To evaluate whether the general trophic effect of gastrin on the oxyntic mucosa is an indirect effect mediated by histamine H2 receptors, sustained 24 hour hypergastrinaemia was induced in Sprague-Dawley rats by treatment with the long acting and potent histamine H2 antagonist loxtidine for five months. The trophic effect was assessed by weight, enumeration of total mucosal cells, parietal cells, and enterochromaffin like cells in smears stained for the actual cells after enzymatic dispersion of the mucosa, and by biochemical analysis of oxyntic mucosal homogenates. The weight of the whole stomach and the oxyntic mucosa increased by 12.7% (p = 0.016) and 27.5% (p = 0.006), respectively. Total oxyntic mucosal protein content increased by 28.7% (p = 0.058). Total numbers of mucosal cells and parietal cells increased by 11.9% (NS) and 24.1% (NS), respectively. The amount of the parietal cell specific enzyme H+,K(+)-ATPase was unchanged. On the other hand, the number of enterochromaffin like cells and related parameters, histidine decarboxylase activity and histamine content of the oxyntic mucosa, showed a pronounced and significant increase. It is concluded that the general trophic effect of gastrin on the oxyntic mucosa is not mediated by the histamine H2 receptor. The tropic effect of gastrin on the parietal cell seems, in contrast with that on the enterochromaffin like cell, not to be specific but only reflecting the general trophic effect on the oxyntic mucosa.

In the present study we compared various CCK(B) receptor antagonists and tried to detect a difference in biological activity between the C-terminal octapeptides of cholecystokinin (CCK-8) and [Leu11]gastrin-(5-17) in isolated rabbit gastric glands. Binding experiments showed that different CCK(B)/gastrin receptor agonists bound with high affinity and that antagonists inhibited this binding in accordance with a CCK(B)/gastrin pharmacological profile. [Leu11]gastrin-(5-17), CCK-8 and cionin were found to induce [14C]aminopyrine accumulation to 25% above the basal level. Under the same experimental conditions, histamine induced a response twice as great as the response obtained with [Leu11]gastrin-(5-17) or CCK-8. [Leu11]gastrin-(5-17) (10(-7) M), CCK-8 (10(-8) M) and cionin (10(-8) M) appeared to be full agonists. CCK(B)/gastrin receptor antagonists including L-365,260 (3R-(+)-N-(2,3-dihydro-1-methyl-2-oxo-5-phenyl-1H-1,4-benzodiazepin++ +-3-yl)-N-(3-methylphenyl) urea), L-364,718 (3S-(-)-N-(2,3-dihydro-1-methyl-2-oxo-5-phenyl-1H-1,4-benzodiazepin++ +-3-yl)-1H-indole-2-carboximide) (a selective CCK(A) receptor antagonist), PD-135,158 (4([2-[[3-(1H-indol-3-yl)-2-methyl-1-oxo-2-[[[1.7.7-trimethyl-bicyclo[2. 2.1]hept-2-yl)oxy]carbonyl]amino]propyl]amino]-1-phenylethyl] amino-4-oxo-[1S-1alpha.2beta[S*(S*)]4alpha]]-butano nate N-methyl-D-glucamine) (bicyclo system 1S-endo), YM-022 ((R)-1-[2,3-dihydro-1-(2'-methylphenacyl)-2-oxo-5-phenyl-1H-1,4-++ +benzodiazepin-3-yl]-3-(3-methylphenyl)urea) and JMV-180 (Boc-Tyr(SO3H)-Nle-Gly-Trp-Nle-Asp-O-CH2-CH2-C6H5) exhibited the same profile for inhibition of [Leu11]gastrin-(5-17) or CCK-8-induced [14C]aminopyrine accumulation in rabbit gastric glands. These results suggested that [Leu11]gastrin-(5-17) and CCK-8 induced [14C]aminopyrine accumulation by the same mechanism. [Leu11]gastrin-(5-17)- or CCK-8-induced [14C]aminopyrine accumulation was inhibited by about 40% by the histamine H2 receptor blocker cimetidine. These results are consistent with there being cooperativity between [Leu11]gastrin-(5-17) (or CCK-8) and histamine in the acid secretory pathway. Similarly, the CCK(B)/gastrin receptor antagonists were tested against histamine-induced [14C]aminopyrine accumulation and surprisingly, only compound L-365,260 appeared active and even more potent than cimetidine.

Three different types of dual histamine H2 and gastrin receptor antagonists, e.g. those bearing a benzazepine, benzoxazepine, or benzothiazepine skeleton instead of the benzodiazepine one as a gastrin receptor antagonistic moiety were synthesized to reduce high hydrophobicity of parent compounds and evaluated for the dual activities. These skeletal modifications significantly potentiated the binding affinity of dual antagonists with histamine H2 receptor but markedly diminished their binding affinity with the gastrin receptor and the gastrin versus CCK-A receptor selectivity. We evaluated in vivo gastric acid antisecretory activities for some representative compounds by the rat pylorus ligation method for 10 mg kg(-1) dose by oral route. However, they exerted only low inhibitory activities for oral dose with % inhibition values ranging between 32 and 53%.

In order to study structure-activity relationships of dual histamine H2 and gastrin receptor antagonists as well as to improve their low oral absorbability, their prototype benzodiazepine gastrin receptor antagonistic moieties were altered to a conformationally flexible noncyclic dipeptide equivalent. This skeletal modification significantly potentiated the binding affinity of hybrid compounds for the histamine H2 receptor, whereas their affinity for the gastrin receptor and receptor selectivity over the CCK-A receptor varied widely with the substituents on the gastrin moiety. Among them, [3-[3-(3-piperidin-1-ylmethylphenoxy)propylcarbamoyl]p ropyl carbamic acid 3-[3-([(3-methoxyphenyl)[(methylphenylcarbamyl)methyl]carbamoyl]me thyl)ureido]benzyl ester (7a) showed the highest dual histamine H2 and gastrin receptor antagonistic activities. It also displayed distinct gastric acid antisecretory activity in vivo for two assays, namely, Schild's rat method by i.d. administration and the rat pylorus ligation method by oral administration. With the latter case, dose-response relationships were observed for the first time, suggesting its substantially improved oral absorbability. However, 7a did not display distinct in vivo gastric acid antisecretory activity for the assay with Heidenhain pouch dogs.

The antigastrinic, antisecretory and antiulcer activities of CR 2945, (R)-1-naphthalenepropanoic acid,beta-[2-[[2-(8-azaspiro[4.5]dec-8-yl-carbonyl)-4,6-dimethylph enyl] amino]-2-oxoethyl], were investigated in vitro and in vivo in rats and cats. Its activities were compared with those of two gastrin/CCK(B) receptor antagonists, L-365,260 (3R(+)-N-(2,3-dihydro-1-methyl-2-oxo-5-phenyl-1H-1,4-benzodiazepin -3-yl)-N'-(3-methylphenyl)urea and CAM-1028 (4-[[2-[[3-(1H-indol-3-yl)-2-methyl-1-oxo-2-[[[1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo [2.2.1]hept-2-yl)oxy]carbonyl]amino]propyl]amino]-1-phenylethyl]amino -4-oxo-[1S-1alpha,2beta[S'(S')4alpha]]-butanoate -N-methyl-D-glucamine), of the histamine H2 receptor antagonist, ranitidine, and the proton pump inhibitor, omeprazole. Cytosolic Ca2+ elevation in rabbit parietal cells induced by gastrin (50 nM) was blocked by CR 2945 with an IC50 value of 5.9 nM. CAM-1028 and L-365,260 showed similar activity. CR 2945 antagonized pentagastrin-stimulated gastric acid secretion in rats (ED50 = 1.3 mg kg(-1) i.v. and 2.7 mg kg(-1) i.d.) and cats (1.6 mg kg(-1) i.v.). CR 2945 was slightly less potent than the reference compounds after i.v. administration, whereas after intraduodenal (i.d.) administration, it was more potent than both ranitidine and omeprazole. In the rat, the gastrin antagonism exhibited by CR 2945 was reversible and competitive, with a pA2 value of 7.33. CR 2945 had specific antigastrin activity, as it was unable to antagonize the gastric acid secretion stimulated by histamine or carbachol in rats up to the dose of 30 mg kg(-1). CR 2945 was about as efficacious as ranitidine against the indomethacin- and ethanol-induced gastric ulcers and the cysteamine-induced duodenal ulcer in rats. On the contrary, L-365,260 was only slightly effective. These results suggest that CR 2945 might be a promising compound for the therapy of acid-related disorders, and that its clinical use could help clarify the therapeutic potential of gastrin/CCK(B) receptor antagonists in the gut.

Gastrin-recognizing CCK2 receptors are expressed in parietal cells and in so-called ECL cells in the acid-producing part of the stomach. ECL cells are endocrine/paracrine cells that produce and store histamine and chromogranin A (CGA)-derived peptides, such as pancreastatin. The ECL cells are the principal cellular transducer of the gastrin-acid signal. Activation of the CCK2 receptor results in mobilization of histamine (and pancreastatin) from the ECL cells with consequent activation of the parietal cell histamine H2 receptor. Thus, release of ECL-cell histamine is a key event in the process of gastrin-stimulated acid secretion. The oxyntic mucosal histidine decarboxylase (HDC) activity and the serum pancreastatin concentration are useful markers for the activity of the gastrin-ECL cell axis. Powerful and selective CCK2 receptor antagonits have been developed from a series of benzodiazepine compounds. These agents are useful tools to study how gastrin controls the ECL cells. Conversely, the close control of ECL cells by gastrin makes the gastrin-ECL cell axis well suited for evaluating the antagonistic potential of CCK2 receptor antagonists with the ECL-cell HDC activity as a notably sensitive and reliable parameter. The CCK2 receptor antagonists YF476, YM022, RP73870, JB93182 and AG041R were found to cause prompt inhibition of ECL-cell histamine and pancreastatin secretion and synthesis. The circulating pancreastatin concentration is raised, was lowered when the action of gastrin on the ECL cells was blocked by the CCK2 receptor antagonists. These effects were associated with inhibition of gastrin-stimulated acid secretion. In addition, sustained receptor blockade was manifested in permanently decreased oxyntic mucosal HDC activity, histamine concentration and HDC mRNA and CGA mRNA concentrations. CCK2 receptor blockade also induced hypergastrinemia, which probably reflects the impaired gastric acid secretion (no acid feedback inhibition of gastrin release). Upon withdrawal of the CCK2 receptor antagonists, their effects on the ECL cells were readily reversible. In conclusion, gastrin mobilizes histamine from the ECL cells, thereby provoking the parietal cells to secrete acid. While CCK2 receptor blockade prevents gastrin from evoking acid secretion, it is without effect on basal and vagally stimulated acid secretion. We conclude that specific and potent CCK2 receptor antagonists represent powerful tools to explore the functional significance of the ECL cells.

The pharmacological profile of N-[3-[2-[N'-(2-methoxyethyl)guanidino]thiazol-4yl]benzyl-ace tamide (FR145715), a novel histamine H2 receptor antagonist, was examined in both in vitro and in vivo models using experimental animals in comparison with ranitidine. In isolated guinea-pig atria, FR145715 antagonized the effect of histamine on heart rate with approximately three times more potent activity than ranitidine. In in vivo experiments, intraduodenal FR145715 dose-dependently inhibited spontaneous gastric acid secretion in rats (Shay's rats), with a ED50 value of 18.4 mg/kg, which was comparable to that of ranitidine (30.5 mg/kg). FR145715 also inhibited histamine-stimulated acid secretion in stomach-perfused anaesthetized rats (Schild's rats), when given intravenously and intraduodenally with ED50 values of 0.59 and 2.72 mg/kg, respectively. Ranitidine displayed more potent activity having respective ED50 values of 0.10 and 0.17 mg/kg. In Heidenhain pouch dogs, intravenous and oral FR145715 dose-dependently inhibited gastrin-stimulated acid secretion with respective ED50 values of 0.12 and 0.32 mg/kg, which were similar to those of ranitidine (0.09 and 0.33 mg/kg). In gastric ulcer models, FR145715 dose-dependently inhibited water immersion restraint stress- and acidified aspirin-induced gastric lesions with ED50 values of 3.2 and 15.1 mg/kg (p.o.), respectively. The comparative compound, ranitidine, also showed beneficial effects on stress-induced gastric ulcers with an ED50 value of 1.5 mg/kg (p.o.). However, it failed to inhibit acidified aspirin-induced gastric ulcers. FR145715 inhibited HCl-induced gastric lesions in rats, while pre-treatment with indomethacin abolished its beneficial effects, suggesting that FR145715 has a so-called cytoprotective effect which is dependent on endogenous prostaglandin production. In addition to its atypical profile as a histamine H2 receptor antagonist, FR145715 exhibited strong anti-microbial activities against strains of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) with a mean minimal inhibitory concentration value of 0.32 microg/ml. Moreover, FR145715 showed no anti-microbial effects on 25 other bacteria examined. In addition, in vivo experiments using gnotobiotic piglets infected with H. pylori, FR145715 (16 mg/kg, t.i.d.) completely eliminated the organism with reduced intensity of inflammation, when treated orally for 10 days. These data demonstrate that FR145715 is a novel histamine H2 receptor antagonist having potent and selective anti-H. pylori activities as well as cytoprotective properties. The present data suggest that FR145715 might be useful for the patients suffering from ulcer relapse, since the drug might be able to eradicate H. pylori in the stomach, which is considered a key factor to cause ulcer recurrence in humans.

To clarify the physiological roles of histamine H2 receptor (H2R), we have generated histamine H2R-deficient mice by gene targeting. Homozygous mutant mice were viable and fertile without apparent abnormalities and, unexpectedly, showed normal basal gastric pH. However, the H2R-deficient mice exhibited a marked hypertrophy with enlarged folds in gastric mucosa and an elevated serum gastrin level. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed increased numbers of parietal and enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells. Despite this hypertrophy, parietal cells in mutant mice were significantly smaller than in wild-type mice and contained enlarged secretory canaliculi with a lower density of microvilli and few typical tubulovesicles in the narrow cytoplasm. Induction of gastric acid secretion by histamine or gastrin was completely abolished in the mutant mice, but carbachol still induced acid secretion. The present study clearly demonstrates that H2R-mediated signal(s) are required for cellular homeostasis of the gastric mucosa and normally formed secretory membranes in parietal cells. Moreover, impaired acid secretion due to the absence of H2R could be overcome by the signals from cholinergic receptors.

Disruption of histamine H2 receptor and gastrin receptor had different effects growth of gastric mucosa: hypertrophy and atrophy, respectively. To clarify the roles of gastrin and histamine H2 receptors in gastric mucosa, mice deficient in both (double-null mice) were generated and analyzed. Double-null mice exhibited atrophy of gastric mucosae, marked hypergastrinemia and higher gastric pH than gastrin receptor-null mice, which were unresponsive even to carbachol. Comparison of gastric mucosae from 10-week-old wild-type, histamine H2 receptor-null, gastrin receptor-null and double-null mice revealed unique roles of these receptors in gastric mucosal homeostasis. While small parietal cells and increases in the number and mucin contents of mucous neck cells were secondary to impaired acid production, the histamine H2 receptor was responsible for chief cell maturation in terms of pepsinogen expression and type III mucin. In double-null and gastrin receptor-null mice, despite gastric mucosal atrophy, surface mucous cells were significantly increased, in contrast to gastrin-null mice. Thus, it is conceivable that gastrin-gene product(s) other than gastrin-17, in the stimulated state, may exert proliferative actions on surface mucous cells independently of the histamine H2 receptor. These findings provide evidence that different G-protein coupled-receptors affect differentiation into different cell lineages derived from common stem cells in gastric mucosa.

The existence of a direct action of acetylcholine and gastrin on muscarinic M3 and cholecystokinin2 (CCK2) receptors on gastric parietal cells has not yet been convincingly established because these stimulated acid secretions are remarkably inhibited by histamine H2 receptor antagonists. In the present study, we investigated the necessity of intracellular cyclic AMP in inducing gastric acid secretion via muscarinic M3 and CCK2 receptors on parietal cells using an isolated mouse stomach preparation. Bethanechol (10-300 microM) produced a marked increase in acid output and this increase was completely blocked by famotidine (10 microM). In the presence of famotidine, bethanechol (1-30 microM) augmented the acid secretory response to dibutyryl AMP (200 microM) in a concentration-dependent manner. The augmentation was blocked by atropine (1 microM), 4-DAMP (0.1 microM), a muscarinic M3-selective antagonist, and by Ca2+ exclusion from the serosal nutrient solution. Pentagastrin (0.3-3 microM) also concentration-dependently stimulated gastric acid secretion, but the effect was completely inhibited by famotidine. In the presence of famotidine, pentagastrin (0.1-0.3 microM) elicited a definite potentiation of the acid secretory response to dibutyryl cyclic AMP (200 microM). This potentiation was inhibited by YM022 (1 microM), a CCK2 receptor antagonist, and by exclusion of Ca2+ from the serosal nutrient solution. The present results suggest that gastric acid secretion via the activation of muscarinic M3 and CCK2 receptors on the parietal cells is induced by activation of the cyclic AMP-dependent secretory pathway.
