  • Title: Aminopyrine uptake by guinea pig gastric mucosal cells. Mediation by cyclic AMP and interactions among secretagogues.
    Author: Batzri S, Dyer J.
    Journal: Biochim Biophys Acta; 1981 Jul 17; 675(3-4):416-26. PubMed ID: 6268193.
    Abstract:
    The role of cyclic nucleotides in regulating acid secretion by dispersed mucosal cells from guinea-pig stomach was examined by measuring first the ability of histamine and carbachol to stimulate [dimethylamine-14C]aminopyrine uptake and cyclic nucleotide metabolism and secondly, the effect of exogenous cyclic nucleotides on basal and stimulated [14C]aminopyrine uptake. The [14C]aminopyrine was found in an acidic, osmotically sensitive compartment, probably associated with the initial steps in acid secretion by these cells. Although histamine increased [14C]aminopyrine uptake and cyclic AMP synthesis as expected, histamine was approx. 10-fold more potent in inducing [14C]aminopyrine uptake. This dissociation of [14C]aminopyrine uptake and cyclic AMP metabolism process was further manifested by the observation that prostaglandin E1 failed to increase [14C]aminopyrine uptake, although it did cause a rise in cellular cyclic AMP. Furthermore, prostaglandin E1 did not alter the [14C]-aminopyrine uptake caused by histamine. Carbachol was found to increase the [14C]aminopyrine uptake and also to potentiate the ability of histamine to increase [14C]aminopyrine uptake. Carbachol, however, affected neither the histamine-induced increase in cyclic AMP nor the binding of [3H]histamine to the cells. Cimetidine, a histamine H2 receptor antagonist, blocked the [14C]aminopyrine uptake induced either by histamine alone or by the potentiating combination of histamine plus carbachol. These results suggest that cyclic AMP is mediating the action of histamine on [14C]aminopyrine uptake but changes in cyclic AMP per se are not necessarily the cause for the potentiated increase in [14C]aminopyrine uptake. Furthermore, the potentiated response observed with histamine plus carbachol on [14C]aminopyrine uptake occurs at a biochemical step distal to and not obviously related to cyclic AMP generation.
