The effect of newly discovered pancreastatin on pancreatic secretion stimulated by a diversion of bile-pancreatic juice (BPJ) from the intestine was examined in the conscious rat. Exogenous pancreastatin infusion (20, 100 and 200 pmol/kg.h) inhibited pancreatic protein and fluid outputs during BPJ diversion in a dose-dependent manner. Pancreastatin did not affect plasma cholecystokinin (CCK) concentrations. Pancreastatin (100 pmol/kg.h) inhibited CCK-stimulated pancreatic secretion, but did not inhibit secretin-stimulated pancreatic secretion. Pancreastatin alone, however, did not affect basal pancreatic secretion. In contrast, pancreastatin (10(-10)-10(-7)M) did not suppress CCK-stimulated amylase release from isolated rat pancreatic acini. These results indicate that pancreastatin has an inhibitory action on exocrine function of the pancreas. This action may not be mediated by direct mechanisms and nor via an inhibition of CCK release. It is suggested that pancreastatin may play a role in the regulation of the intestinal phase of exocrine pancreatic secretion. 相似文献

We have studied the effects of pancreastatin on insulin and glucagon secretions in vivo in the conscious rat. Rats were prepared with a gastric fistula and with both external jugular veins cannulated. We found that an i.v. infusion of pancreastatin (1 and 10 nmol/kg/h) inhibited the plasma insulin response and increased the plasma glucose response to the intragastric infusion of glucose in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, the infusion of pancreastatin increased the plasma glucagon response to the i.v. infusion of arginine in a dose-dependent manner, and it inhibited the plasma insulin response. However, such an infusion of pancreastatin had no effect on the basal plasma glucose level, nor did it have any effect on plasma insulin and glucagon concentrations. Thus, it is suggested that in the rat, the newly discovered pancreastatin is a regulator of islet cell function. 相似文献

The effects of the 33-49 C-terminal fragment of pancreastatin on glycogen content, glycemia, insulinemia and glucagonemia were studied in the rat in vivo. It was found that after intramesenteric vein injection of the peptide, the glycogen content of liver decreased compared with control group injected with saline-1 < % BSA. Blood glucose levels were increased by the C-terminal fragment of pancreastatin. This study shows that the 33-49 C-terminal fragment of pancreatasin could play a role in glucose metabolism not mediated by insulin or glucagon. 相似文献

A model to study glycogen supercompensation (the significant increase in glycogen content above basal level) in primary rat skeletal muscle culture was established. Glycogen was completely depleted in differentiated myotubes by 2 h of electrical stimulation or exposure to hypoxia during incubation in medium devoid of glucose. Thereafter, cells were incubated in medium containing glucose, and glycogen supercompensation was clearly observed in treated myotubes after 72 h. Peak glycogen levels were obtained after 120 h, averaging 2.5 and 4 fold above control values in the stimulated- and hypoxia-treated cells, respectively. Glycogen synthase activity increased and phosphorylase activity decreased continuously during 120 h of recovery in the treated cells. Rates of 2-deoxyglucose uptake were significantly elevated in the treated cells at 96 and 120 h, averaging 1.4–2 fold above control values. Glycogenin content increased slightly in the treated cells after 48 h (1.2 fold vs. control) and then increased considerably, achieving peak values after 120 h (2 fold vs. control). The results demonstrate two phases of glycogen supercompensation: the first phase depends primarily on activation of glycogen synthase and inactivation of phosphorylase; the second phase includes increases in glucose uptake and glycogenin level. 相似文献

The presumptive C-terminal nonapeptide of rat pancreastatin was synthesised based upon the sequence of rat chromogranin A (CGA) analogous to that of porcine pancreastatin as contained within porcine CGA. Antisera were produced which were used to determine the qualitative and quantitative distribution of pancreastatin-like immunoreactivity in rat tissues by immunocytochemistry and radioimmunoassay respectively. Pancreastatin-like immunoreactivity was most abundant in pituitary, adrenal, gastric corpus and thyroid with considerably lower levels detected in the remainder of the gastroentero-pancreatic system and brain. Immunoreactivity was localised exclusively in endocrine cells and the relative abundance of immunoreactive cells paralleled the levels obtained radioimmunometrically. Chromatographic characterisation of pancreastatin-like immunoreactivity revealed molecular heterogeneity. Immunoreactive peptides of similar size to synthetic rat pancreastatin were present in gastrointestinal tissues and thyroid. These data indicate a tissue specific processing of CGA in the rat. 相似文献

A C-terminal fragment of rat pancreastatin, 26-residue peptide amide was synthesized by the Fmoc-based solid phase method and its biological activity was evaluated for the first time in the conscious rat. Rat pancreastatin inhibited glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and elevated blood glucose levels in a concentration of 10 nmol/kg/h. The relative molar potency of that of porcine is equivalent. This study suggests that the synthetic rat pancreastatin has a biological activity, and may play a physiological role in the endocrine pancreas. 相似文献

Elevated glycogen levels in heart have been shown to have cardioprotective effects against ischemic injury. We have therefore established a model for elevating glycogen content in primary rat cardiac cells grown in culture and examined potential mechanisms for the elevation (glycogen supercompensation). Glycogen was depleted by exposing the cells to hypoxia for 2 h in the absence of glucose in the medium. This was followed by incubating the cells with 28 mM glucose in normoxia for up to 120 h. Hypoxia decreased glycogen content to about 15% of control, oxygenated cells. This was followed by a continuous increase in glycogen in the hypoxia treated cells during the 120 h recovery period in normoxia. By 48 h after termination of hypoxia, the glycogen content had returned to baseline levels and by 120 h glycogen was about 150% of control. The increase in glycogen at 120 h was associated with comparable relative increases in glucose uptake (~ 180% of control) and the protein level of the glut-1 transporter (~ 170% of control), whereas the protein level of the glut-4 transporter was decreased to < 10% of control. By 120 h, the hypoxia-treated cells also exhibited marked increases in the total (~ 170% of control) and fractional activity of glycogen synthase (control, ~ 15%; hypoxia-treated, ~ 30%). Concomitantly, the hypoxia-treated cells also exhibited marked decreases in the total (~ 50% of control) and fractional activity of glycogen phosphorylase (control, ~ 50%; hypoxia-treated, - 25%). Thus, we have established a model of glycogen supercompensation in cultures of cardiac cells that is explained by concerted increases in glucose uptake and glycogen synthase activity and decreases in phosphorylase activity. This model should prove useful in studying the cardioprotective effects of glycogen. 相似文献

It has been reported that glycogen levels in retina vary with retinal vascularization. However, the electrical activity of isolated retina depends on glucose supply, suggesting that it does not contain energetic reserves. We determined glycogen levels and pyruvate and lactate production under various conditions in isolated retina. Ex vivo retinas from light- and dark-adapted rats showed values of 44 +/- 0.3 and 19.5 +/- 0.4 nmol glucosyl residues/mg protein, respectively. The glycogen content of retinas from light-adapted animals was reduced by 50% when they were transferred to darkness. Glycogen levels were low in retinas incubated in glucose-free media and increased in the presence of glucose. The highest glycogen values were found in media containing 20 mm of glucose. A rapid increase in lactate production was observed in the presence of glucose. Surprisingly, glycogen levels were the lowest and lactate production was also very low in the presence of 30 mm glucose. Our results suggest that glycogen can be used as an immediate accessible energy reserve in retina. We speculate on the possibility that gluconeogenesis may play a protective role by removal of lactic acid. 相似文献

Vanadate inactivated rat hepatocyte glycogen synthase and activated glycogen phosphorylase in a dose- and time-dependent manner. These effects were observed in hepatocytes from both fasted as well as fed rats. When rat hepatocytes were preincubated with [32P]phosphate and then with vanadate, and the 32P-labeled glycogen synthase was specifically immunoprecipitated, it was observed that vanadate stimulated the phosphorylation of the 88,000-dalton subunit of glycogen synthase. All of the phosphate was located in the same two CNBr fragments of the enzyme which are phosphorylated by glucagon and other glycogenolytic hormones. In cells incubated in a calcium-depleted medium, vanadate was still able to inactivate glycogen synthase but its effects on phosphorylase were essentially lost. These results demonstrate that, in the hepatocyte, vanadate exerts opposite effects than in the adipocyte and skeletal muscle, where vanadate has an insulin-like action. 相似文献

During meiosis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the polysaccharide glycogen is first synthesized and then degraded during the period of spore maturation. We have detected, in sporulating yeast strains, an enzyme activity which is responsible for the glycogen catabolism. The activity was absent in vegetative cells, appeared coincidently with the beginning of glycogenolysis and the appearance of mature ascospores, and increased progressively until spourlation was complete. The specific activity of glycogenolytic enzymes in the intact ascus was about threefold higher than in isolated spores. The glycogenolysis was not due to combinations of phosphorylase plus phosphatase or amylase plus maltase. Nonsporulating cells exhibited litle or no glycogen catabolism and contained only traces of glycogenolytic enzyme, suggesting that the activity is sporulation specific. The partially purified enzyme preparation degraded amylose and glycogen, releasing glucose as the only low-molecular-weight product. Maltotriose was rapidly hydrolyzed; maltose was less susceptible. Alpha-methyl-D-glucoside, isomaltose, and linear alpha-1,6-linked dextran were not attacked. However, the enzyme hydrolyzed alpha-1,6-glucosyl-Schardinger dextrin and increased the beta-amylolysis of beta-amylase-limit dextrin. Thus, the preparation contains alpha-1,4- and alpha-1,6-glucosidase activities. Sephadex G-150 chromatography partially resolved the enzyme into two activities, one of which may be a glucamylase and the other a debranching enzyme. 相似文献

A C-terminal fragment of rat pancreatatin, a 26 residue peptide amide and a fragment without a C-terminal amide were synthesized by Fmoc-based solid phase methods and their biological activities were compared. The rat C-terminal fragment inhibited pancreatic exocrine secretions produced by the intravenous injection of 2-deoxy-D-glucose (a central vagal nerve stimulation), whereas the fragment without a C-terminal amide showed no effect on pancreas. These results indicate that the C-terminal amide of this peptide is necessary to reveal its biological activity. 相似文献

Pancreastatin is a novel peptide, isolated from porcine pancreatic extracts, which has been shown to inhibit glucose-induced insulin release "in vitro". To achieve further insight into the influence of pancreastatin on pancreatic hormone secretion, we have studied the effects of this peptide on unstimulated insulin, glucagon and somatostatin output, as well as on the responses of these hormones to glucose and to tolbutamide in the perfused rat pancreas. Pancreastatin strongly inhibited unstimulated insulin release as well as the insulin responses to glucose and to tolbutamide. It did not significantly affect glucagon or somatostatin output under any of the above-mentioned conditions. These findings suggest that pancreastatin inhibits B-cell secretory activity directly, and not through an A-cell or D-cell paracrine effect. 相似文献

Pancreastatin, a chromogranin A derived peptide, exerts a glycogenolytic effect on the hepatocyte. This effect is initiated by binding to membrane receptors which are coupled to pertussis toxin insensitive G proteins belonging to the Gq/11 family. We have recently solubilized active pancreastatin receptors from rat liver membranes still functionally coupled to G proteins. Here, we have purified pancreastatin receptors by a two-step procedure. First, pancreastatin receptors with their associated Gq/11 regulatory proteins were purified from liver membranes by lectin absorption chromatography on wheat germ agglutinin immobilized on agarose. A biotinylated rat pancreastatin analog was tested for binding to liver membranes before using it for affinity purification. Unlabeled biotinylated rat pancreastatin competed for 125I-labeled [Tyr0]PST binding to solubilized receptors with a Kd = 0.27 nM, comparable to that of native pancreastatin. The biotinylated analog was immobilized on streptavidin-coated Sepharose beads and used to further affinity purify wheat germ agglutinin eluted receptor material. Specific elution at low pH showed that the receptor protein was purified as an 80-kDa protein in association with a G protein of the q/11 family, as demonstrated by specific immunoblot analysis. The specificity of the receptor band was assessed by chemical cross-linking of the purified material followed by SDS-PAGE and autoradiography. In conclusion, we have purified pancreastatin receptor as a glycoprotein of 80 kDa physically associated with a Gq/11 protein. 相似文献

Fisetin is a flavonoid dietary ingredient found in the smoke tree (Cotinus coggyria) and in several fruits and vegetables. The effects of fisetin on glucose metabolism in the isolated perfused rat liver and some glucose‐regulating enzymatic activities were investigated. Fisetin inhibited glucose, lactate, and pyruvate release from endogenous glycogen. Maximal inhibitions of glycogenolysis (49%) and glycolysis (59%) were obtained with the concentration of 200 µM. The glycogenolytic effects of glucagon and dinitrophenol were suppressed by fisetin 300 µM. No significant changes in the cellular contents of AMP, ADP, and ATP were found. Fisetin increased the cellular content of glucose 6‐phosphate and inhibited the glucose 6‐phosphatase activity. Gluconeogenesis from lactate and pyruvate or fructose was inhibited by fisetin 300 µM. Pyruvate carboxylation in isolated intact mitochondria was inhibited (IC50 = 163.10 ± 12.28 µM); no such effect was observed in freeze‐thawing disrupted mitochondria. It was concluded that fisetin inhibits glucose release from the livers in both fed and fasted conditions. The inhibition of pyruvate transport into the mitochondria and the reduction of the cytosolic NADH‐NAD+ potential redox could be the causes of the gluconeogenesis inhibition. Fisetin could also prevent hyperglycemia by decreasing glycogen breakdown or blocking the glycogenolytic action of hormones. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

The ECL cells constitute the predominant endocrine cell population in the mucosa of the acid-secreting part of the stomach (fundus). They are rich in chromogranin A (CGA), histamine and histidine decarboxylase (HDC). They secrete CGA-derived peptides and histamine in response to gastrin. The objective of this investigation was to examine the expression of pancreastatin (rat CGA266-314) and WE14 (rat CGA343-356) in rat stomach ECL cells. The distribution and cellular localisation of pancreastatin- and WE14-like immunoreactivities (LI) were analysed by radioimmunoassay and immunohistochemistry with antibodies against pancreastatin, WE14 and HDC. The effect of food deprivation on circulating pancreastatin-LI was examined in intact rats and after gastrectomy or fundectomy. Rats received gastrin-17 (5 nmol/kg/h) by continuous intravenous infusion or omeprazole (400 μmol/kg) once daily by the oral route, to induce hypergastrinemia. CGA-derived peptides in the ECL cells were characterised by gel permeation chromatography. The expression of CGA mRNA was examined by Northern blot analysis. Among all of the endocrine cells in the body, the ECL cell population was the richest in pancreastatin-LI, containing 20–25% of the total body content. Food deprivation and/or surgical removal of the ECL cells lowered the level of pancreastatin-LI in serum by about 80%. Activation of the ECL cells by gastrin infusion or omeprazole treatment raised the serum level of pancreastatin-LI, lowered the concentrations of pancreastatin- and WE14-LI in the ECL cells and increased the CGA mRNA concentration. Chromatographic analysis of the various CGA immunoreactive components in the ECL cells of normal and hypergastrinemic rats suggested that these cells respond to gastrin with a preferential release of the low-molecular-mass forms. 相似文献

The distribution of N-sulphate groups within fibroblast heparan sulphate chains was investigated. The detergent-extractable heparan sulphate proteoglycan from adult human skin fibroblasts, radiolabelled with [3H]glucosamine and [35S]sulphate, was coupled to CNBr-activated Sepharose 4B. After partial depolymerization of the heparan sulphate with nitrous acid, the remaining Sepharose-bound fragments were removed by treatment with alkali. These fragments, of various sizes, but all containing an intact reducing xylose residue, were fractionated on Sephacryl S-300 and the distribution of the 3H and 35S radiolabels was analysed. A decreased degree of sulphation was observed towards the reducing termini of the chains. After complete nitrous acid hydrolysis of the Sepharose-bound proteoglycan, analysis of the proximity of N-sulphation to the reducing end revealed the existence of an extended N-acetylated sequence directly adjacent to the protein-linkage sequence. The size of this N-acetylated domain was estimated by gel filtration to be approximately eight disaccharide units. This domain appears to be highly conserved, being present in virtually all the chains derived from this proteoglycan, implying the existence of a mechanism capable of generating such a non-random sequence during the post-polymeric modification of heparan sulphate. Comparison with the corresponding situation in heparin suggests that different mechanisms regulate polymer N-sulphation in the vicinity of the protein-linkage region of these chemically related glycosaminoglycans. 相似文献

The identification of pancreastatin in pancreatic extracts prompted the investigation of its effects on islet cell function. However, in most of the investigations to date, pig pancreastatin was tested in heterologous species. Since there is great interspecies variability in the amino acid sequence of pancreastatin, we have investigated the influence of rat pancreastatin on insulin, glucagon and somatostatin secretion in a homologous animal model, namely the perfused rat pancreas. During 5.5 mM glucose infusion, pancreastatin (40 nM) inhibited insulin secretion (ca. 40%, P less than 0.025) as well as the insulin responses to 10 mM arginine (ca. 50%, P less than 0.025) and to 1 nM vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (ca. 50%; P less than 0.05). Pancreastatin failed to significantly modify glucagon or somatostatin release under any of the above experimental conditions. In addition, a lower pancreastatin concentration (15.7 nM) markedly suppressed the insulin release evoked by 11 mM glucose (ca. 85%, P less than 0.05). Our present observations reinforce the concept that pancreastatin is an effective inhibitor of insulin secretion, influencing the B-cell function directly and not through an A-cell or D-cell paracrine effect. 相似文献

In the anaesthetized dog, porcine pancreastatin (98 pmol/min) was infused for 10 min into the pancreaticoduodenal artery either alone or during infusion of glucose. Blood was sampled from the pancreaticoduodenal vein. We found that pancreastatin inhibited pancreatic insulin output only under normoglycaemic conditions. Furthermore, pancreastatin significantly stimulated pancreatic glucagon and somatostatin outputs both during normo- and hyperglycaemic conditions. Our results show that pancreastatin has the capability to affect directly the three pancreatic hormone secretions in dogs. 相似文献
