The actions of the corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) family of peptides are mediated by the seven transmembrane-domain G-protein-coupled receptors, the CRF receptors type 1 (CRF2 receptor) and type 2 (CRF2 receptor). In a previous study, we reported that CRF, an endogenous ligand for CRF1 receptor, modulated Ca2+ influx in rat pancreatic beta-cells. In addition to CRF, other additional members of the family, urocortins, have been identified in mammals. Urocortin 1 (UCN 1), a peptide of the CRF family, binds both CRF1 receptor and CRF2 receptor with equal affinities. Urocortin 3 (UCN 3), a highly selective ligand for CRF2 receptor with little affinity for CRF1 receptor, has been shown in rat pancreatic beta-cells. The present study focused on the effects of the CRF family peptides on intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+](i)) concentration via CRF receptors in rat pancreatic beta-cells. Microfluorimetric experiments showed that CRF (0.2 nM) and UCN 1 (0.2 nM) elevated [Ca2+], levels. Both CRF and UCN 1 effects were attenuated by astressin, a non-selective CRF receptor antagonist. Antisauvagine-30, a selective CRF2 receptor antagonist, appeared to enhance the UCN 1 effect on the elevation of [Ca2+](i). The CRF effect on the elevation of [Ca2+](i) was inhibited by the addition of UCN 3. Taken together, the activation of CRF2 receptor antagonizes the CRF1 receptor-stimulated Ca2+ influx.
