The neuroblastoma line SK-N-SH consists of distinct and interconverting cell types, which include a neuroblast phenotype (SH-SY5Y), an epithelial phenotype (SH-EP), and an intermediate cell type (SH-IN). In SH-SY5Y cells, only muscarinic receptor activation produced stimulation of phosphoinositide turnover, whereas in SH-EP cells, where muscarinic receptors are not present, the peptides bradykinin, endothelin, and angiotensin II stimulated phosphoinositide hydrolysis with EC50 values of 16, 6, and 0.7 nM, respectively, and a rank order of maximal effects of bradykinin greater than endothelin greater than angiotensin II. Fetal calf serum at concentrations between 1 and 10% was also a potent stimulator of phosphoinositide hydrolysis in SH-EP cells but not in SH-SY5Y cells. In the intermediate cell clone, SH-IN, phosphoinositide hydrolysis was stimulated not only by muscarinic receptors, but also by endothelin, bradykinin, and serum, an indication that this cell type harbors all the kinds of receptors that are differentially expressed in the other two cell types. The effects of the three peptides--bradykinin, endothelin, and angiotensin II--on phosphoinositide hydrolysis in SH-EP cells were additive, a result suggesting that the three kinds of receptors may activate distinct transducer proteins and/or phospholipase C subtypes. Pretreatment of intact SH-EP cells with pertussis toxin under conditions sufficient to ADP-ribosylate 90-95% of the endogenous guanine nucleotide regulatory protein substrates did not impair the ability of any of the receptors to stimulate phosphoinositide hydrolysis in any of the cell types. In contrast, short-term exposure to the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (1 microM) abolished the stimulation of phosphoinositide hydrolysis mediated by peptide receptors in SH-EP cells and partially inhibited that by muscarinic receptors in SH-SY5Y cells. Prolonged incubation of SH-EP cells with phorbol ester resulted in a recovery of receptor responsiveness, the extent and rate of which were different for each receptor type. In contrast, there was no recovery of responsiveness for muscarinic receptors in SH-SY5Y cells. The pattern of phorbol ester-mediated effects depended on the cell rather than on the receptor type. In fact, muscarinic receptor responsiveness in SH-IN, the intermediate cell type, was desensitized by and recovered from treatment with phorbol esters in a manner more similar to peptide receptors in SH-EP than to muscarinic receptors in SH-SY5Y. These data suggest that the transduction mechanisms by which distinct receptor types are coupled to phosphoinositide hydrolysis in the three cell phenotypes differ in sensitivity to feedback regulation by protein kinase C.

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) receptors in the SK-N-MC human neuroblastoma cell line couple to mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ and inhibition of adenylylcyclase. Pretreatment of SK-N-MC cells with isoproterenol enhanced the NPY-stimulated Ca2+ mobilization, mainly by increasing the maximal response to NPY. The enhancement was time-(maximal after 24 h) and concentration-dependent (maximal at 10 microM isoproterenol), blocked by the beta-adrenergic antagonist propranolol, and mimicked by forskolin. Concomitant treatment with cycloheximide prevented the enhancing effect of isoproterenol, suggesting the involvement of protein synthesis. Isoproterenol treatment did not alter the number or affinity of 125I-labeled NPY binding sites, the amount of pertussis toxin substrates, or NPY-mediated inhibition of cAMP accumulation. Similarly, isoproterenol treatment had no effect on basal intracellular Ca2+ and on Ca2+ increases elicited by carbachol, caffeine, or ionomycin. We conclude that isoproterenol treatment can sensitize NPY receptor responsiveness in a way that is specific for Ca2+ mobilization mechanisms used by this hormone.

The psychoactive properties of Cannabis sativa and its major biologically active constituent, delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol, have been known for years. The recent identification and cloning of a specific cannabinoid receptor suggest that cannabinoids mimic endogenous compounds affecting neural signals for mood, memory, movement, and pain. Using whole-cell voltage clamp and the cannabinomimetic aminoalkylindole WIN 55,212-2, we have found that cannabinoid receptor activation reduces the amplitude of voltage-gated calcium currents in the neuroblastoma-glioma cell line NG108-15. The inhibition is potent, being half-maximal at less than 10 nM, and reversible. The inactive enantiomer, WIN 55,212-3, does not reduce calcium currents even at 1 microM. Of the several types of calcium currents in NG108-15 cells, cannabinoids predominantly inhibit an omega-conotoxin-sensitive, high-voltage-activated calcium current. Inhibition was blocked by incubation with pertussis toxin but was not altered by prior treatment with hydrolysis-resistant cAMP analogues together with a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, suggesting that the transduction pathway between the cannabinoid receptor and calcium channel involves a pertussis toxin-sensitive GTP-binding protein and is independent of cAMP metabolism. However, the development of inhibition is considerably slower than a pharmacologically similar pathway used by an alpha 2-adrenergic receptor in these cells. Our results suggest that inhibition of N-type calcium channels, which could decrease excitability and neurotransmitter release, may underlie some of the psychoactive effects of cannabinoids.

Five separate guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) were immunologically identified in membranes from neuroblastoma x glioma NG108-15 hybrid cells. These alpha subunit proteins were Gi2 alpha, two isoforms of Gi3 alpha, and two isoforms of Go alpha. The G proteins that interacted with delta-opioid receptors in these membranes were identified using cholera toxin (CTX)-induced ADP-ribosylation and antisera selective for various G protein alpha subunits. In the presence of delta-opioid agonists, CTX induced the incorporation of [32P]ADP-ribose into three pertussis toxin substrates. Using antisera generated against peptide sequences from G alpha subunits, these three pertussis toxin substrates were identified as Gi2 alpha, Go2 alpha, and one isoform of Gi3 alpha, which has yet to be identified. This CTX-induced labeling was demonstrated to be mediated via the delta-opioid receptor in these hybrid cells by the observation that delta agonists D-Ala2-D-Leu5-enkephalin (DA-DLE) and D-Pen2-D-Pen5-enkephalin, as well as the nonselective agonists etorphine and bremazocine, were active, but the mu agonist PL017 and the kappa agonist U-50-488H did not show this activity. This incorporation into all three substrates induced by DADLE was dose dependent, with EC50 (95% confidence interval) values ranging from 12 (3-52) to 183 (65-520) nM, which compared with the Kd value of 10 +/- 1.5 nM for this agonist, a dose that produces maximal inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity. Furthermore, pretreatment of the cells with pertussis toxin or treatment of the membranes with the antagonist naloxone blocked the incorporation induced by DADLE. Incorporation of [32P]ADP-ribose into all three substrates decreased 35-83% in membranes in which the receptors had been down-regulated by chronic treatment of the cells with DADLE. Thus, a single opioid receptor type can interact with three separate G proteins.

1. We have utilised SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells and primary cultures of rat neonatal cerebellar granule cells, both expressing M3 muscarinic receptors, to examine agonist driven polyphosphoinositide hydrolysis and alterations in intracellular calcium. 2. Stimulation of SH-SY5Y cells leads to a biphasic increase in intracellular calcium, the initial peak being due to the release of calcium from an intracellular store and the second maintained phase being due to calcium entry across the plasma membrane. The channel involved does not appear to be voltage sensitive, to involve a pertussis toxin sensitive G protein, or be opened by inositol polyphosphates. 3. Muscarinic receptor stimulation also leads to increased inositol polyphosphate formation in SH-SY5Y cells. Ins(1,4,5)P3 mass formation was biphasic in profile whereas Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 mass formation was slower and monophasic in profile. These data are consistent with substantial activity of 5-phosphatase (dephosphorylating Ins(1,4,5)P3 to Ins(1,4)P2) and 3-kinase (phosphorylating Ins(1,4,5)P3 to Ins(1,3,4,5)P4) in SH-SY5Y cells. 4. In order to better understand the role of Ins(1,4,5)P3 and its metabolites in calcium homeostasis we have examined the ability of a variety of natural and synthetic analogues to release intracellular sequestered calcium. The Ins(1,4,5)P3 calcium mobilizing receptor displays a remarkable degree of stereo- and positional selectivity with the most potent agonist to date being Ins(1,4,5)P3 (EC50 = 0.09 microM). 5. As an alternative to the continuous SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma (tumour derived) cell line we have used the primary cultured cerebellar granule cell. These cells also display a biphasic increase in Ins(1,4,5)P3 mass and a subsequent release of intracellular stored calcium. In our hands carbachol appears to increase calcium influx, a response which is only visible in the absence of magnesium.

The LAN-1 clone, a cell line derived from a human neuroblastoma, possesses muscarinic receptors. The stimulation of these receptors with increasing concentrations of carbachol (CCh; 1-1,000 microM) caused a dose-dependent increase of the intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). This increase was characterized by an early peak phase (10 s) and a late plateau phase. The removal of extracellular Ca2+ reduced the magnitude of the peak phase to approximately 70% but completely abolished the plateau phase. The muscarinic-activated Ca2+ channel was gadolinium (Gd3+) blockade and nimodipine and omega-conotoxin insensitive. In addition, membrane depolarization did not cause any increase in [Ca2+]i. The CCh-induced [Ca2+]i elevation was concentration-dependently inhibited by pirenzepine and 4-diphenylacetoxy-N-methylpiperidine methiodide, two rather selective antagonists of M1 and M3 muscarinic receptor subtypes, respectively, whereas methoctramine, an M2 antagonist, was ineffective. The coupling of M1 and M3 receptor activation with [Ca2+]i elevation does not seem to be mediated by a pertussis toxin-sensitive guanine nucleotide-binding protein or by the diacylglycerol-protein kinase C system. The mobilization of [Ca2+]i elicited by M1 and M3 muscarinic receptor stimulation seems to be dependent on an inositol trisphosphate-sensitive intracellular store. In addition, ryanodine did not prevent CCh-induced [Ca2+]i mobilization, and, finally, LAN-1 cells appear to lack caffeine-sensitive Ca2+ stores, because the methylxanthine was unable to elicit intracellular Ca2+ mobilization, under basal conditions, after a subthreshold concentration of CCh (0.3 microM), or after thapsigargin.

Platelet-activating factor (PAF) initiated polyphosphoinositide (polyPI) breakdown and a rise of intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) in neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid NG 108-15 cells. The accumulation of [3H]inositol trisphosphate and [3H]inositol bisphosphate was evident within 15 s after PAF stimulation, peaked at 1 min, and then gradually decayed. The increase in [3H]inositol monophosphate level was observed at 30 s, plateaued in 5 min, and was sustained up to 10 min in the presence of 10 mM LiCl. On the other hand, the rise of [Ca2+]i evoked by PAF reached a peak within 8-12 s and returned to basal levels within 1 min as measured in fura 2-loaded cells. When cells were suspended in Ca(2+)-depleted medium, the PAF-induced [Ca2+]i rise was reduced by 80%, indicating that the increase of [Ca2+]i was predominantly due to the Ca2+ influx from an extracellular source. Both PAF-induced accumulation of 3H-labeled inositol phosphates and [Ca2+]i elevation were concentration dependent with EC50 values of approximately 1 x 10(-10) and 5 x 10(-8) M, respectively. The PAF analogs 1-O-hexadecyl-2-hydroxy-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine and 1-O-hexadecyl-2-O-methyl-rac-glycerol-3-phosphocholine were much poorer agonists at eliciting the same responses in these cells. Pretreatment of cells with pertussis toxin caused a substantial inhibition of PAF-induced accumulation of 3H-inositol phosphates. In contrast, the rise in [Ca2+]i was not significantly affected by toxin treatment at the same concentration.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Human beta-endorphin 1-31 (beta-END) stimulated low-Km GTPase activity in a concentration-dependent and saturable manner in membranes prepared from the delta opioid receptor-containing hybrid cell line NG108-15 and from the mu opioid receptor-enriched human neuroblastoma cell line SK-N-SH. Naloxone and the delta-selective antagonist, ICI 174,864, blocked the stimulation of the GTPase activity produced by beta-END in NG108-15 cell membranes, whereas only naloxone inhibited the beta-END-induced stimulation in SK-N-SH cell membranes, suggesting that beta-END was acting through both mu and delta opioid receptors. Treatment of the cells with Bordetella pertussis toxin before the preparation of membranes blocked the stimulation of low-Km GTPase by beta-END in both cell lines. Activation of NG108-15 and SK-N-SH low-Km GTPase by beta-END was sodium-dependent, and lithium and potassium were poor promoters of this activation. These results demonstrate that beta-END stimulates the interaction of both mu and delta opioid receptors with B. pertussis toxin-sensitive G-proteins in SK-N-SH and NG108-15 cell membranes, respectively.

The signal transduction systems of the neuropeptide Y (NPY) Y1 receptor were studied in SK-N-MC human neuroblastoma cells. NPY induced an increase in intracellular calcium ion concentration ([Ca2+]i) and inhibition of forskolin-stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation, which were mediated through Y1 receptors. One-min preincubation of cells with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) inhibited both signal transductions dose-dependently, but its effect on [Ca2+]i was about 100-fold more potent than that on cyclic AMP. PMA had no effect on [125I]BH-NPY binding in SK-N-MC cells and hardly inhibited the endothelin-1-induced increase in [Ca2+]i. Pertussis toxin also inhibited the NPY-induced [Ca2+]i increase 30-fold more effectively than the NPY-mediated inhibition of cyclic AMP accumulation. These results indicate that Y1 receptors in SK-N-MC cells couple to two signal transduction systems that have different sensitivities to phorbol ester and pertussis toxin treatments.

NG108-15 neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid cells and S49 lymphoma cells exhibit an enhancement in adenylyl cyclase activity after chronic treatment with receptor agonists that acutely inhibit the enzyme. Using agonists that activate five distinct inhibitory receptors in NG108-15 cells, we have found that there is a correlation between the extent of acute inhibition of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1)-stimulated cAMP accumulation and efficacy for induction of enhanced PGE1 stimulation of cAMP accumulation after chronic treatment and withdrawal. Chronic treatment with dideoxyadenosine, which acutely inhibits adenylyl cyclase activity by a mechanism independent or cell surface receptors or pertussis toxin-sensitive G proteins, did not induce enhanced PGE1 stimulation of cAMP accumulation in NG108-15 cells or forskolin stimulation of cAMP accumulation in S49 cells. While control basal cAMP concentrations were acutely decreased by carbachol in NG108-15 cells and by somatostatin in S49 cells, when the cAMP concentrations were maintained above the control basal values with a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, chronic treatment with these inhibitory drugs nonetheless resulted in enhanced cAMP responses in both NG108-15 and S49 cells. These results provide evidence that the initial decrement in cAMP concentrations caused by inhibitory drug is not the requisite signal for inducing the subsequent sensitization of adenylyl cyclase in NG108-15 and S49 cells but that activation of a pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein is involved in the development of this important adaptation.
