title: Effect of somatostatin-14 on duodenal mucosal bicarbonate secretion in guinea pigs.
abstract: The role of somatostatin-14 in duodenal mucosal HCO3- secretion was investigated in anesthetized, indomethacin-treated guinea pigs. Net HCO3- output from the isolated, perfused (24 mM NaHCO3 + 130 mM NaCl) proximal duodenum was measured during intravenous infusion (alone or in combination) of somatostatin-14, carbachol, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). In homogenates of duodenal enterocytes, the effect of these agents on adenylate cyclase activity was studied. Basal duodenal HCO3- secretion (3.5 +/- 0.2 mumol/cm/10 min) was reduced dose dependently by somatostatin-14 (10(-11) mol/kg, 10(-9) mol/kg, and 10(-7) mol/kg). Carbachol, VIP, and PGE2 (all 10(-8) mol/kg) increased basal duodenal HCO3- secretion two- to threefold. Somatostatin-14 (10(-7) mol/kg) abolished the stimulatory effect of carbachol and VIP, but not that of PGE2. Basal adenylate cyclase activity in isolated duodenal enterocytes (9.4 +/- 1.0 pmol cAMP/mg protein/min) was unaltered by somatostatin (10(-6) mol/liter) or carbachol (10(-3) mol/liter). VIP (10(-8) mol/liter) and PGE2 (10(-7) mol/liter) increased adenylate cyclase activity two- to threefold, and these effects were unchanged by somatostatin-14 (10(-6) mol/liter). In conclusion, somatostatin-14 inhibits basal and carbachol- and VIP-stimulated duodenal HCO3- secretion, and its mechanism of action is not via inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity in duodenal enterocytes.
