Abstract
The aims of this paper were to study: (1) the effects of TLQP-21 (non-acronic name), the C-terminal region of the VGF (non-acronic name), polypeptide (from residue 557 to 576 of VGF), on in vitro amylase release from rat isolated pancreatic lobules and acinar cells; (2) the mechanism through which TLQP-21 regulates exocrine pancreatic secretion, by using the muscarinic receptor antagonist atropine (10(-6)M) and the cyclo-oxygenase inhibitor, indomethacin (10(-6)M). On pancreatic lobules of rats, concentrations of TLQP-21 from 10(-7) to 10(-5)M significantly (p<0.05) induced a 2-3-fold increase of baseline pancreatic amylase release, measured at the end of 60 min incubation period. Co-incubation with atropine 10(-6)M did not antagonise the enzyme outflow induced by the peptide. On the contrary, co-incubation of TLQP-21 (10(-7) and 10(-6)M) with indomethacin, at concentration of 10(-6)M, which alone did not modify enzyme secretion, completely suppressed the increase of amylase evoked by TLQP-21 on pancreatic lobules. On rat pancreatic acinar cells, TLQP-21, at all the concentrations tested, was unable to affect exocrine pancreatic secretion, indicating an indirect mechanism of action on acinar cells. These results put in evidence...Continue Reading
