| Abstract: | 1. Neurotensin stimulated inositol monophosphate (IP1) formation in both human colonic carcinoma HT29 cells and in mouse neuroblastoma N1E115 cells with EC50 values of 3.5 +/- 0.5 nM (n = 4) and 0.46 +/- 0.02 nM (n = 3), respectively. Neurotensin also stimulated cyclic GMP production with an EC50 of 0.47 +/- 1.2 nM and inhibited cyclic AMP accumulation induced by forskolin (0.5 microM) with an IC50 of 1.33 +/- 1.5 nM (n = 3) on the N1E115 cell line. 2. The competitive antagonism by the non-peptide neurotensin receptor antagonist, SR48692 of neurotensin-induced IP1 formation revealed pA2 values of 8.7 +/- 0.2 (n = 3) for HT29 and 10.1 +/- 0.2 (n = 3) for N1E115 cells. SR48692 also antagonized the cyclic GMP and cyclic AMP responses induced by neurotensin in the N1E115 cell line with pA2 values of 10.7 +/- 0.7 (n = 3) and 9.8 +/- 0.3 (n = 3), respectively. 3. In CHO cells transfected with the rat neurotensin receptor, neurotensin stimulated IP1 and cyclic AMP formation with EC50 values of 3.0 +/- 0.5 nM (n = 3) and 72.2 +/- 20.7 nM (n = 3), respectively. Both effects were antagonized by SR48692, giving pA2 values of 8.4 +/- 0.1 (n = 3) for IP1 and 7.2 +/- 0.4 (n = 3) for cyclic AMP responses. 4. Radioligand binding experiments, performed with [125I]-neurotensin (0.2 nM), yielded IC50 values of 15.3 nM (n = 2) and 20.4 nM (n = 2) for SR48692 versus neurotensin receptor binding sites labelled in HT29 and N1E115 cells, respectively.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) |
