  • Title: Receptors for vasoactive intestinal peptide and secretin on guinea pig pancreatic acini.
    Author: Zhou ZC, Gardner JD, Jensen RT.
    Journal: Peptides; 1987; 8(4):633-7. PubMed ID: 2819833.
    Abstract:
    We investigated the abilities of VIP and secretin to occupy receptors and to increase cellular cyclic AMP using dispersed acini from guinea pig pancreas. The dose-inhibition curve for inhibition of binding of 125I-VIP by VIP was broad with detectable inhibition at 0.1 nM VIP, half-maximal inhibition at 2 nM VIP and complete inhibition at 10 microM VIP. Secretin also inhibited binding of 125I-VIP was compatible with two VIP-preferring receptors with one class having a high affinity for VIP (Kd 1.1 nM) and a low affinity for secretin (Kd 5 microM) and the other class having an intermediate affinity for VIP (Kd 470 nM). The dose inhibition curve for inhibition of binding of 125I-secretin by secretin was not broad. Half-maximal inhibition occurred with 7 nM secretin or with 10 microM VIP. Computer analysis was compatible with a single secretin-preferring receptor with a high affinity for secretin (Kd 7 nM) and a low affinity for VIP (Kd 5.9 microM). Comparison of the ability of VIP to increase cyclic AMP with or without the secretin-receptor antagonist, secretin-5-27, demonstrated only occupation of the high affinity VIP-preferring or high affinity secretin-preferring receptors increase cyclic AMP. Our results demonstrate that, in contrast to previous reports, guinea pig pancreatic acini possess 3 classes of receptors that interact with VIP and secretin. The low affinity receptor seen with 125I-VIP is not the same as the secretin-preferring receptor and does not increase cellular cyclic AMP.
