Somatostatin: selective inhibition of cyclic AMP stimulated protein kinase. 1978

K E Sussman, and J W Leitner, and R M Rifkin

Utilizing histones as a substrate and measuring the production of labelled phosphoserine from [gamma 32P-ATP], cAMP stimulated protein kinase activity was found in islet and anterior pituitary secretory vesicles. Cyclic AMP (5 X 10(-7)m)stimulated islet secretory vesicle protein kinase activity as evidenced by a net increase of 32P incorporation into phosphoserine 7.35 +/- 1.68 pmoles/micrograms, (P LESS THAN 9001). Somatostatin (0.1 ng/microgram) decreased 32P phosphoserine production from 10.64 +/- 1.72 to 5.61 +/- 1.26 pmoles/microgram (Pless than .01) by suppressing cAMP stimulated protein kinase activity. In pituitary secretory vesicles, cAMP (5 X 10(-6M) increased 32P incorporation into TCA precipitable protein from 127.3 +/- 8.6 to 202.6 +/- 12.5 pmoles/microgram, P less than .001. With somatostatin (0.2 ng/microgram) there was 55.25+/- 1.95% inhibition of cAMP stimulated protein kinase activity, (P LESS THAN .001). Somatostatin did not inhibit cAMP stimulated protein kinase activity in erythrocyte membrane ghosts nor did somatostatin inhibit the partially purified cAMP dependent protein kinase from cardiac muscle. These data suggest that either (1) a specific somatostatin sensitive dependent protein kinase is present in islet and anterior pituitary secretory vesicles or (2) that a somatostatin receptor is present in these tissues which allows somatostatin to act selectively at these sites. Somatostatin may act by inhibiting the cAMP dependent protein kinase enzme in certain key tissues or subcellular organelles.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007515 Islets of Langerhans Irregular microscopic structures consisting of cords of endocrine cells that are scattered throughout the PANCREAS among the exocrine acini. Each islet is surrounded by connective tissue fibers and penetrated by a network of capillaries. There are four major cell types. The most abundant beta cells (50-80%) secrete INSULIN. Alpha cells (5-20%) secrete GLUCAGON. PP cells (10-35%) secrete PANCREATIC POLYPEPTIDE. Delta cells (~5%) secrete SOMATOSTATIN.
