Vasoactive intestinal peptide augmentation of cholecystokinin-8-stimulated pepsinogen secretion: Evidence for dual modulation of chief cell function

Pepsinogen (PPG) secretion from chief cells (CC) is dually modulated by adenosine 3′: 5′-monophosphate (cAMP) and calcium second messenger systems. Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) stimulates cellular function by elevating intracellular levels of cAMP. In contrast, cholecystokinin-8 (CCK-8) acts...

Zusammenfassung:Pepsinogen (PPG) secretion from chief cells (CC) is dually modulated by adenosine 3′: 5′-monophosphate (cAMP) and calcium second messenger systems. Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) stimulates cellular function by elevating intracellular levels of cAMP. In contrast, cholecystokinin-8 (CCK-8) acts by producing a rise in intracellular calcium concentration. Consequently, it was the purpose of this study to test whether VIP (acting through cAMP-mediated systems) could augment CCK-8 (acting through calcium-dependent systems)-stimulated PPG secretion. Collagenase dispersed rabbit isolated gastric glands (IGG) were incubated alone (unstimulated) or with secretagogues for 30 min. VIP in graded doses of 10 −11 to 10 −7 M was used alone or in combination with CCK-8 (10 −9 M). PPG levels were determined using an assay based on pepsin hydrolysis of [ 14C]methemoglobin. Results are expressed as percentage of total pepsinogen (within the IGG) secreted above unstimulated levels. VIP alone (10 −11 to 10 −7) or CCK-8 alone (10 −9) did not significantly stimulate PPG secretion ( P>0.05). The combination of CCK-8 (10 −9 M) plus VIP (10 −7 M) significantly stimulated PPG secretion above unstimulated levels ( P < 0.05). Thus, the combination of VIP and CCK-8 produced greater PPG secretion than either secretagogue alone. These data support the hypothesis that secretagogues acting through either cAMP or calcium-mediated systems contribute to the regulation of PPG secretion from CC and that the two second messenger systems act in concert achieving at least additive effects.
