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.

Inhibition both in vivo and in vitro of pepsinogen secretion by somatostatin (SS) and the histological demonstration that fundic D-cells contain long cytoplasmic processes extending to chief cells suggest a possible direct effect of SS on chief cell function. The aim of the present study was to determine whether SS interacts directly with receptors on isolated gastric chief cells and, if so, how SS alters cell function. Binding of 125I-[Tyr11]SS14 to chief cells was saturable, time and temperature dependent, and was inhibited by both SS14 (Ki 1.6 nM) and SS28 (Ki 5.2 nM). SMS-201-995 was 1,300-fold less potent than SS14. Calcium-mobilizing secretagogues reduced binding of 125I-[Tyr11]SS14 with efficacies of cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8) > carbachol > gastrin. Adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP)-activating secretagogues also inhibited binding with efficacies of secretin > vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP). 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) or A-23187 also decreased binding. Analyses demonstrated that CCK-8 and TPA were decreasing the affinity of SS receptors for 125I-[Tyr11]SS14 without affecting their binding capacity. Both SS14 and SS28 at a maximally effective concentration inhibited cAMP production caused by VIP or secretin (20-30%) but did not alter cytosolic calcium ([Ca2+]i), inositol phosphates, or pepsinogen release. We conclude that chief cells possess SS receptors with a high affinity for both SS14 and SS28 but low affinity for SMS-201-995 and thus resemble the SSB receptors described in the rat cerebral cortex. Although occupation of these receptors by SS has no effect on pepsinogen release induced by secretagogues acting through either the calcium or the cAMP pathway, SS receptor occupation is regulated by agents activating phospholipase C, adenylate cyclase, protein kinase C, and [Ca2]i.

Muscarinic cholinergic mechanisms play a key role in stimulating gastric pepsinogen secretion. Studies using antagonists suggested that the M3 receptor subtype (M3R) plays a prominent role in mediating pepsinogen secretion, but in situ hybridization indicated expression of M1 receptor (M1R) in rat chief cells. We used mice that were deficient in either the M1 (M1R−/−) or M3 (M3R−/−) receptor or that lacked both receptors (M1/3R−/−) to determine the role of M1R and M3R in mediating cholinergic agonist-induced pepsinogen secretion. Pepsinogen secretion from murine gastric glands was determined by adapting methods used for rabbit and rat stomach. In wild-type (WT) mice, maximal concentrations of carbachol and CCK caused a 3.0- and 2.5-fold increase in pepsinogen secretion, respectively. Maximal carbachol-induced secretion from M1R−/− mouse gastric glands was decreased by 25%. In contrast, there was only a slight decrease in carbachol potency and no change in efficacy when comparing M3R−/− with WT glands. To explore the possibility that both M1R and M3R are involved in carbachol-mediated pepsinogen secretion, we examined secretion from glands prepared from M1/3R−/− double-knockout mice. Strikingly, carbachol-induced pepsinogen secretion was nearly abolished in glands from M1/3R−/− mice, whereas CCK-induced secretion was not altered. In situ hybridization for murine M1R and M3R mRNA in gastric mucosa from WT mice revealed abundant signals for both receptor subtypes in the cytoplasm of chief cells. These data clearly indicate that, in gastric chief cells, a mixture of M1 and M3 receptors mediates cholinergic stimulation of pepsinogen secretion and that no other muscarinic receptor subtypes are involved in this activity. The development of a murine secretory model facilitates use of transgenic mice to investigate the regulation of pepsinogen secretion.

We have identified a Ca(2+)-dependent polyphosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C activity in Dictyostelium discoideum. Addition of Ca2+ (20 microM) results in the rapid formation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 within 5 s and leads to sustained inositol phosphate production for up to 40 min in membranes prepared from [3H]inositol-labelled cells. The phospholipase C activity is primarily membrane-bound under the conditions used to lyse the cells. In addition to this activity we also identified a family of Ca(2+)-regulated phospholipase activities active on a range of phospholipid substrates, using [3H]palmitate labelling. Inositol-specific phospholipase C activity is highest in vegetatively growing cells and in starved cells during the first 6 h in development, during which time Ca2+ elicited a 5-fold stimulation of inositol phosphate formation. After this time, total activity decreased progressively until 15 h, after which the activity remained constant up until 24 h. During this period, Ca2+ was able to stimulate a 2-fold increase in inositol phosphates.

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.

ABSTRACT We have characterized α1-adrenergic receptor subtypes in functional rat thyroid cells, FRTL, with relation to iodide efflux, and have also examined the effect of TSH on α1 receptor subtypes. FRTL cells grown in a medium containing 5 mU TSH/ml (6H cells) had five times the number of α1 receptors of those maintained in TSH-free medium (5H cells) (11·2 fmol/106 cells compared with 2·0 fmol/106 cells). Pretreatment with chlorethylclonidine (CEC; 10 μmol/l), which inactivates only α1b receptors, caused 98·8% and 97·0% decreases in the density of specific [3H]prazosin-binding sites in 5H and 6H cells respectively. LIGAND computer program analysis of the displacement curves for 2-(2,6-dimethoxyphenoxyethyl)-aminomethyl-1,4 benzodioxane (WB4101) showed that FRTL cells contained mostly low-affinity WB4101 sites. Using the phenoxybenzamine inactivation method, we found a linear relationship between α1 receptor density and the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration response in FRTL cells. Pre-exposure of intact FRTL cells to CEC caused a 98·7% decrease in noradrenaline-stimulated maximal increase in cytosolic free Ca2+. Also, CEC and 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid 8-(diethylamino) octyl ester (TMB-8), but not nicardipine, inhibited noradrenaline-stimulated iodine efflux. The results suggest that FRTL cells contain mostly the α1b-adrenergic receptor subtype; that the α1b receptors mediate cytosolic free Ca2+ and iodide efflux responses, and that TSH enhances these responses by increasing the α1b receptor density without affecting the post-receptor mechanism.

Although ATP, acting through a P2 purinoceptor, can stimulate a pronounced positive inotropic effect in cardiac ventricular myocytes, the receptor-effector mechanism that underlies this stimulatory cardiac action is not well understood. The objectives of the present study were to develop the cultured chick embryo ventricular myocytes as a novel model for the cardiac P2 purinoceptor and to determine the mechanism underlying its positive inotropic effect. ATP caused an 89 ± 8.9% ( n = 14 cells) increase in the myocyte contractility, with an efficacy and potency order of ATP > ADP > AMP ≫ adenosine. 2-Methylthio-ATP (2-MeS-ATP) but not α,β-methylene-ATP was able to stimulate myocyte contractility, with a maximal increase of 54 ± 2.6% ( n = 11 cells). Although UTP potently stimulates phosphoinositide hydrolysis, it had an only modest positive inotropic effect (27 ± 7% maximal increase; n = 8 cells). In contrast to previous suggestions, the 2-MeS-ATP-stimulated positive inotropic response does not require the action of phospholipase C (PLC), such as that of the inositol phosphates; the UTP effect on contractility appears to be mediated via the 2-MeS-ATP-sensitive P2 receptor. The PLC inhibitor U-73122 had no effect on the 2-MeS-ATP-stimulated increase in contractility, providing further evidence against a role for PLC in the inotropic effect of 2-MeS-ATP. An adenosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate-independent Ca2+ entry-stimulating mechanism appears to underlie a direct coupling of the receptor to stimulation of the myocyte contractility. This new PLC- and adenosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate-independent positive inotropic mechanism represents a target for developing novel positive inotropic therapeutics.

Because the presence of the angiotensin II (ANG II)-dependent phosphoinositide hydrolysis has been questioned from studies in proximal cells in culture, we looked for this transduction pathway in suspension of freshly isolated rat proximal tubule fragments. ANG II-receptor activation induced a prompt (within 15 s) and sustained increase in [3H]inositol phosphates (IPs; inositol trisphosphate, inositol bisphosphate, and inositol monophosphate). In fura-2-loaded tubules, it elicited a rapid and biphasic rise in cytosolic free calcium ([Ca2+]i) with an early peak (within 15 s) followed by a plateau. The peak was maintained in the absence of extracellular calcium. ANG II-induced inositol trisphosphate and [Ca2+]i rises showed a similar dose dependency, with a 50% effective concentration (EC50) of 2.9 and 5.5 nM, respectively. We checked that ANG II inhibited basal (EC50 4.4 nM) and parathyroid hormone- and forskolin-stimulated cAMP production, the latter effect being inhibited by pertussis toxin pretreatment. The effects of ANG II on IPs and [Ca2+]i were inhibited by the ANG II receptor subtype 1 (AT1) antagonist losartan and not by the ANG II receptor subtype 2 (AT2) antagonists PD 123177 and PD 123319. The effect of ANG II on forskolin-stimulated cAMP was inhibited by losartan and not by PD 123319. In agreement with these results, specific binding of 125I-[Sar1,Ile8]ANG II was markedly inhibited by losartan, whereas PD 123319 had no effect. These results demonstrate that AT1 receptor subtypes are present in intact rat proximal tubule cells and are coupled to both IPs-Ca2+ and cAMP signaling pathways. No evidence for AT2 receptor subtype is found.

Hepatic metabolism and gene expression are among the factors controlled by the cellular hydration state, which changes within minutes in response to aniso-osmotic environments, cumulative substrate uptake, oxidative stress and under the influence of hormones such as insulin. The signalling events coupling cell-volume changes to altered cell function were studied in H4IIE rat hepatoma cells. Hypo-osmotic cell swelling resulted within 1 min in a tyrosine kinase-mediated activation of the extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases Erk-1 and Erk-2, which was independent of protein kinase C and cytosolic calcium. Activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases was followed by an increased phosphorylation of c-Jun, which may explain our recently reported finding of an about 5-fold increase in c-jun mRNA level in response to cell swelling. Pretreatment of cells with pertussis or cholera toxin abolished the swelling-induced activation of Erk-1 and Erk-2, suggesting the involvement of G-proteins. Thus, a signal-transduction pathway resembling growth factor signalling is activated already by osmotic water shifts across the plasma membrane, thereby providing a new perspective for adaption of cell function to alterations of the environment.

Many receptors for neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, norepinephrine, acetylcholine, and neuropeptides, belong to the superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). A general model posits that GPCRs undergo two-step homologous desensitization: the active receptor is phosphorylated by kinases of the G protein-coupled receptor kinase (GRK) family, whereupon arrestin proteins specifically bind active phosphorylated receptors, shutting down G protein-mediated signaling, facilitating receptor internalization, and initiating distinct signaling pathways via arrestin-based scaffolding. Here, we review the mechanisms of GRK-dependent regulation of neurotransmitter receptors, focusing on the diverse modes of GRK-mediated phosphorylation of receptor subtypes. The immediate signaling consequences of GRK-mediated receptor phosphorylation, such as arrestin recruitment, desensitization, and internalization/resensitization, are equally diverse, depending not only on the receptor subtype but also on phosphorylation by GRKs of select receptor residues. We discuss the signaling outcome as well as the biological and behavioral consequences of the GRK-dependent phosphorylation of neurotransmitter receptors where known.

AbstractExtraocular motoneurons initiate dynamically different eye movements, including saccades, smooth pursuit and vestibulo-ocular reflexes. These motoneurons subdivide into two main types based on the structure of the neuro-muscular interface: motoneurons of singly-innervated (SIF), and motoneurons of multiply-innervated muscle fibers (MIF). SIF motoneurons are thought to provoke strong and brief/fast muscle contractions, whereas MIF motoneurons initiate prolonged, slow contractions. While relevant for adequate functionality, transmitter and ion channel profiles associated with the morpho-physiological differences between these motoneuron types, have not been elucidated so far. This prompted us to investigate the expression of voltage-gated potassium, sodium and calcium ion channels (Kv1.1, Kv3.1b, Nav1.6, Cav3.1–3.3, KCC2), the transmitter profiles of their presynaptic terminals (vGlut1 and 2, GlyT2 and GAD) and transmitter receptors (GluR2/3, NMDAR1, GlyR1α) using immunohistochemical analyses of abducens and trochlear motoneurons and of abducens internuclear neurons (INTs) in macaque monkeys. The main findings were: (1) MIF and SIF motoneurons express unique voltage-gated ion channel profiles, respectively, likely accounting for differences in intrinsic membrane properties. (2) Presynaptic glutamatergic synapses utilize vGlut2, but not vGlut1. (3) Trochlear motoneurons receive GABAergic inputs, abducens neurons receive both GABAergic and glycinergic inputs. (4) Synaptic densities differ between MIF and SIF motoneurons, with MIF motoneurons receiving fewer terminals. (5) Glutamatergic receptor subtypes differ between MIF and SIF motoneurons. While NMDAR1 is intensely expressed in INTs, MIF motoneurons lack this receptor subtype entirely. The obtained cell-type-specific transmitter and conductance profiles illuminate the structural substrates responsible for differential contributions of neurons in the abducens and trochlear nuclei to eye movements.
