The current study was undertaken to determine the presence and distribution of PAC1-Rs within the gastric mucosa. Polyclonal antibodies to the carboxyl terminus of the rat PAC1-R were generated and shown to be specific against the PAC1-R expressed in NIH 3T3 cells. Western blot analysis using isolated (approximately 85% pure) ECL cell membranes identified a 48 kD protein consistent with the calculated molecular mass of the cloned PAC1-R. RT/PCR performed using specific primers for the PAC1-R confirmed the presence of splice variants of the rat PAC1-R, but not VPAC1-R or VPAC2-R. These data provide the first direct evidence for the existence of functional PACAP Type I receptors on ECL cells of the gastric mucosa and suggest a potential role for PACAP in the stimulation of gastric acid secretion and in the regulation of the growth of ECL cells.
本研究旨在确定PAC1受体在胃黏膜中的存在情况及分布。针对大鼠PAC1受体羧基末端产生了多克隆抗体,并证明其对NIH 3T3细胞中表达的PAC1受体具有特异性。使用分离的(约85%纯)肠嗜铬样(ECL)细胞膜进行的蛋白质印迹分析鉴定出一种48 kD的蛋白质,与克隆的PAC1受体的计算分子量一致。使用针对PAC1受体的特异性引物进行的逆转录/聚合酶链反应(RT/PCR)证实了大鼠PAC1受体剪接变体的存在,但未检测到血管活性肠肽受体1(VPAC1-R)或血管活性肠肽受体2(VPAC2-R)。这些数据为胃黏膜ECL细胞上存在功能性I型垂体腺苷酸环化酶激活肽(PACAP)受体提供了首个直接证据,并提示PACAP在刺激胃酸分泌和调节ECL细胞生长中可能发挥作用。
