Abstract

Secretion of somatostatin-like immunoreactivity (SLI) from the isolated perfused rat stomach has been shown to be inhibited by substance P. The present study was initiated to examine the possibility that this action of substance P was mediated via release of histamine. Substance P (1 μM) reduced basal secretion of SLI in agreement with earlier studies. Neither pyrilamine nor cimetidine influenced this action. Basal immunoreactive gastrin (IRG) secretion was unaffected by substance P. Addition of pyrilamine during substance P perfusion increased IRG secretion whereas addition of cimetidine resulted in a delayed decrease on removal of both compounds. Histamine (1 and 10 μM) increased SLI secretion and reduced IRG secretion. Pyrilamine increased and cimetidine decreased IRG secretion but neither drug influenced SLI secretion. Pyrilamine had no effect on histamine-stimulated SLI secretion but inhibition of IRG secretion by histamine was converted to stimulation. Cimetidine potentiated histamine stimulation of SLI secretion and inhibition of IRG secretion. In conclusion: (1) substance P inhibition of SLI secretion is unlikely to be mediated via release of histamine. (2) The gastrin cell appears to have both H1- and H2-receptors which mediate opposite actions but H1-receptor-mediated inhibition is predominant. (3) Histamine weakly stimulates SLI secretion but there may be both inhibitory and stimulatory pathways acting via H2- and H1-receptors, respectively.

      This, in consequence, might exclude the involvement of dopamine system in the observed effects. Similarly to this, several groups (Hermansen, 1980; McIntosh et al., 1987) indicated substance P to stimulate secretion of somatostatin (SOM), which apart from its antinociceptive effects (Chapman and Dickenson, 1992; Helyes et al., 2004; Pinter et al., 2006; Sandor et al., 2006) also induced barrel rotations (Van Wimersma Greidanus et al., 1987; Vécsei et al., 1989). This would fit well into our observations if not for the fact that SP inhibited the release and activity of SOM (McIntosh et al., 1987).
