Chotecystoknin octapeptide (CCK-8) has been shown to stimulate DNA synthesis in rat glioma C 6 cells by activation of CCKB type receptors. However, the signalling pathways contributing to this proliferative action in C 6 cells have not been investigated thus far. This study demonstrated that stimulation of rat glioma C 6 cells with CCK-8S resulted in activation of protein kinase...
Cholecystokinin (CCK) is known to stimulate pancreatic cancer cell growth, but no detailed CCK receptor subtype characterization and investigation of CCK receptor-mediated cellular responses in human pancreatic cancer cells have been reported thus far. In this study, CCK binding sites were identified in human pancreatic cancer cells (MIA-PaCa-2) using radioligand binding studies. Pharmacological characterization...
