Abstract:We have recently established and characterized a new conditionally immortalized mouse gastric epithelial cell line . The purpose of this work was to compare the effects of amidated (G-NH2) and glycine-extended gastrin (G-gly) on proliferation and migration of these cells. Both G-NH2 and G-gly strongly stimulated DNA synthesis, although with slightly different potencies (EC50 = 22.8 ? 1.5 pM for G-gly and 84.3 ? 2.9 pM for G-NH2). The G-NH2 effect was dose-dependently reversed by the selective gastrin/CCK-B rec… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
