Maximal Stimulation

For cholecystokinin (CCK) and the partial agonist CCK-JMV-180 [Boc-Nle28,31,CCK-(27-32)-2-phenylethyl ester], we examined their abilities to stimulate the accumulation of inositol phosphates (IP), mobilize intracellular calcium, and stimulate enzyme secretion in rat pancreatic acini. CCK-8 caused an increase in [3H]IP2 and [3H]IP3 at 10 s and a slower increase in [3H]IP1. High-pressure liquid chromatography separation demonstrated that at 10 s 100% of the increase of [3H]IP3 was IP3(1,4,5). CCK-JMV-180 caused no increase in [3H]IP3 at 10 s and only 28% of the maximal increase seen with CCK-8 at 15 min. CCK-8 caused an 11-fold increase in calcium outflux, whereas CCK-JMV-180 was only 45% as effective and 3,000 times less potent. CCK-JMV-180 antagonized the CCK-8-stimulated increase in [3H]IP3 and mobilization of intracellular calcium. CCK-8 caused an 81-fold increase at 2.5 s in IP3(1,4,5) measured by a mass radioreceptor assay and half-maximal stimulation occurred at 2 nM, whereas CCK-JMV-180 only caused a 3-fold increase. Analysis of the ability of CCK-8 or CCK-JMV-180 to stimulate enzyme secretion demonstrated that at low concentrations, each peptide stimulates enzyme secretion without causing detectable calcium mobilization, whereas at increasing peptide concentrations calcium mobilization occurs without detectable accumulation of IP3(1,4,5), but at still higher concentrations IP3(1,4,5) accumulation is finally detected. These results demonstrate that peptides that stimulate enzyme secretion by interacting with CCK receptors can cause maximal stimulation with minimal changes in calcium mobilization and maximal changes in calcium mobilization occur with minimal changes in IP3(1,4,5), suggesting marked amplification.

Threefold Increase

In dispersed acini from guinea pig pancreas, natural glucagon caused a two- to threefold increase in amylase secretion, and this natural glucagon-induced increase was augmented by theophylline. Natural glucagon also caused a sixfold increase in cellular cAMP but did not alter cellular cGMP or outflux of 45Ca. Natural glucagon caused detectable changes in cAMP and amylase secretion at a concentration of 1 microM, half-maximal stimulation at 10 microM, and maximal stimulation at 100 microM. Natural glucagon potentiated the increase in enzyme secretion caused by secretagogues that act by causing mobilization of cellular calcium but did not alter the increase in enzyme secretion caused by secretagogues that increase or mimic the action of cellular cAMP. At concentrations up to 100 microM, natural glucagon did not inhibit binding of 125I-vasoactive intestinal peptide. The potency with which glucagon stimulated amylase release and augmented the increase in amylase release caused by cholecystokinin or carbachol was the same with acini from rat or mouse pancreas as it was with acini from guinea pig pancreas. Biologically active synthetic glucagon did not increase enzyme secretion. On reverse-phase, high-pressure liquid chromatography of natural glucagon, the ability to stimulate enzyme secretion migrated differently from the glucagon. Natural glucagon, at concentrations that stimulated cAMP accumulation, did not react with vasoactive intestinal peptide or secretin radioimmunoassays. Neither insulin nor pancreatic polypeptide, which are known to contaminate natural glucagon preparations, increased enzyme secretion from pancreatic acini. Trypsin treatment abolished the ability of natural glucagon to increase enzyme secretion.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The Relationship

We examined the relationships between receptor occupation, calcium mobilization, and stimulated amylase release for cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8) and for CCK-JMV-180, an analogue of the COOH-terminal heptapeptide of CCK having the structure Boc-Tyr(SO3)-Nle-Gly-Trp-Nle-Asp-2-phenylethyl ester using dispersed acini from rat pancreas. CCK-8 and CCK-JMV-180 each bind to two classes of CCK receptors: one class has a high affinity for CCK-8 and CCK-JMV-180 and the other class has a low affinity for CCK-8 and CCK-JMV-180. Mobilization of cellular calcium was assessed by measuring cytosolic calcium with a fluorescent indicator and by measuring outflux of radioactive calcium from preloaded cells. In terms of causing an increase in cytosolic calcium or an increase in calcium outflux, CCK-JMV-180 was 50-60% as efficacious as CCK-8. Analysis of the relationship between receptor occupation and calcium mobilization caused by CCK-8 and CCK-JMV-180 in combination indicates that calcium mobilization is caused by occupation of low-affinity CCK receptors. Comparison of the dose-response curve for calcium mobilization and amylase release stimulated by CCK-8 or CCK-JMV-180 indicates that very low concentrations of each peptide stimulate amylase release without causing detectable calcium mobilization. At these very low concentrations, CCK-8 or CCK-JMV-180 do not cause potentiation of amylase release when combined with vasoactive intestinal peptide.

Clear Dose Response

1. We have measured intracellular calcium concentrations in basal conditions and in response to cholecystokinin-octapeptide and acetylcholine in pancreatic acini isolated from rats with caerulein-induced acute pancreatitis and compared them with those in control rats. 2. We also measured amylase secretion in basal conditions and in response to cholecystokinin-octapeptide in both groups. 3. In pancreatic acini from rats with pancreatitis the basal intracellular calcium concentration was significantly increased (134.9±7.1 nmol/l compared with 71.8 ± 2.9 nmol/l, P < 0.001). Moreover, the maximum values of intracellular calcium attained during the stimulation period were equivalent in acini from control and pancreatitic rats with no statistically significant differences. 4. In acini from control rats the differences between the resting levels of intracellular calcium and the maximum intracellular calcium values (Δ[Ca2+]i) in response to several concentrations of cholecystokinin-octapeptide showed a clear dose—response relationship, with a half-maximal increase at 0.1 nmol/l and a maximal difference (Δ[Ca2+]i = 259 ±50 nmol/l) at 1 nmol/l. In contrast, a right-shifted response, with a statistically significant smaller increase, was observed in acini from pancreatitic rats. 5. Basal amylase release was significantly higher in acini from rats with pancreatitis (11.7 ±1.0% of total compared with 5.9 ±1.1% of total, P < 0.001). In contrast, cholecystokinin-octapeptide and acetylcholine-evoked amylase secretion was reduced by more than 85% in acini from pancreatitic rats. 6. In conclusion, calcium homoeostasis in pancreatic acinar cells from rats with caerulein-induced pancreatitis seems to be impaired. These results suggest excessive release of acinar free ionized calcium, or damage to the integrity of mechanisms that restore low resting levels of intracellular free ionized calcium, and the consequent calcium toxicity could be the key trigger in caerulein-induced acute pancreatitis.

Selective Ligand

Pancreatic acini from most species possess vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) receptors. Recently, two subtypes of VIP receptors, VIP1-R and VIP2-R, were cloned. Which subtype exists on pancreatic acini or mediates secretion is unclear. To address this, we examined pancreatic acini from both rat and guinea pig. VIP1-R and VIP2-R mRNA were identified in dispersed acini from both species by Northern blot analysis and in rat by Southern blot analysis. With the use of the VIP2-R-selective ligand Ro-25-1553 in both species, inhibition of binding of 125I-labeled VIP to acini showed a biphasic pattern with a high-affinity component (10%) and a second representing 90%. The VIP1-R-selective ligand, [Lys15,Arg16,Leu27]VIP-(1—7)-GRF-(8—27), gave a monophasic pattern. Binding of Ro-25-1553 was better fit by a two-site model. In both rat and guinea pig acini, the dose-response curve of Ro-25-1553 for stimulation of enzyme secretion was biphasic, with a high-affinity component of 10–15% of the maximal secretion and a low-affinity component accounting for 85–90%. At low concentrations (10 nM) of Ro-25-1553 and [Lys15,Arg16,Leu27]VIP-(1—7)-GRF(8—27), which only occupy VIP receptors, a 4-fold and a 56-fold increase in cAMP occurred, respectively. These results show that both VIP1-R and VIP2-R subtypes exist on pancreatic acini of rat and guinea pig, their activation stimulates enzyme secretion by a cAMP-mediated mechanism, and the effects of VIP are mediated 90% by activation of VIP1-R and 10% by VIP2-R. Because VIP has a high affinity for both VIP-R subtypes, its effect on pancreatic acini is mediated by two receptor subtypes, which will need to be considered in future studies of the action of VIP in the pancreas.

Gastrin Receptor

Both gastrin and cholecystokinin (CCK) can stimulate pepsinogen release from chief cells, but controversy exists about the receptors or intracellular mediators involved. In the present study, we prepared isolated chief cells from guinea pig stomach (> 90% pure) to investigate the ability of gastrin and CCK to alter cell function. The COOH-terminal octapeptide of CCK (CCK-8) caused an eightfold increase in pepsinogen release (EC50, 54 nM). Both CCK-8 and gastrin increased inositol phosphates, with CCK-8 (1 microM) and gastrin (3 microM) causing a 40- and 14-fold increase in [3H]IP1, 10- and 6-fold for [3H]IP2, and 8- and 4-fold for [3H]IP3. CCK-8 caused a half-maximal increase in [3H]IP3 at 2 nM, and the dose-response curve was monophasic, whereas with gastrin the curve was biphasic, with an EC50 of the initial component (20% maximal) at 38 nM and the second component at 10 microM. L-364,718 (0.1 microM) inhibited the secondary increase seen with gastrin concentrations > 10 nM. The CCK-A-selective agonist A-71378 was 85-90% as efficacious as CCK-8 and was equally potent. With 0.1 microM L-364,718, A-71378 caused no increase in [3H]inositol phosphates until > 10 nM, whereas CCK-8 caused 15% of maximal increase at concentrations > 0.3 nM. Similar results were obtained with cytosolic calcium measured using fura-2 or on CCK-8- or gastrin-stimulated pepsinogen release. These results demonstrate that gastrin and CCK-8 can alter chief cell function by interacting with either a CCK-A or CCK-B/gastrin receptor. Both receptors are coupled to phospholipase C and cause changes in inositol phosphates, cytosolic calcium, and pepsinogen release; however, the intracellular amplification differs between the two receptor subtypes. Activation by CCK-related peptides of the CCK-A receptor subtype accounts for 85-90% of the maximal changes in cellular function, and activation of the CCK-B/gastrin receptor accounts for 10-20% of maximal changes.

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.
