Abstract
Since its initial discovery in 1989, pituitary adenylate cyclase activating peptide (PACAP) has been noted to distribute widely in the brain, the respiratory and the gastrointestinal system. It occurs in two bioactive molecules, PACAP-27 and the C-terminally extended PACAP-38, which evoke activity by binding to three distinct types of high-affinity, G-protein coupled membrane receptors. It is present throughout the entirety of the gut but is rare in certain areas such as the intestinal mucosa and islets of Langerhans. PACAP-induced biological effects are protean and include alterations of motility in the bowel and the gallbladder, stimulation of gastric acid and intestinal secretion, hormone/enzyme release from the exocrine and endocrine pancreas, and the induction as well as inhibition of proliferation in neuroendocrine cells and tumors. Its hepatic activity has to date not been elucidated in detail. One of the interesting features of PACAP is the species and organ dependent variation of its biological effects. Of particular note is its superior potency when compared with other neuropeptides identified in the gut, and the involvement of a number of different second messenger systems upon PACAP receptor activation.

Abstract
The effect of leptin on insulin secretion is controversial due to conflicting results in the literature. In the present study, we incubated insulin-producing rat insulinoma INS-1 cells for 60 min and examined the effects of recombinant murine leptin (20 nmol/l). We found that leptin (0.1-100 nmol/l) did not affect the insulin response to glucose (1-20 mmol/l). However, when cells were incubated with agents that increase the intracellular content of cAMP, i.e., glucagon-like peptide-1 (100 nmol/l), pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (100 nmol/l), forskolin (2.5 micromol/l), dibutyryl-cAMP (1 mmol/l), or 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (100 micromol/l), leptin significantly reduced insulin secretion (by 34-58%, P < 0.05-0.001). In contrast, when insulin secretion was stimulated by the cholinergic agonist carbachol (100 micromol/l) or the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (1 micromol/l), both of which activate protein kinase C, leptin was without effect. We conclude that leptin inhibits insulin secretion from INS-1 cells under conditions in which intracellular cAMP is increased. This suggests that the cAMP-protein kinase A signal transduction pathway is a target for leptin to inhibit insulin secretion in insulin-producing cells.

Abstract
1. The effects of wortmannin, an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol (PI) kinases and myosin light chain kinase, on the quantal release of neurotransmitter from mouse phrenic nerve were investigated. 2. Wortmannin (10 - 100 microM) initially enhanced, thereafter progressively depressed spontaneous quantal discharge (miniature endplate potential, mepp). The mean amplitude and the amplitude distribution of mepp were not altered. 3. The compound inhibited and prevented the intensive quantal release evoked by high KC1 solution as well as the mepp burst induced by alpha-latrotoxin, a polypeptide toxin that possesses Ca2+-independent synaptic action to trigger quantal release. The inhibitory actions of wortmannin were partially reversible. 4. Wortmannin depressed the amplitude of endplate potentials (epps) and increased the coefficient of variance of epps. The profile of epps in response to high frequency nerve stimulation exhibited fluctuations between run-down and run-up. The phenomenon is thus different from the consistency of run-up characteristic as the motor nerve Ca2+ channel is blocked by omega-agatoxin IVA. 5. LY294002, another inhibitor of PI 3-kinase, raised mepp frequency without causing late phase suppressions. The compound did not inhibit KC1-, alpha-latrotoxin- or nerve stimulation-evoked quantal release. 6. The results suggest that wortmannin could depress quantal release beyond the step of Ca2+ channel blockade, probably by interfering with the exocytotic cascade.

Abstract
The biochemical mechanisms responsible for basal hyperinsulinemia in insulin-resistant states have not been fully defined. We therefore studied pancreatic beta-cell function in vitro to characterize the relative importance of fuel metabolism or secretion via a constitutive pathway in the maintenance of high basal insulin secretion in Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) and Zucker fatty (ZF) rats. Insulin secretion from ZF (10+/-1.8 v 5+/-0.6 pmol/ng DNA/h) and ZDF (30+/-4 v 7+/-0.8 pmol/ng DNA/h) islets at 2.8 mmol/L glucose was two to four times greater than secretion from islets of lean littermate control rats. In response to a decreasing glucose concentration (from 12 to 0 mmol/L), a paradoxical increase in insulin secretion was observed in perfused ZDF rat pancreas. Insulin secretion at 2.8 mmol/L glucose was suppressed approximately 70% to 80% in islets from ZDF and ZF rats following exposure to diazoxide, a K+-adenosine triphosphate (K(ATP)) channel opener that inhibits membrane depolarization, or rotenone and oligomycin, agents that inhibit ATP production, or by incubation at 23 degrees C. Inhibition of glycolysis with mannoheptulose, 2-deoxyglucose, and iodoacetate or fatty acid oxidation with a carnitine palmitoyltransferase I inhibitor also significantly inhibited basal insulin secretion in islets of ZDF and ZF rats but not their lean littermates. Furthermore, the glycolytic flux at 2.8 mmol/L glucose was significantly higher in ZDF islets versus ZDF lean littermate (ZLC) islets (2.2+/-0.1 v 3.7+/-0.3 pmol/ng DNA/2 h, P < .01) and was suppressed by mannoheptulose. In ZDF and ZF islets, high basal insulin secretion was maintained despite a 50% reduction in the rate of proinsulin/insulin biosynthesis at 2.8 mmol/L glucose. The rate of proinsulin to insulin conversion and the ratio of proinsulin to insulin secretion by islets of ZDF rats were similar to the values in the lean littermates. Thus, basal hypersecretion in these two insulin-resistant models appears to be related to enhanced fuel metabolism rather than the contribution of a constitutive pathway of secretion.

Abstract
Hexamethylenebisacetamide (HMBA) induces in murine erythroleukemia cells (MELC) the commitment to terminal differentiation leading to globin gene expression. In the thyroid, HMBA acts as a growth factor and also as a differentiating agent. In the present paper, we studied the effect of HMBA on the very specific thyroid marker thyroglobulin (Tg) in two different thyroid cell systems, i.e., porcine cells in primary culture and ovine cells in long term culture. Using wortmannin, a specific inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase, we investigated whether this enzyme is involved in HMBA mode of action. We found that HMBA is a positive modulator of Tg production in porcine cells, but a negative effector in the OVNIS cell line. As all HMBA effects studied in the present paper, i.e., Tg production and total protein levels, are not inhibited by wortmannin, we suggest the non-involvement of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase in HMBA mode of action.

Abstract
Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating peptide (PACAP) is a ubiquitously distributed neuropeptide which also is localized to pancreatic islets and stimulates insulin secretion. We examined whether endogenous PACAP within the islets might contribute to glucose-stimulated insulin secretion by immunoneutralizing endogenous PACAP. Immunocytochemistry showed that PACAP immunoreactivity is expressed in nerve terminals within freshly isolated rat islets, but not in islets that had been cultured for 48 h. In contrast, islet endocrine cells did not display PACAP immunoreactivity. Addition of either of two specific PACAP antisera markedly inhibited glucose (11.1 mmol/l)-stimulated insulin secretion from freshly isolated rat islets, whereas a control rabbit serum did not affect glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. In contrast, the PACAP antisera had no effect on glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in cultured islets. Based on these results we therefore suggest that PACAP is an islet neuropeptide which is required for the normal insulinotropic action of glucose.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Gastric carcinoids (types I and II) involve the transformation of naive enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells to the neoplastic state and are associated primarily with hypergastrinemia. In this study, we evaluated the effects of two related neuropeptides, pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), on ECL cell proliferation and characterized the receptor subtype(s) and signal transduction pathways that mediate this effect. METHODS Purified rat ECL cells were analyzed in culture for DNA synthesis as measured by 24-hour 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine (BrdU) uptake. Reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) with gene-specific oligonucleotide primers was performed to characterize the PACAP/VIP receptor subtype(s). RESULTS PACAP/VIP neuropeptide-stimulated BrdU uptake was significantly greater (3.4-3.8-fold greater than control) than that at the maximal dose of gastrin (2.2-fold greater than control). PACAP-stimulated ECL cell proliferation (EC50, approximately 3 x 10(-)14 mol/L) was approximately 100-fold more potent than VIP (EC50, approximately 3x 10(-)12 mol/L). The stimulated BrdU uptake by both PACAP and VIP was competitively inhibited by PACAP-receptor antagonist (IC50, 10(-)9 mol/L, 3 x 10(-)9 mol/L, respectively) and VIP-receptor antagonist (IC50, 3 x 10(-)7 mol/L, 5 x 10(-)7 mol/L, respectively). RT-PCR identified the presence of the PACAP-specific but not PACAP/VIP receptor subtypes. The PACAP-stimulated BrdU uptake was inhibited (70%-80%) by inhibitors of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate, phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase, and protein tyrosine kinase as well as mitogen-activated protein kinase. CONCLUSIONS PACAP/VIP-related peptides are more potent modulators of ECL cell proliferation than gastrin, and their effect is mediated by a PACAP-specific receptor whose activation is transduced by multiple intracellular messenger systems.

Abstract
A common feature of most isolated cell systems is low or undetectable levels of bioactive cytochrome P450. We therefore developed stable transfectants of the renal epithelial cell line, LLCPKcl4, that expressed an active regio- and enantioselective arachidonic acid (AA) epoxygenase. Site-specific mutagenesis was used to convert bacterial P450 BM-3 into an active regio- and stereoselective 14S,15R-epoxygenase (F87V BM-3). In clones expressing F87V BM-3 (F87V BM-3 cells), exogenous AA induced significant 14S,15R-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (EET) production (241. 82 ng/10(8) cells, >97% of total EETs), whereas no detectable EETs were seen in cells transfected with vector alone. In F87V BM-3 cells, AA stimulated [3H]thymidine incorporation and increased cell proliferation, which was blocked by the tyrosine kinase inhibitor, genistein, by the phosphatidylinositol 3 (PI-3) kinase inhibitors, wortmannin and LY294002, and by the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase inhibitor, PD98059. AA also induced tyrosine phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and PI-3 kinase that was inhibited by the cytochrome P450 BM-3 inhibitor, 17-ODYA. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) increased EET production in F87V BM-3 cells, which was completely abolished by pretreatment with either 17-ODYA or the phospholipase A2 (PLA2) inhibitor, quinacrine. Compared with vector-transfected cells, F87 BM-3 transfected cells demonstrated marked increases in both the extent and sensitivity of DNA synthesis in response to EGF. These changes occurred in the absence of significant differences in EGF receptor expression. As seen with exogenous AA, EGF increased ERK tyrosine phosphorylation to a significantly greater extent in F87V BM-3 cells than in vector-transfected cells. Furthermore, in these control cells, neither 17-ODYA nor quinacrine inhibited EGF-induced ERK tyrosine phosphorylation. On the other hand, in F87V BM-3 cells, both inhibitors reduced ERK tyrosine phosphorylation to levels indistinguishable from that seen in cells transfected with vector alone. These studies provide the first unequivocal evidence for a role for the AA epoxygenase pathway and endogenous EET synthesis in EGF-mediated signaling and mitogenesis and provide compelling evidence for the PLA2-AA-EET pathway as an important intracellular-signaling pathway in cells expressing high levels of cytochrome P450 epoxygenase.

Abstract
Staurosporine induced apoptosis in a human oligodendroglioma cell line (HOG), neonatal rat oligodendrocyte (O2A(+)) precursors, and mature rat oligodendrocytes. In all three cell culture systems, the activation of caspase-3-like activity (CPP32) coincided with the increased formation of ceramide from sphingomyelin and the onset of DNA fragmentation. Further, the addition of exogenous C(2)-ceramide induced CPP32 activation and DNA fragmentation in all three culture systems. Raising endogenous ceramide levels by the addition of the ceramidase inhibitor, oleoylethanolamine, enhanced apoptosis in both a time- and concentration-dependent manner. Inhibitors of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (wortmannin and LY294002) also induced caspase-3 (CPP32) activation, increased ceramide formation, induced DNA fragmentation, and reduced cell viability. In contrast, cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) had a differential effect on the three cell cultures. Thus, TNF-alpha (160 ng/ml) induced 70% apoptosis in 24 hr in freshly isolated rat brain O2A(+) precursor cells, 60% apoptosis in 24 hr in a human oligodendroglioma (HOG) cell line, but no apoptosis in mature neonatal rat oligodendrocytes. Interferon-gamma augmented the activation of CPP32 by TNF-alpha in HOG cells and O2A(+) oligodendrocyte precursor cells but had no effect on mature oligodendrocytes. Thus, the death pathway appears to be similar in the three cell lines but the lack of coupling between TNF-alpha receptors and the apoptotic pathway leads to a lack of response to cytokines in mature oligodendrocytes.

Abstract
Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) is localized in pancreatic nerve fibers and islets and potently augments glucose-induced insulin secretion. The present study explored a possible extra-pancreatic action of PACAP. The specific PACAP receptor (PAC1 receptor) was expressed in the rat fat tissue and 3T3-LI adipocytes. PACAP-38 (10 nM) significantly enhanced insulin-induced 2-deoxyglucose uptake by 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Insulin-stimulated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity was further increased by PACAP-38, whereas the tyrosine-phosphorylation of insulin receptor beta-subunit and insulin receptor substrate-1 was unaltered by PACAP-38. These results reveal that PACAP-38 enhances insulin-induced glucose uptake, an effect probably mediated by insulin-stimulated phosphatidyl-inositol 3-kinase, and that PACAP potentiates not only insulin secretion, but also insulin action in adipocytes.

Abstract
We have determined the cellular distribution of different alpha subtypes of G proteins and adenylyl cyclase (AC) isoforms in endocrine, exocrine, and established pancreatic cell lines. VIP, PACAP, and tGLP-1 receptor proteins are expressed to varying extents in A and B cells, whereas the expression of G alpha subunits is cell specific. Thus, G(olf) alpha is detected in normal rodent B cells and immortalized pancreatic B cell lines, whereas Gs alpha is more ubiquitously expressed. The cellular density of AC isoforms labeling (I, II, III, IV, V/VI) is also islet cell-specific and their distribution is age- and species-dependent. The identification of numerous signaling molecule subtypes, together with the discovery of their specific subcellular distribution, will help the functional characterization of their intraregulatory pathways, leading to the extrusion of insulin or glucagon secretory granules, and those leading to differentiation and apoptosis of islet cells.

Abstract
Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) is localized to pancreatic nerve terminals and stimulates insulin secretion. The insulinotropic effect of PACAP38 in insulin-producing HIT-T15 cells is accompanied by increases in cellular cAMP and cytoplasmic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]cyt). As also intracellular Na+ is important for insulin secretion after glucose and other cAMP forming peptides, we examined the Na+ dependence of the insulinotropic effect of PACAP38 in HIT-T15 cells. We found that PACAP38 (100 nM)-induced insulin secretion was diminished by approximately 50% by removal of extracellular Na+ (replaced by equimolar N-methyl-D-glucamine). In contrast, removal of Na+ did not diminish the formation of cellular cAMP (measured by radioimmunoassay) or the increase in [Ca2+]cyt (measured in FURA-2AM-loaded cell suspensions) induced by PACAP38. Furthermore, PACAP-38 increased the cytoplasmic Na+ ([Na+]cyt) in single HIT-T15 cells as measured by the fluorophore sodium-binding benzofran isophthalate. This increase was reduced by removal of extracellular Na+ and by inhibition of protein kinase A by H-89. We conclude that the insulinotropic action of PACAP38 is Na+-dependent. We propose that PACAP38 opens plasma membrane Na+ channels by an action partially mediated by cAMP and protein kinase A, and the subsequent raise in [Na+]cyt elicits insulin secretion by an as yet unsolved mechanism.

Abstract
In our present studies utilizing a well characterized proximal tubule cell line, LLCPKcl4, we determined that all four EET regioisomers (5,6-EET, 8,9-EET, 11,12-EET, and 14,15-EET) stimulated [3H]thymidine incorporation, with 14,15-EET being the most potent. In contrast, no mitogenic effects were seen with arachidonic acid, other cP450 arachidonate metabolites (12R-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12R-HETE), 14,15-dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acid (14,15-DHET), or 20-HETE), or lipoxygenase metabolites (5S-HETE, leukotriene B4, or lipoxin A4). We found that their metabolically more stable sulfonimide (SI) analogs (11,12-EET-SI and 14,15-EET-SI) were also potent mitogens. In addition 14,15-EET-SI also increased cell proliferation as well as expression of both c-fos and egr-1 mRNA. The protein kinase C and A inhibitors, H-7 and H-8, or the cyclooxygenase inhibitor, indomethacin, had no effect upon 14, 15-EET-induced [3H]thymidine incorporation, but the selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor, genistein, significantly inhibited it. Immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting demonstrated increased tyrosine phosphorylation of PI3-kinase and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) within 1 min of EET administration. EETs also stimulated association of PI3-kinase with EGFR. PI3-kinase inhibitors, wortmannin and LY 294002, markedly inhibited 14, 15-EET-SI-stimulated [3H]thymidine incorporation. In addition, 14, 15-EET-SI administration stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of src homologous and collagen-like protein (SHC) and association of SHC with both growth factor receptor-binding protein (GRB2) and EGFR. Mitogen-activated protein kinase was also activated within 5 min. Pretreatment of the cells with the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase inhibitor, PD98059, inhibited the 14,15-EET-SI-stimulated [3H]thymidine incorporation. Moreover, immunoblotting indicated that 14,15-EET stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of the specific pp60(c-src) substrate p120 and c-Src association with EGFR. 14, 15-EET increased src kinase activity within 1 min. Our data indicate that EETs are potent mitogens for renal epithelial cells, and the mitogenic effects of the EETs are mediated, at least in part, by the activation of Src kinase and initiation of a tyrosine kinase phosphorylation cascade.

Abstract
In this study, the authors describe a new "reactive syndrome," Reactive Intestinal Dysfunction Syndrome (RIDS), which has similarities to the previously described clinical syndromes Reactive Airway Dysfunction Syndrome (RADS) and Reactive Upper Airway Dysfunction Syndrome (RUDS). Given that at least 5 neuropeptides are common to both the respiratory tract and digestive tract, the authors propose that the abnormal secretion of these neuropeptides or the abnormal numbers of their receptors play a role in what is perceived clinically as RADS, RUDS, and RIDS. The relatively large surface areas of both the lungs and gut render them especially vulnerable to the environment to which they are exposed constantly.

Abstract
The growth rate of rodent embryonic neuroblasts and human neuroblastoma cell lines is regulated in part by autocrine or paracrine actions of neuropeptides of the family that includes vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), peptide histidine isoleucine (PHI), and pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide (PACAP). These peptides act via seven transmembrane G-protein-linked receptors coupled to cAMP elevation, phospholipase C activation, intracellular Ca2+ release, and/or of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase activation. Here we investigated the action of these peptides on the mouse neuroblastoma cell line Neuro2a. PHI and VIP inhibited proliferation at concentrations as low as 10(-13) M and 10(-10) M, respectively. In contrast, PACAP action was biphasic, with stimulation occurring at subnanomolar doses and inhibition at higher doses. Peptide actions were studied further by measuring cAMP and ERK1/2 MAP kinase activity and by assessing 3H-thymidine incorporation in conjunction with a panel of signal transduction pathways inhibitors. The data obtained indicated that the PHI-inhibitory and PACAP-stimulatory activities were mediated by corresponding changes in activity of the MAP kinase pathway and independent of protein kinase A (PKA) or protein kinase C (PKC). In contrast, the inhibitory actions of VIP and PACAP were specifically blocked by antagonists of PKA. Northern blot analysis revealed gene expression for only the PACAP-preferring (PAC1) receptor. However, binding experiments using 125I-labeled PACAP27, PHI, and VIP, demonstrated the presence of PACAP-preferring sites, bivalent VIP/PACAP sites, and PHI-binding sites that did not interact with VIP. The studies demonstrate potent regulatory actions of PACAP, PHI, and VIP on neuroblastoma cell proliferation which appear to be mediated by multiple subsets of receptors which differentially couple to MAP kinase and PKA signaling pathways.

Abstract
We have studied the localization, receptor occupancy and potency of the neuropeptide pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) in insulin-producing tissues. Immunocytochemistry showed that PACAP-like immunoreactivity (PACAP-IR) was localized to pancreatic nerves with accumulation in intrapancreatic ganglia in both mouse and rat. In contrast, PACAP-IR could not be demonstrated in endocrine cells. Furthermore, in situ hybridization, using oligodeoxyribonucleotide probes recognizing mRNA for PACAP receptors, demonstrated that mouse and rat pancreas, and the insulinoma cell lines HIT-T15 and RINm5F, expressed both the PACAP type 1 and the VIP2/PACAP receptors. Moreover, both PACAP27 and PACAP38 dose-dependently (0.1 nM to 100 nM) and equipotently stimulated insulin secretion in isolated mouse and rat islets and in HIT-T15 and RINm5F cells. Furthermore, in mouse islets, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) was of equal potency as PACAP at stimulating insulin secretion. In mouse, PACAP also stimulated insulin secretion in a subfraction of the isolated islets also at the low dose of 1 fM. Thus, (1) PACAP is exclusively a neuropeptide in the pancreas, (2) insulin-producing cells express PACAP type 1 and VIP2/PACAP receptors and (3) the two forms of PACAP equipotently stimulate insulin secretion. Based on these results, we suggest that PACAP is involved in the neural regulation of insulin secretion.

Abstract
1. We examined whether pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide with 38 or 27 residues (PACAP-38 or PACAP-27) serves as an intra-islet regulator of glucose-induced insulin secretion in rats. PACAP antiserum specific for PACAP-38 and PACAP-27 was used to neutralize the effect of endogenous PACAP in islets. PACAP release from islets was bioassayed using the response of cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in single beta-cells, monitored by dual-wavelength fura-2 microfluorometry. Expression of PACAP mRNA was studied by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), while expression of PACAP was studied by metabolic labelling and immunoblotting. Localization of PACAP receptors was studied immunohistochemically. 2. High glucose-stimulated insulin release from isolated islets was attenuated by PACAP antiserum but not by non-immune sera. 3. The islet incubation medium with high glucose (Med) possessed a capacity, which was neutralized by PACAP antiserum, to increase [Ca2+]i in beta-cells. PACAP antiserum also neutralized the [Ca2+]i-increasing action of synthetic PACAP-38 and PACAP-27, but not that of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) and glucagon. 4. Both Med and synthetic PACAP increased [Ca2+]i in beta-cells only in the presence of stimulatory, but not basal, glucose concentrations. In contrast, ATP, a substance that is known to be released from beta-cells, increased [Ca2+]i in beta-cells at both and stimulatory glucose concentrations. 5. Expression of PACAP mRNA and biosynthesis of PACAP-38 were detected in islets and a beta-cell line, MIN6. 6. Immunoreactivity for PACAP-selective type-I receptor was observed in islets. 7. [Ca2+]i measurements combined with immunocytochemistry with insulin antiserum revealed a substantial population of glucose-unresponsive beta-cells, many of which were recruited by PACAP-38 into [Ca2+]i responses. 8. These results indicate that PACAP-38 is a novel islet substance that is synthesized and released by islet cells and then, in an autocrine and/or paracrine manner, potentiates and arouses beta-cell responses to glucose, thereby amplifying glucose-induced insulin secretion in islets.

Abstract
The signal transduction pathways of a cloned human gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) receptor have been investigated in CHO cells stably expressing this receptor. Exposure of GIP receptor expressing cells to GIP significantly increased MAP kinase activity. Time course analysis showed that a rapid and marked increase in MAP kinase activation was detected and that this activation reached maximal levels 10 min after the addition of GIP. Dose-response analysis showed that GIP activated MAP kinase activity in a dose-dependent manner with an ED50 value of 5.9 x 10(-10) M of GIP. Wortmannin, a potent inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase), partially inhibited GIP-induced MAP kinase activation, suggesting that GIP activates MAP kinase through two different, wortmannin-sensitive and -insensitive pathways. It has been demonstrated that in CHO cells cAMP attenuates MAP kinase activity by inhibiting Raf-1. Since GIP elevates intracellular cAMP, we examined the effects of cAMP on MAP kinase activation. Interestingly, forskolin, which increased intracellular cAMP levels, significantly inhibited MAP kinase activation by GIP, but did not affect MAP kinase activation by GIP in the presence of wortmannin, suggesting that the wortmannin-sensitive pathway activates an MAP kinase cascade at or above the level of Raf-1 and that the wortmannin-insensitive pathway activates an MAP kinase cascade below the level of Raf-1. These findings demonstrate that the GIP receptor is linked to the MAP kinase cascade via at least two different pathways.

Abstract
VIP and PACAP stimulate insulin release by interaction with the VIP-2/PACAP-3 receptor on the beta cell. Activation of the receptor results in Gs-mediated stimulation of adenylyl cyclase and increased cellular cyclic AMP levels. Increased cyclic AMP results in a small and transient increase in [Ca2+]i, which is likely to have only a small and transient effect on the secretion rate. Cyclic AMP also potentiates insulin secretion by an as yet unknown action at a distal site. A third action of VIP and PACAP is responsible for the continued stimulation of insulin secretion after the levels of cyclic AMP and [Ca2+]i have returned to basal values. This third pathway, which is identified at present only by its sensitivity to low concentrations of wortmannin, plays a major role in the prolonged stimulation of insulin release by VIP and PACAP.
