Pertussis toxin was used to examine the functional linkage between somatostatin and acid secretion and the mode of action of somatostatin at the cellular level in the isolated luminally perfused mouse stomach. Pretreatment of the stomach with pertussis toxin (125-1,250 ng/ml) for 60 min 1) caused a significant twofold increase in histamine-stimulated acid secretion (from 42 +/- 7 to 82 +/- 12 nmol/min; P less than 0.01) but not pentagastrin-stimulated secretion and 2) blocked the inhibitory effect of somatostatin on basal and histamine-stimulated acid secretion but not on pentagastrin-stimulated acid secretion. The ability of pertussis toxin to reverse selectively the inhibitory effect of somatostatin on histamine-stimulated acid secretion is consistent with the ability of pertussis toxin to inactivate a guanine nucleotide binding protein, which couples somatostatin receptors to inhibition of adenylate cyclase; histamine, but not gastrin, stimulates acid secretion via activation of adenylate cyclase. Secretagogue-stimulated acid secretion was accompanied by a parallel increase in somatostatin secretion that is largely determined by luminal acidity. The augmentation of histamine-stimulated acid secretion after treatment with pertussis toxin implied that the concomitant increase in somatostatin secretion is coupled to acid secretion and acts to attenuate it. The results confirm the role of gastric somatostatin as a paracrine regulator of acid secretion.

In patients with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, serum gastrin level is increased by secretin and is decreased by somatostatin. To elucidate the cellular mechanism for these actions, we investigated the direct effects of secretin and somatostatin on dispersed gastrinoma cells from a patient with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. In the presence of 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, secretin significantly stimulated gastrin release from dispersed gastrinoma cells, which was inhibited by somatostatin. In the presence of guanosine 5'-triphosphate, furthermore, secretin enhanced adenylate cyclase activation in the membranes from these cells, and this activation was reduced by somatostatin, whereas neither secretin nor somatostatin affected inositol phospholipid turnover. On the other hand, removal of guanosine 5'-triphosphate from incubation medium abolished both the stimulatory effect of secretin and the inhibitory effect of somatostatin on adenylate cyclase activation. Furthermore, pertussis toxin pretreatment reversed the ability of somatostatin to inhibit secretin-induced increase in gastrin release and activation of adenylate cyclase. Thus, in this gastrinoma patient, secretin and somatostatin appeared to act directly on gastrinoma cells to stimulate and inhibit gastrin secretion, respectively, by modulating adenylate cyclase activation, probably via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins.

We and others have recently reported an involvement of calcium (Ca2+)-mediated intracellular pathways in the release of antral gastrin in response to bombesin (BBS), while cyclic adenosine 3'5'-monophosphate (cAMP) potentiated the gastrin response to BBS. In this study we examined the effect of cyclic nucleotides on BBS-induced gastrin release from isolated perfused rat stomachs. Dibutyryl cyclic AMP (dbcAMP, 1 mM), and Rolipram (a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, 0.5 microM), stimulated basal gastrin secretion and potentiated BBS-induced gastrin release. The stimulation of gastrin release by BBS was not altered by Wiptide (a cAMP dependent protein kinase inhibitor, 1.0 microM), but was surprisingly inhibited by dbcGMP (1 mM). The cAMP content in antral mucosa or in the perfusates was not changed after infusion of BBS. These findings coupled with previous results suggest that BBS-provoked gastrin release is principally coupled to a Ca2+-mediated intracellular pathway, and that an activation of the adenylate cyclase mediated pathway is not involved. Intracellular cGMP, however, may participate in the negative regulation of gastrin release induced by BBS.

The diterpene, forskolin, direct activator of the catalytic subunit of the adenylate cyclase from various tissues, also stimulates gastric acid secretion: in vitro, with an isolated parietal cell preparation, forskolin dose-dependently stimulated acid secretion (EC50: 1 microM) (measured by accumulation in the acidic spaces of the weak base [14C]-aminopyrine) and the maximal acid secretory value at 0.1 mM was 4 times higher than that obtained with histamine. Forskolin dramatically increased the production of intracellular cyclic-AMP at a level 4 times higher than that obtained with histamine at the same concentration. In vivo, gastric acid secretion of the rat is dose-dependently increased. The doses required to get a significant response (100 nmol/kg) were 1,000 times higher than those required for gastrin and 100 times lower than those for histamine, but the same maximal value was obtained. Cimetidine did not significantly modified this response. These results demonstrate that, both in vitro and in vivo, forskolin is a potent stimulant for gastric acid secretion.

Earlier experiments characterized the effect of SMS 201-995 on gastrin secretion from gastrinoma in vivo. The results showed that the somatostatin analogue inhibits basal as well as secretin- and calcium-stimulated gastrin secretion. The current study examined the effect of SMS 201-995 on gastrin secretion from gastrinoma in vitro. Gastrinoma cells were prepared in cell culture or acute cell dispersion to study basal gastrin release. In cell culture, SMS 201-995 at 10(-9) M, 10(-8) M, and 10(-7) M significantly stimulated gastrin secretion (basal medium gastrin, 157 +/- 7.9 pg/ml; with SMS 201-995 10(-9) M, 786 +/- 62 pg/ml; with SMS 201-995 10(-8) M, 569 +/- 72 pg/ml; and with SMS 201-995 10(-7) M, 258 +/- 26 pg/ml). In contrast, in acute cell dispersion, the somatostatin analogue inhibited gastrin secretion (basal medium gastrin, 12.8 +/- 1.3 ng/ml; with SMS 201-995 10(-9) M, 9.0 +/- 0.1 ng/ml; with SMS 201-995 10(-8) M, 8.4 +/- 1.5 ng/ml; and with SMS 201-995 10(-7) M, 7.9 +/- 0.2 ng/ml). Gastrinoma cells were prepared in cell culture to study the effect of SMS 201-995 on gastrin secretion stimulated by secretin and by post-receptor increases in adenosine cyclic nucleotide. The somatostatin analogue inhibited gastrin secretion stimulated by secretin (10(-6) M) (797 +/- 48 pg/ml for secretin alone, compared with 396 +/- 9.4 pg/ml for secretin plus SMS 201-995). SMS 201-995 did not inhibit gastrin secretion stimulated by dibutyryl cyclic AMP (10(-7) M) (617 +/- 62 pg/ml for dibutyryl cyclic AMP alone, compared with 778 +/- 55 pg/ml for the two together). In vitro, SMS 201-995 inhibits basal gastrin secretion from gastrinoma prepared in acute cell dispersion, but not gastrinoma in cell culture, probably due to differences in basal secretory rates. The effect in vitro is less than that in vivo. SMS 201-995 does not inhibit postreceptor increases in adenosine nucleotide. This indirectly supports the hypothesis that SMS 201-995 acts in gastrinoma cells to inhibit gastrin secretion by inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity.

Cellular mechanisms underlying the actions of antisecretory agents were studied with dispersed canine fundic cells; aminopyrine accumulation monitored parietal cell (PC) function. Canine PC have pharmacologically typical histamine (H) H2 and muscarinic (M) receptors. PC also have gastrin (G) receptors, which were selectively blocked by gastrin/CCK antagonists. Potentiating interactions occurred between secretagogues, one of the components of the interdependency between regulatory pathways. Prostaglandins (PG) E2 inhibited H-stimulated PC function. Treatment of PC with pertussis toxin (PT), which inactivates the inhibitory GTP-binding protein of adenylate cyclase (Gi), markedly reduced PG inhibition, indicating PG action via Gi. PC function can also be directly inhibited by H+/K+-ATPase inhibitors, such as omeprazole. When canine mucosal cells were studied, stimulatory G and inhibitory M receptors were present on fundic somatostatin (S) cells. Histamine was localized to canine fundic mast cells, which lacked G or M receptors, a conclusion that may not pertain to fundic histamine cells in other species. Nonparietal cell receptors may be important modulators of the regulation of acid secretion.

Gastric acid secretion is controlled by neurocrine, endocrine, and paracrine pathways. At the organ level, the neurocrine and endocrine systems provide long-range regulation; and near the target cell the paracrine system appears to predominate. The integration of the regulatory commands from these various pathways is complex and, as a result, some pathways have not yet been clearly defined. Present evidence suggests that acetylcholine from mucosal nerve endings acts by 2 possible pathways. It interacts with muscarinic receptors on the oxyntic cell stimulating acid production. It is also capable of releasing histamine from the paracrine cell in the gastric glands, and histamine then acts on the oxyntic cells. The endocrine effect on acid secretion mediated by gastrin is less clear. Gastrin binds to oxyntic cell plasma membranes but has little or no direct stimulatory effect on the acid-secreting cell. It is assumed that its stimulatory action on acid secretion in vivo is mediated primarily by increasing histamine levels near the oxyntic cells. Histamine, released from paracrine cells near the oxyntic cells, is probably controlled by acetylcholine and gastrin, but other mechanisms are being explored. Histamine binds to the H2-receptors on the oxyntic cell plasma membrane, activating adenylate cyclase, which catalyzes the production of the intracellular messenger cyclic AMP. Cyclic AMP in turn activates a specific protein kinase, which phosphorylates a yet unknown substrate for the propagation of the stimulatory signal. The action of acetylcholine on the oxyntic cell receptors does not stimulate the production of cyclic AMP; instead, it acts on Ca++ channels, increasing the Ca++ entrance into the cell, which initiates the intracellular events.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Functional gastrin-containing tumor cells (GT cells) have been maintained in short-term culture on microporous membranes, and their response to selected agents has been determined. After dispersion of gastrinoma by collagenase-DNAase digestion coupled with mechanical disruption, dispersed cells were depleted in stromal material by selective attachment to a plastic substrate, then cultured for 72 hours on porous cellulose membranes. Cultures contained 68 +/- 5% GT cells with a viability of 92 +/- 2%. Secretin stimulated the rate of gastrin release from cultured GT cells in both a time- and a dose-dependent fashion. To examine the possible involvement of adenylate cyclase- and protein kinase C-mediated mechanisms in regulating gastrin release from the neoplastic GT cells, we evaluated the effects of 8-bromoadenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate (8-BrcAMP; 10(-4) - 10(-2) mol/L), the diterpene forskolin (10(-5) mol/L), 12-0-tetradencanoylphorobol 13-acetate (TPA; 10(-8) - 10(-6) mol/L), and 4 alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate (4 alpha PDD; 10(-8) - 10(-6) mol/L) on gastrin release. Among all compounds tested, 8-BrcAMP (10(-2) mol/L) was the most potent, stimulating the rate of gastrin release 263% above basal. Both 8-BrcAMP and TPA stimulated gastrin release in a dose-dependent fashion. The biologically inactive phorbol ester, 4 alpha PDD, was without effect at all concentrations. Somatostatin (10(-8) - 10(-6) mol/L) inhibited 8-BrcAMP-stimulated gastrin release in a dose-dependent fashion to a maximum of 75%.

Parietal cell secretory function may be inhibited by three mechanisms. (1) Receptors for gastrin, histamine and acetylcholine are present on the canine parietal cell, and parietal cell function may be directly inhibited by specific antagonists for each of these receptors. (2) Receptor activation of parietal cell function is mediated by cyclic AMP-dependent (histamine) and calcium-dependent (cholinergic agents and gastrin) mechanisms. The antisecretory action of prostaglandins reflect interference with histamine activation of adenylate cyclase. The current generations of calcium channel blockers have only weak antisecretory actions in vivo and are unlikely to be useful in clinical practice. (3) A third mechanism of inhibition is blockade of H+/K(+)-ATPase by substituted benzimidazoles, such as omeprazole. Each of these three mechanism provides modalities of potential clinical usefulness for treating acid-peptic disease. Gastrin and acetylcholine receptors are present on other fundic cells, in addition to the parietal cell. These other cells include the somatostatin cell in the dog fundic mucosa and the histamine-containing enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cell present in the fundic mucosa of several species. The relative impact of these receptors on different cell types on the regulation of acid secretion remains uncertain, and is probably variable among different species. One gastrin receptor of considerable importance is the gastrin receptor that exerts a trophic effect on the ECL cell in the fundic mucosa. Sustained hypergastrinaemia in response to profound hypochlorhydria is associated with hyperplasia of this cell type; the elucidation of the conditions that promote this hyperplasia and the clinical consequences of this association are pressing challenges.

Functional and specific receptors for vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) (determined by their capacity to bind 125I-VIP and activate adenylate cyclase) and cyclic AMP-dependent phosphodiesterase activities were characterized in enterocytes of human fetal small intestine between 18 and 23 weeks of gestation. Half-maximal stimulation of the cyclase and inhibition of 125I-VIP binding in membrane preparations were respectively observed at 1.4 and 5 X 10(-10) M VIP. The peptides structurally related to VIP activated the cyclic AMP generating system at pharmacological doses (10(-7) M and above) in the following order of potency: VIP greater than PHI greater than GRF greater than secretin. Other peptides or test substances, including GIP, pancreatic glucagon, somatostatin-14, gastrin, CCK, neurotensin, pancreatic polypeptide, PYY, substance P, histamine and isoproterenol are inactive in this system, while the ubiquitous adenylate cyclase activators NaF, forskolin and prostaglandins were effective. These results, combined with the appearance of intestinal VIP in nerve fibers at 8 weeks and with the morphological and enzymatic maturation at 9-12 weeks of the intestinal mucosa, indicate that this neuropeptide may regulate either the differentiation or function of enterocytes during the early development of human intestinal mucosa.
