PEARSE From the Department ofHistochemistry, Royal Postgraduate Medical School, Hammersmith Hospital, London, and the Department ofPhysiology, University ofBritish Columbia, Vancouver, Canada SUMMARY Indirect immunofluorescence studies using an antiserum to purified porcine gastric inhibitory polypeptide indicate, in the gastrointestinal tract of dog and man, that this polypeptide is present in cells situated predominantly in the mid-zone of the glands in the duodenum and, to a lesser extent, in the jejunum. Absolute correlation of the gastric inhibitory polypeptide cell with one or other of the known endocrine-like cells identified by electron microscopy awaits confirmation by electron immunocytochemistry. It is here identified as an endocrine polypeptide cell of the APUD series and, provisionally, as the D, cell. While the hormonal status of a given polypeptide depends ultimately on physiological experiments the present results strengthen the view that gastric inhibitory polypeptide is indeed a hormone. In 1969 Brown, Pederson, Jorpes, and Mutt described We report here the results of immunofluorescence an enterogastrone, extractable from porcine intestine, studies on the localization of GIP in human and http://gut.bmj.com/ which strongly inhibited gastric acid secretion.

Denning1* 1234567890():,; Gut microbiota and their metabolites are instrumental in regulating intestinal homeostasis. However, early-life microbiota associated influences on intestinal development remain incompletely understood. Here we demonstrate that co-housing of germ-free (GF) mice with specific-pathogen free (SPF) mice at weaning (exGF) results in altered intestinal gene expression. Our results reveal that one highly differentially expressed gene, erythroid dif- ferentiation regulator-1 (Erdr1), is induced during development in SPF but not GF or exGF mice and localizes to Lgr5+ stem cells and transit amplifying (TA) cells. Erdr1 functions to induce Wnt signaling in epithelial cells, increase Lgr5+ stem cell expansion, and promote intestinal organoid growth. Additionally, Erdr1 accelerates scratch-wound closure in vitro, increases Lgr5+ intestinal stem cell regeneration following radiation-induced injury in vivo, and enhances recovery from dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colonic damage. Col- lectively, our findings indicate that early-life microbiota controls Erdr1-mediated intestinal epithelial proliferation and regeneration in response to mucosal damage. 1 Center for Inflammation, Immunity & Infection, Institute for Biomedical Sciences, Georgia State University, 100 Piedmont Ave, Atlanta, GA 30303, USA. 2 Neuroscience Institute and Institute for Biomedical Sciences, Georgia State University, Atlanta, Georgia, USA. 3 INSERM, U1016, Paris, France. 4 Université de Paris, Paris, France.

The endocrine islets of Langerhans which secrete: Hormone Type of cell % of secretion Insulin Beta cells 60% crucial for normal regulation of glucose, Glucagon Alpha cells ~25% lipid & protein metabolism Somatostatin delta cells ~10% 1. Acinar gland tissues which produce pancreatic juice (the main source of digestive enzymes). • The pancreatic digestive enzymes are secreted by pancreatic acini. • Large volumes of sodium Bicarbonate solution are secreted by the small ductules and larger ducts leading from the acini. • Pancreatic juice is secreted in Response to the presence of Chyme in the upper portions of the small intestine. 2. Major Components of Pancreatic Secretion and Their Physiologic Roles & 5. Activation of Pancreatic Enzymes • The major functions of pancreatic secretion: 1. To neutralize the acids in the duodenal chyme to optimum range (pH= 7.0-8.0) for activity of pancreatic enzymes. 2. To prevent damage to duodenal mucosa by acid & pepsin. 3. To produce enzymes involved in the digestion of dietary carbohydrate, fat, and protein. Pancreatic Enzymes: The pancreas secrests enzymes that act on all major types of food stuffs. 1. Pancreatic Proteolytic Enzymes (Trypsin, Chymotrypsin, Carboxypolypeptidase, Elastase) • Trypsin & Chymotrypsin split whole and partially digested proteins into peptides of various sizes but do not cause release of individual amino acids. • Carboxypolypeptidase splits some peptides into individual amino acids, thus completing digestion of some proteins to amino acids. • When first synthesized in the pancreatic cells, digestive enzymes are in the inactive forms; these enzymes become activated only after they are secreted into the intestinal tract.

Its primary effect is to regulate the pH of the duodenal contents via the control of gastric acid secretion and buffering with bicarbonate. Secretin stimulates the secretion of bile from the liver. It also increases watery bicarbonate solution from pancreatic duct epithelium. Pancreatic acinar cells have secretin receptors in their plasma membrane. As secretin binds to these receptors, it stimulates adenylate cyclase activity and converts ATP to cyclic AMP.[12] Cyclic AMP acts as second messenger in intracellular signal transduction and leads to increase in release of watery carbonate.It is known to promote the normal growth and maintenance of the pancreas. Secretin increases water and bicarbonate secretion from duodenal Brunner's glands in order to buffer the incoming protons of the acidic chyme.[13] It also enhances the effects of cholecystokinin to induce the secretion of digestive enzymes and bile from pancreas and gallbladder, respectively. It counteracts blood glucose concentration spikes by triggering increased insulin release from pancreas, following oral glucose intake.<[14] It also reduces acid secretion from the stomach by inhibiting gastrin release from G cells.[citation needed] This helps neutralize the pH of the digestive products entering the duodenum from the stomach, as digestive enzymes from the pancreas (eg, pancreatic amylase and pancreatic lipase) function optimally at neutral pH.[citation needed] In addition, secretin simulates pepsin secretion which can help break down proteins in food digestion.

  • Reciprocal Regulation of Antral Gastrin and Somatostatin Gene Expression by Omeprazole-Induced Achlorhydria
    Reciprocal regulation of antral gastrin and somatostatin gene expression by omeprazole-induced achlorhydria. S J Brand, D Stone J Clin Invest. 1988;82(3):1059-1066. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI113662. Research Article Gastric acid exerts a feedback inhibition on the secretion of gastrin from antral G cells. This study examines whether gastrin gene expression is also regulated by changes in gastric pH. Achlorhydria was induced in rats by the gastric H+/K+ ATPase inhibitor, omeprazole (100 mumol/kg). This resulted in fourfold increases in both serum gastrin (within 2 h) and gastrin mRNA levels (after 24 h). Antral somatostatin D cells probably act as chemoreceptors for gastric acid to mediate a paracrine inhibition on gastrin secretion from adjacent G cells. Omeprazole-induced achlorhydria reduced D-cell activity as shown by a threefold decrease in antral somatostatin mRNA levels that began after 24 h. Exogenous administration of the somatostatin analogue SMS 201-995 (10 micrograms/kg) prevented both the hypergastrinemia and the increase in gastrin mRNA levels caused by omeprazole-induced achlorhydria. Exogenous somatostatin, however, did not influence the decrease in antral somatostatin mRNA levels seen with achlorhydria. These data, therefore, support the hypothesis that antral D cells act as chemoreceptors for changes in gastric pH, and modulates somatostatin secretion and synthesis to mediate a paracrine inhibition on gastrin gene expression in adjacent G cells.

Brand and Deborah Stone Departments ofMedicine, Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital, Gastrointestinal Unit, Boston, Massachusetts Abstract Substantial evidence supports the hypothesis that gastric acid inhibits gastrin secretion through somatostatin released Gastric acid exerts a feedback inhibition on the secretion of from antral D cells (9, 10).
