Cholecystokinin receptor mediated hydrolysis of inositol phospholipids in guinea pig gastric glands

Journal Article · · Life Sci.; (United States)

CCK-octapeptide (CCK-8)(EC/sub 50/ = 0.5 nM), in the presence of Li/sup +/, increased /sup 3/H-inositol phosphate (IP) accumulation in guinea pig gastric glands prelabeled with /sup 3/H-inositol. CCK-8 desulfate, human gastrin I and pentagastrin were much less potent than CCK-8. Antagonists of CCK receptors such as proglumide, dibutyryl-c-GMP and CBZ-Tyr(SO/sub 3/H)-Met-Gly-Trp-Met-AspNH/sup 2/ shifted the CCK dose response curve to the right. However, histamine (H/sub 1/ and H/sub 2/), cholinergic, substance P and ..cap alpha..- and ..beta..-adrenergic receptor antagonists had no effect on /sup 3/H-IP accumulation induced by CCK. The results suggest that CCK receptor activation in gastric glands leads to an enhanced breakdown of inositol phospholipids which may relate to calcium mobilization and pepsinogen secretion. 20 references, 2 figures, 1 table.
