Effects of histamine and activators of the cyclic AMP system on protein synthesis in and release of high molecular weight glycoproteins from isolated gastric non-parietal cells.
1. Glycoprotein and protein synthesis in and release from pig isolated, enriched gastric mucous cells were measured by the incorporation of N-acetyl-[14C]-D-glucosamine and [3H]-L-leucine, respectively, into cellular and released acid precipitable material. 2. Histamine and activators of the adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP) system maximally stimulated total protein and glycoprotein synthesis in and release from the cells at concentrations of histamine (10 microM), forskolin (10-100 microM), 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (100 microM), and dibutyryl cyclic AMP (1-3 mM), respectively. In the presence of 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (30 microM) histamine stimulation was enhanced. 3. As shown by gel chromatography, stimulation by histamine (100 microM), forskolin (10 microM), 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (100 microM) and dibutyryl cyclic AMP (1 mM) resulted in a release of high molecular weight (approximately 2 x 10(6) daltons) glycoproteins from the cells. The histamine H2-receptor antagonist, ranitidine (100 microM), blocked the effect of histamine. 4. We conclude that cyclic AMP-dependent processes are involved in the regulation of protein and glycoprotein synthesis in and the release of high molecular weight (mucous) glycoproteins from pig gastric non-parietal cells and that histamine may be a physiological activator of this system.

Effects of PGE2, carbenoxolone, cholecystokinin, and the thromboxane-mimetic U46619 on protein and glycoprotein production by isolated pig gastric mucosal cells.
We studied the effects of prostaglandin (PG) E2, carbenoxolone, cholecystokinin-octapeptide (CCK-OP), and the thromboxane-mimetic U46619, all known to stimulate gastric mucus secretion in vivo, on protein and glycoprotein synthesis in and release from isolated and enriched pig gastric mucous cells, as measured by the incorporation of [3H]L-leucine and N-acetyl-[14C]D-glucosamine respectively into cellular and released acid insoluble material. PGE2 stimulated glycoprotein and protein synthesis (EC50 7 and 30 nmol/L, respectively) and release (EC50 50 and 140 nmol/L, respectively) in a concentration-dependent manner, whereas carbenoxolone, CCK-OP and U46619 failed to enhance the incorporation of the tracers. We conclude that stimulation of mucus secretion by PGE2 is related to direct effects on protein and glycoprotein production of gastric non-parietal cells, whereas indirect effects may be involved in the stimulation by carbenoxolone, CCK-OP, and U46619.

Stimulation of glycoprotein and protein synthesis in isolated pig gastric mucosal cells by prostaglandins.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of different prostaglandin derivatives on protein and glycoprotein synthesis and secretion in isolated and enriched pig gastric mucous cells, as measured by the incorporation of [3H]L-leucine and N-acetyl-[14C]D-glucosamine respectively into acid insoluble macromolecules (AIM). PGE2 and 16,16-dimethyl-PGE2 enhanced the incorporation of the amino sugar into cellular (EC50 8 and 75 nmol/l) and secreted (EC50 30 and 270 nmol/l) AIM in a concentration dependent manner during a 20 hours incubation. After incubation for eight hours or more they also stimulated the incorporation of [3H]L-leucine into cellular AIM. PGF2 alpha was considerably less potent (EC50 greater than 1 mumol/l) than the E-type prostaglandins. Iloprost, a stable prostacyclin analogue, was ineffective.

Effects of histamine on protein and glycoprotein production of isolated pig gastric mucosal cells.
The production of glycoprotein and protein by isolated pig gastric non-parietal cells was measured by incorporation of N-acetyl-[14C]-D-glucosamine [( 14C]GlcNAc) and [3H]-L-leucine [( 3H]Leu), respectively, into acid insoluble material (AIM). Histamine enhanced incorporation of the tracers into cellular and released AIM in a concentration-dependent manner. The H2 receptor antagonist ranitidine completely blocked the effects of histamine (100 mumol/l) on [3H]Leu incorporation into cellular and released AIM (IC50 37 and 32 mumol/l, respectively) but had no inhibitory effect on the 16,16-dimethylprostaglandin-E2 - and forskolin-stimulated tracer incorporation. The H1 receptor antagonist mepyramine did not inhibit the histamine effect. We conclude that histamine is a stimulant of protein, via H2 receptors, and glycoprotein production of isolated pig gastric non-parietal cells.

Incorporation of N-acetyl-[14C]D-glucosamine and [3H]L-leucine by isolated pig gastric mucosal cells.
Glycoprotein and protein production of isolated pig gastric mucosal cells were determined by the incorporation of N-acetyl-[14C]D-glucosamine ([14C]GlcNAc) and [3H]L-leucine ([3H]Leu) into acid-insoluble macromolecules (AIM). In four cell fractions (F1-F4), obtained by counterflow centrifugation, specific [14C]GlcNAc incorporation was greatest in the mucous cell-enriched F2. Tracer incorporation by F2 cells, proceeded linearly up to 20 h, was inhibited by cycloheximide or incubation at 0 degree C, and enhanced by PGE2 1 mumol/l. Gel chromatography of released AIM revealed that PGE2-stimulated [14C]GlcNAc incorporation was predominantly directed into high molecular weight (2 X 10(6) daltons) glycoproteins, whereas [3H]Leu incorporation was mainly related to proteins of albumin-like molecular weight. We conclude that incorporation of [14C]GlcNAc by enriched pig gastric mucous cells (F2), further analyzed by gel chromatography, is a suitable probe to study the production of high molecular weight gastric mucous glycoproteins in vitro.
