[PMID: 24468546 PMCID: PMC3989439 DOI: 10.1016/j.peptides.2014.01.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2013] [Revised: 01/14/2014] [Accepted: 01/15/2014] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Reduction of food intake by exogenous cholecystokinin (CCK) has been demonstrated primarily for its short molecular form, CCK-8. Mounting evidence, however, implicates CCK-58 as a major physiologically active CCK form, with different neural and exocrine response profiles than CCK-8. In three studies, we compared meal-pattern effects of intraperitoneal injections CCK-8 vs. CCK-58 in undeprived male Sprague-Dawley rats consuming sweetened condensed milk. In study 1, rats (N=10) received CCK-8, CCK-58 (0.45, 0.9, 1.8 and 3.6 nmol/kg) or vehicle before a 4-h test-food presentation. At most doses, both CCK-8 and CCK-58 similarly reduced meal size relative to vehicle. Meal-size reduction prompted a compensatory shortening of the intermeal interval (IMI) after CCK-8, but not after CCK-58, which uniquely increased the satiety ratio (IMI/size of the preceding meal). In the second study, lick patterns were monitored after administration of 0.9 nmol/kg CCK-58, CCK-8 or vehicle. Lick cluster size, lick efficiency and interlick-interval distribution remained unaltered compared to vehicle, implying natural satiation, rather than illness, following both CCK forms. In study 3, threshold satiating doses of the two CCK forms were given at 5 and 30 min after meal termination, respectively. CCK 58, but not CCK-8 increased the intermeal interval and satiety ratio compared to vehicle. In conclusion, while CCK 58 and CCK-8 both stimulate satiation, thereby reducing meal size, CCK-58 consistently exerts a satiety effect, prolonging IMI. Given the physiological prominence of CCK-58, these results suggest that CCK's role in food intake regulation may require re-examination.

Abstract
Various molecular forms of CCK reduce food intake in rats. Although CCK-8 is the most studied form, we reported that CCK-58 is the only detectable endocrine peptide form in rats. We investigated the dark-phase rat chow intake pattern following injection of CCK-8 and CCK-58. Ad libitum-fed male Sprague-Dawley rats were intraperitoneally injected with CCK-8, CCK-58 (0.6, 1.8, and 5.2 nmol/kg), or vehicle. Food intake pattern was assessed during the dark phase using an automated weighing system that allowed continuous undisturbed monitoring of physiological eating behavior. Both CCK-8 and CCK-58 dose dependently reduced 1-h, dark-phase food intake, with an equimolar dose of 1.8 nmol being similarly effective (-49% and -44%). CCK-58 increased the latency to the first meal, whereas CCK-8 did not. The intermeal interval was reduced after CCK-8 (1.8 nmol/kg, -41%) but not after CCK-58. At this dose, CCK-8 increased the satiety ratio by 80% and CCK-58 by 160%, respectively, compared with vehicle. When behavior was assessed manually, CCK-8 reduced locomotor activity (-31%), whereas grooming behavior was increased (+59%). CCK-58 affected neither grooming nor locomotor activity. In conclusion, reduction of food intake by CCK-8 and CCK-58 is achieved by differential modulation of food intake microstructure and behavior. These data highlight the importance of studying the molecular forms of peptides that exist in vivo in tissue and circulation of the animal being studied.

Abstract
The gonadotropins, luteinizing hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin and follicle-stimulating hormone, are key regulators of reproduction. As a result of this function, they have been the focus of research for many years. Isolated or recombinant proteins have been successfully used therapeutically for the treatment of infertility; and, in the case of compounds that block gonadotropin activity, for their potential utility in contraception. Until recently, selective small molecules modulating gonadotropin receptor activity have proven difficult to identify. The gonadotropins are glycoproteins that are released into the plasma as differently glycosylated isoforms and bind to specific G protein-coupled receptors. The degree of glycosylation on the gonadotropins has been shown to be important for the biological activities of these hormones and is differentially regulated depending on the steroidal status. Recent data from the study of glycosylated variants of LH, hCG and FSH have revealed that these isoforms have distinct signaling properties that allow for gonadotropin pleiotropic signals to be transduced effectively at the level of the receptor. Thus, glycosylated variants of the gonadotropins behave as biased agonists. Recently, newly developed, small molecule, synthetic allosteric compounds have been identified that are capable of mimicking this biased signaling. This opens the door to development of orally available, drug-like therapies for reproductive disorders that offer similar pleiotropic richness as that offered by the complex, endogenous hormones.

Abstract
The C-terminal octapeptide of cholecystokinin (CCK8) includes some easily oxidizable amino acids. The oxidation of CCK8 by reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) and hydroxyl radicals (OH(*)) was investigated using reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) and subsequent electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. The mechanism of oxidation of CCK8 in the H(2)O(2) system differed from that of CCK8 in the Fenton system, in which OH(*) are produced. In the H(2)O(2) system, (28)Met and (31)Met were oxidized to methionine sulfoxide, and no further oxidation or degradation/hydrolysis occurred. On the other hand, in the Fenton system, (28)Met and (31)Met residues were oxidized to methionine sulfone via the formation of methionine sulfoxide. In addition, the oxidized product was observed at the Trp residue but not at the Tyr residue, and small peptide fragments from CCK8 were observed in the Fenton system. From these results, it was concluded that (28)Met and (31)Met residues of CCK8 are susceptible to oxidation by ROS.

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
Evidence suggests that amino terminal extensions of CCK-8 affect the carboxyl terminal bioactive region of CCK. Cat CCK-58 was purified by low pressure reverse phase and ion-exchange chromatography steps and several reverse phase HPLC steps. The purified peptide and its tryptic fragments were characterized by mass spectral analysis and microsequence analysis. The structure of cat CCK-58 is: AVQKVDGEPRAHLGALLARYIQQARKAPSGRMSVIKNLQSLDPSHRISDRDY(SO3) MGWMDF-amide. Cat and dog CCK-58 are identical except for position 40 which is serine in cat and asparagine in dog. Radioimmunoassay detected cat CCK-58 about 1/10th as well as dog CCK-58, indicating a marked effect on C-terminal immunoreactivity. Cat CCK-58 with a serine at position 40, the same residue found in pig, mouse, cow and rabbit CCK-58, can be used as a unique bioprobe for defining how amino terminal amino acids influence the structure and bioactivity of the carboxyl terminal region of CCK.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We propose that regions outside the bioactive 7-amino acid carboxyl terminus of cholecystokinin (CCK)-58 influence its biological activity. Here we evaluate if sequence variation of the N-terminal regions of rabbit and canine CCK-58 changes their biological activities. METHODS Cholecystokinin-like immunoreactivity was purified from rabbit intestinal extracts by reverse phase and ion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography steps. The peptide was characterized by microsequence and mass spectral characterizations of the intact and tryptic peptides. Canine and rabbit CCK-58 were evaluated for their CCK1 and CCK2 receptor binding, receptor activation, and immunologic properties. RESULTS The sequence of rabbit CCK-58 differs from that of canine CCK-58 in 9 of the amino terminal 40 residues. Canine CCK-58 was approximately 3-fold more potent than rabbit CCK-58 for CCK1 receptor binding and CCK2 receptor binding, but about the same potency for stimulation of amylase release from purified acinar cells. The canine peptide was 9-fold more immunoreactive than rabbit CCK-58. CONCLUSIONS Canine and rabbit CCK-58 have different biological and immunologic properties that can only result from differences in their N-terminal sequences which influence the properties of their identical carboxyl termini. These results are the first direct demonstration that amino acids outside the C-terminus of CCK-58 influence CCK biological activity.

Abstract
Cholecystokinin (CCK) is expressed in the central and peripheral nervous systems and functions as a neurotransmitter and neuroendocrine hormone. The in vivo forms of CCK include CCK-83, -58, -39, -33, -22, -12, and -8. Tissues in the periphery produce the larger forms of CCK, such as CCK-58, whereas the brain primarily produces CCK-8. The different biologically active forms of CCK observed in vivo may result from cell-specific differences in endoproteolytic cleavage during post-translational processing. Evidence suggests that cleavages of pro-CCK occur in a specific sequential order. To further delineate the progression of cleavages during pro-CCK maturation, mutagenesis was used to disrupt putative mono- and dibasic cleavage sites. AtT-20 cells transfected with wild-type rat prepro-CCK secret CCK-22 and -8. Mutagenesis of the cleavage sites of pro-CCK had profound effects on the products that were produced. Substitution of basic cleavage sites with nonbasic amino acids inhibits cleavage and leads to the secretion of pathway intermediates such as CCK-83, -33, and -12. These results suggest that CCK-58 is cleaved to both CCK-33 and -22. Furthermore, CCK-8 and -12 are likely derived from cleavage of CCK-33 but not CCK-22. Alanine substitution at the same site completely blocked production of amidated products, whereas serine substitution did not. The cleavages observed at nonbasic residues in this study may represent the activity of enzymes other than PC1 and carboxypeptidase E, such as the enzyme SKI-1. A model for the progression of pro-CCK processing in AtT-20 cells is proposed. The findings in this study further supports the hypothesis that pro-CCK undergoes parallel pathways of proteolytic cleavages.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Secretagogue receptors and their intracellular signaling pathways regulate pancreatic physiology and may be altered in pathophysiology. Therefore, understanding of the continued progress into their nature and function is relevant to both biology and disease. RECENT FINDINGS The major secretagogue receptors on acinar cells include those binding cholecystokinin and acetylcholine, whereas secretin receptors regulate duct cells. Two physical models of the cholecystokinin receptor and ligand binding have been proposed through extensive structure-activity studies. Receptor oligomerization has been described for both cholecystokinin and secretin receptors. Ca plays a central role in the control of digestive enzyme secretion and is largely mobilized from intracellular stores. Inositol trisphosphate has been joined by two other Ca-releasing messengers, cyclic ADP ribose and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate, in initiating and coordinating Ca signaling. Progress has also been made in determining the roles of specific organelles in Ca release. Ca triggers secretion, and knowledge of the function and regulation of the proteins involved in exocytosis is accumulating. Continuing advances have also been made in understanding the signaling pathways regulating protein synthesis and growth in adult pancreas. The protein kinase mammalian target of rapamycin and its downstream targets play a central role in protein synthesis, whereas the protein phosphatase calcineurin was recently reported to regulate pancreatic growth. Other signaling molecules include the MAP kinases, PKCs, cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases, and nitric oxide. SUMMARY The current findings reviewed here are illuminating the structure and function of receptors on pancreatic acinar and duct cells and the multiple intracellular signaling pathways that they initiate. Understanding of these mechanisms is contributing to knowledge of normal pancreatic functions and alterations in disease such as pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
In this work, we 1) synthesized rat CCK-58, 2) determined the amounts and forms of rat CCK in whole blood after stimulation of its release by casein, 3) determined the potency of CCK-8 and CCK-58 peptides to displace labeled CCK-8 from CCK(A) and CCK(B) receptors transfected into Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, and 4) examined the biological actions of CCK-8 and rat CCK-58 in an anesthetized rat model. CCK-58 was the only detected endocrine form of CCK in rat blood. Synthetic rat CCK-58 was less potent than CCK-8 for displacing the label from CCK(A) and CCK(B) receptors in transfected CHO cells. However, rat CCK-58 was more potent than CCK-8 for stimulation of pancreatic protein secretion in the anesthetized rat. In addition, CCK-58 but not CCK-8 stimulated fluid secretion in this anesthetized rat model. These data suggest that regions outside the COOH terminus of rat CCK-58 influence the expression of CCK biological activity. The presence of only CCK-58 in the circulation and the fact that its biological activity differs from CCK-8 suggests that CCK-58 deserves scrutiny in other physiological models of CCK activity.
