    Abstract:
    This study investigated the effects of two putative bombesin antagonists, [D-Arg1,D-Pro2,D-Trp7,9,Leu11]substance P and [Leu13-psi-CH2NH-Leu14]bombesin, on bombesin-stimulated gastrin release from isolated canine G cells following short-term culture. Canine antral tissue was dispersed by sequential collagenase and EDTA treatment, and counterflow elutriation was used to enrich for G cells. Plates were seeded with 2 x 10(6) cells/mL in each well and cultured for 2 days prior to testing. Gastrin-containing and somatostatin-containing cells were identified by immunocytochemistry using the biotin-avidin-peroxidase method and accounted for 8.5 and 1%, respectively, of adhered cells. Basal gastrin secretion was 1.91 +/- 0.48% of total cell content. After a 2-h incubation period, bombesin (0.01-100 pM) stimulated gastrin release in a concentration-dependent fashion. The substance P analog, at a concentration of 1 microM, modestly inhibited bombesin-stimulated gastrin release from canine G cells. This analog also produced weak stimulation of basal gastrin release. In contrast, the bombesin analog, at a concentration of 1 microM, did not affect basal gastrin secretion. The bombesin analog completely blocked bombesin-stimulated gastrin release from 0.01 to 1 pM and produced greater than 50% inhibition at higher doses. The ability of the bombesin analog to directly inhibit bombesin-stimulated gastrin release from cultured canine G cells underscores its usefulness in studies involving the role of bombesin and its mammalian counterpart, gastrin-releasing peptide, in the control of gastrin cell function.
