We recently isolated and characterized 86-amino acid CCK-releasing peptide
from porcine intestinal mucosa. The sequence of this peptide is identical t
o that of porcine diazepam-binding inhibitor (DBI). Intraduodenal administr
ation of DBI stimulates the CCK release and elicits pancreatic secretion in
rats. In this study we utilized a murine tumor cell line (STC-1 cells) tha
t contains CCK to examine if DBI directly acts on these cells to stimulate
CCK release. We investigated the cellular mechanisms responsible for this a
ction. We showed that DBI33-50, a biologically active fragment of DBI1-86,
significantly stimulated CCK secretion in STC-1 cells. This action was abol
ished by Ca2+-free medium. The mean basal intracellular Ca2+ concentration
([Ca2+](i)) was 52 nM in fura a-loaded STC-1 cells. DBI33-50 (1-1,000 nM) e
licited Ca2+ oscillations; DBI33-50 (10 nM) increased the oscillation frequ
ency to 5 cycles/10 min and elicited a net [Ca2+](i) increase (peak - basal
) to 157 nM. In contrast, bombesin and forskolin caused an initial transien
t [Ca2+](i) followed by a small sustained [Ca2+](i) plateau. Withdrawal of
extracellular Ca2+ abolished Ca2+ oscillations stimulated by DBI33-50 L-typ
e Ca2+ channel blockers nifedipine and diltiazem (3-10 mu M) markedly atten
uated DBI-stimulated Ca2+ oscillations. In other cell types L-type Ca2+ cha
nnels are activated by cAMP-protein kinase A. DBI33-50 failed to stimulate
cAMP formation in STC-1 cells. Similarly, DBI33-50 had no effect on myo-ino
sitol 1,4,5-trisphosphate concentration ([IP3]), whereas bombesin caused an
eightfold increase in [IP3] over basal. In addition, inhibitors of phospho
lipase C (U-73122), phospholipase A(2) (ONO-RS-082), and protein tyrosine k
inase (genistein) did not alter the Ca2+ oscillations elicited by DBI33-50
It appears that DBI33-50 acts directly on STC-1 cells to elicit Ca2+ oscill
ations via the voltage-dependent L-type Ca2+ channels, resulting in the sec
retion of CCK. Mediation of this action is by intracellular mechanisms inde
pendent of the traditional signal transduction pathways, including phosphol
ipase C, phospholipase A(2), protein tyrosine kinase, and cAMP systems.
