title: Soybean agglutinin stimulated cholecystokinin release from cultured rabbit jejunal cells requires calcium influx via L-type calcium channels.
abstract: We have studied the mechanism of soybean agglutinin (SBA) mediated cholecystokinin (CCK) release in enriched cultured cholecystokinin-secreting cells. 12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate 1 mM significantly stimulated release of CCK-like-immunoreactivity (CCK-LI) by 55%+/-17% (p < 0.05), which was blocked by the protein kinase C inhibitor staurosporine 100 nM. Forskolin 10 mM stimulated CCK-LI by 82%+/-12% (p < 0.05) and this was inhibited by somatostatin 1 nM. 1-Phenylalanine 20 mM and Bay K 8644 1 mM stimulated CCK-LI by 69%+/-22% and 60%+/-19% respectively (p < 0.05), these responses were completely abolished by the L-type calcium channel antagonist verapamil 10 mM. SBA 10 and 100 microg/ml stimulated CCK-LI by 65%+/-22% and 74%+/-24% respectively (p < 0.05). The effect of SBA was inhibited by verapamil and N-acetylgalactosamine. We conclude that SBA stimulates CCK-LI through calcium flux via L-type calcium channels.
