Abstract
Cholecystokinin 1 receptor (CCK1R) is activated in photodynamic action by singlet oxygen, but detailed molecular mechanisms are not elucidated. To identify the pharmacophore(s) in photodynamic CCK1R activation, we examined photodynamic activation of point mutants CCK1RM121/3.32A, CCK1RM121/3.32Q, and a chimeric receptor with CCK1R transmembrane domain 3 (TM3) transplanted to muscarinic ACh receptor 3 (M3R) which is unaffected by photodynamic action. These engineered receptors were tagged at the N-terminus with genetically encoded protein photosensitizer miniSOG, and their light-driven photodynamic activation was compared to wild type CCK1R and M3R, as monitored by Fura-2 fluorescent calcium imaging. Photodynamic activations of miniSOG-CCK1RM121/3.32A and miniSOG-CCK1RM121/3.32Q were found to be 55% and 73%, respectively, when compared to miniSOG-CCK1R (100%), whereas miniSOG-M3R was not affected (0% activation). Notably, the chimeric receptor miniSOG-M3R-TM3CCK1R was effectively activated photodynamically (65%). These data suggest that TM3 is an important pharmacophore in photodynamic CCK1R activation, readily transplantable to nonsusceptible M3R for photodynamic activation.

Abstract
Gastrin and cholecystokinin (CCK) are classical gastrointestinal peptide hormones. Their biogenesis, structures, and intestinal secretory patterns are well-known with the striking feature that their receptor-bound 'active sites' are highly homologous and that this structure is conserved for more than 500 million years during evolution. Consequently, gastrin and CCK are agonists for the same receptor (the CCK2 receptor). But in addition, tyrosyl O-sulphated CCK are also bound to the specific CCK1 receptor. The receptors are widely expressed in the body, including pancreatic islet-cell membranes. Moreover, CCK and gastrin peptides are at various developmental stages and diseases expressed in pancreatic islets; also in human islets. Accordingly, bioactive gastrin and CCK peptides stimulate islet-cell growth as well as insulin and glucagon secretion. In view of their insulinotropic effects, gastrin and CCK peptides have come into focus as drug targets, either alone or in combination with other insulinotropic gut hormones or growth factors. So far, modified CCK and gastrin peptides are being examined as potential drugs for therapy of type 1 as well as type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
The aim of the present review is to synthesise and summarise our recent knowledge on the involvement of cholecystokinin (CCK) and gastrin peptides and their receptors in the control of digestive functions and more generally their role in the field of nutrition in mammals. First, we examined the release of these peptides from the gut, focusing on their molecular forms, the factors regulating their release and the signalling pathways mediating their effects. Second, general physiological effects of CCK and gastrin peptides are described with regard to their specific receptors and the role of CCK on vagal mucosal afferent nerve activities. Local effects of CCK and gastrin in the gut are also reported, including gut development, gastrointestinal motility and control of pancreatic functions through vagal afferent pathways, including NO. Third, some examples of the intervention of the CCK and gastrin peptides are exposed in diseases, taking into account intervention of the classical receptor subtypes (CCK1 and CCK2 receptors) and their heterodimerisation as well as CCK-C receptor subtype. Finally, applications and future challenges are suggested in the nutritional field (performances) and in therapy with regards to the molecular forms or in relation with the type of receptor as well as new techniques to be utilised in detection or in therapy of disease. In conclusion, the present review underlines recent developments in this field: CCK and gastrin peptides and their receptors are the key factor of nutritional aspects; a better understanding of the mechanisms involved may increase the efficiency of the nutritional functions and the treatment of abnormalities under pathological conditions.

Abstract
Cholecystokinin and gastrin receptors (CCK1R and CCK2R) are G protein-coupled receptors that have been the subject of intensive research in the last 10 years with corresponding advances in the understanding of their functioning and physiology. In this review, we first describe general properties of the receptors, such as the different signaling pathways used to exert short- and long-term effects and the structural data that explain their binding properties, activation, and regulation. We then focus on peripheral cholecystokinin receptors by describing their tissue distribution and physiological actions. Finally, pathophysiological peripheral actions of cholecystokinin receptors and their relevance in clinical disorders are reviewed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the mechanisms by which cholecystokinin (CCK) regulates the exocrine pancreas, the role and location of CCK receptors in the pig were investigated using the CCK-B receptor antagonist YF476 and different administration routes of CCK. METHODS In 11 anaesthetized pigs, catheters were surgically implanted in the pancreatic duct for juice collection, and in the gastric arteries and jugular vein, so that infusions of CCK-33 could be directed to the duodenal/gastric, duodenal/pancreatic or general circulations, respectively. Experiments were performed under control conditions, and after pretreatment by gavage feeding with YF476, using either a single, low dose of 0.3 micromol kg, which would block the CCK-B receptors, or a 1000 times higher dose (300 micromol kg), which would also block the CCK-A receptors. RESULTS The increase in the pancreatic output of protein and the enzymes trypsin and amylase observed after the infusion of CCK-33 at 13 pmol kg to the duodenum/stomach or duodenum/pancreas was inhibited by pretreatment with YF476 at both dosages. In contrast, the increase in protein and enzyme output after the infusion of a supraphysiological dose of CCK-33 (130 pmol kg) to the general circulation was not affected by pretreatment with low dosage YF476, whereas high dosage YF476 completely inhibited the stimulated secretion. CONCLUSIONS These data indicate that CCK-33 given locally to the duodenum in doses raising CCK to physiological plasma levels stimulates the pancreatic enzyme secretion via duodenal CCK-B receptors. Supra-physiological doses of CCK-33 to the general circulation appeared to affect the pancreatic enzyme secretion via CCK-A receptors located elsewhere than in the pancreatic and duodenal tissue.

Abstract
In this paper the possible roles of cholecystokinin (CCK), gastrin, or gastrin-related peptides and their receptors in human gastrointestinal diseases are reviewed. For CCK/CCK(A) receptors (CCK(A)-R), the evidence for their proposed involvement in diseases caused by impaired CCK release or CCK(A)-R mutations, pancreatic disorders (acute/chronic pancreatitis), gastrointestinal motility disorders (gallbladder disease, irritable bowel syndrome), pancreatic tumor growth and satiety disorders, is briefly reviewed. The evidence that has established the involvement of gastrin/CCK(B)-R in mediating the action of hypergastrinaemic disorders, mediating hypergastrinaemic effects on the gastric mucosa (ECL hyperplasia, carcinoids, parietal cell mass), and acid-peptic diseases, is reviewed. The evidence for their possible involvement in mediating growth of gastric and pancreatic tumours and possible involvement of gastrin-related peptides in colon cancers, is reviewed briefly.

Abstract
Several studies argue for the presence of CCK2 receptors in the human pancreas but their physiological role in normal exocrine pancreas and their contribution to pancreatic pathologies is unknown. In order to allow an easy investigation of their pancreatic function, we created the ElasCCK2 transgenic mice expressing the human receptor in pancreatic exocrine cells. In this model, the CCK2 receptor is specifically expressed in the exocrine pancreas and has typical molecular and binding features. It is functional and mediates enzyme release but stimulating concentrations of agonists are not physiological. Results of phenotypic and long-term studies show that activation of CCK2 receptors stimulates growth of the pancreas in correlation with an increase of acinar tissue. This finding is also consistent with the demonstration of an efficient coupling of the transgenic receptor to protein synthesis. Alterations in pancreatic histology and development of preneoplastic lesions are apparent from postnatal day 50. Moreover, expression of this G-protein-coupled receptor leads to the development of tumours in older animals with an incidence of 15%. Although tumours have distinct phenotypes they all exhibit ductular structures. Immunohistochemical analysis of these structures shows their acinar origin. These data, linking for the first time the development of pancreatic carcinogenesis in vivo to the expression of the CCK2 receptor, support a key role of the CCK2 receptor in the initiation of pancreatic cancer. Moreover, ElasCCK2 mice provide a model for carcinogenesis by transformation and dedifferentiation of acinar cells.

Abstract
The neurohormonal control of pancreatic exocrine secretion is a complex interaction of multiple pathways involving a large number of gut hormones, neurotransmitters, and neuropeptides. Recent studies have elucidated a role for cholecystokinin in the regulation of bicarbonate and fluid secretion from pancreatic duct cells and suggested that cholecystokinin stimulation of human pancreatic acinar cells is likely regulated by an indirect mechanism of stimulation of afferent neurons. Evidence supports the regulation of potassium channels in rat pancreatic acinar cells by the cyclic AMP-mediated agonist secretin. Mechanisms for the regulation of cholecystokinin and secretin release by releasing factors have also been elucidated. The area postrema has been implicated in the mediation of inhibition of pancreatic secretion by the gut hormones peptide YY and pancreatic polypeptide. The neurotransmitter serotonin has been demonstrated to play a role in acid-induced secretin release and in pancreatic secretion stimulated by luminal factors. The regulation of pancreatic exocrine secretion by purines, nitric oxide, and gamma-aminobutyric acid as well as by the neuropeptides pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide, gastrin-releasing peptide, and substance P is reviewed. The role of the central nervous system in modulating pancreatic secretion is also described. This review highlights the recent advances in knowledge of the neurohormonal regulation of pancreatic exocrine secretion.

Abstract
The potential toxicity of dietary soy trypsin inhibitor (TI) was evaluated in neonatal miniature swine. From 1 to 6 weeks of age, two groups of male piglets were artificially reared in an Autosow and automatically fed either TI or control liquid diet. From 6 to 39 weeks of age, these two groups were fed either TI or control chow diet. A third group, sow control (SC), suckled from birth to 6 weeks of age, were also weaned to control chow from 6 to 39 weeks of age. Clinical chemistry and plasma cholecystokinin (CCK) determined at 6, 18, 30 and 39 weeks of age, and serum amylase activity with gross and histopathological analyses of major organs at 6 and 39 weeks of age are reported. TI had no effect on plasma CCK, serum amylase activity, or numerous clinical chemistry values. TI-fed piglets had a larger relative liver weight at 6 weeks of age. Relative pancreas weight decreased with age but was not affected by TI. Gross and histopathological analyses of major organs, except the spleen, were within normal limits. Increased incidence of extramedullary hematopoiesis was noted in the spleen of the TI group at 6 but not at 39 weeks of age. There was no consistent pattern in immunohistochemical foci for secretin, gastrin releasing polypeptide or CCK, and no change in DNA, RNA, mitotic index or nuclear density of pancreatic cells. At 6 weeks of age, TI increased pancreatic protein and amylase activity but not trypsin or chymotrypsin activity. None of the effects suggested that this dose of TI was toxic to either the neonatal or sexually mature miniature male swine.

Abstract
Toxicological effects of dietary soy trypsin inhibitor (TI) were assessed in male miniature swine, a model chosen for its similarities to human digestive physiology and anatomy. The TI preparation was extracted from defatted raw soy flour. From 1 through 5 weeks of age, piglets were automatically fed either a TI liquid diet [Autosow TI group (ASTI)] or a control liquid diet [Autosow control group (ASC)]. From 6 to 39 weeks of age, these animals received either swine chow and TI or swine chow and control article. The TI diets were formulated to contain a TI activity of approximately 500 mg TI/100 g dry matter. A sow control (SC) group suckled from birth to 6 weeks of age and then fed as the ASC group with swine chow plus control article from 6 to 39 weeks of age. The SC piglets grew faster than ASC piglets during postnatal weeks 1 and 2; however, the ASC piglets were significantly heavier than the SC piglets (P=0.001) at 6 weeks of age. Compared with the ASC group, TI caused a moderate decrease in feed consumption and a moderate but reversible decrease in growth from 2 to 5 weeks of age, but not thereafter. Some control and TI-fed Autosow-reared piglets had loose stools until 6 weeks of age; the effect was significantly greater in the TI-fed group. Otherwise, all swine were active and had normal appearance and behavior.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS To explore the pancreatic function of CCK2/gastrin receptor, we created ElasCCK2 transgenic mice expressing the human receptor in pancreatic exocrine cells. In previous studies, the transgenic CCK2/gastrin receptor was demonstrated to mediate enzyme release and protein synthesis. We now report results of phenotypic and long-term studies. METHODS Pancreas was characterized using morphometry and immunohistochemistry. ElasCCK2 mice were crossed with INS-GAS mice expressing gastrin in pancreatic beta cells to achieve continuous stimulation of the CCK2/gastrin receptor. RESULTS The pancreatic weight of ElasCCK2 mice was increased by 40% and correlated with an increase in the area of exocrine tissue. Alterations in pancreatic histology were apparent from postnatal day 50. Crossing the ElasCCK2 mice with INS-GAS mice resulted in development of morphologic changes in younger animals. Malignant transformation occurred in 3 of 20 homozygous ElasCCK2 mice. Although tumors had different phenotypes, they all developed through an acinar-ductal carcinoma sequence. CONCLUSIONS Our data show that transgenic expression of a G protein-coupled receptor can lead to cancer. This study also supports a key role of the CCK2/gastrin receptor in the development of pre- and neoplastic lesions of the pancreas. ElasCCK2 mice provide a model for carcinogenesis by transformation and dedifferentiation of acinar cells.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND AIMS The role of the cholecystokinin B (CCK(B))/gastrin receptor in the pancreatic response to a standard meal was investigated in the pig. METHODOLOGY Twenty-four pigs were prepared surgically for the collection of the pancreatic juice and an intravenous perfusion. On experimental days, the pigs were perfused with one of two CCK(B)antagonists (L-365,260 or PD 135156) or the vehicle for 2 hours. We offered them a standard meal 30 minutes after the beginning of the perfusion. The pancreatic secretion was collected for 4 hours starting 30 minutes before the perfusion. Its volume was recorded, and the protein concentrations were assayed. RESULTS Neither antagonist totally abolished the postprandial peak of the pancreatic protein. CONCLUSIONS We suggest that the stimulation of pancreatic protein secretion by a meal is not mediated by CCK(B)/gastrin receptors. Because we previously showed that the CCK(A)receptor antagonist MK329 was no more able to abolish this response, CCK is probably not responsible for this response.

Abstract
In bovine species, as in human, the pancreas predominantly expresses cholecystokinin-B (CCK-B)/gastrin receptors. However, the role of this receptor in the regulation of meal-stimulated pancreatic enzyme release has not been determined. In milk-fed calves, we previously described prandial patterns of exocrine pancreatic secretion and a long prefeeding phase was observed. The present study was aimed at determining both the role of external stimuli in the outset of the prefeeding phase and the implication of pancreatic CCK-A and CCK-B/gastrin receptors in the mediation of pancreatic response to feeding. The first objective was studied by suppressing external stimuli associated with food intake (unexpected meal) and the second by infusing highly specific and potent antagonists of CCK-A (SR 27897) and CCK-B/gastrin (PD 135158) receptors during the prandial period. When calves were given an unexpected meal, the long prefeeding increase in pancreatic secretion was absent. SR 27897 (but not PD 135158) inhibited the preprandial phase and greatly reduced postprandial pancreatic juice and enzyme outflows. The expectancy of a meal seemed to elicit an increased pancreatic response right before a meal and CCK-A receptors may mediate this information via neural pathways. The implication of CCK and CCK-A receptors in mediating the postfeeding pancreatic response was also demonstrated. The participation of CCK-B/gastrin receptors in this regulation was not demonstrated.Key words: CCK-A and CCK-B/gastrin receptors, cholecystokinin, exocrine pancreatic secretion, feeding, milk-fed calf.

Abstract
In rodents, cholecystokinin (CCK) induces pancreatic enzyme secretion and pancreas growth through its CCK(A) receptors. It is unknown whether occupation of the CCK(B) receptors present in pig and human pancreas can cause the same effects. This study evaluates CCK(B) receptor expression in rat, mouse, pig, and fetal human pancreata using Northern blot, Western blot, and immunofluorescence techniques. The reported 2.7-kb CCK(B) receptor mRNA transcript in the rat brain and gastric fundus is absent in pancreas; the message was, however, detected by RT-PCR and by a CCK(B) receptor antibody as an 80-kDa protein present uniquely in islet delta-cells. Proteins of 50 and 80 kDa appear in mouse pancreas, and proteins of 50 and 115 kDa appear in pig and human pancreas, respectively, all localized in islet delta-cells. Gastrin mRNAs are strongly present in fetal rat pancreas, and the hormone is localized in islets; both are repressed 10 days after birth. In conclusion, the CCK(B) receptors are present in pancreas of four species with exclusive location in islet delta-cells. In such a location, they could be indirectly involved in the control of enzyme secretion.

Abstract
In order to determine which physiological functions can be regulated by the pancreatic CCKB/gastrin receptor, studies were carried out on pancreatic acini from mice expressing transgenic CCKB/gastrin receptors in the exocrine pancreas (ElasCCKB mice). Acini were stimulated by sulfated gastrin in the presence of SR 27897 (1.8 microM), blocking endogenous CCKA receptors. After 30 min incubation with gastrin, the secretion of chymotrypsinogen and amylase showed superimposable monophasic dose-response curves. Enzyme secretion was detectable and maximal at 100 pM and 1 nM of gastrin, respectively. No increase in chymotrypsinogen and amylase mRNAs was detected for doses of gastrin which specifically occupy the CCKB/gastrin receptor. In contrast, gastrin stimulated total protein synthesis in isolated acini from ElasCCKB mice. [35S]Methionine incorporation into total proteins was increased dose-dependently to a maximum for 30 pM gastrin and inhibited with higher doses (> 300 pM). Gastrin stimulated p70 S6 kinase activity for concentrations ranging from 10 pM to 1 nM. Gastrin-stimulated p70 S6 kinase activity and protein synthesis were blocked by rapamycin and wortmannin. Therefore, in ElasCCKB mice acinar cells, the CCKB/gastrin receptor mediates enzyme release and protein synthesis. However, a more efficient coupling of the CCKB/gastrin receptor to protein synthesis than to enzyme secretion was demonstrated. CCKB/gastrin receptor-stimulated protein synthesis likely results from an enhancement of mRNA translation and involves phosphatidyl inositol 3-kinase and p70 S6 kinase.

Abstract
Local and temporal expression of CCK(A) and CCK(B)/gastrin receptor genes was studied in the calf with a quantitative Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) method. Cerebral cortex, antrum, fundus, gall bladder, pancreas and liver were analyzed in calves at 0, 2, 7, 21, 28 and 150 days of age. Cerebral cortex and pancreas expressed both receptor genes with a ratio between CCK(A) and CCK(B)/gastrin receptor transcripts varying according to the age. Gall bladder and fundus showed an exclusive expression of CCK(A) and CCK(B)/gastrin receptor mRNAs, respectively, with the highest levels of transcripts in newborn and 28-day-old calves. The rank order for CCK(A) receptor mRNA expression was gall bladder > pancreas > cerebral cortex >>> antrum and that for CCK(B)/gastrin receptor mRNA expression was cerebral cortex / pancreas / fundus >> antrum. No CCK(A) and CCK(B)/gastrin receptor mRNA was detected in liver, regardless of the age of calves. The present data represent a basis for a better understanding of the ontogeny of physiological functions linked to the CCK(A) and CCK(B)/gastrin receptors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The presence of cholecystokinin (CCK)-B/gastrin receptors in the pancreas of higher mammals including humans has been shown, but their physiological function in the normal pancreas is unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate whether they couple to the secretory machinery of normal acinar cells. METHODS A transgenic mouse strain expressing the human CCK-B/gastrin receptor in the exocrine pancreas was created. The transgenic construction used the promoter region of the elastase I gene and the human CCK-B/gastrin receptor gene. Analysis of ElasCCKB mice included polymerase chain reaction and receptor autoradiography. Molecular and binding features of the CCK-B/gastrin receptor were determined by Western blot and radioligand binding studies. Amylase secretion and inositol phosphate production assays were used in functional characterization. RESULTS The CCK-B/gastrin receptor was expressed in the exocrine pancreas and had typical molecular and binding features. CCK and sulfated gastrin stimulated enzyme secretion with identical potencies and efficacies. They activated phospholipase C, but CCK was 60-fold less potent than sulfated gastrin. CONCLUSIONS The data show that the CCK-B/gastrin receptor mediates exocytosis in acinar cells and can differentially couple to phospholipase C depending on the agonist. The ElasCCKB mice provide a useful model to study phospholipase C-dependent and -independent intracellular transduction pathways leading to pancreatic exocrine secretion.
