Differential Expression of Gastrin, Cholecystokinin-A and Cholecystokinin-B Receptor mRNA in Human Pancreatic Cancer Cell Lines [PDF]

open access: yesScandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, 2001
It has been assumed that gastrin stimulates the growth of pancreatic cancer in an autocrine way through co-expression of gastrin and the cholecystokinin-B receptor (CCK-BR). However, pancreatic cancer cell lines established directly from patients have revealed a great heterogeneity in cell proliferation when exposed to CCK, gastrin and their receptor ...

Cholecystokinin- and cholecystokinin-B-receptor gene polymorphisms in panic disorder [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Panic disorder like other neuropsychiatric disorders is believed to be caused by multiple psychosocial and biological factors. Several lines of evidence point to a role for the peptide neurotransmitter cholecystokinin in the pathogenesis of panic disorder.

Radiolabeling approaches for cholecystokinin B receptor imaging [PDF]

open access: yesPeptide Science, 2002
AbstractRegulatory peptides and their analogs are being extensively investigated as radiopharmaceuticals for cancer imaging. In particular, cholecystokinin (CCK) receptors of the subtype B (CCK‐BR) have been shown to be overexpressed in certain neuroendocrine tumors including medullary thyroid cancer.

Role of cholecystokinin-A and cholecystokinin-B receptors in anxiety

Amino Acids, 2002
Evidence from several laboratories indicates that the anxiogenic effects of cholecystokinin (CCK) are mediated by CCKB receptors. However, it has been reported that CCKA receptors have been found in brain and CCKA antagonists have anxiolytic properties.

Cholecystokinin, cholecystokinin-A receptor and cholecystokinin-B receptor gene polymorphisms in Parkinson's disease

Pharmacogenetics, 2003
Cholecystokinin modulates the release of dopamine and dopamine-related behaviours in the mesolimbic pathway, where cholecystokinin and dopamine coexist in dopaminergic neurones. Because cholecystokinin and its receptors (A and B) have a functional interaction with dopaminergic neurotransmission, alterations in them may constitute a predisposition for ...

Cholecystokinin-A and Cholecystokinin-B/Gastrin Receptor mRNA Expression in the Gastrointestinal Tract and Pancreas of the Rat and Man: A Polymerase Chain Reaction Study [PDF]

open access: yesScandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1996
BACKGROUND: Gastrin and cholecystokinin (CCK) are thought to exert trophic effects on the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas. Two types of receptors have been cloned, CCK-A and CCK-B/ gastrin.

Localization of cholecystokinin A and cholecystokinin B-gastrin receptors in the human stomach

Gastroenterology, 1997
Gastrin and cholecystokinin (CCK) are gut-brain peptides, with multiple functions in the gastrointestinal tract mediated through CCK-B-gastrin and CCK-A receptors. The receptor localization is, however, not well established in humans. The aim of this study was to investigate the distribution and pharmacological characteristics of CCK-A and CCK-B ...
