Although ectopic expression of the
cholecystokinin B/gastrin receptor (CCK-BR) is widely reported in human
colorectal cancers, its role in mediating the proliferative effects of
gastrin1-17 (G-17) on these cancers is unknown. Here we report the
isolation of a novel splice variant of CCK-BR that exhibits
constitutive (ligand-independent) activation of pathways regulating
intracellular free Ca2+
([Ca2+]i) and cell growth. The splice variant
(designated CCK-BRi4sv for intron 4-containing splice variant) is
expressed in colorectal cancers but not in normal colonic mucosa
adjacent to the cancer. Balb3T3 cells expressing CCK-BRi4sv exhibited
spontaneous, ligand-independent, oscillatory increases in
[Ca2+]i, whereas cells expressing wild-type
CCK-BR did not. Primary cultures of cells isolated from resected
colorectal cancers also exhibited a similar pattern of spontaneous
[Ca2+]i oscillations. For both Balb3T3 and
primary tumor cells, application of G-17 (10 and 200 nM,
respectively) caused an increase in [Ca2+]i.
Selective CCK-BR antagonists blocked the G-17-stimulated Ca2+ responses but not the spontaneous
[Ca2+]i oscillations. Cells expressing CCK-BRi4sv
exhibited an increased growth rate (~2.5-fold), in the absence of
G-17, compared with cells expressing wild-type CCK-BR. The selective pattern of expression, constitutive activity, and trophic action associated with CCK-BRi4sv suggest that this variant may regulate colorectal cancer cell proliferation though a gastrin-independent mechanism.
