controversial. Invitro 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, invivo
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- 8infusions 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 invitro 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)

Figure7.2 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. ACh: acetylcholoine; PP: pancreatic polypeptide; SRIF: somatostatin;

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]. Invivo 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 andStimulatory 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 invitro. 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 ofPancreatic 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]. Invivo, PP appears to act preferentially
by inhibiting vagal stimulation[77]. Invitro, 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- 1has 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- 1inhibitory 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 ofPancreatic
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 ofPancreatic Protein Synthesis andGrowth

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 ofProtein 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 4days 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 ofTranslation by
Hormones andNutrients
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
