Lasp-1 (LIM and SH3 domain protein 1) is a multidomain actin-binding protein that is differentially expressed within epithelial tissues and brain. In the gastric mucosa, Lasp-1 is highly expressed in the HCl-secreting parietal cell, where it is prominently localized within the F-actin-rich subcellular regions. Histamine-induced elevation of parietal cell [cAMP]i increases Lasp-1 phosphorylation, which is correlated with activation of HCl secretion. To determine whether Lasp-1 is involved in the regulation of HCl secretion in vivo, we generated a murine model with a targeted disruption of the Lasp-1 gene. Lasp-1-null mice had slightly lower body weights but developed normally and had no overt phenotypic abnormalities. Basal HCl secretion was unaffected by loss of Lasp-1, but histamine stimulation induced a more robust acid secretory response in Lasp-1-null mice compared with wild-type littermates. A similar effect of histamine was observed in isolated gastric glands on the basis of measurements of accumulation of the weak base [14C]aminopyrine. In addition, inhibition of the acid secretory response to histamine by H2 receptor blockade with ranitidine proceeded more slowly in glands from Lasp-1-null mice. These findings support the conclusion that Lasp-1 is involved in the regulation of parietal HCl secretion. We speculate that cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of Lasp-1 alters interactions with F-actin and/or endocytic proteins that interact with Lasp-1, thereby regulating the trafficking/activation of the H+, K+-ATPase (proton pump).

HCl secretion across the parietal cell apical secretory membrane involves the H+-K+-ATPase, the ClC-2 Cl− channel, and a K+ channel. In the present study, the cellular and subcellular distribution of ClC-2 mRNA and protein was determined in the rabbit gastric mucosa and in isolated gastric glands. ClC-2 mRNA was localized to parietal cells by in situ hybridization and by direct in situ RT-PCR. By immunoperoxidase microscopy, ClC-2 protein was concentrated in parietal cells. Immunofluorescent confocal microscopy suggested that the ClC-2 was localized to the secretory canalicular membrane of stimulated parietal cells and to intracellular structures of resting parietal cells. Immunogold electron microscopy confirmed that ClC-2 is in the secretory canalicular membrane of stimulated cells and in tubulovesicles of resting parietal cells. These findings, together with previous functional characterization of the native and recombinant channel, strongly indicate that ClC-2 is the Cl− channel, which together with the H+-K+-ATPase and a K+ channel, results in HCl secretion across the parietal cell secretory membrane.

Acid secretion by the gastric parietal cell is controlled through movement of vesicles containing the proton pump, the H+-K+-ATPase (HK). We have used latrunculin B (Lat B), which binds to monomeric actin, to investigate actin turnover in the stimulated parietal cell. In isolated gastric glands, relatively high concentrations of Lat B were required to inhibit acid accumulation (ED50∼70 μM). Cultured parietal cells stimulated in the presence of low Lat B (0.1–1 μM) have reduced lamellipodia formation and some aberrant punctate phalloidin-stained structures, but translocation of HK and vacuolar swelling appeared unaffected. High Lat B (10–50 μM) resulted in gross changes in actin organization (punctate phalloidin-stained structures throughout the cell and nucleus) and reduced translocation of HK and vacuolar swelling. Resting parietal cells treated with high Lat B showed minor effects on morphology and F-actin staining. If resting cells treated with high Lat B were washed immediately before stimulation, they exhibited a normal stimulated morphology. These data suggest distinct pools of parietal cell actin: a pool highly susceptible to Lat B primarily involved in motile function of cultured cells; and a Lat B-resistant pool, most likely microvillar filaments, that is essential for secretion. Furthermore, the stimulation process appears to accentuate the effects of Lat B, most likely through Lat B binding to monomer actin liberated by the turnover of the motile actin filament pool.

The action of somatostatin in vitro was characterized using glands and parietal cells isolated from rabbit gastric mucosa. In the presence of the reducing agent dithiothreitol, somatostatin was found to inhibit gastrin- and histamine-stimulated acid formation in glands as measured by [14C]aminopyrine (AP) accumulation and oxygen consumption, both measurements that appear to be reliable indexes of parietal cell acid formation. In glands the inhibition of the secretory response to gastrin was more potent (60-80%) than that to histamine (15-25%). The kinetics of somatostatin inhibition of responses to both agents were noncompetitive. The apparent IC50 for the partial somatostatin inhibition of histamine-stimulated AP accumulation was similar to that for gastrin (approx 3 X 10(-9) M) when maximum concentrations of histamine (10(-4) M) or gastrin (10(-7) M) were used. The inhibitory action of somatostatin appeared to be specific, inasmuch as this peptide had no significant effect on basal secretion or secretion stimulated by carbachol, dibutyryl cAMP, cholera toxin, or elevated extracellular K+. In purified parietal cell preparations, somatostatin inhibited histamine- but not gastrin-stimulated AP accumulation. Moreover, the inhibition of histamine-stimulated AP accumulation in parietal cells was more pronounced than in glands. These results suggest that somatostatin acts directly on parietal cells to inhibit histamine activation of H+ secretion. Somatostatin also acts indirectly to inhibit gastrin, perhaps by blocking the release of histamine from paracrine- or endocrinelike cells present in the glands.

Although activation of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate by histamine and of Ca2+-dependent signaling pathways by cholinergic agonists is a generally recognized mechanism for increasing parietal cell HCl secretion, the role of protein kinase C (PKC) in this process is controversial. In this study, acid-secretory responses of gastric glands from rabbits [measured as accumulation of aminopyrine (AP)] were found to be relatively resistant to the PKC inhibitors calphostin C, chelerythrine chloride, staurosporine, and the bisindolylmaleimide-like inhibitors Ro 31-8220, Go 6976, and bisindolylmaleimide I hydrochloride. Western analyses of the PKC isozyme profile in highly enriched parietal cells (98% purity) indicated that this cell type expresses abundant levels of the novel isoforms PKC-epsilon and PKC-mu and abundant levels of the atypical isoforms PKC-iota, PKC-lambda, and PKC-zeta. In contrast, there appeared to be low to undetectable expression of the classical isoforms PKC-alpha and PKC-beta1/beta2, respectively. Relatively high concentrations of Ro 31-8220 potentiated both carbachol- and histamine-stimulated AP accumulation (IC50 857 +/- 100 and 910 +/- 98 nM, respectively). There was a similar dose dependence for Ro 31-8220 inhibition of in situ phosphorylation of a parietal cell phosphoprotein, pp66 (IC50 750 +/- 120 nM). Similar concentrations of Ro 31-8220 also inhibited phosphorylation of the cytoskeletal, actin membrane cross-linking phosphoprotein ezrin, but not other phosphoproteins. Ezrin phosphorylation was increased by carbachol and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA). Because carbachol and TPA stimulate pp66 phosphorylation in a Ca2+-independent manner, our results suggest that one or more novel PKC isoforms may be involved in negative regulation of HCl secretion. In related experiments, PKC-epsilon, but not PKC-mu, was immunolocalized by confocal microscopy to a parietal cell compartment that bore a striking resemblance to that containing filamentous actin. Moreover, pp66 was enriched in a Triton X-100-insoluble parietal cell fraction, suggesting a potential cytoskeletal localization for this unknown protein. Given their location and sensitivity to Ro 31-8220, it is possible that pp66 and ezrin interact in a PKC-dependent manner to regulate the well-known morphological changes that occur in concert with agonist-dependent activation of parietal cell HCl secretion.

We used the microphysiometer, a sensitive extracellular pH sensor, to resolve luminal (or apical) H+ secretion and basolateral release of OH- as well as liberation of acidic metabolites in rabbit gastric glands. Stimulation of glands via the adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate pathway produced a biphasic change in the extracellular acidification rate (EAR): after an initial transient decrease below the unstimulated baseline (-40.9 +/- 3.4%), the EAR increased to a steady-state maximal plateau (+98.1 +/- 5.3%) within 30 min (n = 37). We interpret the biphasic EAR profile as an initial excess of basolaterally released OH- followed by delayed luminal efflux of simultaneously produced H+. The elevated EAR at steady state reflected liberation of metabolic acid attributed to H(+)-K(+)-ATPase enzymatic activity. The presence of H2-4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid prevented OH- release and reduced steady-state EAR. Basolateral OH- release and steady-state EAR were also inhibited by the H(+)-K(+)-ATPase inactivators omeprazole and SCH-28080. Inhibition of Na+/H+ exchange did not reduce steady-state EAR and did not affect apical H+ production, as judged by the accumulation of the weak base aminopyrine. Sodium thiocyanate (1 mM), which short circuits intraluminal H+ accumulation, blocked OH- release, demonstrating its dependence on H(+)-OH- separation at the apical membrane. A computerized model was developed to illustrate how the observed biphasic EAR profile would result from a delayed luminal efflux of H+ due to transitory intraluminal compartmentalization.

Isolated gastric glands from rabbits and parietal cells from dogs have recently become useful in studying the control and enzymatic mechanisms of gastric H+ secretion. The present studies were performed to determine the experimental variables that account for widely differing aminopyrine accumulation reported in various publications. We found that two principle factors were responsible for wide differences in aminopyrine accumulation. First, we found that commercially available aminopyrine contained an unidentified impurity that increased with storage. A procedure for purification is included. The contaminant is not accumulated in secreting gastric glands and thereby reduces the aminopyrine ratio that can be achieved. Mixing of glands appeared to be the second important variable. It was found that incubation in 1.5-ml capped conical polypropylene centrifuge tubes in the horizontal position with shaking in the long axis of the tubes gave aminopyrine ratios that were more than double the results obtained by other mixing techniques. In addition a gland density of 1--2 mg dry wt/ml glands and a mixing rate of 110 cycles/min gave the best results. Calculations indicate that, at high gland densities, even modest amounts of impurity in the aminopyrine will significantly reduce aminopyrine ratios. With optimal conditions our greatest aminopyrine ratio was 1,050, which suggests an H+ concentration of approximately 67 mM in the canaliculi and tubulovesicular membrane system of the parietal cell. Such a level of function approaches that of the intact in vivo organ.

The dependence of acid formation, as measured by aminopyrine (AP) accumulation, on medium and intracellular Cl- was investigated in resting (10(-4) M cimetidine) and stimulated (10(-3) M dibutyryl cAMP) gastric glands isolated from the rabbit stomach. Intracellular Cl- concentrations (Cli-) were measured by the steady-state distribution of 36Cl-. In Cl- -free conditions AP accumulation was absent. Medium Cl- induced AP accumulation (AP ratio = 125) in stimulated glands with a K0.5 of 10.4 +/- 1.1 mM, equivalent to 18.0 +/- 1.2 mM Cli-, and had a small effect on resting glands (AP ratio = 6). With normal Nai+ and Ki+ maintained, similar results were obtained in stimulated glands treated with 10(-5) M amphotericin (ampho) and 10(-4) M ouabain (ouab), where the basal-lateral membrane was confirmed to be short-circuited with respect to Cl- pathways, i.e., medium Cl- and Cli- were equal. The K0.5 for Cl-i was 17.5 +/- 2.5 mM. In resting glands treated with ampho and ouab, AP accumulation increased linearly (no saturation was observed) with increasing Cl- (AP ratio = 35). These results suggest that stimulation activates a Cl- component in the secretory membrane and not in the basal-lateral membrane of the parietal cell. The K+ requirement of AP accumulation at a physiological Cl-i of 60 mM was also investigated in ampho- and ouab-treated glands. On stimulation the K0.5 for Ki+ decreased from 19.5 to 12 mM, coupled with a large increase in AP accumulation, indicating that stimulation also activates a K+ component in the secretory membrane.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The objective of this work is to establish a procedure to study the stimulation-dependent membrane redistribution and properties of H+-K+-ATPase in an in vitro model system, rabbit isolated gastric glands. Stimulated (10(-4) M histamine plus 10(-5) M forskolin) and resting (10(-4) M metiamide) glands were homogenized and fractionated into PO (40 g, 5 min), P1 (400 g, 10 min), P2 (14,500 g, 10 min), P3 (48,200 g, 90 min), and supernatant, S3. Significant changes occurred in the distribution of our marker for H+-K+-ATPase (K+-p-nitrophenyl phosphatase) activity: a reduction in activity of P3 and a compensatory increment in P1. P3 showed valinomycin (Val)-dependent vesicular H+ uptake, while H+ uptake in P1 was Val independent. Direct measurements of ATPase revealed that H+-K+-ATPase activity of P3 was Val dependent and decreased by stimulation; H+-K+-ATPase activity of P1 was Val independent and increased by stimulation. Further density gradient purification of P1 showed that membranes lighter than 17% Ficoll contained higher specific H+-K+-ATPase activity, and the observed increase in H+-K+-ATPase associated with stimulation was more pronounced. Also, the lighter fractions from stimulated P1 had much latent H+-K+-ATPase activity that was unmasked by n-octylglucoside. The properties of membrane fractions from isolated glands were consistent with results obtained in vivo: high H+-K+-ATPase activity of P3 from resting glands corresponds to cytoplasmic tubulovesicles lacking KCl transport pathways; high activity of P1 from stimulated glands corresponds to apical plasma membrane vesicles containing KCl transport in addition to the H+-K+-ATPase, and full competency for the generation of HCl.

Secretory compartments of neurons, endocrine cells, and exocrine glands are acidic and contain high levels of labile Zn2+. Previously, we reported evidence that acidity is regulated, in part, by the content of Zn2+ in the secretory [i.e., tubulovesicle (TV)] compartment of the acid-secreting gastric parietal cell. Here we report studies focusing on the mechanisms of Zn2+ transport by the TV compartment in the mammalian (rabbit) gastric parietal cell. Uptake of Zn2+ by isolated TV structures was monitored with a novel application of the fluorescent Zn2+ reporter N-(6-methoxy-8-quinolyl)- para-toluenesulfonamide (TSQ). Uptake was suppressed by removal of external ATP or blockade of H+-K+-ATPase that mediates luminal acid secretion. Uptake was diminished with dissipation of the proton gradient across the TV membrane, suggesting Zn2+/H+ antiport as the connection between Zn2+ uptake and acidity in the TV lumen. In isolated gastric glands loaded with the reporter fluozin-3, inhibition of H+-K+-ATPase arrested the flow of Zn2+ from the cytoplasm to the TV compartment and secretory stimulation with forskolin enhanced vectorial movement of cytoplasmic Zn2+ into the tubulovesicle/lumen (TV/L) compartment. Our findings suggest that Zn2+ accumulation in the TV/L compartment is physiologically coupled to secretion of acid. These findings offer novel insight into mechanisms regulating Zn2+ homeostasis in the gastric parietal cell and potentially other cells in which acidic subcellular compartments serve signature functional roles.

Gastric glands isolated from rabbit stomach were employed to study the relation between acid and pepsinogen secretion. The effects of adenosine and guanosine nucleotides were examined for both secretory processes. cAMP, dibutyryl cAMP (DBcAMP), and 8-bromo-cAMP (8BrcAMP) were found to stimulate both acid and pepsinogen secretion with a potency sequence of 8BrcAMP greater than DBcAMP greater than cAMP. Adenosine, ATP, and AMP were ineffective, indicating that the responses to adenosine cyclic nucleotides do not involve an adenosine receptor. 8BrcGMP was found to produce a weak stimulation of both acid and pepsinogen secretions, while GMP, cGMP, and DBcGMP were ineffective. DBcGMP was found to inhibit competitively the stimulation of pepsinogen secretion by cholecystokinin (CCK)-like peptides. No inhibition was found with cGMP or 8BrcGMP. Stimulation of pepsinogen secretion by carbachol or isoproterenol was not inhibited by DBcGMP nor was the stimulation of acid formation by CCK-like peptides. Thiocyanate inhibited acid formation but did not affect pepsinogen secretion stimulated by 8BrcAMP or carbachol, indicating that stimulation of pepsinogen secretion does not require simultaneous acid formation. Costimulation of acid formation by histamine and pepsinogen secretion by isoproterenol showed no interaction between the two secretory processes. The results are interpreted to suggest that correlations between acid and pepsinogen secretion observed in vivo do not result from direct interactions between parietal and chief cells.
