title: Antisecretory mechanisms of peptide YY in rat distal colon.
abstract: Peptide YY (PYY) is a potent regulator of intestinal secretion. These studies investigated the role of Y1 and Y2 receptor subtypes in mediating the antisecretory effects of PYY on mucosa-submucosa preparations of rat distal colon. Addition of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) to these tissues resulted in a 140 +/- 18% increase in basal short-circuit current (Isc) and the induction of Cl- secretion. VIP-stimulated increases in Isc were abolished by the addition of each of PYY, (Pro34)-PYY, a Y1 receptor-selective agonist, and PYY-(3-36), an endogenous Y2 receptor-selective ligand. However, when tissue neural transmission was blocked with tetrodotoxin, neither PYY nor its receptor subtype-selective analogs were able to inhibit VIP-stimulated increases in Isc. These results suggest that in the rat distal colon, the antisecretory actions of PYY are mediated through a combination of Y1 and Y2 receptor subtypes or through a novel receptor subtype that is unable to discriminate between (Pro34)-PYY and PYY-(3-36).
