Acetylcholine regulates pancreastatin secretion from the human pancreastatin-producing cell line (QGP-1N).
Studies were made of pancreastatin (PST) secretion from a human PST-producing cell line (QGP-1N) in response to various secretagogues. Cells with immunoreactivity for PST were observed in monolayer cultures of QGP-1N cells. Carbachol stimulated PST secretion and the intracellular Ca2+ mobilization concentration dependently in the range of 10(-6)-10(-4) M. The PST secretion and Ca2+ mobilization induced by carbachol were inhibited by atropine. The calcium ionophore (A23187) stimulated PST secretion. However, cholecystokinin and gastrin-releasing peptide did not stimulate either PST secretion or Ca2+ mobilization. Secretin also did not stimulate PST secretion. The glucose concentration in the culture medium had no effect on PST secretion. These results suggest that PST secretion is mainly regulated by acetylcholine through a muscarinic receptor, and that an increase in intracellular Ca2+ plays an important role in stimulus-secretion coupling in QGP-1N cells.

Inhibitory effect of pancreastatin on pancreatic exocrine secretions. Pancreastatin inhibits central vagal nerve stimulation.
The effects of the C-terminal fragment of rat pancreastatin on exocrine pancreatic secretions induced by several neural stimulations [IV injection of 75 or 15 mg/kg of 2-deoxy-D-glucose (central vagal nerve stimulation), injection of 2 mg of cisapride (proposed to elicit acetylcholine release from cholinergic nerve ending), and infusion of 1 or 3 mg.kg-1.h-1 of bethanechol (direct stimulation of acinar cells)] were examined in conscious rats. Rats with external bile and pancreatic fistulae were used. All the stimulations caused significant increases in pancreatic exocrine secretions. Pancreastatin at 100 pmol.kg-1.h-1 inhibited pancreatic secretions stimulated by IV injection of 2-deoxy-D-glucose but not those induced by the infusion of bethanechol or the injection of cisapride. Because these findings showed that pancreastatin inhibited pancreatic secretions induced by central vagal nerve stimulation, the effect of pancreastatin on cholecystokinin-stimulated pancreatic secretions in vagotomized rats was examined. Pancreastatin at 100 pmol.kg-1.h-1 did not inhibit pancreatic secretions stimulated by cholecystokinin octapeptide at 100 pmol.kg-1.h-1 in conscious rats after bilateral truncal vagotomy. These results suggest that pancreastatin inhibits pancreatic exocrine secretions by inhibiting vagal efferent nerve activity.
