title: Purification of two secretin-releasing peptides structurally related to phospholipase A2 from canine pancreatic juice.
abstract: We previously showed that canine pancreatic juice contains a secretin-releasing factor activity. In this study, we carried out isolation of two secretin-releasing peptides (SRPs) from canine pancreatic juice. Through ultrafiltration, anion and cation exchange, and reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) steps and an in vitro bioassay in STC-1 cells, two SRPs, SRP-1 and SRP-2, were isolated and purified to homogeneity. Both SRPs dose-dependently stimulated secretin release from STC-1 cells. The results of mass spectral analysis indicated that SRP-1 and SRP-2 had molecular masses of 14,061 Da and 14,053 Da, respectively. N-terminal amino acid sequence analysis indicated that SRP-1 was identical to canine pancreatic PLA2 in the 25 residues determined; whereas SRP-2 had 71% sequence homology to the enzyme in the first 21 residues. Commercially available porcine pancreatic PLA2 dose-dependently stimulated secretin release from STC-1 cells. Porcine pancreatic PLA2 also stimulated secretin release from a secretin-producing cells-enriched preparation isolated from rat duodenal mucosa. These results suggest that pancreatic PLA2 and its related peptide may participate in regulation of secretin secretion.
