Studies performed on pig indicated that its pancreas was insensitive to the gastrointestinal hormone cholecystokinin (CCK) and suggested that its secretions were rather under the control of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. This study was performed to determine reasons for this insensitivity by comparing secretory responses to different secretagogues and establishing the dominant CCK receptor type. Pancreatic acini prepared from weaned piglets were evaluated for their sensitivity to carbamylcholine (Cch), caerulein, JMV-180, and secretin. RNA were extracted for CCK-A and CCK-B receptor expression using specific cRNA probes. Results indicate that pig pancreatic acini are sensitive to Cch and relatively insensitive to caerulein with no response to JMV-180, a CCKA agonist, or secretin; MK-329, a CCK-A receptor antagonist, significantly inhibited caerulein-induced enzyme secretion from 10(-8) M. The pig pancreas expresses few CCK-A mRNA receptors but a majority of CCK-B. These data demonstrate that the pig pancreas expresses a majority of CCK-B receptors. In conclusion, the pig pancreas possesses a large majority of CCK-B receptors responsible for their low sensitivity to CCK.
