Purification and partial characterization of a peptide cross reacting with antibodies to gastric inhibitory polypeptideOtte, Susan Carol January 1984 (has links)
Gel filtration coupled with radioimmunoassay of fractions has
demonstrated the existence of an 8000 dalton immunoreactive form of GIP
(glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide or gastric inhibitory
polypeptide), which may be a precursor in the biosynthetic pathway. A
monoclonal antibody to GIP has been shown to have highly suitable
characteristics for affinity purification of different species of IR-GIP.
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for GIP,
employing the monoclonal antibody and was used for screening fractions for
peptides with the same antigenic determinant i.e. IR-foras of GIP.
Classical strategy used in peptide purification may result in loss of
related peptides if they are sensitive to the pH or temperature conditions
used. Tissue from hog duodenal and jejunal mucosa was boiled and extracted
into acetic acid. Peptides were then adsorbed to alginic acid, eluted with
200 mM HC1, precipitated with NaCl and desalted on Sephadex G-25. The
desalted material was adjusted to pH 7.0 with 200mM ammonia and extracted
with methanol. The methanol insoluble fraction demonstrated the highest
content of IR-GIP₈₀₀₀⋅ The overall acidic charge on the larger IR-GIP oUUU
moiety suggested the possibility that it might not be adsorbed to alginic acid. The monoclonal antibody to porcine GIP₅₀₀₀ was coupled to cyanogen bromide activated Sepharose -4B. The peptide fraction which was not adsorbed to alginic acid was applied to the column and the fraction which bound to the ligand was eluted with 100 mM HC1. The immunoreactive material was rotary evaporated to dryness and further purified to a monocomponent by HPLC. A µBondapak C₁₈ column and a linear gradient of acetonitrile in water containing 0.1% TFA was used for HPLC. Amino acid analyses revealed the following composition: Asx (6), Thr (2), Ser (3), Glx (3), Pro (3), Gly (4), Ala (8), Val (5), Met (1), He (0), Leu (7), Tyr (1), Phe (3), His (4), Lys (5), Arg (3), Trp (+). The N-terminal residue was identified as valine using the dansylation method. Cleavage of the molecule with trypsin and separation of the tryptic peptides on HPLC showed 2 peptides with elution times similar to tryptic peptides of GIP. Application of monocomponent IR-GIP designated IR-LGIP C, and GIP to the HPLC system confirmed the two peptides to be separate entities. Biological activity was assessed in the isolated perfused rat pancreas, a model used for measurement of the insulin releasing effect of GIP. IR-LGIP C did not demonstrate insulinotropic activity. It is unlikely that this polypeptide is a proform of GIP. It shares common immunoreactivity but lacks the necessary common core of amino acid residues. / Medicine, Faculty of / Cellular and Physiological Sciences, Department of / Graduate

Study of Helicobacter Pylori Colonization of Patches of Heterotopic Gastric Mucosa (HGM) at the Upper EsophagusBorhan-Manesh, F., Farnum, James B. 01 January 1993 (has links)
Helicobacter pylori (HP), known to cause active chronic gastritis, has primarily been found in gastric-type mucosa. Even in the duodenum, the organism was detected in islands of metaplastic gastric mucosa. HP has also been found in gastric metaplasia of Barrett's esophagus in 15-50%. The aim of our study was to determine: (1) the frequency with which HP is found on histopathological sections of heterotopic gastric mucosa (HGM) patch(es) at the upper esophagus, as compared to that of the stomach proper, and (2) the histopathological significance of infection in the HGM patches. From 63 patients with HGM patches at the upper esophagus, 48 patients were found to have concurrent adequate specimen from the stomach for modified Steiner's stain. In 22 patients (45.8%), pair sections from HGM and stomach were negative for HP. Of 26 patients (54.1%) HP-positive on sections from the antrum and/or body (both in 21 cases) nine patients (18.7%) demonstrated HP in the HGM patches. Whereas focal acute inflammatory changes on the HandE section of HGM was present in six patients, HP was detected in HGM only in one. Chronic inflammatory cell infiltration was detected in all nine HP-positive HGM patches and in 37 of 39 HP-negative patches. A mixed acute and chronic inflammatory cell infiltration was found in five of these 37 patients. Our data demonstrate that HP infection of HGM patches at the upper esophagus is part of the HP gastritis and an independent colonization of HGM patches without gastric infection does not occur. No correlation was found between the presence of acute and chronic inflammatory changes in HandE-stained section and positivity of HP in modified Steiner's section of HGM.

The study of humoral inhibition of gastric acid secretionMeloche, Robert Mark January 1985 (has links)
Part I Inhibition of Gastric Acid Secretion
Fat in the small bowel is a powerful inhibitor of gastric acid secretion. The gastric inhibitory agent(s) liberated from intestinal mucosa by the presence of fat has been named enterogastrone. Gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP), has been considered a candidate for enterogastrone. GIP is released into the circulation by infusion of fat into the proximal small bowel and inhibits gastric acid secretion under select experimental conditions. It has been proposed that the release of somatostatin, a potent inhibitor of acid secretion, may mediate the gastric inhibitory action of GIP. Recently, monoclonal antibodies raised to both GIP and somatostatin have been produced. The suitability of these antibodies for the study of the physiological roles proposed for their respective peptides is not known.
This study examined the inhibitory action of GIP and somatostatin on gastric acid secretion in the rat and in man. GIP was found to be a weak inhibitor of meal-stimulated gastric acid secretion in man when given in supraphysiological doses. When administered at a dose which produces less than the normal maximal physiological plasma level, GIP had little effect on the acid secretory response to the meal and no effect on either plasma gastrin or plasma SLI concentrations. In the rat, infusion of GIP produced a 60% reduction of meal-stimulated acid secretion, independent of changes in serum gastrin release.
Intraduodenal infusion of oleic acid in the rat reduced the gastric acid secretory response to a liver extract meal by 80% without affecting serum gastrin levels. A humoral gastric inhibitory agent, or "enterogastrone", was demonstrated in the portal blood of the rat following fat infusion. Intravenous infusion of portal serum, which had been collected during an intraduodenal infusion of fat, reduced meal-stimulated acid secretion in a second animal.
A comparison of the inhibition of gastric acid secretion produced by intraduodenal infusion of either glucose or oleic acid with the release of IR-GIP in the portal serum was performed. The inhibitory effect of an intraduodenal fat infusion could not be explained by plasma IR-GIP. The release of GIP was not found to play a significant role in the mechanism for gastric inhibition by intestinal fat.
Part II
Monoclonal antibodies as Probes of Humoral Inhibitors of Gastric acid secretion
The ability of recently produced monoclonal antibodies to block in vivo the inhibitory action of exogenous GIP and somatostatin on gastric acid secretion was examined. Anti-GIP monoclonal antibody demonstrated a high affinity for GIP when compared to the polyclonal rabbit antiserum R07 in the ELISA. When administered either as an intravenous bolus, or after incubation with GIP for 1 hour at 37°C, the antibody was unable to block the inhibitory effect of a GIP infusion on meal-stimulated gastric acid secretion in the rat. Monoclonal antibody 3.65H may not be suitable for the study of the role of endogenously released GIP.
Two anti-somatostatin monoclonal antibody clones 58 and 510, when given as intravenous boluses, blocked the inhibitory action of exogenous somatostatin on meal-stimulated gastric acid secretion in the rat. The antibody clone S10 however, had no effect on the inhibitory action of exogenous GIP on gastric acid secretion. Although both monoclonal antibodies S8 and SIO effectively prevented the gastric inhibitory effect of infused somatostatin, the ability to block the physiological action of endogenously released gastric somatostatin remains to be determined. / Surgery, Department of / Medicine, Faculty of / Graduate
