting at nanomolar concentrations, caused a 40-50% inhibition of secretin-, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide-, prostaglandin E2-, and forskolin-induced increases in chief cell adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) content and pepsinogen secretion. These inhibitory peptides did not alter pepsinogen secretion caused by cholecystokinin, carbamylcholine, A23187, 8-bromo-cAMP, or a phorbol ester. The inhibitory effects of PYY on chief cell cAMP production occurred within 30 s, were independent of phosphodiesterase activity, and did not affect the actions of cholera toxin. However, the inhibitory effects of PYY were abolished when chief cells were preincubated with pertussis toxin, an agent that uncouples inhibitory guanine nucleotide binding (G) proteins from their receptors. In gastric chief cells, PYY and NPY attenuate the stimulatory effects of secretagogues whose actions are mediated by changes in cellular levels of cAMP. PYY-induced attenuation of chief cell adenylate cyclase activity appears to involve activation of inhibitory G proteins.

The regulation of cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8) secretion was studied using a fetal cerebral cortical cell culture system. After 2-3 weeks in culture, the cells were utilized for short-term release experiments. CCK-8 was measured by RIA and its identity was confirmed by HPLC. Depolarization of the cells with K+ (6 x 10(-2) M) evoked CCK-8 release and this response was blocked by the Ca++ channel blocker verapamil (2 x 10(-5) M) and by Ca++ free medium. The Na+ channel opener veratridine (10(-4) M) stimulated CCK-8 release and was blocked by the Na+ channel blocker tetrodotoxin (10(-6) M) and by Ca++ free medium. The adenylate cyclase activator forskolin (10(-5) M) markedly increased CCK-8 secretion. No changes in CCK-8 release were induced by epinephrine, norepinephrine, dopamine, acetylcholine, or 5-hydroxytryptamine at 10(-5) and 10(-4) M, but gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) at 10(-4) M inhibited CCK-8 release. GABA inhibition was reversed by the GABA antagonist picrotoxin (10(-4) M). Both picrotoxin (10(-4) M) and bicuculline (10(-3) M), another GABA receptor antagonist, alone stimulated CCK-8 secretion. These data show that CCK-8 secretion by cerebral cortical cells 1) is stimulated by cell membrane depolarization in a calcium-dependent fashion, 2) is regulated by cAMP, 3) is unaffected by the neurotransmitters characteristic of corticopetal systems, 4) is tonically inhibited by GABA.

The priming effect of glucagon-like peptide-1 (7-36) amide (GLP-1 (7-36) amide), glucose-dependent insulin-releasing polypeptide (GIP) and cholecystokinin-8 (CCK-8) on glucose-induced insulin secretion from rat pancreas was investigated. The isolated pancreas was perfused in vitro with Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate buffer containing 2.8 mmol/l glucose. After 10 min this medium was supplemented with GLP-1 (7-36) amide, GIP or CCK-8 (10, 100, 1000 pmol/l) for 10 min. After an additional 10 min period with 2.8 mmol/l glucose alone, insulin secretion was stimulated with buffer containing 10 mmol/l glucose for 44 min. In control experiments the typical biphasic insulin response to 10 mmol/l glucose occurred. Pretreatment of the pancreas with GIP augmented insulin secretion: 10 pmol/l GIP enhanced only the first phase of the secretory response to 10 mmol/l glucose; 100 and 1000 pmol/l GIP stimulated both phases of hormone secretion. After exposure to CCK-8, enhanced insulin release during the first (at 10 and 1000 pmol/l CCK-8) and the second phase (at 1000 pmol/l) was observed. Priming with 100 pmol/l GLP-1 (7-36) amide significantly amplified the first and 1000 pmol/l GLP-1 (7-36) amide both secretion periods, 10 pmol/l GLP-1 (7-36) amide had no significant effect. All three peptide hormones influenced the first, quickly arising secretory response more than the second phase. Priming with forskolin (30 mM) enhanced the secretory response to 10 mM glucose plus 0.5 nM GLP-1 (7-36) amide 4-fold. With a glucose-responsive B-cell line (HIT cells), we investigated the hypothesis that the priming effect of GLP-1 (7-36) amide is mediated by the adenylate cyclase system. Priming with either IBMX (0.1 mM) or forskolin (2.5 microM) enhanced the insulin release after a consecutive glucose stimulation (5 mM). This effect was pronounced when GLP-1 (7-36) amide (100 pM) was added during glucose stimulation. Priming capacities of intestinal peptide hormones may be involved in the regulation of postprandial insulin release. The incretin action of these hormones can probably, at least in part, be explained by these effects. The priming effect of GLP-1 (7-36) amide is most likely mediated by the adenylate cyclase system.

Prostaglandins of the E type may have a potential role in pancreatic physiology and pathophysiology. Because prostaglandins of the E type inhibit HCl secretion in parietal cells via a specific receptor by inhibition of adenylylcyclase, we studied whether a similar mechanism exists in the exocrine pancreas. Isolated rat pancreatic acini were incubated with various concentrations of secretagogues, such as cholecystokinin-octapeptide (CCK-8), bombesin, carbachol, and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), in the absence or presence of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), and amylase secretion was measured. For receptor binding studies, acini and pancreatic membranes were incubated with [3H]PGE2 and either unlabeled PGE2 or other types of prostaglandins. PGE2 (10(-13) to 10(-5) M) did not inhibit basal amylase secretion. However, CCK-8-stimulated secretion was significantly inhibited. Stimulation of secretion by bombesin, carbachol, VIP, and secretin was also inhibited by PGE2, but not as pronounced as CCK-8-stimulated secretion. The formation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate induced by CCK-8 was markedly inhibited by simultaneous incubation with PGE2. Furthermore, PGE2 slightly but significantly reduced the CCK-8-induced efflux of 45Ca2+ from prelabeled acini. Intact acini and a membrane fraction bound [3H]PGE2 and this function could be equally competed by either unlabeled PGE2 or PGE1 in contrast to less-related prostaglandins such as PGF2 alpha, PGD2, and prostacyclin. We conclude that prostaglandins of the E type inhibit pancreatic enzyme secretion stimulated by various secretagogues. This function is mediated via specific receptors for PGE. With regard to CCK-8-stimulated secretion this function may be mediated by an inhibition of formation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate.

In this study we have examined the effects of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), the cyclooxygenase inhibitor, indomethacin, and a protein kinase A inhibitor (PKA-I) on the Cl- conductance in isolated zymogen granules (ZG) from cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8) pre-stimulated pancreatic acini. The Cl- conductance in isolated ZG from CCK-8 pre-stimulated rat pancreatic acini increases with increasing CCK-8 concentrations and decreases at supramaximal CCK-8 concentrations. The basal and CCK-8-stimulated Cl- conductance in ZG is inhibited by pretreatment of acini with PGE2 (10(-6) M). This PGE2-induced inhibition is abolished in the presence of PKA-I (20 U/ml). Furthermore, pretreatment of acini with indomethacin (10(-5) M) or PKA-I (20 U/ml) abolishes the decrease in the CL- conductance at supramaximal CCK-8 concentrations (10(-9) M). We conclude that the inhibition of the CL- conductance in isolated ZG at high CCK-8 concentrations is mediated by an enhanced production of PGE2, and that PGE2 operates by stimulating adenylate cyclase (AC) with a consequent rise in cAMP and activation of PKA.

Canine jejunal epithelial cells were isolated and maintained in short-term culture to study cholecystokinin (CCK) release. Sequential digestion of jejunal mucosa with collagenase and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid was followed by counterflow elutriation to enrich CCK-containing cells. After 40 hours in culture on collagen-coated plates, 8.4% of the initially seeded cells were attached; 8.7% of them stained positive with a C-terminal CCK/gastrin antibody and 2.5% stained positive with a gastrin-specific antibody. Basal release of CCK into the culture medium amounted to 1.3% of total cell content over 105 minutes. Receptor-independent stimulation of protein kinase C by the phorbol ester beta-phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate caused significant CCK release. The inactive form, 4 alpha-phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate, had no effect. Activation of adenylate cyclase by 10(-5) mol/L forskolin evoked a 2.5-fold increase in CCK concentrations, which was completely abolished by 10(-8) mol/L somatostatin. L-phenylalanine stimulated CCK release at 20 and 50 mmol/L, whereas D-phenylalanine caused significant hormone output only at 50 mmol/L. L-tryptophan had no effect. Cholecystokinin release stimulated by L-phenylalanine was not influenced by the addition of either somatostatin or somatostatin antibody. In conclusion, a system of isolated canine jejunal epithelial cells was developed in short-term culture. This preparation proved suitable for the study of CCK release on a cellular basis.

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a unique peptide with wide distribution in central and peripheral nervous systems. In the guinea pig, NPY-positive fibers are prominent in the myenteric plexus. To test whether NPY inhibits myenteric plexus acetylcholine (ACh) release and to define mechanisms, a purified preparation of myenteric plexus neurons was derived from the teniae coli of neonatal guinea pigs and maintained in primary culture. Incubation of cultured neurons labeled with [3H]ACh in the presence of NPY (10(-14)-10(-6) M) significantly inhibited basal ACh release (83 +/- 16 to 58 +/- 11% of control). NPY significantly inhibited ACh release stimulated by potassium (55 mM); by adenylate cyclase agonists forskolin (10(-6) M) and cholera toxin (10(-8) M); and by calcitonin gene-related peptide, cholecystokinin octapeptide, and vasoactive intestinal peptide (each 10(-8) M). In each instance, the inhibitory effects of NPY were reversed by preincubation with pertussis toxin. Reversal of inhibitory effects by pertussis toxin suggests that the actions of NPY are mediated via an inhibitory GTP-binding protein.

A primary culture of human antral somatostatin cells has been developed and used in release studies. The phorbol ester, phorbol 12 myristate 13-acetate, caused a concentration-dependent increase in immunoreactive somatostatin secretion with a 1-mumol/L concentration resulting in a 40-fold stimulation (basal 0.28% +/- 0.7% total cell content vs. 13.8% +/- 2.2% TCC, P less than 0.005). The calcium ionophore, A23187, resulted in a significant stimulation only at 1 mumol/L (basal 0.28% +/- 0.7% TCC vs. 2.2% +/- 0.5% total cell content, P less than 0.05). However, addition of the ionophore at 1 mumol/L with the phorbol ester resulted in a potentiation of the response at all concentrations tested. Removal of extracellular calcium by chelation with EGTA reduced the response to that seen with the phorbol ester alone. Forskolin at 0.1 mmol/L resulted in a five-fold increase (basal 0.6% +/- 0.2% total cell content vs. 2.8% +/- 0.9% total cell content, P less than 0.02) and was 1000-fold less potent than the phorbol ester. The peptides bombesin and gastrin at concentrations up to 1 mumol/L had no effect on basal secretion. Cholecystokinin-8 significantly stimulated somatostatin secretion with a maximal effect at 0.1 mumol/L resulting in an eightfold increase (basal 0.2% +/- 0.04% total cell content vs. 1.5% +/- 0.4% total cell content, P less than 0.02). These results indicate that human antral D cells are more responsive to agents acting through the c-kinase pathway (phorbol 12 myristate 13-acetate, A23187, and cholecystokinin) than adenylate cyclase (forskolin).

The messenger role of Ca+2, cyclic nucleotides and inositol triphosphates in the stimulation of pepsinogen and mucous secretion were studied using isolated pig [correction of nug] gastric chief cells and guinea pig mucous cells, resp. Pepsinogen secretion was stimulated by agents either working at the postreceptor adenylate cyclase (AC) level (db-cAMP, forskolin) or after 12-o-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) stimulation of protein kinase C (PK C). Similar secretory effects were observed with histamine (H), carbachol (C) and cholecystokinin (CCK). [Ca-2] in was elevated by C and by CCK, but not by H in both types of cells. Like TPA, both C and CCK, but not H, stimulated the Ca+2-sensitive particulate PK C. H increased the activity of cAMP-dependent PK A. PGE2, C and CCK were found to increase inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate content in mucous cells. The findings indicate that two pathways of the regulation of pepsinogen and mucous secretion (AC-cAMP-PK C and phosphoinositol breakdown cascade) can act synergistically.
