Comparative effects of GLP-1-(7-36) amide, oxyntomodulin and glucagon on rabbit gastric parietal cell function.

We have investigated in vitro, the effects of glucagon-like peptide-1-(7-36) amide (GLP-1-(7-36) amide), oxyntomodulin and glucagon on two rabbit parietal cell-enriched fractions (F3, F3n), with parietal cell contents of 60% and 88%, respectively. Histamine (10(-5) M) stimulated [14C]aminopyrine accumulation to an amount of 850% in excess of the basal level, whereas GLP-1-(7-36) amide (10(-7) M) and oxyntomodulin (10(-6) M) induced increases of 50% and 30%, respectively. With a histamine concentration of 10(-6) M, [14C]aminopyrine accumulation was stimulated to 498% in excess of the basal level; GLP-1-(7-36) amide (10(-7) M) and oxyntomodulin (10(-7) M) induced increases of 18% and 15%, respectively. With these parameters, oxyntomodulin[19-37] and glucagon were without effect. Specific binding of [125I]GLP-1-(7-36) amide to parietal cell plasma membranes was inhibited dose-dependently by GLP-1-(7-36) amide, oxyntomodulin and glucagon with inhibitory concentrations of 0.25 nM, 65 nM and 800 nM, respectively. No specific binding of [125I]oxyntomodulin or [125I]glucagon was detectable. GLP-1-(7-36) amide receptor mRNA was only detected in parietal cell-enriched fractions. GLP-1-(7-36) amide, oxyntomodulin and glucagon stimulated parietal cell cAMP production to similar maximal levels with median values close to 0.28 nM, 10.5 nM and 331.7 nM, whereas oxyntomodulin[19-37] had no effect. The maximal cAMP production induced by GLP-1-(7-36) amide, oxyntomodulin or glucagon was additive to that induced by histamine.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Glucagon-like peptide-1-(7-36) amide, oxyntomodulin, and glucagon interact with a common receptor in a somatostatin-secreting cell line.

Glucagon-like peptide-1(7-36)amide (tGLP-1), oxyntomodulin (OXM), and glucagon are posttranslational end products of the glucagon gene expressed in intestinal L-cells. In vivo, these peptides are potent inhibitors of gastric acid secretion via several pathways, including stimulation of somatostatin release. We have examined the receptors through which these peptides stimulate somatostatin secretion using the somatostatin-secreting cell line RIN T3. tGLP-1, OXM, and glucagon stimulated somatostatin release and cAMP accumulation in RIN T3 cells to similar maximum levels, with ED50 values close to 0.2, 2, and 50 nM and 0.02, 0.3, and 8 nM, respectively. Binding of [125I]tGLP-1, [125I]OXM, and [125I]glucagon to RIN T3 plasma membranes was inhibited by the three peptides, with relative potencies as follows: tGLP-1 > OXM > glucagon. Whatever the tracer used, the IC50 for tGLP-1 was close to 0.15 nM and was shifted rightward for OXM and glucagon by about 1 and 2-3 orders of magnitude, respectively. Scatchard analyses for the three peptides were compatible with a single class of receptor sites displaying a similar maximal binding close to 2 pmol/mg protein. In the hamster lung fibroblast cell line CCL39 transfected with the receptor for tGLP-1, binding of [125I]tGLP-1 was inhibited by tGLP-1, OXM, and glucagon, with relative potencies close to those obtained with RIN T3 membranes. Chemical cross-linking of [125I]tGLP-1, [125I]OXM, and [125I]glucagon revealed a single band at 63,000 mol wt, the intensity of which was dose-dependently reduced by all three peptides. These data suggest that in the somatostatin-secreting cell line RIN T3, OXM and glucagon stimulate somatostatin release through a tGLP-1-preferring receptor. This suggests that some biological effects, previously described for these peptides, might be due to their interaction with this receptor.

Measurement of immunoreactive angiotensin-(1-7) heptapeptide in human blood.

BACKGROUND: The renal enzyme renin cleaves from the hepatic alpha(2)-globulin angiotensinogen angiotensin-(1-10) decapeptide [Ang-(1-10)], which is further metabolized to smaller peptides that help maintain cardiovascular homeostasis. The Ang-(1-7) heptapeptide has been reported to have several physiological effects, including natriuresis, diuresis, vasodilation, and release of vasopressin and prostaglandins. METHODS: To investigate Ang-(1-7) in clinical settings, we developed a method to measure immunoreactive (ir-) Ang-(1-7) in 2 mL of human blood and to estimate plasma concentrations by correcting for the hematocrit. A sensitive and specific antiserum against Ang-(1-7) was raised in a rabbit. Human blood was collected in the presence of an inhibitor mixture including a renin inhibitor to prevent peptide generation in vitro. Ang-(1-7) was extracted into ethanol and purified on phenylsilylsilica. The peptide was quantified by radioimmunoassay. Increasing doses of Ang-(1-7) were infused into volunteers, and plasma concentrations of the peptide were measured. RESULTS: The detection limit for plasma ir-Ang-(1-7) was 1 pmol/L. CVs for high and low blood concentrations were 4% and 20%, respectively, and between-assay CVs were 8% and 13%, respectively. Reference values for human plasma concentrations of ir-Ang-(1-7) were 1.0-9.5 pmol/L (median, 4.7 pmol/L) and increased linearly during infusion of increasing doses of Ang-(1-7). CONCLUSIONS: Reliable measurement of plasma ir-Ang-(1-7) is achieved with efficient inhibition of enzymes that generate or metabolize Ang-(1-7) after blood sampling, extraction in ethanol, and purification on phenylsilylsilica, and by use of a specific antiserum.

Validation of an hplc method for the determination of 1,7-dihydroxy-2,3-methylenedioxyxanthone in extracts obtained from Polygala cyparissias A. St. Hil. & Moq. (Polygalaceae) and evaluation of the influence of its content on the gastroprotective activity

Polygala cyparissias is a plant widespread in Southern Latin America. Recently, we demonstrated the gastroprotective activity of the extract, as well as for one of the isolated metabolites-1,7-dihydroxy-2,3-methylenedioxyxanthone (MDX). In this study, a HPLC method for the quantification of MDX was validated. The HPLC method was linear (0.5-24 µg mL-1 of MDX) with good accuracy, precision and robustness. The content of MDX in the extracts from whole and different parts of the plant ranged from 0 to 5.4 mg g-1 and the gastroprotective index ranged from 72.1 to 99.1%. Thus, the method might be used for the standardization of the extracts based on the MDX marker.
