L-365260 is a CCK2 selective antagonist. Enhances amphetamine-induced stimulation of locomotor activity in rats (a model of drug abuse), inhibits thyroid carcinoma (TT)-cell proliferation (potential therapeutic implication for cancer treatment); bilateral injection into the medulla reverses both tactile allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia.

To explore the molecular mechanism of increasing the invasion of colon cancer cells by gastrin 17. The plasmid pCR 3.1/GR expressing the gastrin receptor cholecystokinin-2 receptor (CCK-2R) was transfected into colonic carcinoma cells of the line Colo320 by Lipofectamine 2000.

This study provides the first evidence that CCK-8 (0.01 pM to 0.1 mM) stimulates Na,K-ATPase in the cortical membranes of wild-type and CCK(2) receptor-deficient mice. In each genotype, the maximal stimulation was about 40%. Homozygous mice revealed substantially lower EC50

Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is suggested to be intimately involved in the progression of malignancies. Our previous research has demonstrated that activation of cholecystokinin-2 receptor (CCK2R) by gastrin stimulates a rapid activation of FAK pathway in human colon cancer cells.

Controlling the inflammatory cascade during sepsis remains a major clinical challenge. Recently, it has become evident that the autonomic nervous system reduces inflammation through the vagus nerve. The current study investigates whether nutritional stimulation of the autonomic nervous system effectively
Many behavior studies indicate that cholecystokinin (CCK) is related to nociception and anxiety/panic actions in the midbrain periaqueductal gray (PAG). We previously reported that a sulfated form of CCK octapeptide (CCK-8S) produced excitatory effects at both pre- and postsynaptic loci
