Platelet-activating factor stimulates gastric acid secretion in isolated rabbit gastric glands
1995
We examined the effect of platelet-activating factor (PAF) on gastric acid secretion by isolated rabbit gastric glands as determined by [14C]aminopyrine ([14C]AP) uptake. PAF, histamine, and carbachol time- and concentration-dependently stimulated [14C]AP uptake, with estimated half-maximal effective concentrations of 60 pM, 0.25 microM, and 0.1 microM, respectively. PAF-induced [14C]AP uptake was inhibited by the specific PAF antagonists BN-50727 and SR-27417 and by the proton pump inhibitors omeprazole and lansoprazole. However, the H2-receptor antagonist famotidine had no effect. Buffering extracellular Ca2+ by ethylene glycol-bis(beta-amino-ethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid resulted in a shift to the right of the time-course effect of PAF without altering the maximal response, whereas buffering intracellular Ca2+ by 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid 2-acetoxymethyl ester, as well as blocking Ca2+ channels by verapamil, inhibited PAF-induced [14C]AP uptake.
