title: Effects of colchicine and vinblastine on in vitro gastric secretion.
abstract: The effects of colchicine and vinblastine on in vitro bullfrog gastric mucosal preparations were studied with respect to H+ and pepsinogen secretion. In the concentration range of 1--50 mM, an initial but transient colchicine-mediated stimulation of H+ secretion is followed by a dose-dependent inhibition. The transient stimulation of H+ secretion can be confirmed in resting preparations in the absence of added secretagogues. In the same concentration range, colchicine inhibits pepsinogen secretion to a greater degree than H+ secretion. Vinblastine (10(-5)--5 X 10(-4) M) was more effective than colchicine in inhibiting both H+ and pepsinogen secretion. The kinetics of inhibition of secretion by both colchicine and vinblastine were slow. Cytochalasin B had no effect on either secretion.
