Using semithin-thin sections five types of endocrine cells (serotonin-, somatostatin-, gastrin/ CCK-, glucagon- and bombesin-immunoreactive cells) have been characterized according to their immunocytochemical reaction and the ultrastructure of the secretory granules. Paper-100786.
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that 1) gastrin stimulates the gene and protein expression of COX-2 and HGF in human cultured gastric cancer cells and 2) gastrin shows antiapoptotic activity through the upregulation of Bcl-2 and survivin. Paper-10013279.
RNase protection assay detected the RNA for the gastrin/ CCK-B receptor in 11% of the carcinomas investigated, whereas the RNA for the gastrin/ CCK- C receptor was demonstrated in 75% and the RNA for gastrin in 86% of the carcinomas investigated. Paper-403942.
This effect was blocked by the specific CCK-B receptor antagonist D2 but not by the specific CCK-A receptor antagonist L-364,718 or by pertussis toxin, indicating that gastrin targets the SRE via specific CCK-B receptors through a mechanism independent of Gi. Paper-1213938.
Preclinical studies, initiated to identify biological functionality of G17DT-induced antibodies, confirmed that the antibodies both reduced G17 stimulated gastric acid secretion and inhibited gastrin from interacting with the CCK-2 receptor. Paper-9096573.
Double-tailed lipo-tetragastrin derivatives of increasing fatty acid chain length were used to identify the minimum size of the fatty acid moieties (> or = C10) that restricts the access to the CCK-B/ gastrin ( CCK: cholecystokinin) receptor via a membrane-bound pathway. Paper-991751.
It has been assumed that mutations in the K-ras gene induce gastrin gene expression and that gastrin stimulates the growth of colorectal cancer in an autocrine fashion by coexpressing gastrin and cholecystokinin (CCK)2 receptors. Paper-10384578.
A kinase-inactive mutant PAK1(K299A) blocked the gastrin- stimulated dissociation of beta-catenin from E-cadherin, translocation of beta-catenin from the cell membrane to the nucleus, and association of beta-catenin with the transcription factor TCF4. Paper-12991725.
I conclude that the 78-kDa gastrin-binding protein is (i) a member of the hydratase/dehydrogenase family of fatty acid oxidation enzymes, (ii) the gastrin/ CCK- C receptor, and (iii) the target for the antiproliferative action of two gastrin/ CCK receptor antagonists. Paper-8203454.
Cholecystokinin (CCK)-8 and human gastrin I ( gastrin) were found to be almost equipotent in displacing the specific binding of not only 125I-CCK-8 but also 125I-gastrin to both ECL carcinoid tumor and parietal cell membranes of Mastomys natalensis. Paper-7822546.
Endogenous PG generated at ulcer margin appear to be involved in ulcer healing promoted by growth factors and gut hormones such as gastrin or CCK and melatonin acting, at least in part, through increase of induction of COX-2 and local release of PGE(2) in the ulcer area. Paper-11534567.
While CCK appears to be a negative regulator of gastric acid secretion and postprandial release of gastrin in the normal human gastrointestinal tract, its impact on the pathogenesis of acid hypersecretion in Helicobacter pylori-infected individuals remains uncertain. Paper-10679040.
CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest the therapeutic usefulness of inhibitors of gastrin expression and release such as powerful somatostatin analogs ( Sandostatin) or blockers of COX-2 (coxibs) in the control of GC development and progression as chemopreventive agents. Paper-9964684.
G-17- induced degradation of PPARgamma appeared to be mediated through phosphorylation of PPARgamma at serine 84 by a process involving the biphasic phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor ( EGFR). Paper-12012624.
The results of these studies demonstrate that the trophic properties of gastrin in CRC may be mediated in part by transactivation of the EGFR and phosphorylation of ERK1/2, leading to degradation of PPARgamma protein and a decrease in PPARgamma activation. Paper-12012624.
Inappropriate expression of hGH occurred in a high percentage (greater than 80%) of secretin, gastrin, cholecystokinin, and gastric inhibitory peptide producing enteroendocrine cells present in the intact jejunum of 4-6-wk-old L-FABP-596 to +21/ hGH transgenics. Paper-7114661.
Our data support the concept that gastrin stimulates gastric acid secretion directly via CCK-B receptors on parietal cells and indirectly by inducing histamine release from histamine-containing ECL cells, which contributes to acid secretion by parietal cells. Paper-8487177.
Gastrin/ cholecystokinin (G/CCK)-like peptides cross-reacting with an antiserum specific for the carboxyamide terminal pentapeptide of gastrin and CCK have been detected in the eyestalks and in the stomach of the prawn Palaemon serratus using immunocytochemical methods. Paper-5502498.
CEB also presents effective healing action in chronic gastric disease (1.90+/-0.55 vs. 6.86+/-0.46 mm(2) in the control) and its action mechanisms consisted of increasing the PGE(2) (40%) and somatostatin levels (269%) while decreasing the gastrin level in rat plasma (79%). Paper-13573023.
We conclude that the major gastrin17gly binding site on the human colorectal carcinoma cell line DLD-1 is clearly distinct from the cholecystokinin-A and gastrin/cholecystokinin-B receptors, but is similar in some respects to the gastrin/ cholecystokinin- C receptor. Paper-8943130.
Nevertheless the observed receptor interaction of the deliberately membrane-anchored gastrin offers interesting constraints for computational docking experiments on a modelled CCK-B/ gastrin receptor by additionally taking into account information derived from mutagenesis studies. Paper-1112737.
The effects of somatostatin (growth hormone release inhibiting hormone) on basal gastrin were studied in patients suffering from pernicious anaemia and chronic renal and liver disease, and during sequential arginine/insulin-stimulated gastrin release in normal subjects. Paper-2270424.
There was a shift in the distribution of the molecular species, so that 6 hours after SMS treatment nearly 50% of total gastrin activity was accounted for by BBG and component I. SMS seems to have a different potency to inhibit release of the various gastrin molecular species. Paper-5464643.
It is proposed that gastrin acting in an autocrine and endocrine manner via a CCK-2R isoform may activate PKB/Akt and that with expression of gastrin and CCK-2R isoforms increasing in BM samples, gastrin may aid progression of BM through amplification of antiapoptotic pathways. Paper-10207489.
CONCLUSIONS: While sst2A receptors on antral gastrin cells presumably mediate somatostatin inhibition of gastrin secretion, the effects of somatostatin on motility and ion transport in the lower gastrointestinal tract may be mediated by sst2A receptors in the neural plexus. Paper-10622771.
Exocytosis of histamine following gastrin stimulation and Ca(2+) entry across the plasma membrane is catalyzed by synaptobrevin and synaptosomal-associated protein of 25 kDa, both characterized as a soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor protein. Paper-8317674.

The addition of somatostatin inhibited the rate of acid secretion as compared with placebo alone in the control subjects (p < 0.025) without altering the concentration of immunoreactive gastrin in the serum but reducing the concentration of immunoreactive gastrin in gastric juice (p < 0.02). Paper-3649258.
Lipidation with long-chain di-fattyacyl-glycerol moieties was used to anchor gastrin in CCK peptides irreversibly to lipid bilayers lipopeptide transfer to model phospholipid bilayers is fast and quantitative, leading to a different mode of insertion of lipo- gastrin and lipo- CCK in lipid layers. Paper-1112737.
We conclude that inhibition of gastrin- stimulated acid secretion by partially pure cholecystokinin preparations can be explained by their cholecystokinin content and that previously reported differences in inhibitory potencies may be explained by nonspecific adsorption to glass from protein-free solutions. Paper-4054125.
Cholecystokinin (CCK)-A and CCK-B/ gastrin receptors were evaluated with in vitro receptor autoradiography in 406 human tumors of various origins using a sulfated 125I- labeled CCK decapeptide analogue 125I-(D-Tyr-Gly, Nle28,3l)-CCK 26-33 and 125I-labeled Leu15-gastrin as radioligands. Paper-951706.
The expression of the CCK-A receptor in esophageal, gastric and colon cancers and of the CCK-B/ gastrin receptor in the majority of gastric adenocarcinomas screened may be an important indicator of the influence of CCK and gastrin of local or systemic origin on the growth of these cancers. Paper-1200794.
Enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells play a pivotal role in the peripheral regulation of gastric acid secretion as they respond to the functionally important gastrointestinal hormones gastrin and somatostatin and neural mediators such as pituitary adenylate cyclase- activating peptide and galanin.

The production of hormones and local messengers such as 5-hydroxytryptamine, gastrin, cholecystokinin, somatostatin, secretin, gastric inhibitory peptide ( GIP), enteroglucagon (glicentin, GLI), motilin, neurotensin, substance P and the enkephalins, by these cells, has been established. Paper-3920159.
Because somatostatin ( SS) inhibits basal and stimulated gastric acid secretion and gastrin release, it is conceivable that decreased gastric SS concentration may be one of the factors responsible for hypergastrinemia found in patients formerly operated on for hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS). Paper-634460.
Moreover, sst2A cells were found abundantly in the neural plexus. sst2A receptors on antral gastrin cells could mediate somatostatin inhibition on gastrin secretion, whereas those in the neural plexus could mediate somatostatin effects on motility and ion transport in the lower gastrointestinal tract. Paper-10255848.
This review discusses the consequences of disrupting genes that are important for ECL cell histamine release and synthesis ( HDC, gastrin, and CCK(2) receptor genes) and genes that are important for "cross-talk" between H(2) receptors and other receptors on the parietal cell (CCK(2), M(3), and sst(2) receptors). Paper-12214488.
In order to define the gastrin- binding sites of the GBP in greater detail, we have constructed a truncation mutant lacking residues 221-318 of the N-terminal domain and a series of point mutants in which the lysine residues in the first 220 residues of the N-terminal domain were mutated to arginine residues. Paper-9144500.
Gastrin secretion is regulated by a cholinergic neuron that causes inhibition of somatostatin secretion and thus stimulation of gastrin secretion (disinhibition) and a noncholinergic neuron that causes direct stimulation of gastrin secretion by releasing the neurotransmitter, bombesin (or gastrin-releasing peptide). Paper-6602459.
The cholecystokinin receptor antagonist loxiglumide did not attenuate pancreatic enzyme response but diminished antral motor response by 72% (P less than 0.05) and release of pancreatic polypeptide by 91% (P less than 0.05); it enhanced gastrin release and abolished retardation of reappearance of phase III with sham feeding. Paper-7429704.
In the liver, 10 types of peptidergic nerve fibers were detected: glucagon-, glucagon-like peptide- ( GLP), somatostatin-, neuropeptide Y- ( NPY), vasoactive intestinal polypeptide-, neurotensin-, gastrin/ cholecystokinin C-terminus-, substance P-, serotonin-, and galanin-immunoreactive nerve fibers. Paper-7874950.
Our data demonstrate that gastrin- stimulated PKD2 activation involves a heterotrimeric G alpha(q) protein as well as the activation of phospholipase C. Furthermore, we show that PKD2 can be activated by classical and novel members of the protein kinase C (PKC) family such as PKC alpha, PKC epsilon, and PKC eta. Paper-9167970.
Two structurally-related guanine nucleotide-binding protein-coupled receptors for two related peptides, cholecystokinin ( CCK) and gastrin, have evolved to exhibit substantial diversity in specificity of ligand recognition, in their molecular basis of binding these ligands, and in their mechanisms of biochemical and cellular regulation. Paper-12877728.
Glycine-extended gastrin induced a dose-dependent increase in [3H]thymidine uptake in LoVo (143 +/- 8% versus control at 10(-10) M) and HT 29 (151 +/- 11% versus control at 10(-10) M) cells that was not inhibited by PD 134308 or by a mitogen- activated protein (MAP) or ERK kinase ( MEK) inhibitor (PD 98509). Paper-1923432.
Since somatostatin inhibits basal and stimulated gastric acid secretion and gastrin release, it is conceivable that decreased gastric somatostatin concentration may be one of the factors responsible for gastric hypersecretion found in patients who have undergone long-term pylorotomy for hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. Paper-7950673.
CONCLUSION: In the present study, we have shown that Z-360 combined with gemcitabine can inhibit pancreatic tumor growth and prolong survival in a pancreatic carcinoma xenograft model, on a possible mode of action being the inhibition of gastrin- induced PKB/Akt phosphorylation through blockade of the CCK-2 receptor. Paper-12750103.
Immunocytochemical examination revealed a fourfold increase in insulin-positive cells in the human pancreatic cell grafts in GLP-1 plus gastrin-treated mice, and most of this increase was accounted for by the appearance of cytokeratin 19-positive pancreatic duct cells expressing insulin. Paper-12953476.
It is concluded that (a) there is a distinct cephalic phase of gastropancreatic secretion, antroduodenal motility, and pancreatic polypeptide release in humans that is primarily under cholinergic control and that (b) endogenous cholecystokinin is involved in antral motor, gastrin, and pancreatic polypeptide responses to sham feeding. Paper-7429704.
Another derivative of cyclic GMP, 8-Bromo cGMP used as control due to its considerably weaker affinity for the gastrin/ CCK receptor, did not compete with radiolabeled gastrin for binding to HCT 116 cells and had no effect on the morphology or proliferation in monolayer cultures of HCT 116 or CBS cells at concentrations up to 10 mM. Paper-6600654.
These data indicate that endogenous cholecystokinin inhibits gastric acid secretion under basal conditions and gastrin release and gastric acid secretion during infusion of bombesin in humans and suggest that the augmented effect of loxiglumide on bombesin-stimulated gastric acid secretion may be explained largely by enhanced gastrin release. Paper-7295741.
These include wingless-type MMTV ( mouse mammary tumor virus) integration site family member 7A ( WNT7A) induced by IFNT, as well as galectin, proteases, protease inhibitors, transporters for glucose and amino acids, gastrin releasing polypeptide, insulin-like growth factor binding protein 1 and a hypoxia inducible factor. Paper-13510589.
CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that endogenous CCK released by a fatty meal delays gastric emptying and inhibits gastric acid and plasma gastrin responses in healthy subjects, but in DU patients the inhibitory effect of CCK is less pronounced, suggesting a defect in the action of this hormone on gastrin release and gastric acid secretion. Paper-7986667.
To investigate whether the effects of progastrin observed in hGAS colon require the presence of other forms of circulating gastrin, we have crossed hGAS ( hg(+/+)) with gastrin knockout ( G(-/-)) mice to generate mice that express progastrin and no murine gastrin (G(-/-)hg(+/+)). Paper-11195737.
