When dispersed acini from guinea pig pancreas are first incubated with carbachol, the subsequent binding of 125I-vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is inhibited during a second incubation. This inhibitory action of carbachol on binding of 125I-VIP depends on time, temperature, and the concentration of carbachol in the first incubation and can be blocked by atropine. First incubating acini with A23187, ethylene glycol-bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA), cholecystokinin octapeptide, bombesin, or 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate does not alter binding of 125I-VIP. Adding EGTA to the first incubation medium abolishes the effect of carbachol on binding of 125I-VIP. In control acini or acini first incubated with carbachol, approximately half of the bound 125I-VIP can be stripped by acetic acid. 125I-VIP interacts with two distinct classes of receptors on pancreatic acini. One has a high affinity for VIP (Kd, 1 nM); the other has a low affinity for VIP (Kd, 2 microM). First incubating acini with carbachol decreases the number but not the affinity of high-affinity VIP receptors with no change in the number or affinity of low-affinity VIP receptors. Pancreatic acini possess two classes of muscarinic cholinergic receptors: one has a high affinity (Kd, 4 microM) and the other has a low affinity (Kd, 698 microM) for carbachol. The dose-response curve for carbachol-induced inhibition of binding of 125I-VIP and that for occupation of low-affinity muscarinic cholinergic receptors by carbachol are similar.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

When guinea pig pancreatic acini are first incubated with the COOH-terminal octapeptide of cholecystokinin (CCK-8), washed, and then reincubated with 125I-[Tyr4]bombesin (125I-[Tyr4]BN) there is a significant decrease in binding of 125I-[Tyr4]BN compared with that observed with pancreatic acini that have been first incubated with no additions. The CCK-8-induced decrease in binding is maximal after 90 min of first incubation is abolished by reducing the temperature of the first incubation from 37 to 4 degrees C or by adding L364,718 to the first incubation and cannot be reproduced by first incubating acini with A23187, 8-bromoadenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (8Br-cAMP), 8-bromoadenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (8Br-cGMP), or 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate. 125I-[Tyr4]BN interacts with a single class of receptors on pancreatic acini, and first incubating acini with CCK-8 decreases the affinity of BN receptors for BN with no change in the maximal binding capacity. CCK-8 does not alter the rate at which bound 125I-[Tyr4]BN dissociates from pancreatic acini; therefore, CCK-8 must alter the rate at which the radiolabeled BN analogue associates with its receptor. Pancreatic acini possess two classes of CCK receptors: one has a high affinity for CCK-8; the other has a low affinity for CCK-8. The dose-response curve for CCK-8-induced inhibition of binding of 125I-[Tyr4]BN appears to to reflect occupation of low-affinity CCK receptors by CCK-8.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Inhibitory coupling of receptors to adenylate cyclase previously has been shown to be relatively sensitive to inactivation by alkylation with N-ethylmaleimide (NEM). Modification of the inhibitory guanine nucleotide regulatory protein, Ni, has been proposed to be responsible for this effect. The effects of NEM on GTP-sensitive binding of carbachol to muscarinic cholinergic receptors has been compared in a cell line (1321N1 human astrocytoma cells) in which these receptors stimulate phosphoinositide breakdown and in a cell line (NG108-15 neuroblastoma X glioma cells) in which activation of these receptors results in inhibition of adenylate cyclase. Pretreatment of membrane preparations from 1321N1 cells with NEM resulted in a concentration-dependent decrease in the extent of pertussis toxin-catalysed [32P]ADP-ribosylation of a 41 000 Da protein previously proposed to be the alpha subunit of Ni. Under conditions where 32P-labelling of Ni in 1321N1 membranes was reduced by NEM by 90%, no effect was observed on the extent of guanine nucleotide-sensitive high-affinity binding of carbachol to muscarinic cholinergic receptors. In contrast, treatment of NG108-15 membranes with NEM under the same conditions resulted in complete loss of high-affinity guanine nucleotide sensitive binding of carbachol. These results illustrate another difference between the muscarinic receptor population of these two cell lines, and support the previous proposal that muscarinic receptors of 1321N1 cells couple to a guanine nucleotide regulatory protein that is not Ni.

Cholinergic receptors for cholecystokinin (CCK) have been identified on neurons of the enteric nervous system, including those of the gallbladder. To determine whether any differences exist in the extent to which CCK action depends on muscarinic cholinergic receptors in the pancreas and gallbladder, 11 dogs with pancreatic and 7 dogs with biliary fistulas were given increasing doses of intravenous CCK-8 (15-250 ng X kg-1 X h-1) or intraduodenal sodium oleate (0.1-9 mmol/h) with and without atropine pretreatment. Pancreatic protein response to CCK-8 was dose dependent, reaching a maximal of 448 +/- 76 mg/15 min at the highest dose. Atropine pretreatment caused nonsignificant reduction in the response to the lowest dose but had no effect on the responses to the other doses, with the response to the highest dose of CCK being 473 +/- 82 mg/15 min. In contrast, gallbladder contraction as measured by bile fistula bilirubin output was very sensitive to inhibition by atropine. Bilirubin responses to 16, 32, 62.5, 125, and 250 ng X kg-1 X h-1 were 14 +/- 5, 18 +/- 5, 28 +/- 5, 36 +/- 6, and 52 +/- 12 mg/h, respectively, without atropine and 0 +/- 0, 6 +/- 2, 7 +/- 2, 18 +/- 4, and 18 +/- 4 mg/h with atropine pretreatment. Similarly, pancreatic responses to sodium oleate infusion were less susceptible to inhibition by atropine than were the gallbladder responses. With respect to pancreatic protein secretion, the response to only the lowest dose of sodium oleate was significantly inhibited by atropine.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
