Role of PACAP1 Receptor in Regulation of ECL Cells and Gastric Acid Secretion by Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase Activating Peptide
2006
: We previously reported that PAC1 is expressed on ECL cells resulting in stimulation of [Ca2+]i, histamine and acid secretion. The study reported here characterized the signaling by PAC1m on ECL cells; determined the effects of PACAP on the gastric acid secretion in vivo, and determined the effects of chronic administration of PACAP-27 on ECL cell proliferation. PACAP-27 dose dependently stimulated ECL cell Ca2+ and AC with detectable stimulation at 1 nM and maximal stimulation at 100 nM (six-fold). In rats PACAP-27 administration (10 pmol/kg/h) increased the rate of gastric acid secretion when an antisomatostatin antibody was co-administered. Chronic administration of PACAP (10 pmol/h for seven days) via osmotic pump resulted in a more than twofold increase in BrdU incorporation into ECL cells. PACAP acting at the PAC1 results in dual signaling responses to both [Ca2+]i. AC in ECL cells stimulates gastric acid secretion via the actions of histamine acting at the parietal cell and in whole animals leads to proliferation of ECL cells when administered chronically.
