Modulation of secretin release by neuropeptides in secretin-producing cells.
Nerve fibers containing bombesin (BB)/gastrin-releasing polypeptide (GRP), pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP), vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), or galanin are known to innervate the mucosa of the upper small intestine. Both BB/GRP and PACAP have been shown to elicit secretin secretion in vivo. We studied whether the above-mentioned neuropeptides can act directly on secretin-producing cells, including the murine neuroendocrine cell line STC-1 and a secretin cell-enriched preparation isolated from rat upper small intestinal mucosa. Secretin release from both cell types was stimulated by various agents known to elicit secretin release and by the neuropeptides BB, GRP, and PACAP, suggesting a comparable response between the two cell preparations. The effects of neuropeptides were further studied in STC-1 cells. BB, GRP, and PACAP stimulated secretin release time and concentration dependently. VIP also stimulated secretin release concentration dependently. Stimulation by BB/GRP or PACAP was accompanied by elevation of inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) or cAMP, respectively. The stimulatory effect of PACAP on secretin release was synergistically enhanced by BB without any synergistic increase in IP3 or cAMP production, suggesting cross talk between different signal transduction pathways downstream of the production of these two second messengers. The L-type Ca2+ channel blocker diltiazem (10 microM) and the Ca2+ chelator EGTA (1 mM) significantly inhibited BB-stimulated secretin release by 64% and 59%, respectively, and inhibited PACAP-stimulated release by 75% and 55%, respectively. The protein kinase A-specific inhibitor Rp-cAMPS (100 microM) also inhibited both BB- and PACAP-stimulated secretin release by 30% and 62%, respectively. Galanin inhibited BB- and PACAP-stimulated secretin release and production of second messengers in a concentration-dependent and pertussis toxin-sensitive manner. These results suggested that the neuropeptides BB/GRP, PACAP, VIP, and galanin can modulate secretin release in secretin-producing cells and that STC-1 cells can serve as a useful model for studying the cellular mechanism of secretin secretion elicited by luminal secretagogues and neuropeptides.
