We examined the ability of the recently described 3-(benzoylamino)benzodiazepine analogue L365,260 and the 3-(acylamino)benzodiazepine analogue L364,718 to distinguish gastrin from pancreatic cholecystokinin (CCK) receptors. Neither L365,260 nor L364,718 when present alone (1 microM) caused stimulation of amylase release from guinea pig pancreatic acini or caused contraction of smooth muscle cells from guinea pig stomach. Each analogue inhibited CCK-stimulated amylase release, gastrin-17-I-stimulated smooth muscle contraction, binding of 125I-Bolton-Hunter-cholecystokinin octapeptide (125I-BH-CCK-8) to pancreatic CCK receptors, and binding of 125I-gastrin-17-I to gastrin receptors on pancreatic acini. L365,260, (Ki, 7.3 +/- 0.8 nM) was 50-70 times more potent than L364,718 at inhibiting binding of 125I-gastrin to pancreatic acini or gastrin-stimulated smooth muscle contraction. In contrast, L364,718 (Ki, 4 +/- 1 nM) was 145-200 times more potent than L365,260 at inhibiting binding of 125I-BH-CCK-8 to pancreatic acini or CCK-stimulated amylase release. Neither L364,718 nor L365,260 distinguished between high- and low-affinity CCK binding sites. L365,260 and L364,718 did not inhibit binding of radiolabeled vasoactive intestinal peptide, secretin, bombesin, substance P, or N-methylscopolamine to pancreatic acini. These results demonstrate that, in contrast to other gastrin-CCK receptor antagonists described, L365,260 is a selective gastrin receptor antagonist having an 80-fold higher affinity for gastrin than pancreatic CCK receptor, whereas L364,718 has a 125-fold higher affinity for pancreatic CCK receptors. Because of the selectivity of these two antagonists the involvement of CCK and gastrin in various physiological processes can be differentiated even when both receptors occur on the same cell.

We investigated the importance of sulfation of gastrin or cholecystokinin (CCK) on influencing their affinity for gastrin or CCK receptors by comparing the abilities of sulfated gastrin-17 (gastrin-17-II), desulfated gastrin-17 (gastrin-17-I), CCK-8 and desulfated CCK-8 [des(SO3)CCK-8] to interact with CCK or gastrin receptors on guinea pig pancreatic acini. For inhibiting binding of 125I-gastrin to gastrin receptors, gastrin-17-II (Kd 0.08 nM) greater than CCK-8 (Kd 0.4 nM) greater than gastrin-17-I (Kd 1.5 nM) greater than des(SO3)CCK-8 (Kd 28 nM). For inhibiting binding of 125I-Bolton Hunter-labeled CCK-8 to CCK receptors the relative potencies were: CCK-8 much greater than des(SO3)CCK-8 = gastrin-17-II greater than gastrin-17-I. Each peptide interacted with both high and low affinity CCK binding sites. The relative abilities of each peptide to interact with high affinity CCK receptors showed a close correlation with their abilities to cause half-maximal stimulation of enzyme secretion. These results demonstrate that, in contrast to older studies, sulfation of both CCK and gastrin increase their affinities for both gastrin and CCK receptors. Moreover, the gastrin receptor is relatively insensitive to the position of the sulfate moiety, whereas the CCK receptor is extremely sensitive to both the presence and exact position of the sulfate moiety.

Antibodies to a membrane-bound antigen, localized to the canalicular structures of the parietal cell, are found in most sera of patients with chronic atrophic gastritis and pernicious anemia. In the present study immunoglobulins containing parietal cell antibodies were found to inhibit the activity of H+,K+-adenosine triphosphatase (EC 3.6.1.36) in a tubulovesicular membrane preparation from porcine gastric mucosa. The degree of inhibition correlated to the titer of parietal cell antibodies as assessed by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The specificity of the enzymatic inhibition was confirmed by the lack of effect of parietal cell antibodies on membrane-bound esterase. A possible interaction of parietal cell antibodies with gastrin binding at the receptor level was investigated in a radioreceptor assay employing 125I-gastrin 1 and gastric mucosal cell suspension from the guinea pig. No blocking capacity was found with immunoglobulins from patients with pernicious anemia as compared with immunoglobulins from healthy controls. The results thus demonstrate a direct inhibitory effect of parietal cell antibodies on the acid producing H+,K+-adenosine triphosphatase of the parietal cell, but also a lack of interaction with the gastrin receptor, and indicate that in the development of hypo/achylia H+,K+-adenosine triphosphatase autoantibodies could have a major pathogenic role.

Two colorectal (HT29, LoVo) and one gastric (MKN45) human tumour cell lines were examined for their in vitro trophic response to human gastrin-17. MKN45 and HT29 responded by increased 75Se selenomethionine uptake to exogenous gastrin (139 +/- 5.5% and 123 +/- 3% of control values respectively) whereas LoVo showed no significant response to this hormone. When these same cell lines were grown as xenografts in nude mice, similar responses were seen to exogenously administered human gastrin-17 (10 micrograms mouse-1 day-1, subcutaneous injection). MKN45 xenografts showed a greater response to continuously administered gastrin (osmotic mini-pumps, (10 micrograms mouse-1 day-1) when compared to the same dose given via a subcutaneous bolus injection. The hormone-treated xenografts had a two-fold increase in tumour cross-sectional area and growth rate when compared to saline-treated controls. Dose-response studies revealed that 0.4 micrograms gastrin mouse-1 day-1 appeared to be the minimally effective dose. As gastric and colorectal tumour cells show a trophic response to gastrin, antagonists of the gastrin receptor may prevent this effect causing tumour stasis. The gastric tumour cell line, MKN45, is gastrin-responsive and would be an ideal model for screening potent receptor antagonists.

[3H]L-365,260, [(3R-(+)-2,3-dihydro-1-methyl-2-oxo-5-phenyl-1H-1,4- benzodiazepin-3-yl)-N'-(3-methylphenyl)urea], a new potent and selective nonpeptide brain cholecystokinin (CCK-B) and gastrin receptor antagonist, bound saturably and reversibly to guinea pig brain membranes. Scatchard analysis indicated a single class of high affinity (Kd = 2.3 nM) binding sites. The binding of [3H]L-365,260 was stereospecific, because unlabeled L-365,260 (an R-enantiomer) was approximately 100 times more potent than its S-enantiomer in displacing binding. The relative potencies of various CCK/gastrin-related peptides and nonpeptide peripheral CCK-A antagonists in displacing [3H]L-365,260 brain binding correlated with their potencies in displacing the binding of 125I-CCK to brain receptors but not their potencies in displacing the peripherally selective CCK-A ligand [3H]L-364,718 from pancreatic receptors. The regional distribution of [3H]L-365,260 binding in various brain areas correlated with 125I-CCK binding. Specific [3H]L-365,260 binding to guinea pig brain membranes was reduced by omission of NaCl but was not affected by omission of MgCl2 or addition of guanosine 5'-(beta-gamma-imido)triphosphate or various pharmacological agents known to interact with other common peptide and nonpeptide receptor systems. [3H]L-365,260 also bound in a specific manner to guinea pig gastric glands but only negligibly to guinea pig or rat pancreas. The binding of [3H]L-365,260 to gastric glands was inhibited by CCK/gastrin antagonists with potencies similar to those for inhibition of 125I-gastrin binding in this tissue. Collectively, the data indicates that [3H]L-365,260 represents a new potent nonpeptide antagonist radioligand suitable for the study of brain CCK-B and gastrin receptors.

The specific binding of 125I-labeled gastrin-17 was studied in samples of human gastric mucosa, duodenal mucosa, colonic mucosa or pancreatic tissue obtained surgically. With regard to gastric fundic mucosa, the criteria for receptor binding were studied, and saturability, high affinity, tissue specificity and hormone specificity were demonstrated. The dissociation constant for gastric fundic mucosa was 1.6 X 10(-9)M, and the binding capacity was 15 fmol/mg protein. Tissue specificity studies revealed a high degree of gastrin receptor binding in human gastric fundic mucosa, duodenal mucosa and pancreas, whereas antral mucosa and colonic mucosa demonstrated a low degree of binding.

Specific binding of 125I-labeled gastrin-17 in tumor tissues and gastric mucosa of 11 advanced human gastric carcinoma cases were studied by single-point receptor assay, using 400 pM 125I-labeled gastrin-17. Membrane preparations (800-15,000 g fraction) of the tissues were examined in this study. In 4 of the 5 cases of gastric scirrhous carcinoma (Borrmann type IV), the tumor tissues showed a high degree of specific bindings (1.1-18.2 femtomoles per milligram protein), but in 5 of the 6 cases of Borrmann type II or III, no specific bindings were detected. These findings indicate that gastrin receptor is frequently present in human gastric scirrhous carcinoma.

The effectiveness and selectivity of proglumide, a putative cholecystokinin/gastrin receptor antagonist in vitro, were examined on gastric acid and pancreatic secretion in vivo. Gastric secretion was measured in conscious dogs in the basal state and during infusion of pentagastrin, histamine, or bethanechol, alone or in combination with proglumide (300 mg/kg . h). Pancreatic secretion was measured in anesthetized rats in response to cholecystokinin-octapeptide or secretin, alone or in combination with proglumide (100 mg/kg). Proglumide inhibited pentagastrin-stimulated secretion but had no effect on basal, histamine-stimulated, or bethanechol-stimulated gastric acid secretion. Inhibition of pentagastrin-stimulated secretion was of the competitive type. An apparent inhibitory constant was calculated to be 300 mg/kg . h; this dose is capable of eliciting plasma concentrations of approximately 1 mM. This estimate corresponds closely to that derived from measurements in isolated canine parietal cells. Proglumide also inhibited cholecystokinin-stimulated but not secretin-stimulated pancreatic secretion. The lack of effect of proglumide on basal, histamine-stimulated, or bethanechol-stimulated gastric acid secretion implies that background gastrin has no direct or synergistic influence on stimulation by other secretagogues. The selective effect of gastrin receptor antagonists contrasts with the effectiveness of muscarinic and histamine H2-receptor antagonists against secretion induced by all types of stimulants. Accordingly, the antisecretory potential of gastrin receptor antagonists is confined to digestive secretion when the effect of gastrin is optimal. Their potential as antitrophic agents in duodenal ulcer disease, however, has not been explored yet.

The effect of proglumide ((+/-)-4-benzamido-N,N-dipropyl-glutaramic acid), a gastrin and cholecystokinin receptor antagonist, has been studied on the fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and insulin levels in normal and alloxan-diabetic mice. In normal mice, proglumide, administered as a single oral dose or twice daily for five consecutive days, did not produce any alteration in those parameters. Injection of alloxan monohydrate (70 mg kg-1 i.v.) produced a significant decrease in plasma insulin and a significant elevation of FPG levels on the 5th day after its administration as evidence of diabetes mellitus. Proglumide sodium, given as a single acute dose on the 5th day of alloxan injection, or as a twice daily dose for 5 days immediately after alloxan injection, significantly exacerbated the hyperglycaemia and further decreased the plasma insulin levels thus worsening the diabetogenic effect of alloxan. These observations point to a possible involvement of cholecystokinin (CCK) in alloxan-induced diabetes and indicate a need for monitoring the levels of FPG in diabetic patients being treated with a high dose of proglumide or other CCK-antagonists.

The effects of gastrin, proglumide (a gastrin receptor antagonist), and somatostatin on growth of human colon adenocarcinoma cell lines CX1, X56, and HT29 were examined in two experimental models. Nude mice bearing xenografts of colon cancer CX1 or X56 were treated for 14-25 days subcutaneously with saline, pentagastrin (0.5 or 1.0 mg/kg), proglumide (250 or 500 mg/kg), or somatostatin 14 (33, 100, or 300 micrograms/kg) twice daily. Tumor volume, weight, protein, and deoxyribonucleic acid were measured. HT29 cells were grown in vitro and the effects of gastrin 17, proglumide, and somatostatin on growth were evaluated by cell counts or [3H]thymidine incorporation. The larger dose of pentagastrin significantly increased tumor growth in the nude mouse (p less than 0.005) and gastrin induced a biphasic effect on deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis in tissue culture with significant increases of up to 39% (p less than 0.025). Somatostatin alone significantly inhibited tumor growth in two of the cell lines and also inhibited the gastrin-induced growth. Proglumide had no effect by itself but significantly inhibited gastrin-stimulated growth. These findings suggest that growth of some human colon cancers may be hormone-dependent.
