title: CCKA receptor antagonism inhibits mechanisms underlying CCK-8-stimulated insulin release in isolated rat islets.
abstract: The influence of the cholecystokinin (CCK)A receptor antagonist, L-364,718, on beta-cell activation was examined in isolated perifused prelabelled rat islets. Insulin secretion and 3H efflux from myo-[2-3H]inositol-prelabelled islets (reflecting phosphoinositide hydrolysis) stimulated by CCK-8 (100 nM) were both inhibited by L-364,718, partially at 1 nM and totally at 10 nM. 45Ca2+ efflux from prelabelled islets was markedly stimulated by CCK-8. This stimulation was inhibited equally by 1 and 10 nM L-364,718. CCK-8 stimulated the 86Rb+ efflux (reflecting K+ movements) from prelabelled islets, which probably reflects an indirect effect of CCK-8 due to opening of Ca(2+)-activated K+ channels. This 86Rb+ efflux was inhibited by L-364,718 at 10 nM but not affected by L-364,718 at 1 nM. It is concluded that insulin secretion, phosphoinositide hydrolysis, Ca2+ and K+ movements stimulated by CCK-8 in isolated islets are all events mediated by CCKA receptors. The L-364,718-induced inhibition of phosphoinositide hydrolysis was most closely correlated to the inhibition of insulin secretion. This suggests that induction of cellular events activated through stimulation of phosphoinositide hydrolysis is a major mechanism underlying CCK-8-stimulated insulin secretion.
