It is found that secretion of pancreastatin and somatostatin from QGP-1N cells is regulated through muscarinic receptor-mediated activation of phosphatidylinositide hydrolysis system. In this report, whether the cAMP pathway interacts with the phosphoinositide turnover system for the secretion of pancreastatin and somatostatin from QGP-1N cells through muscarinic receptors was studied. Stimulation of QGP-1N cells with carbachol increased intracellular cAMP levels. The carbachol-induced increase in cAMP levels was inhibited by atropine. Calcium ionophore (A23187) and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate increased cAMP synthesis. Dibutyryl cAMP, forskolin and theophylline stimulated secretion of pancreastatin and somatostatin. When either dibutyryl cAMP, forskolin or theophylline was added in culture medium with A23187, phorbol ester or carbachol, a synergistic effect was found on pancreastatin and somatostatin secretion. These results suggest that interaction between the phosphoinositide turnover system and the cAMP pathway occurs in QGP-1N cells through muscarinic receptor stimulation for the secretion of pancreastatin and somatostatin. 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

The influence of exogenous serotonin on the secretion of gastric somatostatin and gastrin was investigated under in vitro conditions using an isolated, vascularly perfused rat stomach preparation. Serotonin stimulated gastrin release, maximal effects were observed at 10(-6) M which increased gastrin levels by 78%; on the contrary, somatostatin secretion was inhibited (maximal inhibition of 56% at 10(-6) M). Changes in hormone secretion in response to serotonin were reversed by combined blockade of 5-HT1 and 5-HT2 receptors by methysergide and blockade of 5-HT2 receptors by ketanserin (10(-5) and 10(-6) M, respectively), and of cholinoreceptors by atropine (10(-5) M). It is concluded that in rats in vitro serotonin inhibits release of gastric somatostatin and stimulates gastrin secretion via specific serotonin receptors but muscarinic cholinergic receptors are also involved. 相似文献

The neuropeptide hormone somatostatin is used to treat bleeding oesophageal varices and to reduce portal pressure, and can prevent progression to severe fibrosis in chronic liver disease. We believe that somatostatin can also have therapeutic potential against schistosomiasis, based on recent observations that severe morbidity symptoms are associated with low levels of host somatostatin in patients infected with Schistosoma mansoni. The administration of exogenous doses of this neuropeptide could therefore alleviate the pathology caused by schistosomiasis. 相似文献

We have recently found the calcium dependent glycogenolytic effect of pancreastatin on rat hepatocytes and the mobilization of intracellular calcium. To further investigate the mechanism of action of pancreastatin on liver we have studied its effect on guanylate cyclase, adenylate cyclase, and phospholipase C, and we have explored the possible involvement of GTP binding proteins by measuring GTPase activity as well as the effect of pertussis toxin treatment of plasma liver membranes on the pancreastatin stimulated GTPase activity and the production of cyclic GMP and myo-inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate. Pancreastatin stimulated GTPase activity of rat liver membranes about 25% over basal. The concentration dependency curve showed that maximal stimulation was achieved at 10?7 M pancreastatin (EC50 = 3 nM). This stimulation was partially inhibited by treatment of the membranes with pertussis toxin. The effect of pancreastatin on guanylate cyclase and phospholipase C were examined by measuring the production of cyclic GMP and myo-inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate respectively. Pancreastatin increased the basal activity of guanylate cyclase to a maximum of 2.5-fold the unstimulated activity at 30°C, in a time- and dose-dependent manner, reaching the maximal stimulation above control with 10?7 M pancreastatin at 10 min (EC50 = 0.6 nM). This effect was completely abolished when rat liver membranes had been ADP-ribosylated with pertussis toxin. On the other hand, adenylate cyclase activity was not affected by pancreastatin. Phospholipase C activity of rat liver membranes was rapidly stimulated (within 2–5 min) at 30°C by 10?7 M pancreastatin, reaching a maximum at 15 min. The dose response curve showed that with 10?7 M pancreastatin, maximal stimulation was obtained (EC50 = 3 nM). GTP (10?5 M) stimulated the membrane-bound phospholipase C as expected. However, the incubation of rat liver membranes with GTP partially inhibited the stimulation of phospholipase C activity produced by pancreastatin, whereas GTP enhanced the activation of phospholipase C by vasopressin. This inhibition by GTP was dose dependent and 10?5 M GTP obtained the maximal inhibition (about 40%). the inhibitory effect of GTP on the stimulatory effect of pancreastatin on phospholipase C activity was completely abolished when rat liver membranes had previously been ADP-ribosylated with pertussis toxin. The presence of 8-Br-cGMP mimics the effect of GTP, whereas GMP-PNP increased both basal and pancreastatin-stimulated phospholipase C, suggesting a role of the cyclic GMP as a feed-back regulator of the synthesis of myo-inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate. However, the pretreatment of membranes with pertussis toxin did not modify the production of myo-Inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate stimulated by pancreastatin. In conclusion, pancreastatin activates guanylate cyclase activity and phospholipase C involving different pathways, pertussis toxin-sensitive, and -insensitive, respectively. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Age-dependent levels of plasma neuropeptides in normal children 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Several neuropeptides are secreted in high amounts in pediatric tumors such as neuroblastoma and have been used as markers of residual or recurrent disease. Plasma levels of neuropeptides might be expected to change during development, but have not been determined in normal children. We have obtained fresh plasma from cord blood of six full-term infants and from peripheral blood in 41 healthy children, ages 1 month to 21 years. Levels of six neuropeptides, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), somatostatin, gastrin releasing peptide (GRP), substance P, pancreastatin and neuropeptide Y (NPY) were measured by radioimmunoassay along with insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) whose plasma levels are known to vary during development. A child with neuroblastoma was treated with the somatostatin analogue, octreotide, and the effect on plasma neuropeptides quantified. Octreotide doses of 2-3 microg/kg daily resulted in a 40-60% decrease in plasma levels of IGF-1, pancreastatin and GRP. These results are the first publication of plasma neuropeptide levels in normal children. 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

The oxyntic mucosa is rich in ECL cells. They secrete histamine and chromogranin A-derived peptides, such as pancreastatin, in response to gastrin and pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide (PACAP). Secretion is initiated by Ca2+ entry. While gastrin stimulates secretion by opening L-type and N-type Ca2+ channels, PACAP stimulates secretion by activating L-type and receptor-operated Ca2+ channels. Somatostatin, galanin and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) inhibit gastrin- and PACAP-stimulated secretion from the ECL cells. In the present study, somatostatin and the PGE2 congener misoprostol inhibited gastrin- and PACAP-stimulated secretion 100%, while galanin inhibited at most 60-65%. Bay K 8644, a specific activator of L-type Ca2+ channels, stimulated ECL-cell secretion, an effect that was inhibited equally effectively by somatostatin, misoprostol and galanin (75-80% inhibition). Pretreatment with pertussis toxin, that inactivates inhibitory G-proteins, prevented all three agents from inhibiting stimulated secretion (regardless of the stimulus). Pretreatment with nifedipine (10 microM), an L-type Ca2+ channel blocker, reduced PACAP-evoked pancreastatin secretion by 50-60%, gastrin-evoked secretion by approximately 80% and abolished the response to Bay K 8644. The nifedipine-resistant response to PACAP was abolished by somatostatin and misoprostol but not by galanin. Gastrin and PACAP raised the intracellular Ca2+ concentration in a biphasic manner, believed to reflect mobilization of internal Ca2+ followed by Ca2+ entry. Somatostatin and misoprostol blocked Ca2+ entry (and histamine and pancreastatin secretion) but not mobilization of internal Ca2+. The present observations on isolated ECL cells suggest that Ca2+ entry rather than mobilization of internal Ca2+ triggers exocytosis, that gastrin and PACAP activate different (but over-lapping) Ca2+ channels, that somatostatin, misoprostol and galanin interact with inhibitory G-proteins to block Ca2+ entry via L-type Ca2+ channels, and that somatostatin and misoprostol (but not galanin) in addition block N-type and/or receptor-operated Ca2+ channels. 相似文献

Computerized gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to measure precisely the hypothalamic levels of noradrenaline (NA), dopamine and serotonin together with those of their major neuronal metabolites 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethyleneglycol (DHPG), 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid in normal male rats 45 min after stimulation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal function by urethane (1.3 g/kg) administration. Urethane treatment resulted in a significant elevation of central noradrenergic neuronal activity (NNA) as assessed from marked rises in hypothalamic DHPG concentrations and the ratio (DHPG/NA). At the same time there was significant stimulation of ACTH and corticosterone release and inhibition of growth hormone release. These hormonal and central effects of urethane (but not anesthesia) were inhibited when the alpha 2-agonist clonidine (150 micrograms/kg) was co-administered. Urethane had no major effect on hypothalamic dopamine or serotonin status. We propose that the release of ACTH and the suppression of growth hormone release following urethane anaesthesia is a result of activation of central NNA and suggest that the hormonal responses are mediated via hypothalamic noradrenergic facilitation of corticotrophin releasing factor and somatostatin release to the anterior pituitary. 相似文献

Galanin and pancreastatin inhibit stimulated insulin secretion in the mouse: comparison of effects 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The effects of the two intrapancreatic peptides galanin and pancreastatin on basal and stimulated insulin and glucagon secretion in the mouse were compared. It was found that at 2 min after intravenous injection of galanin or pancreastatin (4.0 nmol/kg), basal plasma glucagon and glucose levels were slightly elevated. Galanin was more potent than pancreastatin to elevate basal plasma glucagon levels: they increased from 60 +/- 15 to 145 +/- 19 pg/ml (p less than 0.01) after galanin compared to from 35 +/- 5 to 55 +/- 8 pg/ml (p less than 0.05) after pancreastatin. Plasma insulin levels were lowered by galanin (p less than 0.05), but not by pancreastatin. CCK-8 (6.3 nmol/kg) or terbutaline (3.6 mumol/kg) markedly increased the plasma insulin levels. Galanin (4.0 nmol/kg) completely abolished the insulin response to CCK-8 (p less than 0.001), but pancreastatin (4.0 nmol/kg) was without effect. Galanin inhibited the insulin response to terbutaline by approximately 60% (p less than 0.01), but pancreastatin inhibited the insulin response to terbutaline by approximately 35% only (p less than 0.05). CCK-8 and terbutaline did both elevate plasma glucagon levels by moderate potencies: neither pancreastatin nor galanin could affect these responses. Thus, in the mouse, galanin and pancreastatin both inhibit basal and stimulated insulin secretion, and stimulate basal glucagon secretion. Galanin is thereby more potent than pancreastatin. The study also showed that galanin potently inhibits insulin secretion stimulated by the octapeptide of cholecystokin and by the beta 2-adrenoceptor agonist terbutaline, and that pancreastatin inhibits terbutaline-induced insulin secretion. 相似文献

In the liver, pancreastatin exerts a glycogenolytic effect through interaction with specific receptors, followed by activation of phospholipase C and guanylate cyclase. Pancreastatin receptor seems to be coupled to two different G protein systems: a pertussis toxin-insensitive G protein that mediates activation of phospholipase C, and a pertussis toxin sensitive G protein that mediates the cyclic GMP production. The aim of this study was to identify the specific G protein subtypes coupling pancreastatin receptors in rat liver membranes. GTP binding was determined by using gamma-35S-GTP; specific anti-G protein alpha subtype sera were used to block the effect of pancreastatin receptor activation. Activation of G proteins was demonstrated by the incorporation of the photoreactive GTP analogue 8-azido-alpha-32P-GTP into liver membranes and into specific immunoprecipitates of different Galpha subunits from soluble rat liver membranes. Pancreastatin stimulation of rat liver membranes increases the binding of gamma-35S-GTP in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Activation of the soluble receptors still led to the pancreastatin dose-dependent stimulation of gamma-35S-GTP binding. Besides, WGA semipurified receptors also stimulates GTP binding. The binding was inhibited by treatment with anti-Galphaq/11 (85%) and anti-Galphai1,2 (15%) sera, whereas anti-Galphao,i3 serum failed to affect the binding. Finally, pancreastatin stimulates GTP photolabeling of particulate membranes. Moreover, it specifically increased the incorporation of 8-azido-alpha-32P-GTP into Galphaq/11 and Galpha, but not into Galphao,i3 from soluble rat liver membranes. In conclusion, pancreastatin stimulation of rat liver membranes led to the activation of Galphaq/11 and Galphai1,2 proteins. These results suggest that Galphaq/11 and Galphai1,2 may play a functional role in the signaling of pancreastatin receptor by mediating the production of IP3 and cGMP respectively. 相似文献

Pancreastatin is a novel 49-amino acid peptide with a C-terminal glycine amide. The peptide was isolated from porcine pancreatic extracts and shows a structural similarity to chromogranin A. The effect of synthetic porcine pancreastatin on blood glucose levels and hepatic glycogen content was investigated in ratsin vivo. Pancreastatin (300 pmol/kg) produced a time-dependent decrease in glycogen content of liver and a slight hyperglycemia. Basal plasma insulin and glucagon levels were not modified by pancreastatin. We suggest that pancreastatin could play a biological role in the glucose metabolism through a glycogenolytic effect. 相似文献

Somatostatin inhibits the uptake of phallotoxins and of cholic acid in isolated liver cells in a concentration-dependent manner. The inhibition is independent on the preincubation period and fully reversed by switching to a somatostatin-free buffer. Concentrations needed for 50% inhibition decreased 30-80-fold when somatostatin was modified by variation of its amino acid sequence. Some cyclic hexa- or penta-peptides inhibited both kinds of transport more strongly as the original (14 amino acid) somatostatin did. Three of the analogs showed a 2-3-fold higher potency than the others. The most potent compound (cyclo (Phe-Thr-Lys-Trp-Phe-D-Pro) 1 was studied in detail. The IC50 for the initial uptake of phallotoxin (6 microM) or of cholate (6 microM) was 1.5 or 3 microM, respectively. 1 inhibited the uptake of cholate in a competitive manner. The inhibition was independent on the preincubation time, but in contrast to somatostatin not fully reversible after a preincubation of 35 min. Somatostatin as well as its analogs prevented binding of isothiocyanatobenzamido [3H]cholate (an affinity label of the cholate transporter) to isolated plasma membranes from rat liver. The transport inhibition of cholate uptake is unlikely to be a hormonal effect of somatostatin, because the concentrations needed are approx. 1000-fold higher than circulating levels; however, it is apparently possible to increase the inhibitory potency on the tested transport system by modification of the sequence without increase of the well-known hormonal effects (Designing Activity and Receptor-Selectivity in Cyclic Peptide Hormone Analogs, Kessler, H., 18th Ervag Conference, Brussels, 1983). 相似文献

To clarify the possible role of a guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G-protein) in the signal transducing system activated by carbachol, actions of carbachol on human pancreastatin producing cell line (QGP-1N) were compared with those of fluoride, a well-known activator of stimulatory (Gs) or inhibitory (Gi) G protein. 10(-5) M of carbachol as well as 20 mM of NaF stimulated secretion of pancreastatin and somatostatin and intracellular Ca2+ mobilization. These secretion and Ca2+ mobilization were not modified by pertussis toxin, an inhibitor of Gi protein. These results suggest that pancreastatin and somatostatin secretions from QGP-1N are regulated by acetylcholine through a muscarinic receptor coupled to the activation of polyphosphoinositide breakdown by a G protein, which appears to be fluoride sensitive but is other than a Gi-like protein. 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

Abstract Liver glycogen, liver lipid, liver triglycerides, plasma glucose, plasma total lipid, plasma cholesterol, plasma corticoids, hypothalamic serotonin and pituitary pro‐lactin levels were assayed at five times over a 24‐h period in Carassius auratus maintained under a specific photoperiod regime at various times throughout the year. Diurnal variations were observed in all parameters monitored. Daily variations of liver glycogen, plasma glucose, plasma lipid, plasma corticoids and hypothalamic serotonin were affected by time of feeding. Liver glycogen, plasma lipid and plasma corticoid levels were also affected by time of feeding. Diurnal variations of liver glycogen, plasma glucose and plasma lipid were influenced by light‐dark cycles. These data illustrate that feeding time, photoperiod and time of sacrifice are important considerations in the study of metabolic and hormonal parameters in fishes. 相似文献

BackgroundAlthough colorectal cancer (CRC) usually metastasizes to the liver and/or lungs, factors influencing the anatomic pattern of metastases remain poorly understood.MethodsWe assessed the relationship between primary CRC site and pattern of synchronous metastasis among 1202 individuals diagnosed with incident metastatic CRC between 2010 and 2014 and identified through the Seattle-Puget Sound Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registry. Polytomous logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the association between primary tumor site and synchronous metastatic pattern.ResultsCompared to patients with proximal colon primaries, patients with rectal primaries were more likely to present with lungs-only or liver and lungs metastases versus liver-only metastases (ORlungs–onlyvs.liver-only: 2.39, 95% CI: 1.35–4.24, ORliver+lungsvs.liver-only: 2.20, 95% CI: 1.46–3.32).ConclusionThese findings suggest that patients with rectal primaries are more likely than patients with colon primaries to present with synchronous lung metastases. 相似文献

Neurohormonal regulation of secretion from isolated rat stomach ECL cells: a critical reappraisal 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
ECL cells are endocrine/paracrine cells in the oxyntic mucosa. They produce, store and secrete histamine and chromogranin A-derived peptides such as pancreastatin. The regulation of ECL-cell secretion has been studied by several groups using purified ECL cells, isolated from rat stomachs. Reports from different laboratories often disagree. The purpose of the present study was to re-evaluate the discrepancies by studying histamine (or pancreastatin) secretion from standardized preparations of pure, well-functioning ECL cells. Cells from rat oxyntic mucosa were dispersed by pronase digestion, purified by repeated counter-flow elutriation and subjected to density gradient centrifugation. The final preparation consisted of more than 90% ECL cells (verified by histamine and/or histidine decarboxylase immunocytochemistry). They were maintained in primary culture for 48 h before they were exposed to candidate stimulants and inhibitors for 30 min after which the medium was collected for determination of mobilized histamine (or pancreastatin). Gastrin-17 and sulphated cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8s) raised histamine secretion 4-fold, the EC(50) for both peptides being around 100 pM. The neuropeptide pituitary adenylate cyclase activating peptide (PACAP-27) (5-fold increase) and the related neuropeptides vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and peptide histidine isoleucine (PHI) (3-fold increase) mobilized histamine with similar potency (EC(50) ranging from 80 to 140 pM). Adrenaline, isoprenaline and terbutaline stimulated secretion by activating a beta2 receptor subtype, while acetylcholine and carbachol were without effect. Secretion experiments were invariably run in parallel with a gastrin standard curve. Somatostatin, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and the PGE1 congener misoprostol inhibited PACAP- and gastrin-stimulated secretion by more than 90%, with IC(50) values ranging from 90-720 (somatostatin) to 40-200 (misoprostol) pM. The neuropeptide galanin inhibited secretion by 60-70% with a potency similar to that of somatostatin. Proposed inhibitors such as peptide YY, neuropeptide Y and the cytokines interleukin 1-beta and tumor necrosis factor alpha induced at best a moderate inhibition of gastrin- or PACAP-stimulated secretion at high concentrations, while calcitonin gene-related peptide, pancreatic polypeptide and histamine itself were without effect. Inhibition of gastrin- or PACAP-stimulated secretion was routinely compared to a somatostatin standard curve. In conclusion, gastrin, PACAP, VIP/PHI and adrenaline stimulated secretion. Somatostatin and PGE2 were powerful inhibitors of both gastrin- and PACAP-stimulated secretion; although equally potent, galanin was less effective than somatostatin and PGE2. 相似文献

Cardiovascular diseases and cancer (especially lung cancer) are leading causes of morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Some have implicated systemic inflammation, which is commonly observed in COPD, as the potential mechanistic bridge between COPD and these disorders. This concept has been supported by animal studies especially in rabbits, which have clearly demonstrated the effect of local lung inflammation on systemic inflammation and on the progression of atherosclerosis and by cross-sectional population-based studies, which have shown a significant relationship between systemic inflammation, as measured by circulating C-reactive protein (CRP) and the risk of cardiovascular diseases in COPD patients. These data have been further extended by a recent study that has elucidated the temporal nature of the relationship between systemic inflammation and the risk of cardiovascular events and cancer in COPD patients. This study showed that baseline CRP levels predicted the incidence of cardiovascular events and cancer-specific mortality over 7 to 8 years of follow-up. CRP levels also predicted all-cause mortality. Collectively, these data indicate that systemic inflammation may play an important role in mediating the extra-pulmonary complications of COPD. Systemic inflammation may contribute substantially to the overall morbidity and mortality of COPD patients. 相似文献

The concentrations of arginine vasopressin (AVP), somatostatin (SS), and the primary brain metabolites of norepinephrine (MHPG), serotonin (5-HIAA), and dopamine (HVA) were measured in samples of lumbar CSF obtained from ten amnesics with Korsakoff's psychosis, four patients with a history of Korsakoff's psychosis who had recovered from the amnesic symptoms of this disease, and control subjects. Significant deficits were observed in the amnesic group for AVP and MHPG, but not for the other substances measured. Subjects who had recovered from the amnesic symptoms of Korsakoff's psychosis had increased concentrations of AVP and MHPG, but not of SS or the other monoamine metabolites. 相似文献
