The effects of seven competitive atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) receptor antagonists were compared on cultured human neuroblastoma NB-OK-1 cells expressing exclusively ANPA receptors, by evaluating their capacity to inhibit [125I]ANP binding and to suppress ANP-stimulated cyclic GMP elevation. In ANP analogues with a shortened Cys7-Cys18 bridge, Asp13 and a hydrophobic Tic residue at position 16 expressed antagonistic activity, while Ala16 provoked lower antagonistic potency and Phe16 induced receptor activation. The binding affinity of A71915 ([Arg6, Cha8]ANP-(6-15)-D-Tic-Arg-Cys-NH2), the most potent antagonist (with a pKi of 9.18 and a pA2 of 9.48) was only 22 times less lower than that of the agonist ANP-(1-28).

ANP-R1 receptors for atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) showed the following rank order of affinity in intact human neuroblastoma cells NB-OK-1: human ANP-(99-126) approximately human ANP-(102-126) approximately rat ANP-(99-126) (K1 17-32 pM) > human ANP-(103-126) > porcine brain natriuretic peptide (BNP). Analogues truncated at the C-terminal extremity or devoid of a disulphide bridge, such as rat ANP-(103-123), rat C-ANP-(102-121), rat ANP-(111-126), rat ANP-(99-109) and rat [desCys105,Cys121]ANP-(104-126) and chicken C-type natriuretic peptide, were not recognized. The occupancy of these high affinity ANP-R1 receptors led to marked cyclic GMP accumulation in the presence of 3-isobutyl 1-methylxanthine. An ectoenzymic activity, partly shed in the incubation medium, provoked the stepwise release of Phe-Arg-[125I]Tyr, Arg-[125I]Tyr and [125I]Tyr from rat [125I]ANP-(99-126), at an optimal pH of 7.0. Its inhibition by 1,10-phenanthroline, EDTA and bacitracin but not by thiorphan suggests the contribution of at least one neutral metalloendopeptidase, distinct from EC 3.4.24.11, for which ANP showed high affinity.

We characterized in membranes from the human neuroblastoma cell line NB-OK-1, an ANP-R1 receptor (Mr 130 kDa) for the atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP). This receptor recognized biologically active forms of ANP with high affinity but showed no affinity for truncated ANP forms. It was functional in that binding correlated with guanylate cyclase activation (a 2-fold increase in Vmax) with the following rank order of potency: rat ANP-(99-126) greater than human ANP-(99-126) greater than human ANP-(102-126) greater than porcine BNP (brain natriuretic peptide). The enzyme required free Mn2+ in addition to the Mn-GTP substrate (Km of about 0.3 mM for both basal and ANP-stimulated activity). In the presence of dithiothreitol, the dose-response curve of guanylate cyclase activation was shifted rightward by a factor of 30. ANP-R1 receptors were upregulated through protein synthesis in cells exposed to 1 mM carbamylcholine or 1 mM dibutyryl cyclic AMP for 8-24 h (ANP was ineffective).

The content of membrane peptidases has been compared in the human astrocytoma clone D384 and the human neuroblastoma line SH-SY5Y. Endopeptidase-24.11 (neutral endopeptidase, EC 3.4.24.11) was detectable only on the astrocytoma cells whereas angiotensin-converting enzyme (EC 3.4.15.1) was selectively expressed on the neuroblastoma line. Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (EC 3.4.14.5) was also abundant on the astrocytoma line. The presence of both endopeptidase-24.11 and dipeptidyl peptidase IV on D384 cells was confirmed by immunohistochemistry. A membrane preparation from D384 cells hydrolyzed both atrial natriuretic peptide and brain natriuretic peptide and, in both cases, the pattern of metabolism was similar to that seen with purified endopeptidase-24.11. The endopeptidase-24.11 inhibitor, phosphoramidon, at 1 microM abolished natriuretic peptide metabolism. The neuroblastoma line, which lacked endopeptidase-24.11, failed to metabolise atrial natriuretic peptide and brain natriuretic peptide, emphasizing the key role of the endopeptidase in hydrolyzing these regulatory peptides at the cell surface.

To clarify the presence of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in neural tissue, extracts from human neuroblastoma which is considered of neural crest origin were analyzed using a specific radioimmunoassay (RIA) for ANP. High concentrations of immunoreactive ANP ranging from 2.7 to 18.4 ng per mg of protein were demonstrated in the tissue. Furthermore, high performance gel permeation chromatography (HPGPC) coupled with the RIA revealed that the immunoreactive ANP found in the tissue consisted of only one component with molecular weight of 12,000 to 13,000 daltons, corresponding to gamma-human ANP (hANP). These results could be direct evidence for generation of ANP intrinsic of human neuronal tissue, and also suggest that neuroblastoma can be used as a model for investigation of mechanism of ANP formation within the neuronal tissues.

The occupancy of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) receptors of the ANPA type in human neuroblastoma NB-OK-1 cells elevates cGMP. In this study, ANP concentrations of 10 nM or more increased total K+ uptake. Data obtained in the presence of bumetanide and/or ouabain demonstrated that 1 microM ANP induced a primary stimulation (by 82%) of Na-K-Cl cotransport and a subsequent indirect stimulation (by 15%) of Na,K-ATPase. ANP also inhibited Na/H exchange through an amiloride-sensitive mechanism, as shown by intracellular pH measurement in cells challenged or not by an acid or alkaline load. (Bu)2cGMP mimicked all ANP effects, suggesting that ANP acted through a cGMP-dependent mechanism.

Characterization of the serotonin-induced increase in guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic GMP) was investigated and compared with that induced by atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in NG108-15 cells. The cyclic GMP formed by serotonin or ANP was transported in a similar manner to the extracellular medium, although the cyclic GMP formed by bradykinin was not. Serotonin and ANP raised cyclic GMP additively. Serotonin-induced cyclic GMP formation was completely inhibited by pretreatment with 100 nM 12-o-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA), although that induced by ANP was only partially inhibited and the effects were blocked by pretreatment with staurosporin. In membrane preparations, ANP stimulated cyclic GMP formation in the presence of ATP, but serotonin did not. Serotonin-stimulated cyclic GMP formation was found to occur in neuroblastoma N18TG-2, but not in glioma C6Bu-1. These results suggest that a novel subtype of serotonin receptors (5-HTGC) which stimulates membrane-bound guanylyl cyclase, different from that stimulated by natriuretic peptide, may exist especially in neurons.

Cyclic nucleotides levels and cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) activities were measured in human neuroblastoma NB-OK-1 cells possessing atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) receptors of the A type and pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP)-preferring receptors. Adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) and guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) degradation were interrelated since the increase in cGMP, induced by ANP-(99-126), stimulated the hydrolysis of cAMP by PDE isoenzyme II. In intact NB-OK-1 cells, the levels of cAMP and cGMP attained in the presence of, respectively, 1 nM PACAP-(1-27) and 10 nM ANP-(99-126), and in the absence or presence of PDE inhibitors, strongly suggested that cAMP hydrolysis was mainly achieved by isoenzyme IV, and to a lesser extent by isoenzymes I, II, and III, while cGMP was degraded by isoenzymes I, II, III, and V. More than one-half of total cAMP- and cGMP-hydrolyzing activities was present in the membrane-bound fraction. Cyclic nucleotide PDE activities separated by anion-exchange chromatography showed that isoenzymes III and IV were mainly present in the membrane fraction, while isoenzymes I, II, and V were in the cytosolic fraction.

In the present study, we investigated the effects of chronic in vitro administration of amitriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant, on cyclic GMP formation stimulated by 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in the neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid cell line, NG 108-15, 5-HT (0.01-100 microM)-stimulated cyclic GMP formation was concentration-dependent and was sensitive to ICS 205-930, a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist. Exposure of NG 108-15 cells to 5 microM amitriptyline for 3 days significantly reduced 5-HT-stimulated cyclic GMP formation. Acute treatment with amitriptyline had no effect on 5-HT-stimulated cyclic GMP formation. The reduction by chronic amitriptyline exposure of 10 microM 5-HT-stimulated cyclic GMP formation was concentration-dependent over the concentration range examined (0.5 to 10 microM). The IC50 of amitriptyline was 1.9 microM. In contrast, amitriptyline exposure, even at a concentration of 8 microM, failed to modify cyclic GMP formation stimulated by bradykinin, sodium nitroprusside, or atrial natriuretic peptide. Increases in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) evoked by 10 microM 5-HT were attenuated in amitriptyline-exposed cells, while 100 nM bradykinin-induced [Ca2+]i increases were not affected. In addition, chronic exposure to 5 microM amitriptyline caused a decrease in affinity (Kd) of [3H]zacopride specific binding to 5-HT3 recognition sites. The Bmax for the labelled ligand remained unchanged. These results suggest that chronic amitriptyline exposure reduces 5-HT-stimulated cyclic GMP formation and [Ca2+]i increases, and this may reflect the functional changes of 5-HT3 receptors.

Functional natriuretic peptide receptors of type A (NPR-A) were detected in the human neuroblastoma NB-OK-1, SK-N-SH and SK-N-BE, but not the SH-SY5Y, cell lines. Also, NPR-A mRNA was detected in 19 of the 25 tumor neuroblastoma samples tested in this study. Five of the eight tumor neuroblastoma samples that were assayed for atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) binding revealed the presence of ANP-binding sites. In the human neuroblastoma NB-OK-1 cell line, [(3)H] thymidine incorporation was increased in response to ANP, decreased in response to pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP-27), and the stimulatory effect of ANP was inhibited by PACAP-27. Tissue transglutaminase activity was decreased by ANP and PACAP-27, and their effects were additive. However, neither cell cycle phases, cell growth, or cell apoptosis were modified by ANP or PACAP-27 treatments.
