Stimulation of gastrin release by bombesin and canine gastrin-releasing peptides. Studies with isolated canine G cells in primary culture.

Abstract

Bombesin, a polypeptide derived from frog skin, has been shown to stimulate gastrin release from the gastric antrum in vivo and in vitro. To elucidate the mechanisms of this effect, we developed a method to culture isolated and enriched G cells from canine stomach. After digestion of antral mucosa with collagenase and EDTA, dispersed cells were fractionated by counterflow elutriation then cultured on a collagen support. Bombesin and three molecular forms of canine gastrin-releasing peptides all stimulated gastrin release from G cells in a dose-dependent manner. The effect of bombesin was suppressed by somatostatin and potentiated by dibutyryl cyclic AMP (10(-3) M) but not by carbachol (10(-6) M). Extracellular calcium depletion attenuated the stimulation of gastrin release by bombesin but not by forskolin. These findings suggest that the bombesin family peptides directly activate G cells through calcium-dependent mechanisms to cause gastrin release.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.

Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
