title: Effects of histamine and activators of the cyclic AMP system on protein synthesis in and release of high molecular weight glycoproteins from isolated gastric non-parietal cells.
abstract: 1. Glycoprotein and protein synthesis in and release from pig isolated, enriched gastric mucous cells were measured by the incorporation of N-acetyl-[14C]-D-glucosamine and [3H]-L-leucine, respectively, into cellular and released acid precipitable material. 2. Histamine and activators of the adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP) system maximally stimulated total protein and glycoprotein synthesis in and release from the cells at concentrations of histamine (10 microM), forskolin (10-100 microM), 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (100 microM), and dibutyryl cyclic AMP (1-3 mM), respectively. In the presence of 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (30 microM) histamine stimulation was enhanced. 3. As shown by gel chromatography, stimulation by histamine (100 microM), forskolin (10 microM), 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (100 microM) and dibutyryl cyclic AMP (1 mM) resulted in a release of high molecular weight (approximately 2 x 10(6) daltons) glycoproteins from the cells. The histamine H2-receptor antagonist, ranitidine (100 microM), blocked the effect of histamine. 4. We conclude that cyclic AMP-dependent processes are involved in the regulation of protein and glycoprotein synthesis in and the release of high molecular weight (mucous) glycoproteins from pig gastric non-parietal cells and that histamine may be a physiological activator of this system.
