Mechanisms of action of antisecretory drugs. Studies on isolated canine fundic mucosal cells.
Cellular mechanisms underlying the actions of antisecretory agents were studied with dispersed canine fundic cells; aminopyrine accumulation monitored parietal cell (PC) function. Canine PC have pharmacologically typical histamine (H) H2 and muscarinic (M) receptors. PC also have gastrin (G) receptors, which were selectively blocked by gastrin/CCK antagonists. Potentiating interactions occurred between secretagogues, one of the components of the interdependency between regulatory pathways. Prostaglandins (PG) E2 inhibited H-stimulated PC function. Treatment of PC with pertussis toxin (PT), which inactivates the inhibitory GTP-binding protein of adenylate cyclase (Gi), markedly reduced PG inhibition, indicating PG action via Gi. PC function can also be directly inhibited by H+/K+-ATPase inhibitors, such as omeprazole. When canine mucosal cells were studied, stimulatory G and inhibitory M receptors were present on fundic somatostatin (S) cells. Histamine was localized to canine fundic mast cells, which lacked G or M receptors, a conclusion that may not pertain to fundic histamine cells in other species. Nonparietal cell receptors may be important modulators of the regulation of acid secretion.
