We have investigated the mechanisms underlying prostaglandin inhibition of histamine-stimulated parietal cell function. Enzyme-dispersed canine parietal cells were enriched by elutriation. The accumulation of the weak base [14C]aminopyrine was used as an index of parietal cell function and cyclic adenosine monophosphate content was measured by radioimmunoassay. Step density gradients of the elutriator-enriched parietal cell fractions indicated that parietal cells accounted for the histamine stimulation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate production and inhibition by the prostaglandin E analogue Enprostil. Pertussis toxin adenosine diphosphate-ribosylates a subunit with a molecular weight of 41,000, thereby inactivating the inhibitory guanine nucleotide-binding protein of adenylate cyclase. Pertussis toxin treatment of parietal cells in overnight suspension culture was used to determine if inhibitory guanosine triphosphate-binding protein mediated prostanoid inhibition. In control cultured cells, prostaglandin E2 and Enprostil markedly inhibited forskolin- and histamine-stimulated aminopyrine accumulation. In parietal cells treated with pertussis toxin (300 ng/ml) for 18 h, stimulation of parietal cell function by histamine, isobutylmethylxanthine, and forskolin was unaltered compared with control cells, whereas prostaglandin E2 and Enprostil inhibition was markedly reduced. In pertussis toxin-treated cells, histamine-stimulated cyclic adenosine monophosphate generation was unaltered, whereas Enprostil inhibition of histamine-stimulated cyclic adenosine monophosphate production was markedly reduced. Pertussis toxin treatment of membranes from control, but not from pertussis toxin-treated, cells induced the [32P]adenosine diphosphate-ribosylation of a membrane protein with a molecular weight of 41,000, presumably the alpha-subunit of inhibitory guanosine triphosphate-binding protein. We conclude that prostanoids inhibit parietal cell function by receptor-mediated interaction with the inhibitory guanine nucleotide-binding protein of adenylate cyclase.

Evidence in vivo indicates that endogenous and exogenous prostaglandins can alter gastrin secretion. We have used primary cultures containing canine antral G-cells to study the cellular actions of prostaglandins on gastrin secretion, comparing the effects of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and its synthetic analogue enprostil. Enprostil (10(-10)-10(-6) M) inhibited gastrin secretion in response to bombesin, carbachol, and forskolin, the latter a receptor-independent activator of adenylate cyclase. This inhibition by enprostil was reversed by treatment with pertussis toxin (200 ng/ml, 8 h). However, enprostil did not inhibit the postreceptor stimuli 8-bromoadenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (10(-3) M), calcium ionophore A-23187 (10(-7) M), or 4 beta-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (10(-8) M). In contrast, whereas PGE2 inhibited forskolin-stimulated gastrin release, PGE2 did not inhibit the response to carbachol or bombesin in control cultures. However, in pertussis toxin-treated cultures, PGE2 inhibition was reversed and, in contrast, the responses to bombesin, carbachol, and possibly forskolin were augmented. Indomethacin at a dose of 10(-5) M did not alter basal or bombesin-stimulated gastrin secretion. However, the somatostatin antibody CURE-S6 enhanced the response to forskolin and enhanced inhibition by PGE2, suggesting that endogenous somatostatin produced an inhibitory tone in these cultures and excluding the possibility that PGE2 acted via release of endogenous somatostatin. Our data suggest that in cultured antral cells gastrin release is regulated by inhibitory and stimulatory prostaglandin mechanisms.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
