title: Differential effects of somatostatin and its analog on protein tyrosine kinases activity in the rat pituitary and the murine colonic tumors.
abstract: The effects of the native somatostatin-14 (SST-14) and of its analog octreotide (OCT) on the activity of protein tyrosine kinases (PTK) in the normal rat anterior pituitary gland, diethylstilbestrol (DES)-induced rat pituitary tumor and murine colonic cancer Colon 38 were studied in vitro. PTK activity was estimated in tissue homogenates using gamma-[32P]ATP and poly (Glu80, Tyr20) as a substrate. It was found that both SST-14 and OCT suppressed the PTK activity in all examined tissues. The suppressive effect was more pronounced in DES-induced pituitary tumor than in normal anterior pituitary gland, and in the former, OCT was more effective than SST-14. In contrast, SST-14 stronger suppressed PTK activity in colonic cancer than OCT. We hypothesize that SST-14 acts on PTK activity in colonic cancer mainly via SSTR-1 subtype of somatostatin receptors.
