To clarify the possible role of a guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein) in the signal transducing system activated by cholecystokinin (CCK), actions of CCK on rat pancreatic acini were compared with those of fluoride, a well-known activator of stimulatory (Gs) or inhibitory (Gi) G protein. When acini were incubated with increasing concentrations of either CCK-octapeptide (CCK8) or NaF, a maximal stimulation of amylase release from acini occurred at 100 pM CCK8 or 10 mM NaF, respectively; this secretory rate decreased as CCK8 or NaF concentration was increased. NaF caused an increased in cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration from the internal Ca2+ store and stimulated accumulation of inositol phosphates in acini, as observed with CCK. However, NaF-stimulated Ca2+ mobilization had a lag period before detectable stimulation and was potentiated by AlCl3. These stimulatory effects of NaF appeared to be independent of cellular adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP). Pretreatment with cholera toxin or pertussis toxin did not affect CCK8- or NaF-induced inositol phosphate accumulation or Ca2+ mobilization. 5'-Guanylimidodiphosphate activated the generation of inositol phosphates in the [3H]inositol-labeled pancreatic acinar cell membrane preparation, with half-maximal and maximal stimulation at 1 and 10 microM, respectively. Furthermore, the effects of submaximal CCK concentrations on inositol phosphate accumulation in membranes were markedly potentiated in the presence of 100 microM GTP, which alone was ineffective. Combined findings of the present study strongly suggest that pancreatic CCK receptors are probably coupled to the activation of polyphosphoinositide (PI) breakdown by a G protein, which appears to be fluoride sensitive but is other than Gs- or Gi-like protein.

Heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G-proteins) can be categorized into molecularly divergent groups by their differential sensitivity to pertussis toxin. Receptors specifically use either pertussis toxin-sensitive or-insensitive G-proteins to couple to specific effectors. Receptor stimulation of phospholipase C, however, is pertussis toxin sensitive in some systems and pertussis toxin insensitive in others. We studied the coupling of receptors to phospholipase C by expressing receptors from both systems into a single cell, the Xenopus oocyte. [Arg8]Vassopressin (AVP) receptors from liver and cholecystokinin-8(sulfated) (CCK) receptors from brain were expressed in oocytes by intracellular injection of RNA. Both receptors stimulated a Ca2+-dependent Cl- current which can also be evoked by intracellular injection of inositol 1,4,5-tris-phosphate. Hence, receptor stimulation of phospholipase C was measured as the evoked Ca2+-dependent Cl- current. The liver AVP receptor, which is known to stimulate phospholipase C in a pertussis toxin-insensitive manner (Lynch, C. J., Prpic, V., Blackmore, P. F., and Exton, J. H. (1986) Mol. Pharmacol. 29, 196-203), was found to stimulate phospholipase C through a pertussis toxin-sensitive pathway in the Xenopus oocyte. The CCK receptor from brain stimulated phospholipase C through a pertussis toxin-insensitive pathway. Both AVP and CCK stimulation of phospholipase C were attenuated by the intracellular injection of excess G-protein beta gamma subunits. Neither pertussis toxin treatment nor intracellular injection of beta gamma subunits affected any steps subsequent to inositol 1,4,5-tris-phosphate production. From these data we conclude that both the pertussis toxin-sensitive and -insensitive pathways for receptor coupling to phospholipase C are transduced by heterotrimeric G-proteins. We also find that there is a lack of coupling fidelity of receptors to G-proteins in stimulation of phospholipase C which can be influenced by the membrane environment.

In this study we examine the mechanism by which somatostatin (SRIF-14) inhibits cholecystokinin octapeptide- (CCK-8) but not substance P-mediated release of [3H]acetylcholine (ACh) from the guinea pig ileum. 2',5'-Dideoxyadenosine, an inhibitor of adenylate cyclase, antagonized the action of CCK-8 and forskolin but had no effect on substance-P-evoked release of [3H]ACh. Addition of theophylline enhanced the release of [3H]ACh stimulated by CCK-8 but not by substance P. These observations suggest that CCK-8, but not substance P, can stimulate cholinergic transmission via an adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent pathway. Somatostatin inhibited release of [3H]ACh evoked by CCK-8 and forskolin in a dose-related manner. CCK-8- and forskolin- but not substance P-evoked release of [3H]ACh were maximally inhibited in the presence of 10(-6) M somatostatin (49 +/- 5 and 48 +/- 7% of control, respectively). Pretreatment with pertussis toxin (inactivates inhibitory guanine nucleotide binding proteins) reversed the inhibitory effect of somatostatin on the release of [3H]ACh evoked by CCK-8. These observations suggest that CCK-8 but not substance P can stimulate [3H]ACh by a cAMP-dependent pathway. Somatostatin appears to inhibit the cAMP-dependent component of CCK-8-mediated cholinergic transmission via activation of a pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein.

We have recently shown that F- can mimic the actions of cholecystokinin (CCK) on amylase release, Ca2+ mobilization and inositol phosphate generation in pancreatic acinar cells. We have concluded, therefore, that pancreatic CCK receptors may be coupled to the activation of polyphosphoinositide hydrolysis by a guanine nucleotide regulatory protein (N protein), which seems to be sensitive to F-. In the present study, in order to further characterize this N protein coupled to pancreatic CCK receptors, we have examined the effects of bacterial toxins, pertussis toxin (PT) and cholera toxin (CT) on both CCK- and NaF-induced cellular responses in isolated rat pancreatic acini. Neither PT or CT pretreatment of acini affected both CCK- and NaF-stimulated increases in intracellular Ca2+ concentration monitored by quin2. Furthermore, pretreatments of acini with PT and CT didn't alter the effects of CCK on inositol phosphate generation in acini. Similarly, NaF-induced inositol phosphate generation was not changed by these toxin treatments. However, pretreatment procedures employed in this study were considered to catalyze complete ADP-ribosylation of alpha-subunit of the stimulatory (Ns) and inhibitory (Ni) N protein. These results, therefore, strongly suggest that a N protein coupling pancreatic CCK receptors to the breakdown of polyphosphoinositide may be distinct from Ns or Ni like protein.

The involvement of guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-binding proteins in the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipase C in isolated, permeabilized acinar cells of rat pancreas was studied. Stimulation of phospholipase C (PLC) by agonists such as cholecystokinin (CCK), carbachol (Cch) or GTP-gamma-S, a weakly hydrolysable GTP-analog, induced production of inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) by hydrolysis of its precursor phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2). Preincubation of permeabilized cells with activated cholera toxin (CT) inhibited cholecystokinin-octapeptide (CCK-OP) and GTP-gamma-S--but not Cch-induced production of IP3. Pertussis toxin had no effect on PLC activity. Neither cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) nor hormones which activate adenylyl cyclase, inhibited activation of PLC. This indicates that the inhibitory effect of CT is not mediated by stimulation of adenylyl cyclase activity. In isolated plasma membranes of pancreatic acinar cells a 40 kDa protein was adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribosylated by CT, which was inhibited by CCK-OP but not by Cch. A 40 kDa protein was also labelled by the photosensitive affinity marker GTP [alpha 32P]-gamma-azidoanilide. Binding of this GTP-analog was enhanced by CCK-OP but not by Cch. It is concluded that CCK- and muscarinic acetylcholine-receptors are functionally coupled by two different G-proteins to phospholipase C. IP3, which is produced by activation of phospholipase C leads to release of Ca2+ from a nonmitochondrial Ca2+ pool, which is likely the endoplasmatic reticulum (ER). Reuptake of Ca2+ by Ca2+ pumps into ER compartments was studied in isolated permeabilized pancreas- and parotid cells as well as in isolated ER vesicles.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Calf serum induced the phospholipase C-mediated hydrolysis of phosphoinositides in normal rat kidney (NRK) cells transformed by a temperature-sensitive Kirsten murine sarcoma virus (tsK-NRK cells). Various growth factors known to induce the phospholipase C reactions in other cell types, such as platelet-derived growth factor, fibroblast growth factor, epidermal growth factor, thrombin, vasopressin, bombesin, cholecystokinin, and prostaglandin F2 alpha, did not induce phospholipase C reactions in the transformed NRK cells. Furthermore, noradrenaline, histamine, dopamine, angiotensin II, carbachol, and tumor growth factor-beta did not induce phospholipase C reactions. However, serotonin did induce phospholipase C reactions. The amount of serotonin contained in the calf serum was sufficient to support 50% of the activity promoted by the serum itself, and calf serum-induced phospholipase C reactions were inhibited to 10-20% of the original level by ketanserin and methysergide, known to be antagonists for the serotonin receptors. Dialysis almost completely removed serotonin from calf serum and reduced the serum-induced phospholipase C reactions. Moreover, the phospholipase C reactions induced by calf serum and serotonin were inhibited by pretreatment of the cells with pertussis toxin or 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate. These results indicate that serotonin is one of the major serum factors inducing phospholipase C-mediated hydrolysis of phosphoinositides in transformed NRK cells. Serotonin induced phospholipase C reactions not only in tsK-NRK cells but also in nontransformed NRK cells. However, serotonin did not induce these reactions in Swiss 3T3 cells or NIH 3T3 cells.

Development of an enriched cultured cell system allowed us to investigate the mechanism of cholinergic inhibition of somatostatin release stimulated by adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) and Ca2+-protein kinase C-dependent pathways of cell activation. After a 24-h culture on rat tail collagen, D-cells, quantified by immunohistochemistry, were 18-fold enriched compared with unelutriated dispersed cells. Somatostatin release from cultured cells was expressed as a percent of the somatostatin released by a specific stimulus in control cells. Under basal conditions release of somatostatin was 2.3 +/- 0.6% of the total cell content. Epinephrine (1 microM) and cholecystokinin octapeptide (10 nM) increased somatostatin release to 6.98 +/- 1.25 and 10.72 +/- 1.64%, respectively. Carbachol (1 microM) completely inhibited somatostatin release stimulated by epinephrine and reduced cholecystokinin octapeptide-stimulated release to 75% of control levels. Carbachol inhibition of the response to both epinephrine and cholecystokinin octapeptide was totally prevented by 5 h of treatment of the cells with pertussis toxin (300 ng/ml). Somatostatin release in response to the diterpene forskolin (10 microM), dibutyryl cAMP (300 microM), the phorbol ester beta-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (0.1 microM), and the calcium ionophore A23187 (1 microM) was also inhibited by carbachol and prevented by pertussis toxin pretreatment. The ADP-ribosylase inhibitor isonicotinamide (1 mM) selectively blocked the effect of pertussis toxin without altering other stimulatory or inhibitory responses. These data are consistent with the view that carbachol inhibits somatostatin release at guanyl nucleotide-binding protein and/or another pertussis toxin-sensitive site.

Using the non-denaturing detergent 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-2-hydroxy-1-propane sulfonate (Chaps), cholecystokinin (CCK) receptors were solubilized from rat pancreatic membranes as a reversible complex with the CCK 31-39 nonapeptide 125I-labelled by the Bolton and Hunter reagent. Bound ligand dissociation from this soluble complex was similar to that from the membranous receptors of origin and the marked increase in the rate of dissociation induced by GTP was preserved in the soluble state, indicating that the solubilized CCK receptors remained functionally coupled with the guanine nucleotide regulatory site modulating the affinity for CCK. In fact, two guanine nucleotide regulatory proteins, Ns and Ni, coexisted in the soluble complex as established by identifying the 42-kDa subunit of Ns and the 40-kDa subunit of Ni, after ADP-ribosylation by cholera toxin and Bordetella pertussis toxin, respectively.

We have studied the involvement of GTP-binding proteins in the stimulation of phospholipase C from rat pancreatic acinar cells. Pretreatment of permeabilized cells with activated cholera toxin inhibited both cholecystokinin-octapeptide (CCK-OP) and GTP gamma S but not carbachol (CCh)-induced production of inositol trisphosphate. Pertussis toxin had no effect. Neither vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, a stimulator of adenylyl cyclase, nor the cAMP-analogue, 8-bromo cAMP, mimicked the inhibitory effect of cholera toxin on agonist-induced phospholipase C activation. This indicates that inhibition by cholera toxin could not be attributed to a direct interaction of cholera toxin activated Gs with phospholipase C or to an elevation of cAMP. In isolated rat pancreatic plasma membranes cholera toxin ADP-ribosylated a 40 kDa protein, which was inhibited by CCK-OP but not by CCh. We conclude from these data that both CCK- and muscarinic acetylcholine receptors functionally couple to phospholipase C by two different GTP-binding proteins.

Dispersed rat pancreatic acini were used to determine the effect of galanin on the exocrine pancreas and on basal and secretagogue-stimulated amylase secretion. Basal amylase secretion and amylase release stimulated by cholecystokinin octapeptide, bombesin, 12-o-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA), secretin, and vasoactive intestinal peptide were not affected by galanin in doses ranging from 10(-12) to 10(-6) M. Galanin, however, significantly inhibited the amylase release stimulated by sub- and supramaximal doses of carbachol. A time course study showed that the inhibition by galanin occurred during the sustained phase of carbachol-stimulated amylase secretion. The inhibitory action of galanin disappeared in acini obtained from animals pretreated with pertussis toxin (PTX). These results suggest that galanin inhibits carbachol-stimulated amylase secretion through a mechanism related to a PTX-sensitive G protein.
