title: Degradation and processing of cholecystokinin in guinea pig fundic gastric glands.
abstract: The degradation of 125I-CCK8 in guinea pig fundic gastric glands was time and temperature dependent. At both 24 and 37 degrees C, dithiothreitol (DTT) and chloroquine reduced the degradation of the internalized 125I-CCK8. After 60 min of binding, DTT, chloroquine and DTT plus chloroquine together significantly reduced radioligand degradation by 43, 55 and 66%, respectively, compared to control at 24 degrees C, and these differences remained significant after 1, 2 and 3 hr of processing. Similar effects were noted at 37 degrees C. About 75% of the radioactivity appearing in the supernatant after 60 min of exocytosis at 37 degrees C represented degraded material as measured by both Sep-Pak chromatography and rebinding methods. DTT and chloroquine both significantly reduced the amounts of degraded radioligand exocytosed from these glands.
