    Notes: Abstract Serial changes in the levels of cholecystokinin (CCK)-A receptor mRNA in the pancreas after pancreatic duct occlusion were examined in rats. CCK-A receptor mRNA level was determined by Northern blot analysis with a rat CCK-A-receptor cDNA probe. The level of CCK-A receptor mRNA first decreased, reaching the lowest level 7 days after occlusion, and then began to increase. On day 14, it had completely recovered to the control level and it remained at that level until 28 days after occlusion.

    Notes: Abstract The effects of the intraduodenal administration of a low dose of CR-1505 for 3–7 days on the gene expression of cholecystokinin (CCK), plasma CCK concentration, and CCK content in the intestinal mucosa were examined in rats. The simultaneous changes of protein and enzyme content in the pancreas were also determined. CR-1505 was infused continuously into the duodenum at a dose of 3 mg/kg per day, calculated to correspond to a dose of 150–200 mg/day in humans. Seven days after the administration of CR-1505, a liquid meal (4.5 kcal/3 ml) was introduced into the stomach and changes in the intestinal CCK content and plasma CCK concentration were examined. The level of CCK mRNA in the intestine was significantly higher in rats treated with CR-1505 than in control rats. The plasma CCK concentration, the CCK content of the intestinal mucosa, and the composition of pancreatic enzymes did not significantly differ in rats treated with CR-1505 and the untreated controls. In control rats, the administration of the liquid meal increased the plasma CCK concentration and significantly decreased the intestinal CCK content in water extracts, but did not affect the amount extracts in acid whereas the ingestion of the meal did not cause any significant changes in rats treated with CR-1505. These findings indicate that a low dose of CR-1505 stimulates the gene expression of CCK without enhancing CCK release or exerting an effect on the pancreas.

    Notes: Abstract Pancreatic exocrine secretion in conscious rats is regulated by intraluminal bile and/or pancreatic juice. Exclusion of bile and/or pancreatic juice from the intestinal lumen caused cholecystokinin (CCK) release and stimulated pancreatic secretion. CCK in the plasma is mainly derived from endocrine cells in the proximal small intestinal mucosa. We examined the changes in CCK concentrations in the intestinal mucosa and compared them to those of plasma CCK concentrations and the changes of luminal trypsin activities after bile and/or pancreatic juice diversion in conscious rats. Rats with bile and pancreatic fistulae were used. Each treatment of bile, pancreatic juice, and bile-pancreatic juice diversion decreased luminal trypsin activity and increased plasma and intestinal CCK concentrations. The potency of the stimulatory effect on plasma and intestinal CCK concentrations was bilepancreatic juice diversion〉pancreatic juice diversion≧bile diversion. Neither plasma CCK concentration nor intestinal CCK concentration was in inverse proportion to trypsin activity. The plasma CCK concentration did not parallel intestinal CCK concentration. Intravenous infusion of CCK-8 (300 pmol/kg/hr) did not increase CCK concentration in the intestinal mucosa. It was proposed that bile and/or pancreatic juice in the intestinal lumen regulated CCK concentrations not only in the plasma but also in the intestinal mucosa.

    Notes: Abstract Cholecystokinin, a brain gut peptide that stimulates gall bladder contraction and pancreatic exocrine secretion, also acts as a neurotransmitter. In this study, we demonstrated that small amounts of cholecystokinin precursor mRNA were expressed in the heart, lung, and kidney, as well as in the brain and the small intestine. The nucleotide sequences of the coding regions of the cholecystokinin precursor mRNA in these tissues were identical to those of the small intestine, indicating that cholecystokinin precursor proteins produced in these tissues are identical to those in small intestine. This is the first report demonstrating that the cholecystokinin precursor gene is expressed in the heart, lung, and kidney, as well as in the gastrointestinal tract and brain.

    Notes: Abstract The effects of a new cholecystokinin (CCK) antagonist (FK 480; 0.1 mg/kg per day given by intragastric administration to rats for 3 days) on the expression of the CCK and secretin genes, plasma CCK immunoreactivity, and CCK content in the intestinal mucosa were examined. FK 480 increased the level of CCK mRNA in the intestine to 1.7 times the level in control rats, but did not affect the level of secretin mRNA. It did not increase plasma CCK immunoreactivity or CCK content in the intestinal mucosa. These results suggest that the ingested FK 480 directly increased CCK mRNA level in the intestine and produced a dissociation between the synthesis and release of CCK.
