RESUMO

Inhibition of colon carcinoma cell growth by the nonselective gastrin/cholecystokinin (CCK) receptor antagonists proglumide and benzotript provided evidence that gastrin functions as an autocrine growth factor. However, the molecular properties of the receptor mediating the antagonist effects have not been identified. A 78-kDa gastrin-binding protein (GBP), the sequence of which is related to the family of enzymes possessing enoyl-CoA hydratase and 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase activities, has been previously purified from porcine gastric mucosal membranes. I now report that covalent cross-linking of 125I-labeled [Nle15]gastrin2,17 to the 78-kDa GBP is inhibited by crotonyl-CoA and by acetoacetyl-CoA. Gastrin, CCK, and their analogues also inhibit cross-linking, and the spectrum of analogue affinities correlates better with the values previously reported for binding to the gastrin/CCK-C receptor than with the values reported for binding to either the CCK-A or the gastrin/CCK-B receptor. Cross-linking is also inhibited by proglumide and benzotript, but no inhibition is seen with either the CCK-A receptor-selective antagonist L364,718 or the gastrin/CCK-B receptor-selective antagonist L365,260. The affinities of antagonists for the GBP correlate well with their affinities for the gastrin/CCK-C receptor and with their potencies for inhibition of colon carcinoma cell growth. I conclude that the 78-kDa gastrin-binding protein is (i) a member of the hydratase/dehydrogenase family of fatty acid oxidation enzymes, (ii) the gastrin/CCK-C receptor, and (iii) the target for the antiproliferative action of two gastrin/CCK receptor antagonists.
