Role of endogenous CCK in regulation of interdigestive pancreatic exocrine secretion in sheep (Ovis aries).

The role of endogenous cholecystokinin (CCK) in the regulation of pancreatic exocrine secretion during the interdigestive period was studied in conscious sheep. Intravenous infusion of proglumide (15, 30 and 60 mumol/kg/min) for 70 min significantly decreased flow rate, protein and amylase output in pancreatic juice by 80% at the maximum dose, as well as atropine (10 micrograms/kg/min), without a significant decrease in plasma concentration of immunoreactive CCK. Intravenous injection of CCK (114 pmol/kg) increased the pancreatic secretion during atropine infusion, but not during proglumide infusion. These results suggest that the regulation of interdigestive pancreatic exocrine secretion in sheep depends greatly on endogenous CCK as well as on the cholinergic mechanism.

Antagonism of cholecystokinin function in the rostral and caudal nucleus accumbens: differential effects on brain stimulation reward.

Microinjections of proglumide, a cholecystokinin (CCK) receptor antagonist, into the rostral and caudal nucleus accumbens (NA) were examined for effects on intracranial self-stimulation (ICSS) derived from the ventral tegmental area (VTA). Proglumide was found to dose-dependently antagonize ICSS when administered in the caudal NA but had weak facilitatory effects when administered in the rostral NA. These findings were interpreted to suggest that endogenous CCK is involved in the neurochemical mechanisms underlying brain stimulation reward derived from the VTA. The present results are consistent with the notion that caudal NA CCK function is associated with facilitatory influences on brain stimulation reward. The dopamine antagonist-like effects of CCK appear to involve CCK actions in the more rostral regions of the NA and may reflect the contribution of non-dopamine neuron-derived source(s) of CCK.

Effects of amylin on feeding of goldfish: interactions with CCK.

In mammals, amylin (AMY) is a peptide that is secreted from the pancreas in response to a meal. AMY inhibits food intake and may also contribute to the anorectic effects of the brain-gut peptide cholecystokinin (CCK). In this study, we assessed the role of AMY in the regulation of food intake in goldfish (Carassius auratus) and its interactions with CCK. Fish were injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) with mammalian AMY and intracerebroventricularly (i.c.v.) with mammalian AMY, alone or in combination with the sulfated octapeptide CCK-8S. We also assessed the effects of i.c.v. injections of AC187, an amylin receptor antagonist on the central actions of both AMY and CCK-8S, as well as the effects of i.c.v. injections of proglumide, a CCK receptor antagonist, on the central effects of AMY. AMY injected i.p. at 100 ng/g but not 25 or 50 ng/g or i.c.v. at 10 ng/g but not 1 ng/g significantly decreased food intake as compared to saline-treated fish. Fish co-treated i.c.v. with AMY at 1 ng/g and CCK-8S at 1 ng/g had a food intake lower than that of control fish and fish treated with either 1 ng/g CCK-8S or 1 ng/g AMY, suggesting a synergy between the two systems. Whereas low i.c.v. doses of AC187 (30 ng/g) had no effect, moderate doses (50 ng/g) induced an increase in food intake, indicating a role of endogenous AMY in satiety in goldfish. Blocking central amylin receptors with i.c.v. AC187 (30 ng/g) resulted in an inhibition of both i.c.v. AMY- and CCK-induced reduction in feeding. Blocking central CCK receptors with i.c.v. proglumide (25 ng/g) resulted in an inhibition of both i.c.v. CCK-induced and AMY-induced decrease in food intake. Our results show for the first time in fish that AMY is a potent anorexigenic factor and that its actions are interdependent with those of CCK.

Role of leptin in the control of feeding of goldfish Carassius auratus: interactions with cholecystokinin, neuropeptide Y and orexin A, and modulation by fasting.

To assess the role of leptin on food intake regulation in goldfish, we examined the effects of central (intracerebroventricular, ICV) and peripheral (intraperitoneal, IP) injections of recombinant murine leptin on feeding behavior. Centrally (100 ng/g) and peripherally (300 ng/g) injected leptin both caused a significant decrease in food intake, compared to the saline-treated controls. To test the hypothesis that leptin influenced orexigenic neuropeptide systems in goldfish, fish were co-injected with neuropeptide Y (NPY) or orexin A and leptin. Both NPY (5 ng/g) and orexin A (10 ng/g) significantly increased food intake. Fish co-injected ICV with NPY (5 ng/g) or orexin A (10 ng/g) and leptin (1 or 10 ng/g) had a food intake lower than that of fish treated with NPY or orexin A alone. NPY mRNA expression in goldfish brain was reduced 2 and 6 h following central injection of leptin. To test the hypothesis that the cholecystokinin (CCK) mediates the effects of leptin in goldfish, fish were simultaneously injected ICV with an ineffective dose of leptin (10 ng/g) and either ICV or IP with an ineffective doses of CCK (1 ng/g ICV or 25 ng/g IP). These fish had a food intake lower than vehicle-treated fish, suggesting that leptin potentiates the satiety actions of CCK. CCK hypothalamic mRNA expression was increased 2 h following central treatment with leptin. The CCK receptor antagonist proglumide blocked both central and peripheral CCK satiety effects. Blockade of CCK brain receptors by proglumide resulted in an inhibition of the leptin-induced decrease in food intake and an attenuation of the inhibiting action of leptin on both NPY- and orexin A-induced feeding. These data suggests that CCK has a role in mediating the effects of leptin on food intake. Fasting potentiated the actions of leptin and attenuated the effects of CCK. Whereas fasting had no effects on the brain mRNA expression of CCK, it increased the brain mRNA expression of NPY and decreased the expression of CART. These changes in neuropeptide expression were partially reversed when fish were treated ICV with leptin. These results provide strong evidence that, in goldfish, leptin influences food intake, in part by modulating the orexigenic effects of NPY and orexin and that its actions are mediated, at least in part, by CCK.

Effect of omeprazole-induced hypergastrinaemia on the proliferation of colonic mucosal epithelial cells in the rat.

In the present study we have investigated the effects of proglumide (PRO) and somatostatin analog (SMS 201-995) on the mitotic activity of colonic mucosa in rats under basal conditions and after omeprazole (OM). The stathmokinetic method was used. Proglumide and OM were administered for 5 days, twice daily, SMS 201-995 on the 5th day of the experiment only, also twice daily. It was found that: 1) OM enhanced the proliferation of colonic mucosa, as well as increased serum gastrin, when compared to controls, 2) OM and PRO, when applied jointly, decreased the mitotic activity of the colonic epithelium, 3) PRO alone increased the colonic cell proliferation.

Role of cholecystokinin-8 in nerve growth factor and nerve growth factor mRNA expression in carrageenan-induced joint inflammation in adult rats.

OBJECTIVES: The aim of our study was to investigate the role of cholecystokinin-8 (CCK-8), which is able to induce the synthesis of nerve growth factor (NGF), in the joint inflammation of carrageenan-injected rats. METHODS: Adult rats were injected in the ankle joint with carrageenan, with or without CCK-8 or a CCK receptor antagonist (proglumide), and tissue swelling, NGF levels and NGF mRNA expression were assessed. RESULTS: Expression of NGF and NGF mRNA increased transiently after carrageenan injection. This effect was not altered by CCK-8 injection but was inhibited by the CCK receptor antagonist. The decrease in NGF level after treatment with the antagonist was concurrent with an increase in paw swelling. CONCLUSIONS: The results demonstrate that, whereas CCK-8 has no anti-inflammatory action in carrageenan-injected animals, proglumide induces a worsening of inflammation and reduces the expression of both NGF and NGF mRNA in inflamed ankle joints. Our data point to a regulatory action of CCK-8 on NGF synthesis during acute synovitis and suggest a role for NGF in the healing phase of inflammation.

Acute tolerance to continuously infused alfentanil: the role of cholecystokinin and N-methyl-D-aspartate-nitric oxide systems.

UNLABELLED: To test the role of cholecystokinin (CCK) and N-methyl-D-aspartate-nitric oxide (NMDA-NO) systems in the development of acute tolerance to analgesia during alfentanil IV infusion, we conducted experiments in rats with the use of an infusion algorithm designed to maintain a constant plasma level of the opioid for 4 h. The degree of acute tolerance was determined on the basis of decline in the level of analgesia measured with a tail compression test. CCK(B) receptor antagonists (proglumide, CI-988, and L-365,260) and NMDA-NO cascade inhibitors (dizocilpine and NO synthase inhibitor) were administered before the start of alfentanil infusion. Use of 30 mg/kg proglumide, 10 mg/kg CI-988, and 1 mg/kg L-365,260 attenuated acute tolerance at 1 h of alfentanil infusion by approximately 60%, 55%, and 70%, respectively, and by the end of 4-h infusion by 50%, 50%, and 25%, respectively. Use of 0.1 mg/kg dizocilpine and 10 mg/kg N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester attenuated acute tolerance at 1 h of alfentanil infusion by approximately 65% and 65% and by the end of 4-h infusion by 30% and 0%, respectively. Comparison of the results with CCK(B) receptor antagonists and inhibitors of NMDA-NO cascade demonstrates that both groups of drugs provide more or less similar degrees of attenuation of acute tolerance to the antinociceptive effect of alfentanil, and none of these drugs completely prevents tolerance development. IMPLICATIONS: The mechanism of acute tolerance to the analgesic effect of alfentanil depends on participation of multiple systems of adaptation that include cholecystokinin(B) receptors and N-methyl-D-aspartic acid-nitric oxide cascade. Drugs that inhibit function of these systems attenuate tolerance development.

Role of cholecystokinin in pancreatic bicarbonate secretion in dogs.

We investigated the effects of endogenous and exogenous cholecystokinin (CCK) on pancreatic exocrine secretion, in particular that of bicarbonate. In six dogs prepared with gastric cannulas and Thomas duodenal cannulas, intraduodenal administration of corn oil (Lipomul) incubated with hog pancreatic enzymes significantly increased pancreatic secretion of both bicarbonate and protein. Increase in pancreatic secretion of both bicarbonate and protein was accompanied by the increase in plasma CCK concentration. However, the increase in bicarbonate as well as protein secretion was blocked by proglumide, a CCK antagonist, given intravenously. In contrast, intraduodenal infusion of undigested Lipomul failed to stimulate the pancreatic exocrine secretion or release of endogenous CCK. These observations indicate that endogenous CCK plays an important role in secretion of both bicarbonate and protein stimulated by digested corn oil. In a group of four dogs with pancreatic fistulas, intravenous infusion of CCK potentiated the stimulatory effect of secretin on pancreatic bicarbonate secretion. The stimulatory effect as well as potentiating effect of CCK on pancreatic bicarbonate secretion was blocked by infusion of proglumide. We conclude that endogenous CCK plays a significant role in fat-stimulated pancreatic secretion, and it is apparent that both endogenous CCK and secretin are equally important for stimulation of pancreatic bicarbonate secretion, which results from potentiation of the action of the two hormones.

Interactions between antinociception induced by cholecystokinin antagonists and GABA agonists in the tail-flick test.

In this work, the influences of cholecystokinin receptor antagonists L-365,260, MK-329 and proglumide on antinociception induced by baclofen and GABA uptake inhibitor 4,5,6,7-tetrahydroisoxazolo [4,5-c]pyridin-3-ol (THPO) in the tail flick test has been studied. Baclofen and THPO induced antinociception in the tail flick test. Morphine, and the CCK receptor antagonists, MK-329, L-365,260 and proglumide also induced antinociception. The CCK receptor antagonists potentiated antinociceptive response induced by both baclofen and THPO. It may be concluded that cholecystokinin receptor mechanism(s) may interact with antinociception induced by GABA receptor mechanism(s).

Interactions of cholecystokinin, beta-endorphin, and their antagonists on passive avoidance behavior in rats.

The effects of cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8), cholecystokinin tetrapeptide amide (CCK-4), beta-endorphin, proglumide, and naloxone on passive avoidance behavior were studied in rats. Intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection of beta-endorphin (1-10 micrograms) had no significant influence on the latency of the avoidance response in intact rats. Also, beta-endorphin (0.05-5 micrograms, i.c.v.) did not affect the response in rats treated with electroconvulsive shock (ECS). The preventive effect of CCK-8 (0.1-1.0 micrograms, i.c.v.) on ECS-induced amnesia was partly antagonized by beta-endorphin (0.05-10 micrograms, i.c.v.). Intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of naloxone (1-10 mg/kg) could not prevent ECS-induced amnesia, but continuous subcutaneous infusion of this drug (2 mg/day, 7 days) completely abolished the amnesia. Naloxone (1 and 10 mg/kg, i.p.) also partly antagonized amnesia induced by proglumide (1 and 10 micrograms, i.c.v.) and prevented it when induced by CCK-4 (5 and 10 micrograms, i.c.v.). The results indicate the facilitating action of naloxone and the inhibitory effect of beta-endorphin on memory, suggesting that the endogenous opiate systems are involved in some way in the memory processes.

Endogenous cholecystokinin drives gallbladder emptying in dogs.

We investigated the effect of fat in the duodenum on the gallbladder emptying in seven dogs prepared with gastric, duodenal, and gallbladder cannulas. Gallbladder volume was measured at 15-min intervals, and venous blood samples were obtained at regular intervals for 2.5 h. Intraduodenal administration of Lipomul (pH 5.0, corn oil) in three different doses (1.1, 2.2, and 4.4 mmol/10 min) resulted in significant increases in gallbladder emptying in a dose-dependent manner (r = 0.8668, P less than 0.001). Likewise, the increase in integrated cholecystokinin (CCK) release in response to Lipomul was also dose dependent (r = 0.7334, P less than 0.001). A statistically significant correlation was found between integrated CCK release and gallbladder emptying in response to Lipomul (P less than 0.001). To determine the role of circulating endogenous CCK on gallbladder emptying effects of intravenous administration of proglumide and a rabbit anti-CCK serum on gallbladder emptying were studied. Gallbladder emptying was virtually abolished by the antiserum. Proglumide not only abolished the emptying but also increased gallbladder volume. Thus we conclude that in dogs the gallbladder emptying in response to fat in the upper small intestine depends on increased circulating endogenous CCK.

Receptor-mediated internalization and secretion of cholecystokinin into rat pancreatic duct fluid.

We measured cholecystokinin (CCK) in pancreatic duct secretions (PDS) after infusion of different amounts of CCK-8 (the C-terminal octapeptide of cholecystokinin) into rats. Injection of 23, 46, and 92 ng of CCK-8 increased immunoreactive cholecystokinin in PDS by 3-, 13-, and 28-fold above basal levels within 30 min. Continuous intravenous infusion of CCK-8 (50 ng/min) into rats for 30 min, followed by a 30-min rest period, and then a final infusion of peptide for another 30 min increased CCK in PDS only during the final period by 12-fold to 500 pg/30 min. Neither gastrin nor oxidized CCK-8 were detected in PDS after intravenous infusion of each peptide. Administration of proglumide (ip), a CCK receptor antagonist, during continuous CCK infusion significantly reduced immunoreactive CCK levels in PDS to 2% of the control group (P less than or equal to 0.01). CCK was also rapidly internalized into dispersed pancreatic acinar cells in a temperature-dependent fashion, and this process was inhibited by proglumide. The above data suggest that CCK in PDS reflects a peptide-specific process that is receptor mediated. We propose that circulating cholecystokinin binds to specific receptors on pancreatic acinar cells, is internalized, and is then secreted into pancreatic duct fluid.

Plasma secretin, CCK, and pancreatic secretion in response to dietary fat in the rat.

The role of fat in regulation of pancreatic secretion was studied in conscious rats by measuring pancreatic secretion and plasma cholecystokinin (CCK) and secretin responses to intraluminal infusion of fat, protein, or trypsin inhibitor via the duodenum. In rats with pancreatic juice continuously returned to the intestine, intraduodenal infusion of 20% emulsified fat (Liposyn), 10% casein, and 0.4% ovomucoid trypsin inhibitor (OMTI) stimulated equivalent increases of approximately threefold in pancreatic protein output. Proglumide reduced fat-stimulated pancreatic protein secretion by greater than 90% but did not inhibit the response to OMTI. Fat significantly increased plasma CCK from basal levels of 0.5 pM to 2-3 pM, but it was a weaker stimulant of CCK secretion than casein (peak CCK levels greater than 10 pM) or OMTI (peak CCK levels 5-6 pM). Fat significantly stimulated secretin release (21.7 pM) compared with casein (6.8 pM), OMTI (4.4 pM), and NaCl (3.5 pM). The inhibition of fat-stimulated pancreatic secretion by proglumide indicates that the small amounts of CCK released by fat are necessary for a normal pancreatic response, suggesting that this response may be the result of potentiation between secretin and small amounts of CCK.

Properties of receptors for gastrin and CCK on gastric smooth muscle cells.

Previous studies have demonstrated that cholecystokinin (CCK), gastrin, and structurally related peptides can interact with various types of receptors that can be distinguished by their relative affinities for agonists and antagonists. In the present study we examined the effect of gastrin, the COOH-terminal octapeptide of CCK (CCK-8), and the tetrapeptide of CCK (CG-4) on contraction of dispersed gastric smooth muscle cells from guinea pig and tested the ability of various CCK receptor antagonists to affect agonist-induced muscle cell contraction. For purposes of comparison we tested the effect of each antagonist on CCK-stimulated amylase secretion by pancreatic acini from guinea pig. On gastric smooth muscle cells, CCK-8, gastrin, and CG-4 were all full agonists. CCK-8 and gastrin were equipotent and CG-4 was 6,000-fold less potent. Each antagonist caused inhibition of CCK-stimulated contraction with relative potencies (IC50): L364,718 (4 microM) = CBZ-CCK-(27-32)-NH2 (3 microM) greater than proglumide analogue 10 (90 microM). Inhibition by each of the antagonists was competitive in nature, specific for CCK peptides, and each had the same IC50 whether contraction was stimulated by CCK-8, gastrin, or CG-4. Relative potencies (IC50) of the three antagonists for inhibiting CCK-stimulated amylase release from pancreatic acini were L364,718 (3 nM) greater than proglumide analogue 10 (200 nM) greater than CBZ-CCK-(27-32)-NH2 (3 microM). These results demonstrate that gastric smooth muscle cells possess receptors that differ from CCK receptors on pancreatic acini in terms of affinities for both agonists and certain antagonists.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Gastrin inhibits secretin-induced ductal secretion by interaction with specific receptors on rat cholangiocytes.

We assessed the effect of gastrin on ductal secretion in normal and bile duct-ligated (BDL) rats. The effect of gastrin on ductal secretion was examined in the presence of proglumide, a specific antagonist for gastrin receptor (GR). We isolated pure cholangiocytes from normal and BDL rats and assessed gastrin effects on secretin receptor (SR) gene expression and intracellular adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) levels. We examined the presence of GR mRNA in cholangiocytes by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). In normal or BDL rats, gastrin produced no changes in spontaneous bile secretion. Simultaneous infusion of gastrin inhibited secretin-induced choleresis and bicarbonate output in BDL rats. In the presence of proglumide gastrin did not inhibit secretin-induced choleresis in BDL rats. Gastrin decreased in cholangiocytes from BDL rats 1) SR gene expression and 2) secretin-induced cAMP levels. With the use of RT-PCR, GR mRNA was detected in cholangiocytes. Similar to what is shown for secretin and somatostatin, we propose that the opposing effects of secretin and gastrin on cholangiocyte secretory activity regulate ductal secretion in rats.

Endogenous and exogenous cholecystokinin may reduce food intake by different mechanisms.

To determine whether exogenous cholecystokinin (CCK) and endogenous CCK evoke different gastrointestinal motor responses, we investigated the motility induced by CCK by use of standard manometric methods. Injection (ip) of 500 ng/kg CCK caused immediate profound gastric inhibition and duodenal phasic excitation that did not resemble the postprandial pattern. Similar profound gastric inhibition has been associated with nausea. The contribution of endogenous CCK to the fed pattern of motility was investigated using proglumide; intraperitoneal injection of the antagonist before feeding caused no change, but injection before a second meal induced a decrease (P less than 0.025, n = 6) in gastric pressure with no accompanying duodenal change. This suggests that CCK causes an increase in gastric pressure that could result from a delay in gastric emptying. In support of this hypothesis, we have previously demonstrated, by use of proglumide, that endogenous CCK delays gastric emptying. Therefore exogenous CCK may reduce food intake by evoking an abnormal gastrointestinal motor pattern that may induce malaise, whereas endogenous CCK may decrease food intake by delaying gastric emptying, thus prolonging gastric satiety signals.

Healing-promoting action of teprenone, a new antiulcer agent on acetic acid ulcer in rats.

Healing promoting action of teprenone on acetic acid ulcer in rats was assessed in comparison to that of cimetidine and proglumide by histological measurements. Teprenone (100 mg/kg X 2/day, p.o.) decreased the macroscopic ulcer index and the defective area in the ulcerated region by 32.0% and 33.3%, respectively. In addition, this drug increased the decreasing index of exposed ulcer floor and the mucosal regeneration index by 28.1% and 38.0%, respectively. However, the thickness of the ulcer base and the development index of collagen fibers were little affected by this drug. Cimetidine (100 mg/kg X 2/day, p.o.) showed a 27.2% decreasing action on the macroscopic ulcer index and a 31.3% increasing action on the thickness of the ulcer base, but failed to increase the mucosal regeneration index. Specimens from the cimetidine-treated rats were characterized by marked granulation proliferation beneath the ulcer floor. The upper layer of the granulation tissue was very rich in inflammatory cells. Proglumide (250 mg/kg X 2/day, p.o.) was scarcely effective on any parameters. These results indicate that teprenone remarkably promotes the regeneration of the defective mucosa during the ulcer healing process, and the effectiveness of cimetidine according to the macroscopic observation may be due to excessive formation of granulation tissue in the defective region.

Possible involvement of the CCK receptor in the benzodiazepine antagonism to CCK in the mouse brain.

In mice, intraperitoneally injected chlordiazepoxide and proglumide, both of which are regarded as cholecystokinin (CCK) receptor antagonists in the peripheral tissues, dose-dependently inhibited the satiety induced by 200 ng of intracisternally administered CCK octapeptide (CCK8). Intraperitoneally administered diazepam (1 mg/kg) and/or Ro 15-1788 (5 mg/kg), a benzodiazepine antagonist, both prevented the elevation in the pain threshold induced by 1 microgram of CCK8. However, Ro 15-1788 did not antagonize the effect of diazepam that reversed the CCK-induced antinociception. Ro 15-1788 also inhibited the satiety induced by CCK8. From these results, it was considered that the antagonism, which was observed in the present work, of benzodiazepines and proglumide to CCK8 seemed to occur at the CCK receptor and not at the benzodiazepine receptor in the brain.
