Gastrin increases murine intestinal crypt regeneration following injury.
A number of growth factors affect the regeneration of intestinal epithelia following injury, but the effects of amidated gastrin have not previously been assessed. We therefore investigated the effects of gastrin on intestinal regeneration following a range of stimuli.. Intestinal crypt regeneration was assessed in transgenic mice overexpressing amidated gastrin (INS-GAS) and mice in which hypergastrinemia was induced using omeprazole, following gamma-radiation, 5-fluorouracil, and dextran sulphate sodium (DSS). Abundance of the CCK-2 receptor was assessed in intestinal epithelia and IEC-6 intestinal epithelial cells following gamma-radiation.. Four days following 14 Gy gamma-radiation, or 2 injections of 400 mg/kg 5-fluorouracil, INS-GAS mice exhibited significantly increased small intestinal and colonic crypt survival compared with their wild-type counterparts (FVB/N). INS-GAS mice treated with 3% DSS for 5 days showed less weight loss and increased colonic crypt regeneration at 8 days compared with FVB/N. Increased small intestinal and colonic crypt survival was also demonstrated following gamma-radiation in FVB/N mice rendered hypergastrinemic using omeprazole. The increased crypt survival in INS-GAS mice following 14 Gy gamma-radiation was inhibited by administration of a CCK-2 receptor antagonist (YF476). Increased abundance of the CCK-2 receptor was demonstrated in intestinal epithelia following 14 Gy gamma-radiation by Western blotting and immunohistochemistry. Similarly, increased CCK-2 receptor mRNA abundance and increased 125I-gastrin binding was demonstrated in IEC-6 cells following 4 Gy gamma-radiation.. Hypergastrinemia increases regeneration of intestinal epithelia following diverse forms of injury. Induction of the CCK-2 receptor in damaged epithelium confers potential for protection against injury by administration of gastrin.

Cholecystokinin-B/gastrin receptors enhance wound healing in the rat gastric mucosa.
Although physiological functions of the CCK-B/gastrin receptor are well explored, little is known about its role during healing. Here, we evaluated the role of this receptor in the rat oxyntic mucosa following the introduction of a cryoulcer. In this model, we located and quantified CCK-B/gastrin receptors by reverse transcriptase PCR and receptor autoradiography. Rats with cryoulcers were treated with placebo, omeprazole, the CCK-B/gastrin receptor antagonist YF-476, omeprazole plus YF-476, gastrin-17, and gastrin 17 plus YF-476. During wound healing, CCK-B/gastrin receptors were specifically expressed and localized to the regenerative mucosal ulcer margin. This high expression was limited in time, and the pattern of expression of CCK-B/gastrin receptors correlated closely with the proliferative activity of the regenerative mucosa. Functionally, omeprazole and gastrin-17 caused profound hypergastrinemia, increased cell proliferation in the mucosal ulcer margin and accelerated the late ulcer healing phase. These effects were completely reversed by cotherapy with YF-476. These in vivo and vitro data suggest that CCK-B/gastrin receptors in regenerative rat gastric oxyntic mucosa enhance trophic effects during wound healing.
