Although gastric enterochromaffin-like (ECL) carcinoid tumors are known to develop in patients with long-standing hypergastrinemia, the expression of the gastrin receptor gene in ECL cells has not yet been demonstrated. Therefore, this study was designed to examine gastrin receptor gene expression in ECL cells. Mastomys gastric mucosal cells isolated by enzyme dispersion were separated into 10 fractions (F1-10) by centrifugal elutriation. Each fraction was examined histologically to determine whether they contained ECL and/or parietal cells and Northern blot analysis was used to confirm the presence of histidine decarboxylase and H+, K(+)-ATPase gene expression. ECL cells were found only in fractions 1 and 2, whereas parietal cells were detected in fractions 6-10. Gastrin receptor gene expression was demonstrated in both parietal cell-rich and ECL cell-rich fractions. In addition, the gastrin receptor cDNA sequences obtained from the two of the fractions (F1 and 8) were identical. These results suggest that gastrin receptor genes are expressed in ECL cells as well as in parietal cells and that these receptors are identical.

D011949 Receptors, Cholecystokinin Cell surface proteins that bind cholecystokinin (CCK) with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes influencing the behavior of cells. Cholecystokinin receptors are activated by GASTRIN as well as by CCK-4; CCK-8; and CCK-33. Activation of these receptors evokes secretion of AMYLASE by pancreatic acinar cells, acid and PEPSIN by stomach mucosal cells, and contraction of the PYLORUS and GALLBLADDER. The role of the widespread CCK receptors in the central nervous system is not well understood.

D004759 Enterochromaffin Cells A subtype of enteroendocrine cells found in the gastrointestinal MUCOSA, particularly in the glands of PYLORIC ANTRUM; DUODENUM; and ILEUM. These cells secrete mainly SEROTONIN and some neuropeptides. Their secretory granules stain readily with silver (argentaffin stain).

D005753 Gastric Mucosa Lining of the STOMACH, consisting of an inner EPITHELIUM, a middle LAMINA PROPRIA, and an outer MUSCULARIS MUCOSAE. The surface cells produce MUCUS that protects the stomach from attack by digestive acid and enzymes. When the epithelium invaginates into the LAMINA PROPRIA at various region of the stomach (CARDIA; GASTRIC FUNDUS; and PYLORUS), different tubular gastric glands are formed. These glands consist of cells that secrete mucus, enzymes, HYDROCHLORIC ACID, or hormones.

D005755 Gastrins A family of gastrointestinal peptide hormones that excite the secretion of GASTRIC JUICE. They may also occur in the central nervous system where they are presumed to be neurotransmitters. Gastrin
D006640 Histidine Decarboxylase An enzyme that catalyzes the decarboxylation of histidine to histamine and carbon dioxide.
