  • Title: Inhibition of parietal cell H+ secretion by transforming growth factor alpha: a possible autocrine regulatory mechanism.
    Author: Lewis JJ, Goldenring JR, Modlin IM, Coffey RJ.
    Journal: Surgery; 1990 Aug; 108(2):220-6; discussion 226-7. PubMed ID: 2382222.
    Abstract:
    Transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF alpha) and TGF alpha/epidermal growth factor receptor messenger ribonucleic acid have recently been demonstrated in isolated parietal cells. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of TGF alpha on basal and stimulated secretion in vitro with the isolated rabbit parietal cell model. Acid secretion was assessed indirectly with cell uptake of carbon 14-labeled aminopyrine [( 14C]AP). TGF alpha (10(-11) to 10(-7) mol/L) had no effect on unstimulated [14C]AP uptake. TGF alpha dose dependently inhibited histamine (10(-5) to 10(-6) mol/L)-stimulated but not forskolin (10(-5) to 10(-7) mol/L)-stimulated [14C]AP uptake. This effect on histamine-stimulated activation was reversed by pertussis toxin (200 ng/ml) before incubation. TGF alpha had no effect on carbachol (10(-5) to 10(-6) mol/L)-stimulated [14C]AP uptake. Specific HCO3-buffer studies demonstrated that these observations were independent of extracellular buffer and possible TGF alpha effects on intracellular pH. Our data indicate that TGF alpha inhibits acid secretion by specifically uncoupling histamine/cyclic adenosine monophosphate transduction at the guanosine triphosphate-binding protein. TGF alpha, unlike epidermal growth factor, has no effect on carbachol stimulation, which suggests a qualitative difference between the biologic actions of TGF alpha and epidermal growth factor. Possible autocrine-paracrine modulation of histamine stimulation by TGF alpha invokes a novel regulatory mechanism of parietal cell secretion.
