title: Functional CCK-A and Y2 receptors in guinea pig esophagus.
abstract: Effects of cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8), peptide YY (PPY), neuropeptide Y (NPY) and their analogs on muscle contractions of esophageal strips were investigated. CCK-8 induced a tetrodotoxin and atropine-sensitive contraction. The relative potencies for CCK related peptides to induce contractions were CCK-8 > desulfated CCK-8 > gastrin-17-I. The CCK-A receptor antagonist L-364,718 was 300-fold more potent than the CCK-B receptor antagonist L-365,260 at inhibiting CCK-8-induced contraction. These indicate that neural CCK-A receptors mediate this contraction. PYY or NPY did not cause muscle contraction or inhibit muscle contraction induced by carbachol, endothelin-1 or KCl. However, both PYY and NPY concentration-dependently inhibited contraction induced by CCK-8. This inhibition was not affected by nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitors L-NMMA or L-NAME. The relative potencies of PYY related peptides to inhibit CCK-8 induced contraction were PYY > NPY > NPY13-36 > [Leu(31), Pro(34)]NPY > pancreatic polypeptide (PP). We conclude that CCK interacts with neural CCK-A receptors to cause esophageal muscle contraction. PYY and NPY interact with Y2 receptors to inhibit this CCK-induced muscle contraction by an effect not related to NO.
