Spantide ([d-Arg1, d-Trp7,9, Leu11] substance P) was shown to function not only as a substance P receptor antagonist but also as a bombesin receptor antagonist. This study examined the effects of spantide on intravenous bombesin-induced stimulation of gastrin and acid secretion. Dogs were infused with spantide (1 or 10 nmol kg 1 hr 1) or saline and bombesin (60 pmol kg-1 hr-1), and the gastric acid and plasma gastrin responses were monitored. Spantide did not significantly modify gastrin or gastric acid secretion induced by bombesin. It is concluded that spantide may not be a useful bombesin antagonist for in vivo studies.

Background: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth leading cause of cancer death in the US. The protein kinase D (PKD) family has emerged as a promising target for cancer therapy with PKD1 being most intensively studied; however, its role in HNSCC has not been investigated.
Methods: The expression of PKD was evaluated in human HNSCC by quantitative RT-PCR, Western blot and immunohistochemistry.
Protein kinase D1 (PKD1) phosphorylation on Ser by type I p21-activated kinase (PAK) regulates PKD1 localization.

From the Division of Digestive Diseases, Department of Medicine, David Geffen School of Medicine,
Although PKC-mediated phosphorylation of protein kinase D1 (PKD1) has been extensively characterized, little is known about PKD1 regulation by other upstream kinases. Here we report that stimulation of epithelial or fibroblastic cells with G protein-coupled receptor agonists, including angiotensin II or bombesin, induced rapid and persistent PKD1 phosphorylation at Ser, a highly conserved residue located within the PKD1 N-terminal domain. Exposure to PKD or PKC family inhibitors did not prevent PKD1 phosphorylation at Ser, indicating that it is not mediated by autophosphorylation.

Background: Intracellular signaling responsible for gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) receptor-mediated neovascularization is not clearly understood. We sought to determine the cellular mechanisms involved in the GRP receptor regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) release in neuroblastoma cells.
Materials And Methods: BE(2)-C cells were treated with bombesin (BBS), the amphibian equivalent of GRP, Phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) a PKC agonist, or GF109293X (GFX), and analyses were performed for VEGF secretion, phosphorylated protein kinase B (AKT), extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK) and protein kinase D (PKD) expression.
Inhibitory effect of juniperonic acid (Delta-5c,11c,14c,17c-20:4, omega-3) on bombesin-induced proliferation of Swiss 3T3 cells.

Juniperonic acid (Delta-5c,11c,14c,17c-20:4, JA) is a polymethylene-interrupted (PMI) fatty acid that occurs in Biota orientalis. In this study, we found that JA has an antiproliferative activity. Swiss 3T3 cells were preloaded with fatty acids before stimulation with bombesin, a mitogenic neuropeptide, and proliferation of the cells was assessed by [(3)H]thymidine incorporation.
