Regulation of histamine release from oxyntic mucosa.

Abstract

The regulation of histamine release from oxyntic mucosa is complex because of two potential sources of histamine: mast cells and enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells. A gastrin-responsive histamine pool was identified in the rat oxyntic mucosa two decades ago, but these ECL cells from the rat have not yet been isolated or characterized in vitro. In vivo studies in canine and human mucosa have been more difficult because of the high content of histamine in mast cells. Using enzyme-dispersed canine oxyntic mucosal cells, we have studied regulation of histamine release from a mast cell-depleted fraction prepared by sequential elutriation and density gradient. Histamine-like immunoreactivity was demonstrated, using peroxidase-anti-peroxidase immunohistochemistry. After short-term culture, histamine was released in response to gastrin, cholecystokinin, carbachol, and forskolin. Somatostatin potently and effectively inhibited the response to gastrin. The cultures used for these studies also contained somatostatin cells, and, furthermore, the response to gastrin was enhanced by incubation with monoclonal antibodies to somatostatin. The latter findings suggested that somatostatin was acting in these cultures by a paracrine route. This pattern contrasts with that obtained in previous studies of canine oxyntic mucosal mast cells.
