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.

The exogenous administration of the brain/gut peptide cholecystokinin (CCK) inhibits food intake in a variety of species, including subhuman primates and humans. To determine the role of endogenously released CCK in the control of food intake in rhesus monkeys, we examined the ability of the selective type A and type B CCK antagonists devazepide and L-365260 to affect total daily food intake and various meal patterns. Various doses of the antagonists were administered intragastrically 30 min before a daily 4-h feeding period. One-gram food pellets were delivered in response to lever pulls, and intake was computer monitored. Intragastric administration of the type A CCK receptor antagonist devazepide (10-320 micrograms/kg) significantly increased food intake in a dose-related fashion. The threshold for increasing intake was 32 micrograms/kg, and a maximal effect was obtained at a dose of 100 micrograms/kg that increased total 4-h food intake by 47%. The effect of devazepide on food intake was mediated by significant increases in the size and duration of the initial meal, lengthening of the subsequent intermeal interval, and a decrease in the satiety ratio (intermeal interval/1st meal size). In contrast, intragastric administration of the type B CCK receptor antagonist L-365260 (3.2-320 micrograms/kg) did not significantly affect total food intake or any of the meal parameters. These data demonstrate that endogenously released CCK acting through type A CCK receptors plays a role in regulating food intake in rhesus monkeys.

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.

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.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: NASH increases the risk of cirrhosis and liver cancer. High-fat diets increase CCK levels and CCK receptors have been identified on fibroblasts and immune cells. We hypothesized that CCK receptor blockade could prevent NASH by altering the hepatic microenvironment and macrophage activation. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Female mice were fed a Choline Deficient Ethionine supplemented (CDE) saturated fat diet or control high-fat diet for 18 weeks. Mice in each group were treated with a CCK receptor antagonist, proglumide (0.1 mg/ml) in the drinking water or regular water. Resected livers were stained for H&E for features of NASH and F4/80 for macrophages analysis. Liver RNA was evaluated for the expression of cytokines and chemokines using an 84-gene Profiler array (Qiagen). Oxidative stress was analyzed by qRT-PCR for heat shock proteins (HSPs) 27, 60, 70 and 90 and for glutathione by a fluorometric assay. Differences in CDE fed and CDE/proglumide-treated mouse livers were evaluated. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Livers from mice on the CDE diet displayed histologic features of NASH that were prevented by proglumide. Cytokines and chemokines expression, especially CCL20 and CCL2, were increased in the CDE fed mice and these levels were reduced greater than 20-fold with proglumide. Infiltration of F4/80+ macrophages was markedly increased in the CDE livers and these were reduced by > 50% (p < 0.0001) with proglumide. RNA expression of HSP70 (p = 0.006) and HSP27 (p = 0.011) were reduced with proglumide. Hepatic glutathione concentration more than doubled in the CDE/proglumide treated mice compared to CDE mice. CCK-B receptor expression increased in the CDE-fed mouse livers compared to controls. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: CCK receptor blockade decreases NASH by reducing hepatic macrophages, oxidative stress, and blocking inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. This data supports our novel hypothesis that CCK receptors play a role in NASH and proglumide may provide an innovative treatment for this condition.

To provide additional support to the hypothesis that only dietary protein (Pro; chicken egg albumin) and not amino acids (AA; patterned after albumin), carbohydrates (CHO; cornstarch), or fats (Fat; corn oil) produces a satiating effect via CCK receptors, two CCK-A receptor antagonists (PD-140,548 and devazepide) were coadministered with each nutrient. Given alone [4 ml intragastrically (ig)] Pro (1.0 g), AA (1.0 g), CHO (1.4 g), and Fat (2.4 g) suppressed ( P< 0.05) food intake on average during the first 2 h of feeding by 1.4 (36%), 1.5 (48%), 1.0 (33%), and 1.2 g (41%), respectively. Devazepide (0.5 mg/kg) and PD-140,548 (1.0 mg/kg) given alone increased food intake during 0–2 h by 0.7 g (18%) and during 0–1 h by 0.5 g (15%), respectively. When coadministered with PD-140,548 (1.0 mg/kg ip), the suppression of food intake caused by Pro was modulated during 0–2 h by 57% (Pro × drug interaction, P < 0.05), but AA-, CHO-, and Fat-induced suppression of feeding was not affected (nutrient × drug interaction, P > 0.05). Devazepide (0.5 mg/kg ip) did not modulate AA-, CHO-, and Fat-induced food intake suppression during any time period (nutrient × drug interaction, P > 0.05). These studies provide additional evidence that CCK-A receptors play a role in Pro (albumin) but not AA-, CHO (cornstarch)-, or Fat (corn oil)-induced food intake suppression in rats.

Peptide YY(3–36) [PYY(3–36)] is postulated to act as a hormonal signal from gut to brain to inhibit food intake. PYY(3–36) potently reduces food intake when administered systemically or into the brain. If action of endogenous PYY(3–36) is necessary for normal satiation to occur, then pharmacological blockade of its receptors should increase food intake. Here, we determined the effects of iv infusion of Y1, Y2, and Y5 receptor antagonists (BIBP 3226, BIIE 0246, CGP 71683) during the first 3 h of the dark period on food intake in non-food-deprived rats. Our results showed that 1) Y2 receptor blockade reversed the anorexic response to iv infusion of PYY(3–36) but did not increase food intake when administered alone; 2) Y1 and Y5 receptor antagonists neither attenuated PYY(3–36)-induced anorexia nor altered food intake when given alone; and 3) Y2 receptor blockade attenuated anorexic responses to gastric infusions of casein hydrolysate and long-chain triglycerides, but not maltodextrin. Previous work showed that Y2 antagonist BIIE 0246 does not penetrate the blood-brain barrier. Together, these results support the hypothesis that gut PYY(3–36) action at Y2 receptors peripheral to the blood brain barrier plays an essential role in mediating satiety responses to gastric delivery of protein and long-chain triglycerides, but not polysaccharide.
