Receptors for regulatory peptides (hormones or neurotransmitters) play a pivotal role in the ability of cells to taste the rich neuroendocrine environment of the gut. Recognition of low concentration of peptides with a high specificity and translation of the peptide-receptor interaction into a biological response through different signalling pathways (adenylyl cyclase-cAMP or phospholipase C-phosphatidylinositol) are crucial properties of receptors. While many new receptors have been identified and thereafter characterized functionally during the 1980s, molecular biology now emerges as the privileged way for the structural characterization and discovery of receptors. Different strategies of receptor cloning have been developed which may or may not require prior receptor purification. Among cloning strategies that do not require receptor purification, homology screening of cDNA libraries, expression of receptor cDNA or mRNA in Xenopus laevis oocytes or in COS cells, and the polymerase chain reaction method achieved great success, e.g. cloning of receptors for cholecystokinin, gastrin, glucagon-like peptide 1, gastrin-releasing peptide/bombesin, neuromedin K, neuropeptide Y, neurotensin, opioids, secretin, somatostatin, substance K, substance P and vasoactive intestinal peptide. All these receptors belong to the superfamily of G-protein-coupled receptors which consist of a single polypeptide chain (350-450 amino acids) with seven transmembrane segments, an N-terminal extracellular domain and a C-terminal cytoplasmic domain. In this chapter, we have detailed the properties of three receptors which play an important role in digestive tract physiology and illustrate various signal transduction pathways: pancreatic beta-cell galanin receptors which mediate inhibition of insulin release and intestinal epithelial receptors for vasoactive intestinal peptide and peptide YY, which mediate the stimulation and inhibition of water and electrolyte secretion, respectively.

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) and norepinephrine, found colocalized in sympathetic neurons innervating blood vessels, exert synergistic responses on vasoconstriction. To examine the signaling mechanisms involved, free of complications associated with mixed receptor populations, we have established a stable Chinese hamster ovary cell line expressing both Y1-NPY and alpha 1b-adrenergic receptors. Occupation of either receptor species, with 100 nM peptide YY (PYY) or 10 microM phenylephrine (PE), respectively, resulted in a rapid increase in the cytoplasmic free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) as assessed with Fura-2/AM. The rise due to PYY, but not that due to PE, was abolished by pretreatment with pertussis toxin. Both responses were largely maintained in the absence of extracellular Ca2+, but abolished by prior depletion of intracellular Ca2+ pools with either thapsigargin or 2,5-di-(t-butyl)-1,4-benzohydroquinone. Using cells prelabeled with myo-[3H]inositol, PE promoted a rapid (5 s) rise in inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) as analyzed by anion-exchange high pressure liquid chromatography, whereas the response to PYY (first significant at > 15 s post-stimulation) was too slow to play a causative role in Ca2+ mobilization. Combination of PE and PYY resulted in increases in [Ca2+]i which were at best additive, whereas they promoted a clearly synergistic rise in Ins(1,4,5)P3 at both 15 and 60 s. Co-stimulation also resulted in a synergistic activation of both protein kinase C (PKC) and [3H]arachidonic acid release. In either instance PYY alone was without effect. The potentiation of arachidonic acid release was abolished by depletion of cellular PKC following chronic treatment with phorbol esters. It is suggested that the ability of PYY to mobilize Ca2+ in an Ins(1,4,5)P3-independent fashion minimizes the functional importance of the capacity to potentiate PE-stimulated Ins(1,4,5)P3 generation. Instead the major consequences of the synergistic activation of phospholipase C are mediated via PKC, the other route of the signaling pathway.

Binding of a Y1-subtype-selective agonist of neuropeptide Y (NPY) receptor, (Leu31,Pro34)human peptide YY (LP-PYY), to particulates from four rat brain areas (parietal cortex area 1, piriform cortex, anterior hypothalamus and hippocampus) showed a distinct response to LP-PYY and PYY, a uniformly low sensitivity to ligands selective for the Y2, Y4 and Y5 NPY receptor subtypes and high sensitivity to a Y1 site-selective antagonist, BIBP-3226. The Y1 binding was sensitive to guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein) agonist and antagonist nucleotides, with the rank order of guanosine 5'-O-(thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) > GTP > GDP > guanosine 5'-O-(thiodiphosphate). However, guanine nucleotides did not affect about one third of the specific Y1 binding. Most of Y1 binding could be inhibited by a G protein nucleotide site/docking site receptor mimic, mastoparan analog MAS-7. In all areas examined, the Y1 binding of LP-PYY was little affected by up to 100 microM of the antagonists of K+, Na+ and Ca++ channels, protein kinase C, phospholipase A2, phospholipase D and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, phospholipase substrate phospholipids, steroids or detergents. However, the binding was potently inhibited by phospholipase C inhibitors (especially the aminosteroid U-73122), which also dissociated the bound Y1 ligand in steady-state conditions. U-73122 also displaced the Y1 binding insensitive to GTP gamma S. Ligand association with the brain Y1 NPY receptor thus strongly depends on activity of both G proteins and phospholipase C, implying specific interactions of these transducers/effectors with the receptor molecule in ligand binding. A portion of brain Y1 sites could be directly coupled to phospholipase(s) C.

The binding of two peptide YY/neuropeptide Y analogues selective for major subtypes of neuropeptide Y (NPY) receptors was compared in particulates from rabbit kidney cortex employing modulators of activity of G-proteins, phospholipase enzymes, and ion channels. The binding of (Leu31,Pro34)human peptide YY resembled the patterns observed previously for the brain tissue Y1 receptor, exhibiting a high sensitivity to monovalent cations, disulfide disruptors, guanosine polyphosphates and phospholipase C inhibitors. However, this binding was bimodal in response to human pancreatic polypeptide and to peptides selective for the Y2 subtype of the NPY receptor, displaying a large component pharmacologically similar to the brain Y5 receptor. This kidney Y5-like binding largely shared the sensitivity to monovalent cations, guanine nucleotides and phospholipase C inhibitors found for either the kidney or the brain Y1 receptor, and also was activated by Ca2+ ion. Both Y1- and Y5-like binding in the kidney displayed a uniformly low reactivity to a nonpeptidic Y1 antagonist, BIBP-3226, and to a receptor peptide mimetic, mastoparan analogue MAS-7. The kidney Y2 binding shared the low sensitivity to ionic environment observed for the brain Y2 subtype, and was only partially sensitive to guanine nucleotides or to MAS-7. The Y2 liganding had a sensitivity to phospholipase C inhibitors similar to the Y1/Y5 binding. This reactivity was retained in the fraction of the Y2 receptor persisting detergent solubilization in a high-affinity form, which, however, was activated rather than inhibited by G-protein agonists.

Sites sensitive to human and rat pancreatic polypeptides (hPP and rPP) accounted for more than 30% of the specific binding of [125I](Leu31,Pro34) human peptide YY (LP-PYY) in particulates from rabbit kidney cortex, and about 10% of the specific binding in membranes from rabbit hypothalamus. The binding of [125I]hPP or [125I]rPP showed a high-affinity displacement with either hPP, rPP, LP-PYY, neuropeptide Y or peptide YY (Ki below 50 pM for all), while being quite insensitive to Y2-selective ligands. The PP binding had a high sensitivity to alkali cations and inhibitors of phospholipase C, very similar to that of LP-PYY binding 'masked' by excess cold hPP. However, as different from the Y1-like LP-PYY binding, but similar to the binding of the Y2-selective ligand [125I]human peptide YY(3-36) (hPYY(3-36)), the PP binding showed a low sensitivity to guanosine polyphosphates. The PP binding was much more sensitive to N5-substituted amiloride inhibitors of Na+ transport than the binding of LP-PYY, or that of hPYY(3-36). The inhibition of PP binding by N5-substituted amilorides was not enhanced by guanine nucleotides or by phospholipase C blockers. However, pairing of N5-substituted amilorides disproportionately increased the inhibition of hPP binding. Thus, in rabbit kidney or hypothalamus, the high-affinity PP-responding sites share some of the basic properties of the Y1 and Y2 sites, but are distinguished from both by a high sensitivity to compounds affecting sodium transport. These PP/NPY receptors could associate with membrane structures involved in the control of ion balance and osmotic responses.

FMRFamide and related peptides (RFamides) were found to inhibit the association binding of iodinated human pancreatic polypeptide ([125I]hPP) to Y5-like neuropeptide Y (NPY) receptor in rodent tissues. An allosteric regulation of the activity of the rodent kidney PP-sensitive neuropeptide Y (NPY) receptor by RFamides was indicated by potency decrease with particle concentration in the inhibition of the association binding of 125I-labeled human pancreatic polypeptide (hPP) by RFamides at rabbit kidney membranes. The competition by C-terminal hexapeptide of hPP (LTRPRY.NH2) did not show such affinity change. The steady-state binding of hPP showed little sensitivity to any of the RFamides tested. The Y1-selective binding of [125I][Leu31,Pro34]hPYY (at 2 nM hPP) was much less sensitive to RFamides than the binding of [125I]hPP, albeit with some differences across tissue or cell types. The binding of Y2-selective agonist 125I-labeled human peptide YY (3-36) was quite insensitive to RFamides. The presence of a unique component in the inhibition of hPP binding by RFamides was further indicated by a degree of antagonism with phospholipase C inhibitor U-73122, and by an only limited cooperation with a N5-amiloride compound, and with alkylator chloroethylclonidine. Change of the chirality of individual residues in the FMRFamide molecule produced a significant reduction of inhibitory potency only with D-Phe in the C-terminal position. Substitution of the (C-3) L-Met by L-Leu greatly increased the inhibitory potency of RFamides relative to otherwise identical congeners. RFamides could act both as ligands of membrane neighbors of the PP receptor, and as competitors of Y5-like NPY receptor epitopes that accommodate the C-terminal aspects of agonist peptides.

The binding of [(125)I] orexin-A (Ox-A) to particulates from Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells expressing the cloned orexin-A receptor, or from rat forebrain areas, was sensitive to blockers of phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PtdIns-PLC) U-73122 and ET-18-OCH(3), little affected by phospholipase A(2) inhibitor quinacrine, and not sensitive to D609, a xanthate inhibitor of phosphatidylcholine-selective PLC. Interaction of the receptor with a PtdIns-PLC was further indicated by a large sensitivity of the binding to Ca(2+). Up to 50% of the binding was sensitive to the G-protein nucleotide site agonist GTP-gamma-S. Ligand attachment to the orexin-A receptor thus depends on an association with both PtdIns-PLC and G-protein alpha-subunits. In all paradigms examined, the binding of [(125)I]orexin-A was competed by human/rat neuropeptide Y (hNPY) and porcine secretin with a potency similar to orexin-A (IC(50) range 30-100 nM). The rank order of potency for NPY-related peptides was hNPY > porcine peptide YY (pPYY) > (Leu(31), Pro(34)) human PYY > human PYY(3-36) > hNPY free acid > human pancreatic polypeptide. Among secretin-related peptides, the rank order of potency was porcine secretin > or = orexin-A > human pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide > orexin-B > porcine vasoactive intestinal peptide. Among opioid peptides, rat beta-endorphin and camel delta-endorphin were much less active than NPY and secretin, and two enkephalins were inactive at 1 microM. In view of high abundance of NPY in forebrain, the above cross-reactivity could indicate a significant contribution of NPY to signaling via orexin-A receptors.

Implants of diethylstilbestrol inducing anterior pituitary prolactinomas in female Fischer-344 rats produced a considerable elevation of high-affinity binding of either rat or human pancreatic polypeptide (hPP). No comparable upregulation of high-affinity binding sites was noted for the ligand [125I](Leu31,Pro34)hPYY (LP-PYY) (masked by 2 nM hPP to force selectivity for the Y1 sites), or of the Y2-selective ligand [125I]hPYY(3-36). The Y5-like sites displayed the rank order of potency of hPP = rPP, hNPY, LP-PYY > pPYY(1-36) > hNPY(2-36) > hPYY(3-36) >> aPP, similar to the previously described rabbit kidney or hypothalamic Y5-like receptors. The PP binding in the anterior pituitary was not sensitive to the Y1-selective non-peptidic antagonist BIBP-3226. The PP binding was highly sensitive to alkali metal cations, and to a N5-substituted amiloride antagonist of sodium transport, but not to a C2-guanido substituted amiloride antagonist of sodium channels. The binding was also sensitive to phospholipase C antagonist U-73122, and to alkylating alpha-adrenergic agonist chloroethylclonidine. Lactotrophs isolated in Percoll gradients after enzymic dispersion of the anterior pituitary gland retained the high-affinity PP binding. Following removal of estrogen implants, the hPP binding sites decreased to very low levels within 3 days, in parallel to the decrease of plasma prolactin.

Previous studies show that neuropeptide Y(1-36) (NPY(1-36)) and peptide YY(1-36) (PYY(1-36)), by engaging Y1 receptors, stimulate proliferation of spontaneous hypertensive rat (SHR) preglomerular vascular smooth muscle cells (PGVSMCs). In contrast, these peptides have little effect on proliferation of Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) PGVSMCs. Why SHR and WKY PGVSMCs differ in this regard is unknown. Because receptor for activated C kinase 1 (RACK1) can modulate cell proliferation, we tested the hypothesis that differences in RACK1 levels/localization may explain the differential response of SHR vs. WKY PGVSMCs to NPY(1-36) and PYY(1-36). Western blotting for RACK1 in subcellular fractions of cultured SHR and WKY PGVSMCs demonstrated increased levels of RACK1 in the membrane and cytoskeletal subcellular fractions of SHR vs. WKY PGVSMCs. NPY(1-36) and PYY(1-36) stimulated proliferation of SHR PGVSMCs, and siRNA knockdown of RACK1 abrogated this effect. Neither NPY(1-36) nor PYY(1-36) stimulated the proliferation of WKY PGVSMCs. However, in WKY PGVSMCs treated with a RACK1 plasmid, both NPY(1-36) and PYY(1-36) stimulated proliferation. In SHR PGVSMCs, inhibitors of the G(i)/phospholipase C/PKC pathway (a pathway known to be organized by RACK1) attenuated the ability of NPY(1-36) to stimulate the proliferation of SHR PGVSMCs. Our results suggest that RACK1 modulates the ability of PGVSMCs to respond to the proliferative actions of NPY(1-36) and PYY(1-36)and differences in RACK1 levels/localization account for, in part, differential proliferative responses to NPY(1-36) and PYY(1-36) in SHR vs. WKY PGVSMCs. Because dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitors increase NPY(1-36) and PYY(1-36) levels, our findings have implications for the use of such drugs in diabetic patients.

Cardiac sympathetic nerves release neuropeptide Y (NPY)1-36, and peptide YY (PYY)1-36 is a circulating peptide; therefore, these PP-fold peptides could affect cardiac fibroblasts (CFs). We examined the effects of NPY1-36 and PYY1-36 on the proliferation of and collagen production ([(3)H]proline incorporation) by CFs isolated from Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) normotensive rats and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). Experiments were performed with and without sitagliptin, an inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidase 4 [DPP4; an ectoenzyme that metabolizes NPY1-36 and PYY1-36 (Y1 receptor agonists) to NPY3-36 and PYY3-36 (inactive at Y1 receptors), respectively]. NPY1-36 and PYY1-36, but not NPY3-36 or PYY3-36, stimulated proliferation of CFs, and these effects were more potent than ANG II, enhanced by sitagliptin, blocked by BIBP3226 (Y1 receptor antagonist), and greater in SHR CFs. SHR CF membranes expressed more receptor for activated C kinase (RACK)1 [which scaffolds the Gi/phospholipase C (PLC)/PKC pathway] compared with WKY CF membranes. RACK1 knockdown (short hairpin RNA) and inhibition of Gi (pertussis toxin), PLC (U73122), and PKC (GF109203X) blocked the proliferative effects of NPY1-36. NPY1-36 and PYY1-36 stimulated collagen production more potently than did ANG II, and this was enhanced by sitagliptin and greater in SHR CFs. In conclusion, 1) NPY1-36 and PYY1-36, via the Y1 receptor/Gi/PLC/PKC pathway, activate CFs, and this pathway is enhanced in SHR CFs due to increased localization of RACK1 in membranes; and 2) DPP4 inhibition enhances the effects of NPY1-36 and PYY1-36 on CFs, likely by inhibiting the metabolism of NPY1-36 and PYY1-36. The implications are that endogenous NPY1-36 and PYY1-36 could adversely affect cardiac structure/function by activating CFs, and this may be exacerbated in genetic hypertension and by DPP4 inhibitors.
