Cross-Atlantic CollaborationExocrine Pancreatic Secretion 100 Years of Scientific Discovery
20th Century In Subcellular Particles: F. Hayashi, edit., The Ronald Press, New York, 1959….. Dr. Philip Siekevitz and I decided to undertake such a project, which, as can be seen, combines new techniques with old and simple experimental approaches. It is, one could say, a collaboration over almost a century between Rudolf Heidenhain, Philip Siekevitz and myself. George E. Palade, Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, New York, N.Y.

Pancreatic Lobules Lobule Advantages: • Secretory units intact - Acinar tissue – CCK stimulation - Ductules – Secretin stimulation • Acinar lumen isolated from incubation medium
Hormone StimulationAccelerates Intracellular Transport A Control (Resting tissue) B Caerulein stimulation (CCK analogue)

Signal Hypothesis – Translocation of Secretory Proteins into the RER N-terminal signal sequence targets proteins for translocation into the RER – Explains absence of initiator Met in mature enzymes.
Removal of Signal PeptideNecessary for correct Folding of Enzymes A Unfolded precursors aggregateB-D Correctly folded proteins migrate to correct position in 2-D gel Demonstrated importance of (i) membrane translocation, (ii) optimal redox potential and (iii) protein disulfide isomerase
2-Dimensional Gel ElectrophoresisSecretory Enzymes & Isoenzymes Separation of proteins by:- Charge (IEP)- Size (Mr in Daltons)
Dietary Adaptation A. Protein-Sufficient Diet (Abundance Mechanism): - Enzymes synthesized in direct proportion to nutritional substrates in diet B. Protein-Deficiency (Survival Mechanism): - Enzymes synthesized according to isoelectric point - 95% of synthesis channeled into acidic proteinases
Hormones Regulate Pavlov’s Dietary Adaptation CCK Stimulation:- Proteinase synthesis increased- Amylase synthesis decreased Secretin stimulation:- lipase synthesis increased

Membrane Trafficking & Protein Sorting Conclusions: Role of GP2-Proteoglycan Matrix in:1. Sorting of membranes in the Trans-Golgi Network (TGN)2. Role of TGN acidification in sorting of soluble proteins - Soluble proteins translocate to endo-lysosomal compartments - Precipitating proteins retained in condensing vacuoles and ZGs Bicarbonate Secretion by Ductal Cells Regulates:1. PH of the acinar lumen – Neutralizes the acid pH associated with exocytosis2. Solubilization of secretory (pro)enzymes 3. Membrane trafficking at the apical plasma membrane - Role of GP2 release in activating endocytosis & membrane recycling at the APM Acinar Lumen Couples Acinar and Duct Cell Function:1. CCK stimulates release of secretory enzymes from ZGs in an acidic milieu2. Secretin stimulates alkaline fluid secretion from ductal cells3. Reveals acid-base interplay between acinar and ductal cells
Cystic Fibrosis Conclusions: Pancreatic Defects in Cystic Fibrosis:1. Genetic defect in the CFTR – Deficiency in chloride secretion by duct cells2. Associated defect in bicarbonate secretion3. Progressive acidification of the acinar and duct lumen4. Persistent aggregation of secretory enzymes released into the duct lumen5. Massive dilatation of the acinar lumen6. Marked decrease of ZGs7. Loss of the apical pole of the acinar cell 8. Progressive loss of pancreatic exocrine function Biochemical Defect in Cystic Fibrosis: Progressive deficiency of chloride & bicarbonate in the acinar and duct lumenleading to inappropriate acidification of pancreatic luminal compartments Potential Treatment Modality:Restoration or administration of bicarbonate to the duct lumen with correction of the pH defect
