Intraluminal l-phenylalanine (Phe) stimulates cholecystokinin (CCK) secretion in vivo and in vitro. However, the cellular mechanism by which CCK-producing enteroendocrine cells sense Phe is unknown. The calcium-sensing receptor (CaR) can sense amino acids, and is expressed in the gastrointestinal tract. In the present study, we examined whether CaR functions as a receptor for Phe in CCK-producing enteroendocrine cells. CCK secretion and intracellular Ca2+ concentration in response to Phe were measured in the murine CCK-producing enteroendocrine cell line STC-1 at various extracellular Ca2+ concentrations or after treatment with a CaR antagonist. At more than 20 mm, Phe induced dose-dependent CCK secretion and intracellular Ca2+ mobilization in STC-1 cells. In the presence of 3.0 mm extracellular Ca2+, 10 and 20 mm Phe induced significantly higher CCK secretion than under normal conditions (1.2 mm extracellular Ca2+). Intracellular Ca2+ mobilization, induced by 10 or 20 mm Phe, was also enhanced by increasing extracellular Ca2+ concentrations. In addition, intracellular Ca2+ mobilization induced by addition of extracellular Ca2+ was augmented by the presence of Phe. These results closely match the known CaR properties. Treatment with a specific CaR antagonist (NPS2143) completely inhibited Phe-induced CCK secretion and the latter phase of intracellular Ca2+ mobilization. CaR mRNA expression was demonstrated by RT-PCR in STC-1 cells, as well as in other mouse tissues including the kidney, thyroid, stomach and intestine. In conclusion, CaR functions as a receptor for Phe, stimulating CCK secretion in enteroendocrine STC-1 cells.
