PG - 249-58 AB - AIM: To investigate the functional and molecular mechanisms by which sulfated cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8S) regulates calcium mobilization in gastric antral smooth muscle cells (SMCs) of rats. METHODS: Isotonic contraction of antral strips was recorded using a polyphysiograph. Immunoprecipitation was used to determine the regulatory effect of protein kinase C (PKC) on regulating the phosphorylation of the type III inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate receptor (InsP(3)R3) in gastric SMCs. Alterations in the intracellular calcium ([Ca(2+)](i)) concentration were assayed using fura-2/AM-loaded microspectrofluorometry, and the L-type calcium current (I(Ca-L)) was recorded by patch-clamp techniques. RESULTS: CCK-8S (5 x 10(-8) mol/l) significantly increased the mean contractile amplitude of circular muscle by 61.85 +/- 12.67% and the frequency of longitudinal muscle by 57.91 +/- 15.70% in gastric antral strips, which were suppressed by dexloxiglumide or thapsigargin (TG) and BAPTA-AM (BA). Treatment with chelerythrine (5 x 10(-8) mmol/l) significantly inhibited the CCK-8S-increased phosphorylation of InsP(3)R3 in SMCs. The amplitudes of the CCK-8S-triggered [Ca(2+)](i) concentration oscillations were reduced in a dose-dependent manner when the SMCs were pretreated with increasing concentrations of PMA (from 10(-8) to 10(-5) mol/l). On removal of extracellular calcium or blocking I(Ca-L) by nifedipine, a smaller but significant rise in the [Ca(2+)](i) concentration was still elicited by CCK-8S. When [Ca(2+)](i) was depleted by the administration of 10(-5) mol/l TG and 10(-5) mol/l BA or blocked by the calcium-dependent chloride current (I(Cl-Ca)) by giving 5 x 10(-6) mol/l niflumic acid, the CCK-8S-intensified I(Ca-L) (from -56.42 +/- 6.57 to -88.54 +/- 5.71 pA) was apparently inhibited by 90.34 +/- 4.71% and 82.59 +/- 4.24%. CONCLUSIONS: These results demonstrate that the CCK-8S-evoked [Ca(2+)](i) concentration increase in gastric antral SMCs depends on the release of [Ca(2+)](i) stores which are negatively regulated by PKC-mediated phosphorylation of InsP(3)R3. Released calcium in turn activates I(Ca-L) through the activation of I(Cl-Ca), ultimately resulting in the contraction of the gastric smooth muscle. CI - Copyright (c) 2006 S. Karger AG, Basel.
