CCK stimulates
pleiotrophic responses in pancreatic acinar cells; however, the
intracellular signaling pathways involved are not well understood. To
evaluate the role of the
ras gene product in CCK
actions, a strategy involving in vitro adenoviral-mediated gene
delivery of a dominant-negative mutant Ras
(RasN17) was utilized. Isolated
acini were infected with various titers of either a control adenovirus
or an adenoviral construct expressing RasN17 for 24 h before being
treated with CCK. Titer-dependent expression of
RasN17 in the acini was confirmed
by Western blotting. Infection with control adenovirus
[106-109
plaque-forming units/mg acinar protein (multiplicity of infection of
~1-1,000)] had no effect on CCK stimulation of acinar cell amylase release, extracellular-regulated kinase (ERK) or c-Jun kinase
(JNK) kinases, or DNA synthesis. In contrast, infection with adenovirus
bearing rasN17 increased basal amylase release,
inhibited CCK-mediated JNK activation, had no effect on CCK activation
of ERK, and inhibited DNA synthesis. These data demonstrate important
roles for Ras in specific actions of CCK on pancreatic acinar function.
