title: Pancreatic secretagogues regulate somatostatin binding to acinar cell membranes via two-functionally distinct pathways.
abstract: Pretreatment of pancreatic acini with vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) or secretin for 120 min reduced subsequent [125I-Tyr1]somatostatin binding to membranes prepared from these acini, with a maximally reduced binding being 79.2% or 77.4% of control, respectively. In addition, exogenously added cyclic AMP derivatives or a phosphodiesterase inhibitor mimicked the effect of VIP or secretin. Scatchard analysis of [125I-Tyr1]somatostatin binding demonstrated that the decrease in the labeled somatostatin binding induced by VIP or dibutyryl cyclic AMP (dbcAMP) pretreatment was due to the decrease in the maximum binding capacity without a significant change in the binding affinity. The effect of simultaneous pretreatment of acini with VIP and carbamylcholine (carbachol) on subsequent labeled somatostatin binding appeared to be almost equal to the calculated additive value for each peptide. Results obtained, therefore, indicate that the binding of somatostatin to its receptors in the pancreas may be regulated via two functionally distinct pathways.
