Abstract
Unlike in rodents, CCK has not been established as a physiological regulator in avian exocrine pancreatic secretion. In the isolated duck pancreatic acini, 1 nM CCK was required for stimulation of amylase secretion, maximal effect being achieved at 10 nM; picomolar CCK was without effect. Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)/pituitary adenylate cyclase activating peptide (PACAP) receptor (VPAC) agonists PACAP-38 and PACAP-27 (10-12-10-7M) alone had no effect, but made picomolar CCK effective. VPAC agonist VIP 10-10-10-7M stimulated amylase secretion marginally, but made CCK 10-12-10-10M effective also. PACAP-27 and VIP both shifted the maximal CCK concentration from 10-8to 10-9M. This sensitizing effect was mimicked by forskolin. CCK dose dependently induced intracellular Ca2+concentration ([Ca2+]i) oscillations. PACAP-38 (1 nM), PACAP-27 (1 nM), VIP (10 nM), or forskolin (10 μM) alone did not stimulate [Ca2+]iincrease, neither did they modulate CCK (1 nM)-induced oscillations; but when they were added to cells simultaneously exposed to subthreshold CCK (10 pM), calcium spikes emerged. Amylase secretion induced by the simultaneous presence of 10 pM CCK and VPAC agonists was completely blocked by removing extracellular calcium, but the protein kinase C inhibitor staurosporine (1 μM) was without effect. CCK (10 nM)-induced secretion was inhibited by CCK1receptor antagonist FK480 (1 μM). Gastrin from 10-12to 10-6M did not stimulate amylase secretion nor did it (100 nM) induce [Ca2+]iincrease. The above data suggest that duck pancreatic acini possess both CCK1and VPAC receptors; simultaneous activation of both is required for each to play a physiological role.
