Evidence for a primary role for intracellular Ca2+ in the stimulation of pancreatic enzyme secretion is reviewed. Measurements of cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration have allowed direct demonstration of its importance in triggering enzyme secretion and defined the concentration range over which membrane Ca2+ pumps must work to regulate intracellular Ca2+. Current evidence suggests a key role for the Ca2+ Mg-ATPase of rough endoplasmic reticulum in regulating intracellular Ca2+ and accumulating a Ca2+ store which is released by the action of inositol-l,4,5 trisphosphate following stimulation of secretion.

During a 5-min incubation with increasing concentrations of cholecystokinin, enzyme secretion from pancreatic acini increased, became maximal at 1 nM cholecystokinin, and then decreased progressively to 65% of maximal with concentrations of cholecystokinin above 1 nM. During a 20-min incubation with increasing concentrations of cholecystokinin, enzyme secretion increased, became maximal at 0.3 nM cholecystokinin, and then decreased progressively to 40% of maximal with concentrations of cholecystokinin above 0.3 nM. The configuration of the dose-response curve for cholecystokinin-stimulated enzyme secretion did not change when the incubation time was increased from 20 to 30, 45, or 60 min. Concentrations of cholecystokinin that were supramaximal for stimulating enzyme secretion abolished the stimulation caused by other secretagogues that promote mobilization of cellular calcium (e.g., carbamylcholine, bombesin, physalaemin, or A23187), as well as that caused by secretagogues that elevate cellular cAMP (e.g., vasoactive intestinal peptide or secretin). The submaximal stimulation caused by supramaximal concentrations of cholecystokinin reflects what we have termed "restricted stimulation" of enzyme secretion. Secretion is than the basal rate of release and is "restricted" in the sense that enzyme release is submaximal and cannot be increased by adding another secretagogue.

The mechanism by which physiological concentrations of cholecystokinin (CCK) evoke pancreatic exocrine secretion in humans was investigated. CCK octapeptide (CCK-8) dose dependently increased trypsin and lipase output in healthy humans. Atropine inhibited CCK-8 (10 ng.kg-1.h-1)-stimulated trypsin output by 84.0 +/- 7.7% and lipase output by 78.6 +/- 9.2%. The inhibition with atropine was much less with a CCK-8 dose of 40 ng.kg-1.h-1 (41.8 +/- 6.6% for trypsin and 46.3 +/- 7.3% for lipase). CCK-8 at 10 ng.kg-1.h-1 produced plasma CCK levels similar to postprandial levels (6.0 +/- 1.3 vs. 6.9 +/- 0.8 pM), whereas the 40-ng.kg-1.h-1 dose produced supraphysiological levels (18.4 +/- 3.1 pM). To evaluate if CCK might act via stimulation of cholinergic nerves, in vitro studies were performed using rat pancreas. CCK-8 (10 nM-10 microM) stimulated [3H]acetylcholine release from pancreatic lobules that was blocked by tetrodotoxin, a calcium-free medium, and the CCK antagonist L364,718. In conclusion, CCK-stimulated pancreatic enzyme secretion is dependent on cholinergic neural and noncholinergic pathways. In humans, CCK infusions, which produce plasma CCK levels similar to those seen postprandially, stimulate the pancreas predominantly via a pathway dependent on cholinergic innervation. Correlative in vitro experiments suggest that CCK may act by stimulation of neural acetylcholine release. In contrast, supraphysiological CCK infusions act in part via noncholinergic pathways.

In the C-terminal heptapeptide of cholecystokinin (-Tyr(SO3H)-Met-Gly-Trp-Met-Asp-Phe-NH2), replacing the aspartic acid residue by beta-aspartic acid did not alter the ability of the peptide to cause stimulation, desensitization, or residual stimulation of enzyme secretion from dispersed pancreatic acini. Replacing the tyrosine sulfate residue by hydroxynorleucine sulfate did not alter the ability of the heptapeptide to cause stimulation or desensitization, but caused a 50-fold decrease in the potency with which the peptide caused residual stimulation of enzyme secretion. These findings suggest that a modification of the N-terminal region of cholecystokinin heptapeptide, which does not alter the ability of the peptide to bind to its receptor on pancreatic acini and by so doing cause stimulation and desensitization of enzyme secretion, can increase the rate at which the bound peptide dissociates when the acini are washed and reincubated. This increased dissociation is reflected by a reduction in the potency with which the peptide causes residual stimulation of enzyme secretion.

When pancreatic acini are first incubated with cholecystokinin, washed to remove free cholecystokinin, and then reincubated in fresh incubation solution, there is a significant residual stimulation of amylase secretion. Butyryl derivatives of cyclic GMP can prevent as well as reverse this cholecystokinin-induced residual stimulation. At 37 degrees C the nucleotide-induced reversal is complete within a few minutes, but at 4 degrees C complete reversal requires 90 min of incubation. The ability of butyryl cyclic GMP to reverse cholecystokinin-induced residual stimulation is itself fully reversible, and the nucleotide-induced reversal is accompanied by restoration of full responsiveness to cholecystokinin. The ability of dibutyryl cyclic GMP to reverse cholecystokinin-induced residual stimulation appears to result from the ability of the nucleotide to displace cholecystokinin from its receptors in pancreatic acini.
