To test the possibility that endogenous cholecystokinin (CCK) participates in suppression of sham feeding by intraintestinal nutrient infusions, we examined the effect of CCK-receptor antagonists on the suppression of sham feeding by intraintestinally infused oleic acid, maltose or L-phenylalanine (L-Phe). In addition, we monitored amylase activity in the intestinal lumen during some sham feeding experiments and measured plasma CCK in parallel experiments using intestinally infused animals that were not feeding. Suppression of sham feeding by oleic acid or maltose was attenuated by CCK-receptor antagonists, while suppression of sham feeding by L-Phe was not. Oleate infusion increased plasma CCK concentration and luminal amylase activity. Oleate-induced increase in luminal amylase activity was attenuated by a CCK-receptor antagonist. Intraintestinal maltose or L-Phe did not increase plasma CCK concentration or luminal amylase activity, suggesting that they did not release endocrine CCK. These results suggest 1) that endogenous CCK mediates suppression of sham feeding by oleate and maltose but not by L-Phe and 2) that CCK participating in suppression of feeding by intestinal stimuli might not be of endocrine origin.

Voluntary Food Intake

The aim of this work was to study the involvement of cholecystokinin (CCK) in the control of food intake in chickens. The following aspects were studied: 1) the effects of intravenous and intracerebroventricular sulfated octapeptide of CCK (CCK-8s) on voluntary food intake; 2) the effects of two CCK-receptor antagonists. L-365,260 and L-364,718, on food intake; and 3) the ability of such drugs to block the effects of CCK-8s on food intake in the chicken. Intravenous and intracerebroventricular CCK-8s caused a decrease in food intake. Intraperitoneal L-365,260, a CCK-receptor antagonist with low affinity for the two CCK receptors described in the chicken, increases food intake. Intracerebroventricular L-364,718, a drug that has high affinity for the chicken central CCK-receptor type, increased food intake. The effect of intravenous CCK-8s on food intake was not blocked by L-364,718 or L-365,260, whereas that of intracerebroventricular CCK-8s was blocked by intracerebroventricular L-364,718. It is concluded that central endogenous CCK plays a role in the control of food intake, which is dependent on central CCK-receptor type; nevertheless, peripheral CCK also decreases food intake acting on the peripheral CCK-receptor type. The fact that intracerebroventricular L-364,718 is able to increase food intake is related to its high affinity for the central CCK-receptor type of this species. Finally, three different speculations that might explain the fact that intraperitoneal L-365,260 increases food intake are discussed.

A cholecystokinin monoclonal antibody (CCK MAb) was used to immunoneutralize CCK to test the hypothesis that CCK produces satiety by an endocrine mechanism. We first characterized the effects of CCK MAb on pancreatic secretion. Conscious rats with jugular vein and bile-pancreatic duct cannulas received CCK MAb or control antibody intravenously 30 min before a 2-h maximal dose of CCK-8 (200 pmol.kg-1.h-1 i.v.) or access to food. CCK MAb caused dose-related inhibition of amylase secretion. CCK MAb (2 mg/kg) completely blocked the response to CCK-8 and inhibited the response to food by 89%. In feeding experiments, rats with free access to food received CCK MAb or control antibodies (2 mg/kg iv) 2 h after lights off. CCK MAb had no effect on 1.5- or 3.5-h food intake. Another group of rats received CCK MAb (4 mg/kg i.v.) or a combined injection of type A and type B CCK receptor antagonists devazepide and L-365,260 (1 mg/kg each i.v.). CCK MAb had no effect on feeding, whereas the receptor antagonists stimulated 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-h intake by 62, 45, 43, and 29%. These results suggest that endogenous CCK stimulates pancreatic enzyme secretion at least partially by an endocrine mechanism and produces satiety by a nonendocrine mechanism.

Nutrient Infusion

To test the possibility that blood-borne cholecystokinin (CCK) participates in suppression of sham feeding by intestinal nutrients in rats, we examined the ability of oleate, maltose, L-phenylalanine (L-Phe), and casein to suppress sham ingestion of 15% sucrose solution. Plasma CCK concentrations were measured in parallel experiments in which the same intestinal nutrients were infused in rats that were not feeding. Intraintestinal oleate suppressed sham feeding and elevated plasma CCK concentrations. Casein infusion produced plasma CCK concentrations similar to those produced by oleate but did not suppress sham feeding. Both maltose and L-Phe suppressed sham feeding but failed to significantly elevate plasma CCK. Previously we demonstrated that CCK receptor antagonists attenuate suppression of sham feeding by intestinal infusion of either oleate or maltose, suggesting that endogenous CCK participates in suppression of sham feeding by some intestinal nutrients. The results of the study reported here suggest that plasma CCK levels after nutrient infusion are not correlated with suppression of sham feeding. Therefore, the mechanism of CCK's participation in nutrient-induced suppression of sham feeding may not depend on stimulus-induced elevation of plasma CCK.

Sustained Increase

In six conscious dogs with gastric and duodenal cannulas, secretin (164 pmol · kg−1 · h−1 iv) was given to provide a flow of pancreatic juice of ∼1 drop/s. Amylase activity was measured in each drop before and after rapid intravenous injection of caerulein (7.4 pmol/kg) or intraduodenal injection of l-tryptophan (1 mmol), sodium oleate (3 mmol), and HCl (3 mmol). All experiments were repeated in the presence of the M1 receptor antagonist telenzepine (81 nmol · kg−1 · h− iv) and the cholecystokinin (CCK) receptor antagonist L-364718 (0.1 mg/kg iv). Latency of amylase response (time between injection of stimulant and sustained increase in amylase activity greater than mean + 3 SD of prestimulatory activity) to tryptophan (17 ± 7 s; n = 6) and oleate (16 ± 5 s) was significantly ( P < 0.05) shorter than to caerulein (28 ± 4 s) and HCl (120 ± 47 s). Telenzepine significantly increased the latency of amylase response to tryptophan and oleate by >10-fold but not the latency to caerulein or HCl. L-364718 abolished the amylase response to all stimulants. These findings indicate that the early amylase response to intraduodenal tryptophan and oleate is mediated by a neural enteropancreatic reflex ending on M1 receptors rather than by hormone release. However, the activation of (possibly vagal) CCK receptors is essential to run the reflex. The early amylase response to intraduodenal HCl is probably mediated by the release of CCK into the blood circulation.

Investigation of the effect of α1-adrenergic receptor subtypes on the contraction of the abdominal aorta will allow for more effective treatment of hypertension by use of selective antagonists. The aim of the study was to evaluate the participation of α1-adrenergic receptor subtypes in the contractility of the aortic smooth muscle cells in rabbits. The in vitro experiments were performed in isolated tissue preparations from 30 adult female New Zealand rabbits. The abdominal aortic sections were placed in organ bath chambers and contracted with increasing doses of non-selective α1-adrenergic receptor agonist phenylephrine without pre-incubation or after incubation in α1-adrenergic receptor subtype-selective or non-selective antagonists. Separate sections were incubated with increasing concentrations of antagonists. Phenylephrine caused maximal rise in arterial smooth muscle tone to 4.75 ± 0.47 mN. The most potent in blocking phenylephrine induced contraction was 5-metylurapidil (α1A-adrenergic receptor antagonist) followed by phentolamine and prazosin (non-selective α1-adrenergic receptor antagonists); BMY 7378 (α1D-adrenergic receptor antagonist), cyclazosin and L-765.314 (α1B-adrenergic receptor antagonists) were less effective. All antagonists, except BMY 7378 elicited relaxation of non-precontracted aorta in dose dependent manner. Our results indicate that postsynaptic α1A receptors are the most potent in producing rabbit abdominal aorta contraction, while α1B and α1D subtypes are less effective.

Presently, the physiological significance of myocardial adenosine A2a receptor stimulation is unclear. In this study, the influence of adenosine A2a receptor activation on A1 receptor-mediated antiadrenergic actions was studied using constant-flow perfused rat hearts and isolated rat ventricular myocytes. In isolated perfused hearts, the selective A2a receptor antagonists 8-(3-chlorostyryl)caffeine (CSC) and 4-(2-[7-amino-2-(2-furyl)[1,2,4]triazolo[2,3-a][1,3,5]triazin-5-ylamino]ethyl)phenol (ZM-241385) potentiated adenosine-mediated decreases in isoproterenol (Iso; 10−8 M)-elicited contractile responses (+dP/d t max) in a dose-dependent manner. The effect of ZM-241385 on adenosine-induced antiadrenergic actions was abolished by the selective A1 receptor antagonist 1,3-dipropyl-8-cyclopentylxanthine (10−7 M), but not the selective A3 receptor antagonist 3-ethyl-5-benzyl-2-methyl-4-phenylethynyl-6-phenyl-1,4-(±)-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate (MRS-1191, 10−7 M). The A2a receptor agonist carboxyethylphenethyl-aminoethyl-carboxyamido-adenosine (CGS-21680) at 10−5 M attenuated the antiadrenergic effect of the selective A1 receptor agonist 2-chloro- N 6-cyclopentyladenosine (CCPA), whereas CSC did not influence the antiadrenergic action of this agonist. In isolated ventricular myocytes, CSC potentiated the inhibitory action of adenosine on Iso (2 × 10−7 M)-elicited increases in intracellular Ca2+concentration ([Ca2+]i) transients but did not influence Iso-induced changes in [Ca2+]itransients in the absence of exogenous adenosine. These results indicate that adenosine A2areceptor antagonists enhance A1-receptor-induced antiadrenergic responses and that A2a receptor agonists attenuate (albeit to a modest degree) the antiadrenergic actions of A1 receptor activation. In conclusion, the data in this study support the notion that an important physiological role of A2a receptors in the normal mammalian myocardium is to reduce A1 receptor-mediated antiadrenergic actions.

ABSTRACT. Nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) regulates many genes involved in renal pathophysiologic processes. It was previously demonstrated that angiotensin II (AngII) and its amino-terminal degradation product AngIII activate NF-κB in mesangial cells. However, which are the Ang receptor subtypes involved in the NF-κB pathway and whether these Ang peptides act through the same or different receptors in mesangial cells have not been evaluated. Under the culture conditions used, quiescent rat mesangial cells expressed both AT1and AT2receptors. To investigate the receptors involved in the NF-κB pathway, two different approaches were used,i.e., pharmacologic studies, using specific AT1and AT2receptor antagonists and agonists, and studies in AT1receptor-knockout mice. In cultured rat mesangial cells, both AT1and AT2receptor antagonists inhibited AngII-induced NF-κB DNA binding activity, whereas NF-κB activation elicited by AngIII was mainly blocked by the AT2receptor antagonist. Similar results were observed for cytosolic IκBα degradation. An AT2receptor agonist also activated NF-κB. In AT1receptor-knockout murine mesangial cells, AngIII and AngII increased NF-κB activity and degraded cytosolic IκBα; both processes were blocked by the AT2receptor antagonist. These data demonstrate that, in mesangial cells, NF-κB activation is mediated by AT1and AT2receptors, suggesting a novel intracellular signaling mechanism for AT2receptors in the kidney. Some differences in Ang peptide receptor-mediated responses were also observed. AngII activates NF-κB via AT1and AT2receptors, whereas AngIII acts mainly via AT2receptors. These results suggest the potential involvement of the AngIII/AT2receptor/NF-κB pathway in pathophysiologic processes in the kidney and provide a better understanding of the renin-angiotensin system.
