USA 83 (1986) 3511 brains were sliced fresh under a stereomicroscope and the regions were removed by the Palkovits' "punch" technique (22). The tissue samples were placed in ice-cold 0.1 M HC1 and sonicated. The homogenates were neutralized with 0.1 M NaOH and assayed directly for CCK8 immunoreactivity by a RIA as described (23). The homogenates were kept ice-cold during the whole procedure. RESULTS In addition to the first described magnocellular CCK cells, our immunocytochemical studies also revealed a large pop- ulation ofparvocellular CCK8 immunoreactive neurons in the PVN. This group of cells could only be visualized in adre- nalectomized rats that received colchicine (120 jig) intraven- tricularly 2 days prior to being killed. Examination of adja- cent serial sections (data not shown), as well as restaining of the same sections, revealed that many of these CCK8 immunopositive cell bodies also contain VP-associated NP and CRF (Fig. 1). To study the functional significance ofthis coexistence, we measured ACTH release from primary cultures of anterior pituitary and determined brain CCK8, levels after adrenal- ectomy. Our in vitro studies showed a dose-dependent stimulatory effect of CCK8 on ACTH release; CCK8 caused increases of 41%, 47%, and 147% in ACTH secretion over basal levels at concentrations of 10-11, 10-9, and 10-7 M, respectively (Table 1). CCK8 did not seem to affect release of ACTH induced by CRF, which by itself produces as great a release of ACTH as we could observe. However, CCK8 and VP together were able to release almost as much ACTH as a maximally effective dose of CRF (Table 1). Adrenalectomy did not appear to affect CCK8 turnover in magnocellular neurons; there was no change in CCK8 immunoreactivity in the supraoptic nucleus or posterior pituitary of adrenalectomized rats (Table 2). On the other hand, adrenalectomy caused a marked decrease in CCK8 levels in the ME and a modest, but significant, reduction in the PVN. DISCUSSION The above results show that CCK8 coexists with CRF in cells of the parvocellular subdivision of the PVN. Earlier studies have indicated that these same cells also produce VP in response to adrenalectomy (24-26). Our data show that CCK8, VP-NP and CRF coexist in some PVN cells. Since VP-NP and VP itself are always colocalized in the same neurosecretory vesicles (27), the VP-NP immunopositivity indicates the presence of VP in the cells. Corticotropin-releasing hormone (28) is the most potent FIG. 1.

  • Expression and Localization of Gastrin Messenger RNA and Peptide in Spermatogenic Cells
    Expression and localization of gastrin messenger RNA and peptide in spermatogenic cells. M Schalling, … , T Hökfelt, J F Rehfeld J Clin Invest. 1990;86(2):660-669. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI114758. Research Article In previous studies we have shown that the gene encoding cholecystokinin (CCK) is expressed in spermatogenic cells of several mammalian species. In the present study we show that a gene homologous to the CCK-related hormone, gastrin, is expressed in the human testis. The mRNA hybridizing to a human gastrin cDNA probe in the human testis was of the same size (0.7 kb) as gastrin mRNA in the human antrum. By in situ hybridization the gastrinlike mRNA was localized to seminiferous tubules. Immunocytochemical staining of human testis revealed gastrinlike peptides in the seminiferous tubules primarily at a position corresponding to spermatids and spermatozoa. In ejaculated spermatozoa gastrinlike immunoreactivity was localized to the acrosome. Acrosomal localization could also be shown in spermatids with electron microscopy. Extracts of the human testis contained significant amounts of progastrin, but no bioactive amidated gastrins. In contrast, ejaculated sperm contained mature carboxyamidated gastrin 34 and gastrin 17. The concentration of gastrin in ejaculated human spermatozoa varied considerably between individuals. We suggest that amidated gastrin (in humans) and CCK (in other mammals) are released during the acrosome reaction and that they may be important for fertilization.

Tomasik*, Krystyna Sztefko and Zdzislaw Szafran Department of Clinical Biochemistry, University Children`s Hospital, Krakow, Poland Abstract: Background: It is known that the low ambient temperature causes a considerable increase of appetite. The mechanisms underlying the changes of the amounts of the ingested food in relation to the environmental temperature has not been elucidated. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the short exposure to low ambient temperature on the plasma concentration of leptin and cholecystokinin. Methods: Sixteen healthy men, mean age 24.6 ± 3.5 years, BMI 22.3 ± 2.3 kg/m2, participated in the study. The concen- trations of plasma CCK and leptin were determined twice – before and after the 30 min. exposure to + 4 °C by using RIA kits. Results: The mean value of CCK concentration before the exposure to low ambient temperature was 1.1 pmol/l, and after the exposure 0.6 pmol/l (p<0.0005 in the paired t-test). The mean values of leptin before exposure (4.7 ± 1.54 μg/l) were also significantly lower than after the exposure (6.4 ± 1.7 μg/l; p<0.0005 in the paired t-test). However no significant cor- relation was found between CCK and leptin concentrations, both before and after exposure to low temperature. Conclusions: It has been known that a fall in the concentration of CCK elicits hunger and causes an increase in feeding activity.

Current approaches to management are suboptimal. Recent studies have established that the cardiovascular response to a meal is modulated profoundly by gastrointestinal factors, including the type and caloric content of ingested meals, rate of gastric emptying, and small intestinal transit and absorption of nutrients. The small intestine represents the major site of nutrient-gut interactions and associated neurohormonal responses, including secretion of glucagon-like peptide-1, glucose- dependent insulinotropic peptide and somatostatin, which exert pleotropic actions relevant to the postprandial haemodynamic profile. This review summarises knowledge relating to the role of these gut peptides in the cardiovascular response to a meal and their potential application to the management of PPH.

  • What Is Pancreatic Polypeptide and What Does It Do?
    What is Pancreatic Polypeptide and what does it do? This document aims to evaluate current understanding of pancreatic polypeptide (PP), a gut hormone with several functions contributing towards the maintenance of energy balance. Successful regulation of energy homeostasis requires sophisticated bidirectional communication between the gastrointestinal tract and central nervous system (CNS; Williams et al. 2000). The coordinated release of numerous gastrointestinal hormones promotes optimal digestion and nutrient absorption (Chaudhri et al., 2008) whilst modulating appetite, meal termination, energy expenditure and metabolism (Suzuki, Jayasena & Bloom, 2011). The Discovery of a Peptide Kimmel et al. (1968) discovered PP whilst purifying insulin from chicken pancreas (Adrian et al., 1976). Subsequent to extraction of avian pancreatic polypeptide (aPP), mammalian homologues bovine (bPP), porcine (pPP), ovine (oPP) and human (hPP), were isolated by Lin and Chance (Kimmel, Hayden & Pollock, 1975). Following extensive observation, various features of this novel peptide witnessed its eventual classification as a hormone (Schwartz, 1983). Molecular Structure PP is a member of the NPY family including neuropeptide Y (NPY) and peptide YY (PYY; Holzer, Reichmann & Farzi, 2012). These biologically active peptides are characterized by a single chain of 36-amino acids and exhibit the same ‘PP-fold’ structure; a hair-pin U-shaped molecule (Suzuki et al., 2011). PP has a molecular weight of 4,240 Da and an isoelectric point between pH6 and 7 (Kimmel et al., 1975), thus carries no electrical charge at neutral pH. Synthesis Like many peptide hormones, PP is derived from a larger precursor of 10,432 Da (Leiter, Keutmann & Goodman, 1984). Isolation of a cDNA construct, synthesized from hPP mRNA, proposed that this precursor, pre-propancreatic polypeptide, comprised 95 residues (Boel et al., 1984) and is processed to produce three products (Leiter et al., 1985); PP, an icosapeptide containing 20-amino acids and a signal peptide (Boel et al., 1984).

    Plasma Hormones Facilitated the Hypermotility of the Colon in a Chronic Stress Rat Model Chengbai Liang, Hesheng Luo*, Ying Liu, Jiwang Cao, Hong Xia Department of Gastroenterology, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University, Wuhan, China Abstract Objective: To study the relationship between brain-gut peptides, gastrointestinal hormones and altered motility in a rat model of repetitive water avoidance stress (WAS), which mimics the irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Methods: Male Wistar rats were submitted daily to 1-h of water avoidance stress (WAS) or sham WAS (SWAS) for 10 consecutive days. Plasma hormones were determined using Enzyme Immunoassay Kits. Proximal colonic smooth muscle (PCSM) contractions were studied in an organ bath system. PCSM cells were isolated by enzymatic digestion and IKv and IBKca were recorded by the patch-clamp technique. Results: The number of fecal pellets during 1 h of acute restraint stress and the plasma hormones levels of substance P (SP), thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), motilin (MTL), and cholecystokinin (CCK) in WAS rats were significantly increased compared with SWAS rats, whereas vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) in WAS rats were not significantly changed and peptide YY (PYY) in WAS rats was significantly decreased. Likewise, the amplitudes of spontaneous contractions of PCSM in WAS rats were significantly increased comparing with SWAS rats. The plasma of WAS rats (100 ml) decreased the amplitude of spontaneous contractions of controls. The IKv and IBKCa of PCSMs were significantly decreased in WAS rats compared with SWAS rats and the plasma of WAS rats (100 ml) increased the amplitude of IKv and IBKCa in normal rats.

M M Wolfe, … , G M Reel, J E McGuigan J Clin Invest. 1983;72(5):1586-1593. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI111117. Research Article Somatostatin-containing cells have been shown to be in close anatomic proximity to gastrin-producing cells in rat antral mucosa. The present studies were directed to examine the effect of secretin on carbachol-stimulated gastrin release and to assess the potential role of somatostatin in mediating this effect. Rat antral mucosa was cultured at 37 degrees C in Krebs-Henseleit buffer, pH 7.4, gassed with 95% O2-5% CO2. After 1 h the culture medium was decanted and mucosal gastrin and somatostatin were extracted. Carbachol (2.5 X 10(-6) M) in the culture medium increased gastrin level in the medium from 14.1 +/- 2.5 to 26.9 +/- 3.0 ng/mg tissue protein (P less than 0.02), and decreased somatostatin-like immunoreactivity in the medium from 1.91 +/- 0.28 to 0.62 +/- 0.12 ng/mg (P less than 0.01) and extracted mucosal somatostatin-like immunoreactivity from 2.60 +/- 0.30 to 1.52 +/- 0.16 ng/mg (P less than 0.001). Rat antral mucosa was then cultured in the presence of secretin to determine its effect on carbachol-stimulated gastrin release. Inclusion of secretin (10(-9)-10(-7) M) inhibited significantly carbachol-stimulated gastrin release into the medium, decreasing gastrin from 26.9 +/- 3.0 to 13.6 +/- 3.2 ng/mg (10(-9) M secretin) (P less than 0.05), to 11.9 +/- 1.7 ng/mg (10(-8) secretin) (P less than 0.02), and to 10.8 +/- 4.0 ng/mg (10(-7) M secretin) (P less than […] Find the latest version: https://jci.me/111117/pdf Inhibition of Gastrin Release by Secretin Is Mediated by Somatostatin in Cultured Rat Antral Mucosa M.

  • Gastrointestinal Hormone Actions in the Central Regulation of Energy Metabolism: Potential Sensory Roles for the Circumventricular Organs
    International Journal of Obesity (2009) 33, S16–S21 & 2009 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 0307-0565/09 $32.00 www.nature.com/ijo REVIEW Gastrointestinal hormone actions in the central regulation of energy metabolism: potential sensory roles for the circumventricular organs TD Hoyda, PM Smith and AV Ferguson Department of Physiology, Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada A variety of circulating signals provide essential information to the central nervous system (CNS) regarding nutritional status. The gastrointestinal system produces many such molecules that are now known to have profound effects on feeding behavior and the control of metabolism as a consequence of their ability to regulate the neural circuitry involved in metabolic homeostasis. Although many of these substances have been suggested to directly access such brain centers, their lipophobic characteristics suggest that alternative mechanisms should be considered. In this paper, we consider one such alternative, namely, that a specialized group of CNS structures collectively known as the sensory circumventricular organs (CVOs), which are not protected by the normal blood–brain barrier, may play important roles in such blood to brain communications. Specifically, we review a developing literature that shows receptors for, and functional actions of, gastrointestinal hormones such as amylin, cholecystokinin, ghrelin and peptide YY in the area postrema and subfornical organ. Collectively, these observations suggest potentially significant roles for the sensory CVOs in the regulation of energy balance.

  • Distribution of the Gut Hormones in the Primate Intestinal Tract
    Gut: first published as 10.1136/gut.20.8.653 on 1 August 1979. Downloaded from Gut, 1979, 20, 653-659 Distribution of the gut hormones in the primate intestinal tract M. G. BRYANT AND S. R. BLOOM From the Department of Medicine, Royal Postgraduate Medical School, Hammersmith Hospital, London SUMMARY Reliable and specific radioimmunoassays have been developed for the gut hormones secretin, gastrin, cholecystokinin, pancreatic glucagon, VIP, GIP, motilin, and enteroglucagon. Using these assays, the relative pattern of distribution of the gut hormones has been determined using the same bowel extracts for all measurements. VIP occurred in high concentration in all regions of the bowel, whereas secretin, GIP, motilin, and CCK were predominantly localised in the proximal small intestine. Pancreatic glucagon was almost exclusively confined to the pancreas. Like VIP, enteroglucagon also exhibited a wide pattern of distribution but was maximal in the ileum. The acid ethanol extraction method that was used was found to be unsuitable for gastrin. On gel chromatography of the extracts, motilin and VIP eluted as single molecular species in identical position to the pure porcine peptides. CCK, pancreatic glucagon, enteroglucagon and GIP were all multiform. Over the last decade the development of radio- peptide throughout the primate intestinal tract immunoassays for the gut hormones has allowed using the same bowel extracts for all measurements. their quantitative measurement both in plasma and in tissue.
