RESUMO
Isolated canine G cells in primary culture have been used to study calcium, protein kinase C (PKC), and rho/cytoskeletal-dependent intracellular pathways involved in bombesin- stimulated gastrin release. A method to obtain highly purified G cells by culture (64% G cells) after flow cytometry on elutriated fractions of cells from digested canine gastric antral mucosa has been developed. Pretreatment of G cells with thapsigargin (10(-8)-10(-6) M) and release experiments in Ca2+-containing or -depleted media showed that influx of Ca2+ into the cells and not acute release from intracellular stores plays an important role in bombesin-stimulated gastrin release. Inhibition of PKC by the specific inhibitor GF 109 203X did not affect bombesin-stimulated release. Rho, a small GTP-binding protein that regulates the actin cytoskeleton, is specifically antagonized by Clostridium botulinum C3 exoenzyme. C3 (10 microg/ml) enhanced basal and bombesin-stimulated gastrin release by 315 and 266%, respectively. The importance of the cytoskeleton for regulation of gastrin release was emphasized by a more pronounced release of gastrin when the organization of the actin cytoskeleton was disrupted by cytochalasin D (5 x 10(-)7 and 10(-)6 M). Wortmannin, a potent inhibitor of phosphoinositide-3-kinase, did not alter bombesin-stimulated gastrin release. Thus, it is concluded that bombesin-induced gastrin release from canine G cells is stimulated by Ca2+ but not by PKC, and is enhanced by disruption of rho/cytoskeletal pathways.
