controversial. Invitro studies using dispersed rat pancre- atic acini show that CCK- stimulated amylase release is insensitive to atropine or tetrodotoxin, indicating a direct action on pancreatic acini[31]. However, invivo studies of humans and dogs have shown that atropine can block CCK- stimulated pancreatic secretion, imply­ing involvement of cholinergic pathways [31]. Furthermore, enzyme output in response to low- dose CCK is reduced after vagotomy[31]. It appears that CCK can act through atropine- sensitive and atropine­insensitive pathways to stimulate pancreatic exocrine secretion. Human studies have shown that CCK- 8infu­sions at physiological doses can stimulate pancreatic enzyme output predominately in an atropine- sensitive fashion [31]. Furthermore, studies in rats indicate that physiological doses of CCK act through stimulation of vagal afferent pathways originating from the duodenal mucosa[31] (Fig.7.2). CCK receptors have been detected in the rat vagus nerve using invitro autoradiography[16]. Vagal CCK
receptors exist in high- and low- affinity
1
states[16]. Under physiological conditions, CCK appears to act through high- affinity vagal CCK1 receptors to mediate pancreatic enzyme secretion [16]. In contrast, the effect of CCK on satiety is mediated by low- affinity vagal CCK receptors [16]. These findings suggest that different affinity states of the vagal CCK receptors medi­ate different digestive functions. Under physiological
conditions, CCK seems to stimulate postprandial pan­creatic enzyme secretion through cholinergic pathways rather than through direct action on pancreatic acinar cells. M1 and M3 muscarinic receptors on pancreatic acini appear to mediate these responses[32,33] (Fig.7.2). The molecular cloning of the CCK receptor gene and subsequent recognition that its expression is virtually absent in human pancreas [16,34] suggests that CCK acts at an extrapancreatic site. One study indicates that human acini do not respond to CCK agonists, although they respond to a muscarinic agonist [16]. In contrast, acini responded to CCK agonists after adenovirus­mediated CCK receptor gene transfer[16]. Quantitative reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction showed that CCK1 receptor mRNA expression was ~30- fold lower than that for CCK2 receptors, and ~10- fold lower than for M
muscarinic receptors. In situ hybridization
3
did not detect CCK1 receptor mRNAs in adult human pancreas, supporting the concept that CCK acts at an extrapancreatic site to stimulate enzyme secretion. By contrast, a study of isolated human pancreatic acini showed that physiological levels of CCK induced Ca2+ signaling, activated mitochondrial function, and stimu­lated enzyme secretion[35]. The physiological relevance of these observations is unclear. CCK1 receptors are expressed in human pancreatic stellate cells, which lie near acinar cells[36]. Low CCK concentrations (20 pM)

Figure7.2 Sites and mechanisms of action of stimulatory and inhibitory hormones to modulate pancreatic enzyme secretion. Dosages of
cholecystokinin- 8 (CCK- 8) that produce physiological plasma CCK levels act through stimulation of the vagal afferent pathway, which originates from the gastroduodenal mucosa. In contrast, dosages that produce supraphysiological plasma CCK levels act on intrapancreatic neurons and, to a lesser extent, on pancreatic acini. Serotonin (5HT) another stimulatory hormone also acts via vagal afferent pathway to evoke pancreatic enzyme secretion. In contrast, most of the inhibitory hormones such as PP, SRIF, PYY, and Pancreastatin act at a central vagal site to inhibit pancreatic secretion.

stimulate acetylcholine release, which evokes enzyme secretion from pancreatic acini. Thus, it appears that CCK may regulate cholinergic stimulation of the pan­creas through both neural and nonneural pathways.
Serotonin
Apart from CCK, intestinal serotonin (5- HT) appears to play an important role in mediating postprandial pancre­atic enzyme secretion [16]. Although 5- HT is found in the myenteric plexus, the major source of 5- HT in the gastrointestinal tract appears to be mucosal enterochro­maffin cells[37]. 5- HT is released in response to various stimuli[37], including duodenal acidification[37], instil­lation of hypertonic glucose, sucrose, or maltose solu­tions [16,38], vagal stimulation [39], and mechanical stimulation [40]. 5- HT may increase the discharge of vagal afferent fibers from the stomach and proximal intestine[41,42], which in turn can stimulate pancreatic secretion by way of a vagovagal reflex mediated by a cho­linergic afferent pathway[16]. Invivo studies show that vagal responses to luminal osmolarity and the digestion products of carbohydrates depend on the release of endogenous 5-
HT from mucosal enterochromaffin cells, which acts on 5- HT3 receptors on vagal afferent fib­ers[16] (Fig.7.2).
5- HT and CCK are the principal mediators of post­prandial enzyme secretion. A CCK1 receptor antago­nist inhibited 54% of postprandial protein secretion in rats. CCK1 receptor and 5- HT3 antagonists combined almost completely abolished exocrine pancreatic secre­tion[16], suggesting that 5- HT–dependent pancreatic stimulants account for about 50% of postprandial pan­creatic secretion. Vagal CCK and 5- HT receptors act synergistically to mediate pancreatic secretion [16], explaining how a small increase in the plasma CCK level is sufficient to produce a robust postprandial pancreatic secretion.
Other Hormones andStimulatory Factors
Insulin plays a significant role in modulating exocrine pancreatic secretion [43]. Animal studies have demon­strated that insulin potentiates the secretory response of secretin plus CCK[44], and that ouabain, an inhibitor of Na+,K+- ATPase activity, abolishes the stimulatory action of insulin. Physiologically, the actions of insulin are important because immunoneutralization experiments in conscious rats showed that pancreatic secretion of water, HCO
, and protein stimulated by a meal or by a
3
combined intravenous infusion of physiological doses of secretin and CCK is markedly reduced when the circu­lating insulin is neutralized with a rabbit anti- insulin antibody [45]. It is well known that pancreatic enzyme secretion is often reduced in diabetes without overt pan­creatic disease[46]. This may be mediated by enhanced
activation of the TRESK K
+
channel in the nodose ganglia, observed in rats with diabetes[47] or fed a high­fat diet, reducing the excitability of the nodose ganglia and contributing to decreased pancreatic secretion mediated by the vagovagal reflex[47].
Bombesin (a gastrin- releasing peptide in mammals), a polypeptide isolated from the skin of frogs and also found in the human digestive tract, stimulates pancreatic secretions that contain small amounts of HCO
and
3
high concentrations of enzymes in humans [48,49]. Bombesin can act directly on the pancreas, or indirectly by promoting CCK release from the small intestinal mucosa [50]. In other systems, bombesin reportedly exerts its effect by way of a cholinergic pathway [51]. Hence, bombesin may act through different pathways to stimulate pancreatic secretion. However, the physiologi­cal importance of bombesin in pancreatic secretion is uncertain as bombesin receptor antagonists do not influ­ence postprandial enzyme secretion in mammals[52].
Neurotensin appears to stimulate pancreatic enzyme secretion in humans and dogs. In rats, the stimulation appears to be neurally mediated, involving cholinergic vagal afferent pathways. Neurotensin is released by intes­tinal fatty acids, suggesting a role in mediating fat­stimulated pancreatic secretion. However, exogenous infusion of neurotensin in doses that stimulate pancre­atic secretion results in a plasma level much higher than after a normal meal[53,54].
Ghrelin, found in gastric endocrine cells and in neu­rons of the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus, has been shown to stimulate pancreatic enzyme secretion. It acts as an endogenous ligand for the growth hormone secre­tagogue receptor, which is found throughout the body, including the hypothalamus and the pancreatic islet and acinar cells. Depending on the animal species, ghrelin acts directly on acinar cells or centrally through the vagal cholinergic pathways[60].
Nitric oxide (NO) is present in pancreatic neurons and vascular endothelium[61], and appears to play a signifi­cant role in regulating pancreatic secretion. In humans,
NAME, an inhibitor of NO production, dose depend-
­ently reduces enzyme secretion stimulated by secretin and cerulein [62]. In vitro, NO synthase inhibition has no effect on amylase release or intracellular Ca2+ concentra­tion in rat pancreatic acinar cells stimulated by carbachol and CCK- 8[63]. - NAME also reduces CCK- stimulated pancreatic microvascular blood flow and at the same time decreases pancreatic fluid and protein output in rats[64]. This observation may have clinical importance because inadequate blood flow has been associated with clinical pancreatitis. Interestingly, treatment with NO donor - arginine before and after cerulein injection increases pancreatic blood flow and reduces the severity of cerulein­induced hemorrhagic pancreatitis. These observations

suggest NO may protect the pancreas from injury, possi­bly because it increases pancreatic blood flow.
Other peptides with stimulatory effects on enzyme secretion include those with direct effects on acinar cells, including atrial natriuretic factor (ANF), fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), and histamine. Other pep­tides stimulate pancreatic secretion through neural mechanisms, including C- natriuretic factor (CNP) and melatonin. The effect of amylin on enzyme secretion is unresolved.
Neural Mechanisms
Parasympathetic Nervous System
The pancreas is innervated by parasympathetic and sym­pathetic nerve fibers. The parasympathetic fibers pass through the pancreas directly through the vagus nerve and indirectly by the celiac ganglion, the splanchnic nerves, and perhaps through the intramural plexus of the duodenum. In humans, the vagus nerve appears to play an important role in mediating pancreatic secretion. Insulin-
induced hypoglycemia, which is presumed to stimulate the vagus nerve centrally, augments secretin­stimulated pancreatic protein output [65]. Vagotomy reduces the HCO
secretory response to exogenous
3
hormones. Furthermore, vagotomy also reduces pancre­atic enzyme responses to intestinal stimulants and food[31,66]. Exogenous cholinergic stimulation appears to primarily modulate the actions of gut peptides on pancreatic secretion but has no physiologically relevant effect on CCK or secretin release[67].
In humans, stimulation of duodenal volume receptors and osmoreceptors elicits a pancreatic enzyme response mediated by cholinergic neurons[31]. Increased firing in peripheral afferent vagal neurons and in central sites has been recorded after gastric distension and intestinal per­fusion with amino acids and HCl[68,69].
Intrapancreatic postganglionic cholinergic neurons regulate enzyme and HCO
secretion. These neurons
3
are activated by central input during the cephalic phase and by vagovagal reflexes initiated by gastric- and intestinal- phase stimulation. Acetylcholine released by pancreatic neurons may act directly on acinar cells or potentiate the action of secretin on HCO
secretion
3
from duct cells invitro. Acetylcholine and CCK interac­tion is additive. The enteropancreatic reflex may also play a role in mediating postprandial enzyme secre­tion [31]. This is especially important after chronic vagotomy[70].
Sympathetic Nervous System
Adrenergic innervation of the pancreas occurs mainly through the splanchnic nerves, which are distributed to blood vessels, with a few passing to acini and ducts[28].
Activation of splanchnic nerves usually inhibits exo­crine and endocrine pancreatic secretion; splanchnic nerve stimulation decreases and splanchnicectomy increases pancreatic secretion in response to pancreatic stimulants[28,71]. These responses are likely mediated by vasoconstriction caused by stimulation of α- adrenergic receptors on blood vessels. Physiologically, the major role for adrenergic activation appears to be the inhibition of fluid and HCO
secretion, which is mainly
3
mediated by vasoconstriction.
Enteropancreatic Neural Reflex
Functional and anatomic enteropancreatic neural con­nections have been demonstrated by anterograde and retrograde tracing. Neurons in the ganglia of the myen­teric plexus of the stomach and duodenum project directly to the pancreas [72]. Stimulation of duodenal myenteric neurons can influence endocrine and exocrine pancreatic functions in the rat. These enteropancreatic neural pathways have cholinergic and serotonergic com­ponents[72,73]. The cholinergic nerves from the duode­num stimulate intrapancreatic neurons through nicotinic synapses. In contrast, stimulation of enteropancreatic serotonergic axons inhibits pancreatic secretion through presynaptic 5-
HT1P receptors on cholinergic nerves[72]. The physiological role of the serotonergic enteropancre­atic neural pathways is unclear.
Inhibition ofPancreatic Secretion
The regulation of pancreatic secretion depends on the balance between inhibitory and stimulatory influences exerted through hormones and the autonomic nervous system. The inhibitory phase of pancreatic secretion is mediated by many hormones.
Pancreatic polypeptide (PP) is localized in the islets of Langerhans and between the acinar cells of the exocrine pancreas[74]. PP secretion is regulated mainly by a cho­linergic mechanism [75]. Postprandial PP release is mediated by a long vagovagal reflex and short local cho­linergic pathways[75].
In humans and dogs, infusion of physiological concen­trations of PP inhibits basal and stimulated pancreatic secretion[75,76]. Invivo, PP appears to act preferentially by inhibiting vagal stimulation[77]. Invitro, PP inhibits pancreatic enzyme secretion by way of presynaptic mod­ulation of acetylcholine release [78]. Because its secre­tion is under cholinergic control and it acts by interfering with cholinergic transmission, PP is an ideal candidate to modulate pancreatic secretion stimulated by the cholin­ergic enteropancreatic reflex. PP may also act centrally, as suggested by the presence of PP receptors in discrete locations in the hypothalamus, limbic system, brain

stem, and other central locations[79]. Microinjection of PP into the dorsal motor nucleus (DMV) inhibits CCK­stimulated pancreatic secretion, suggesting that the DMV is an important site for neural feedback inhibition of pancreatic exocrine secretion[80]. Hence, PP acts at multiple brain stem sites to modulate vagal cholinergic efferent output to the pancreas[81].
Glucagon also inhibits pancreatic exocrine secretion stimulated by secretin and CCK or by ingestion of a test meal in dogs, cats, rats, and humans[82–84]. The inhibi­tory characteristics are reduced flow volume and decreased HCO
and enzyme secretion. Currently, the
3
sites of action are unclear.
Somatostatin, present in the pancreas as well as the upper gastrointestinal tract and central nervous system, may also play a role in the inhibition of pancreatic secre­tion. Research indicates that somatostatin does not act on peripheral vagal afferent or efferent pathways nor directly on pancreatic acinar; it exerts its inhibitory action at a central vagal site[85]. Somatostatin injected into the DMV significantly inhibits pancreatic exocrine secretion evoked by intravenous administration of CCK- 8 or 2- deoxy- - glucose, suggesting somatostatin acts through a central cholinergic mechanism[16].
Enteroglucagon is an intestinal hormone believed to mediate the inhibitory action of hypertonic glucose infu­sion into the jejunum. In animal studies, infusion of oxyntomodulin, a 37- amino acid glucagon- containing peptide isolated from porcine lower intestine, inhibits basal and cerulein- stimulated pancreatic secretion of HCO
and enzymes[86]. The inhibitory action of enter-
3
oglucagon is 10- fold more potent than that of pancreatic glucagon.
Peptide YY (PYY) is a 36- amino acid peptide found in the distal intestine and colon of humans and experimen­tal animals [87]. It is released by fat and, to a lesser degree, protein in the ileum or colon. PYY infusion in dogs significantly inhibits basal and meal- stimulated pancreatic HCO
and enzyme secretion [88].
3
Physiological experiments demonstrate that intra- ileal, but not colonic, carbohydrate increases plasma PYY lev­els and decreases amylase secretion in dogs [89]. In humans, ileal carbohydrate perfusion inhibits exocrine pancreatic secretion. Therefore, PYY may represent a late postprandial event serving as a physiological signal to reduce exocrine pancreatic secretion after completion of digestion and nutrient absorption.
Glucagon- like peptide 1 (GLP- 1) is another ileal hor­mone that is elevated in the circulation during ileal car­bohydrate infusion. There is conflicting data on whether GLP- 1has inhibitory vs. stimulatory and direct vs. indi­rect effects on exocrine pancreatic secretion. Recent studies support a direct stimulatory effect on acinar cells through a cyclic AMP- dependent mechanism. Older
studies suggest the opposite. In anesthetized pigs with cut splanchnic nerves, intravenous GLP- 1 infusion inhibits hypoglycemia- induced pancreatic HCO
and
3
protein secretion, effects absent in vagally stimulated, isolated, and perfused porcine pancreas[90], suggesting that GLP- 1 acts through a central mechanism. Studies in rats indicate GLP- 1inhibitory action depends on intact vagal nerves[91].
Other peptides. Although the list of peptides known to inhibit exocrine pancreatic secretion continues to expand, little is known about the mechanisms through which these and other hormones or neurotransmitters inhibit pancreatic enzyme secretion. Most of these pep­tides lack direct inhibition of pancreatic acinar cells and most suppress pancreatic enzyme secretion in vivo but do not act directly on acinar cells to reduce pancreatic enzyme release. Animal studies suggest that peptides such as PP, somatostatin, calcitonin gene- related peptide (CGRP), enkephalin, and pancreastatin inhibit pancre­atic enzyme secretion by modulating cholinergic trans­mission, and most, if not all, act through a central vagal site [92–98]. Leptin also inhibits pancreatic enzyme secretion through a similar neuro mechanism, but para­doxically increases pancreatic protein output in rats when administered by duodenal perfusion through CCK activation of duodeno- pancreatic reflexes. Less clear are mechanisms of inhibiting pancreatic secretion by adre­nomedullin and galanin.
Feedback Regulation ofPancreatic Secretion
A series of observations in rats suggest that intraluminal actions of pancreatic proteases play an important role in regulating pancreatic enzyme secretion [16,99]. It was demonstrated that diversion of pancreatic juice in the duodenum stimulates CCK release and pancreatic enzyme secretion [16]. Conversely, intraduodenal administration of trypsin or chymotrypsin inhibits CCK release and pancreatic enzyme secretion[16]. This phe­nomenon is specific for activated proteases, not with inactivated trypsin, amylase, lipase, or HCO
Feedback regulation of pancreatic secretion by pro­teases appears to be mediated by a trypsin- sensitive sub­stance secreted by the proximal small intestine, originally designated CCK–releasing factor (CCK- RF) [16,21]. When trypsin is present, this peptide is cleaved and inac­tivated. CCK- RF may mediate pancreatic enzyme secre­tion in response to dietary protein intake in rats. Dietary protein in the intestine competes for the trypsin that would otherwise inactivate CCK- RF[16]. The resulting increase of CCK- RF in the intestinal lumen stimulates CCK release and pancreatic enzyme secretion (Fig.7.1).

Efforts to demonstrate a protease- sensitive feedback mechanism in humans remain controversial because of technical limitations in removing or blocking intralumi­nal protease activity. Using a different approach, investi­gators reported that intraluminal administration of trypsin or chymotrypsin in humans suppresses CCK release and partially reduces the CCK response to intes­tinal administration of amino acids or oral ingestion of a test meal[16,100]. These observations support the exist­ence of feedback regulation of pancreatic enzyme secre­tion in humans. Liener and colleagues demonstrated that Bowman–Birk soybean trypsin inhibitor, an inhibitor of chymotrypsin and elastase, strongly stimulates pancre­atic enzyme secretion in humans[101].
The existence of feedback regulation of pancreatic enzyme secretion in humans may have important clini­cal implications. In patients with chronic pancreatitis, decreased pancreatic enzyme secretion may result in elevated plasma CCK levels, reflecting a failure in the feedback modulation of CCK release. This may cause hyperstimulation of the pancreas and produce pain. Effective enzyme replacement therapy may reduce pancreatic stimulation, decrease intraductal pressure,
and diminish pain. Large doses of pancreatic extract have reduced pain in some patients with chronic pancreatitis[102,103].
Conclusion
Under physiological conditions, in rodents and humans, cholinergic vagal afferent pathways rather than pancre­atic acinar cells represent the primary targets on which CCK may act as a major mediator of postprandial pan­creatic secretion. The vagal afferent pathways also trans­mit sensory information about the mechanical and physiological state of the digestive tract, mediated in part by 5- HT, which in turn influences pancreatic secretion. A synergistic interaction between CCK and 5- HT at the level of the nodose ganglia may explain the robust post­prandial pancreatic enzyme secretion despite a modest increase in plasma CCK after a meal. Interestingly, most hormones such as PP, somatostatin, CGRP, and pancre­astatin act through a central vagal site. This supports the Pavlovian concept that the neural system is the major regulator of pancreatic secretion.

Regulation ofPancreatic Protein Synthesis andGrowth

Introduction
Regulation of pancreatic protein synthesis and growth allows the exocrine pancreas to provide an adequate sup­ply of digestive enzymes for nutrient assimilation. In young animals, the pancreas grows along with general body growth and thereby provides an increasing amount of digestive enzymes. In the adult, digestive enzyme syn­thesis is regulated at both transcriptional and transla­tional levels to match the need for both total and specific digestive enzymes. If the need for digestive enzymes is greater than can be met through these mechanisms, the pancreas can grow or regenerate [1]. This can occur either as a result of increased food intake, or because of decreased pancreatic mass due to disease. Some of the same systemic regulatory signals that regulate enzyme secretion, that is, the vagal nerve and gastrointestinal (GI) hormones, also participate in the regulation of pan­creatic protein synthesis and growth, although the intra­cellular regulatory pathways involved are significantly different. An additional regulatory influence is provided by nutrients, especially amino acids, and islet hormones, particularly insulin, which do not directly affect secre­tion. The purpose of this chapter is to provide a brief overview of the regulation of pancreatic protein synthe­sis and growth. Not all areas can be covered in depth owing to page limitations. Areas of recent progress are featured with review articles being cited to cover the older literature.
Regulation ofProtein Synthesis
Protein synthesis plays a central role in the maintenance of the pancreas and provision of digestive enzymes. Both the mRNA profile and autoradiographs of newly
synthesized proteins are dominated by digestive enzymes. Whether the acinar cell can regulate digestive enzyme synthesis independent of the synthesis of cellu­lar structural proteins is unclear. In general, the GI tract, including the exocrine pancreas, atrophies in the absence of food and protein synthesis that occurs in response to food intake helps to maintain normal func­tion. Individual dietary components also regulate pro­tein synthesis. In most cases, as reviewed in the following, this involves transcriptional regulation of digestive enzyme mRNA. By contrast, shorter term meal- stimulated protein synthesis is regulated primarily at the translational level. Finally, increased protein syn­thesis is necessary for pancreatic growth.
Long- Term Regulation by Diet
Since the original work by Pavlov, the adaptation of the exocrine pancreas to dietary changes has been observed in a variety of species[2,3]. The content and secretion of the major digestive enzymes, proteases, amylase, and lipases change in proportion to the dietary content of their respective substrates, protein, carbohydrate and fat, by stimulation of both, transcriptional and transla­tional mechanisms [4–6]. Various hormones mediate many of these effects and in most cases their release is increased by the nutrients whose digestion they regulate. In some cases the genetic elements regulated in the pro­moter region have been identified although the full intra­cellular pathway leading to their regulation is not yet known[2].
Protein
Feeding a high- protein diet to rodents (typically 60–80% casein or other high- quality protein) increases the con­tent of multiple proteases and the mRNA levels of

trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen, and proelastase [2,7], with activation of the mTORC1 pathway and can occur independently of cholecystokinin (CCK)[8]. There are, however, differential effects on different isoforms of enzymes such as trypsinogen and this increase is not mimicked by feeding a mixture of amino acids [9–11]. Clinical studies have shown that a severe reduction of protein in the diet causes pancreatic injury, leading to nutrient malabsorption and a state of malnutri­tion[12,13], which can be especially critical in children and young adults[14]. The pancreas is extremely vulner­able to protein deficiency states, as seen in patients with the kwashiorkor syndrome, where the pancreas is one of the most severely affected organs, with reductions in size and secretory capacity [12,15,16]. In an experimental study, feeding mice a protein- free diet for 4days resulted in a decrease in the relative pancreatic digestive enzyme content and secretion[17]. Other data showed that the stimulation of protease synthesis, by isolated pancreatic lobules following infusion of the CCK analogue caer­ulein, in vivo, was greatly increased compared with a small increase in translatable mRNA, suggesting a post­transcriptional locus for this regulation.
It has also been shown that a high protein (40%) diet can stimulate pancreas growth in mice, independent of CCK[8]. Individual amino acids can increase pancre­atic trypsin levels and stimulate pancreas growth[9,18]. The amino acid leucine, specifically, modulates growth responses of pancreatic progenitors, involving mTORC1 [19], and changing the synthetic rates and messenger RNA (mRNA) levels during several days or weeks.
Carbohydrates
The level of carbohydrate in the diet has long been known to have significant effects on pancreatic amylase content and amylase mRNA[2,3]. This is seen when dietary car­bohydrate replaces either dietary fat or protein, provided that dietary protein is adequate. Starch and sugars all sim­ilarly affect amylase, as does intravenous glucose. The effects of carbohydrate are believed to be primarily medi­ated by insulin. When animals are rendered diabetic, the amylase content and synthesis and mRNA levels fall dra­matically, whereas lipase increases moderately [3,20]. Insulin restores the amylase synthesis and content and mRNA levels in diabetic rats. Similar decreases in amyl­ase have been seen in obese rat and mouse models with insulin resistance. However, insulin administration to normal rats either decreases or does not change amylase, and other evidence suggests a more direct role for glucose in addition to effects on insulin. Amylase is also regulated by glucocorticoids [21], although this may not mediate dietary effects of carbohydrate. A dietary response sequence in the promoter of the amylase Amy2.2 gene has
been identified that mediates dietary adaptation and the effect of insulin[22].
Fat
In response to a high- fat diet (40–70% of calories as triglycerides), the content and synthesis of pancreatic triglyceride lipase increase [2]. This is accompanied by an increase in its mRNA [23,24]. Adaptation of other pancreatic lipases and colipase have been much less well studied. In neonate mice and rats, bile salt- stimulated lipase and pancreatic lipase- related protein 2 are the two predominant lipases[25]. Secretin has been proposed as a mediator of the effect of dietary lipid [26]. Fatty acids can stimulate secretin release and infusion of secretin in conscious rats led to an increase in the relative synthesis of lipase [2]. Gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP) has also been shown to increase pancreatic lipase and colipase content and mRNA levels[27]. Finally, ketones, metabo­lites of ingested fat, have also been proposed as a media­tor of the increase in pancreatic lipase[2].
Meal- to- Meal Regulation ofTranslation by Hormones andNutrients
Whereas long- term dietary changes in digestive enzymes may be mediated by changes in mRNA expression, short­term meal- to- meal control needs to be immediate, revers­ible, and flexible. Such control of protein synthesis is mainly at the translational level[28]. This section reviews the effects of food intake and hormones, especially CCK and insulin, on the exocrine pancreas translational machinery. Translation of mRNA into protein can be divided into three phases: initiation, elongation, and ter­mination. For details on these three mechanisms, the reader is referred to reviews on translation[28–32]. Only a few studies have evaluated the immediate regulation of the pancreatic translational synthetic machinery after food intake. Early studies showed that fasting reduces total protein synthesis in the pancreas and refeeding stim­ulates it[33,34]. More recent studies showed that feeding a regular meal activates protein synthesis in the mouse pancreas at the translational level without an increase in the mRNA of the digestive enzymes [35]. In humans, feeding increases both the rate of secretion and synthesis of digestive enzymes, although the rate of turnover of zymogens remains fairly constant during feeding and fast­ing[36]. In rats and mice, feeding stimulates the protein kinase B (PKB/Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) pathway and the phosphorylation of 4E- BP1 and ribosomal protein S6, downstream of mTORC1, in addition to the formation of the eIF4F complex[35,37] as illustrated in Fig.8.1.
Dietary protein and amino acids have also been shown
to be necessary to stimulate pancreatic protein synthesis
