First incubating guinea pig pancreatic acini with carbachol reduced the subsequent stimulation of amylase release caused by carbachol, cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8), and bombesin but not that caused by vasoactive intestinal peptide, substance P, 8-bromoadenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate, A23187, or 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate. Carbachol also reduced the subsequent binding of N-[3H]methylscopolamine, 125I-CCK-8, and 125I-[Tyr4]bombesin. Pancreatic acini possess a high-affinity class of cholinergic receptors and a low-affinity cholinergic receptors appears to produce the reduction in carbachol-stimulated amylase release and binding of N-[3H]methylscopolamine. First incubating acini with carbachol caused a complete loss of high-affinity cholinergic receptors with no change in the number or affinity of low-affinity cholinergic receptors. Carbachol occupation of low-affinity cholinergic receptors appears to produce the reduction in CCK-8- and bombesin-stimulated amylase release and in binding of 125I-CCK-8 and 125I-[Tyr4]bombesin. Acini possess two classes of CCK receptors. One class has a high affinity for CCK-8; the other class has a low affinity for CCK-8. First incubating acini with carbachol caused a 60% decrease in the number of high-affinity CCK receptors with no change in the number of low-affinity receptors or the affinities of either class of receptors for CCK-8. Acini possess a single class of bombesin receptors, and first incubating acini with carbachol caused a 40% decrease in the number of bombesin receptors with no change in their affinity for bombesin. 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate reproduced the action of carbachol on binding of N-[3H]methylscopolamine and 125I-CCK-8 but not on binding of 125I-[Tyr4]bombesin, suggesting that carbachol activation of protein kinase C may in some way mediate the effect of carbachol on receptors for carbachol and those for CCK but not that on receptors for bombesin.
