Radioligand binding and functional assays were employed to demonstrate the existence of somatostatin receptors in the murine neuroblastoma clone N1E-115. Saturation experiments with [125I][Tyr11]somatostatin-14 indicated the presence of a single class of binding sites in membranes prepared from N1E-115 cells (Kd = 83 pM; Bmax = 21,000 receptors/cell). Somatostatin-14, somatostatin-28 and L363586 (cyclo(N-Me-ALA-TYR-D-TRP-LYS-VAL-PHE] all displaced the 125I-ligand monophasically in N1E-115 cells (Ki values were 28, 82 and 34 pM, respectively), which contrasted with the binding heterogeneity apparent with L363586 in rat brain membranes. The binding of [125I][Tyr11]somatostatin-14 was reduced by GppNHp, indicating that N1E-115 somatostatin receptors interacted with guanine nucleotide binding protein(s). Somatostatin agonists decreased by 30-50% the levels of [3H]cyclic AMP induced in intact cells by forskolin, prostaglandin E1, or vasoactive intestinal polypeptide. The EC50 values for inhibition of the [3H]cyclic AMP response to PGE1 by L363586, somatostatin-14, and somatostatin-28 were 0.24, 0.63 and 1.0 nM, respectively. Pertussis toxin treatment of N1E-115 cells reduced both binding to the receptor and the functional response to somatostatin-14. These data suggest that a single class of somatostatin receptors in N1E-115 cells are linked to the inhibition of adenylate cyclase through a Gi protein.

The human gastric tumoral cell line HGT-1 was previously shown to contain a membrane somatostatin receptor negatively coupled to adenylate cyclase through a pertussis toxin-sensitive inhibitory GTP-binding regulatory protein (Gi) (Reyl-Desmars, F., Laboisse, C., and Lewin, M. J. M. (1986) Regul. Pept. 16, 207-215). In this study, we have solubilized this receptor in a free unoccupied form using Triton X-100 as detergent and [125I-Tyr11]somatostatin-14 to monitor specific binding. Furthermore, we have prepared a monoclonal antibody against a chromatographically enriched soluble receptor fraction and used this antibody (30F3) to immunopurify the receptor in conjunction with Sepharose-somatostatin-14 immunopurification and steric exclusion high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). The purified fraction showed 18,600-fold enrichment in terms of specific binding (i.e. from 0.6 +/- 0.05 to 11,300 +/- 830 pmol/mg of protein) and a single dissociation constant (kappa D) of 76 +/- 8 nM. On HPLC, it migrated as a single and symmetric 90-kDa peak. Moreover, after 125I-protein labeling, it gave a single 90-kDa band on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis autoradiography. On the other hand, the 30F3 monoclonal antibody immunoblotted with a single 90-kDa band contained in the HGT-1 cell membrane. We therefore suggest that this antibody is specific to the HGT-1 membrane somatostatin receptor, that this receptor has a molecular mass of 90 kDa, and that we have obtained a homogeneous preparation of nondenatured receptor suitable for further cloning studies.

The prosomatostatin-derived peptides somatostatin-14 (Som-14) and somatostatin-28 (Som-28) are believed to act as neurotransmitters in the central nervous system. To examine possible mechanisms by which these peptides induce their physiological actions in brain, the effects of Som-14 and Som-28 on voltage-dependent K+ currents in rat cerebral cortical neurons in culture were examined by using whole-cell patch-clamp techniques. Som-14 increased a delayed rectifier K+ current (IK) in the cortical neurons, while Som-28 reduced IK in the neurons, both in a concentration-dependent manner. Som-14 and Som-28 could induce opposite changes in IK in the same neurons. Elevating intracellular cAMP in the cortical neurons did not modify the effects of Som-14 or Som-28 on IK, indicating that the peptides can regulate this ionic current through cAMP-independent mechanisms. Pretreatment of the neocortical cells with pertussis toxin, which inactivates inhibitory GTP-binding proteins, abolished both Som-14 and Som-28 modulation of IK, indicating that Som-14 and Som-28 receptors are coupled to IK via GTP-binding proteins. These studies show that Som-14 and Som-28 can induce opposite biological effects, suggesting that Som-14 and Som-28, acting through distinct receptors, may function as different neurotransmitters or neuromodulators.

Somatostatin receptors of plasma membranes from beta cells of hamster insulinoma were covalently labelled with 125I-[Leu8,D-Trp22,Tyr25]somatostatin-28 (125I-somatostatin-28) and solubilized with the non-denaturing detergent Triton X-100. Analysis by SDS/PAGE and autoradiography revealed three specific 125I-somatostatin-28 receptor complexes with similar molecular masses (228 kDa, 128 kDa and 45 kDa) to those previously identified [Cotroneo, P., Marie, J.-C. & Rosselin, G. (1988) Eur. J. Biochem. 174, 219-224]. The major labelled complex (128 kDa) was adsorbed to a wheat-germ-agglutinin agarose column and eluted by N-acetylglucosamine. Also, the binding of 125I-somatostatin-28 to plasma membranes was specifically inhibited by the GTP analog, guanosine-5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP[S]) in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, when somatostatin-28 receptors were solubilized by Triton X-100 as a reversible complex with 125I-somatostatin-28, GTP[S] specifically dissociated the bound ligand to a larger extent from the soluble receptors than from the plasma-membrane-embedded receptors, the radioactivity remaining bound after 15 min at 37 degrees C being 30% and 83% respectively. After pertussis-toxin-induced [32P]ADP-ribosylation of pancreatic membranes, a 41-kDa [32P]ADP-ribose-labelled inhibitory guanine nucleotide binding protein coeluted with the 128-kDa and 45-kDa receptor complexes. The labelling of both receptor proteins was sensitive to GTP[S]. The labelling of the 228-kDa band was inconsistent. These results support the conclusion that beta cell somatostatin receptors can be solubilized as proteins of 128 kDa and 45 kDa. The major labeled species corresponds to the 128-kDa band and is a glycoprotein. The pancreatic membrane contains a 41-kDa GTP-binding protein that can complex with somatostatin receptors.

Somatostatin (SRIF) inhibits stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation and adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) release from mouse anterior pituitary tumor cells (AtT-20/D16-16). In order to determine whether guanine nucleotide inhibitory proteins (Ni) mediate these effects, AtT-20 cells were treated with pertussis toxin, an agent that inactivates Ni. Pertussis toxin catalyses the ADP-ribosylation of a 41,000 MW protein in membranes of AtT-20 cells. Pretreatment with pertussis toxin prevents the subsequent ability of toxin to catalyse the labeling of Ni. This effect is dependent on the time of pretreatment and is not reversible. The inhibition of SRIF of forskolin-stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation and ACTH release is prevented by pertussis toxin treatment. The blockade is dependent on the time and concentration of toxin used and is not reversible. Pertussis toxin treatment prevents SRIF from inhibiting corticotropin releasing factor and cholera toxin-stimulated cyclic AMP synthesis. The inhibition of K+ and 8-bromocyclic AMP-stimulated ACTH release by SRIF is attenuated partially by toxin treatment. The ability of forskolin and cholera toxin to stimulate cyclic AMP formation and ACTH release is enhanced by treatment of AtT-20 cells with pertussis toxin. The increased cyclic AMP response to forskolin is prevented by cycloheximide. The data indicate that Ni mediates the inhibition by SRIF of cyclic AMP formation and the ACTH release that results from adenylate cyclase stimulation.

The release of ACTH from a clonal cell line of the mouse anterior pituitary (AtT-20/D16-16) can be stimulated by forskolin, 8-bromo-cAMP, and K+. SRIF and its structurally related analogs are very potent inhibitors of the ACTH release response to these secretagogues. The potency of SRIF, its analogs, and somatostatin-28 to inhibit stimulated ACTH release is relatively the same for each of these three secretagogues. The mechanisms by which SRIF regulates the secretion of ACTH can be differentiated by various pharmacological manipulations. Pretreatment of AtT-20 cells with SRIF (10(-7) M) desensitizes SRIF's inhibition of forskolin but not K+ or 8-bromo-cAMP-stimulated ACTH release. Pertussis toxin pretreatment abolishes SRIF's inhibition of forskolin-stimulated ACTH release but not SRIF's inhibition of the ACTH release response to K+ or 8-bromo-cAMP. In contrast, increasing the calcium concentration in the medium reduces SRIF's inhibition of K+ but not forskolin or 8-bromo-cAMP-stimulated ACTH release. These results suggest that SRIF regulates ACTH release from AtT-20 cells through multiple mechanisms. If SRIF acts through a single receptor to produce its effects on ACTH release, then the data imply that the SRIF receptor is coupled to more than one second messenger system.

Both forskolin, the activator of adenylate cyclase, and 8-bromocyclic (cAMP) increase cytosolic calcium levels (measured using Quin 2) and adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) release from a tumor cell line of the mouse anterior pituitary (AtT-20/D16-16). Somatostatin (SRIF) blocks the ACTH release response to each secretagogue but only inhibits forskolin-stimulated calcium mobilization suggesting that SRIF prevents the formation of cAMP rather than blocking the ability of cAMP to raise intracellular calcium concentrations. SRIF itself lowers intracellular calcium levels. The ACTH release response but not the rise in cytosolic calcium levels induced by the membrane-depolarizing agent K+, is blocked by SRIF, indicating that SRIF can interfere with some intracellular event, other than calcium mobilization or cAMP formation, to reduce ACTH secretion. Pertussis toxin uncouples SRIF receptors from adenylate cyclase by catalyzing the ADP-ribosylation of an inhibitory guanine nucleotide binding protein (Ni) in AtT-20 cell membranes. Pretreatment of AtT-20 cells with pertussis toxin abolishes the inhibition by SRIF of the ACTH release response and of the rise in cytosolic calcium induced by forskolin. In addition, the ability of SRIF to inhibit basal calcium levels is prevented by pertussis toxin treatment. Pertussis toxin treatment also reduced the ability of SRIF to inhibit K+-evoked ACTH release. SRIF receptor binding studies using the ligand 125I-CGP-23996 revealed that pertussis toxin treatment greatly diminished the affinity of the SRIF receptor for SRIF and its structural analogs. These results indicate that, in addition to coupling SRIF receptors to adenylate cyclase, Ni is also involved in the lowering by SRIF of resting calcium levels.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

It was shown that somatostatin (SRIF) inhibited cAMP-dependent vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)-stimulated prolactin (PRL) release by a GH3 clonal strain of rat pituitary tumor cells and decreased basal PRL secretion and inhibited PRL release in response to thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) whose action was independent of prior synthesis of cAMP. Pretreatment of these cells with pertussis toxin prevented SRIF's inhibitory effects on basal and TRH-stimulated hormone secretion as well as its VIP-stimulated responses. The blockade of SRIF's inhibitory effect on the actions of TRH or VIP was dependent on both the duration of preincubation and concentration of the toxin and was correlated with the ability of the toxin to catalyze the ADP-ribosylation of the 39,000-Da membrane protein. It is likely that this pertussis toxin substrate is involved in signal transduction of SRIF on cAMP-dependent actions of VIP and cAMP-independent action of TRH. However, the mechanism of SRIF's action on TRH is not clear, since SRIF did not affect the intracellular responses by TRH, neither intracellular Ca2+ mobilization nor the increase of 1,2-diacylglycerol formation following the breakdown of polyphosphoinositides.

The involvement of guanine nucleotide regulatory proteins in the steroidogenic response of the adrenal glomerulosa to angiotensin II (AII) was investigated by analyzing the effects of Bordetella pertussis toxin (PT) on several aspects of AII action. These included receptor binding, stimulation of aldosterone production and GTPase activity, inhibition of cAMP production, and attenuation of the aldosterone response at high angiotensin concentrations. Pretreatment of glomerulosa cells with PT abolished the inhibitory effects of both AII and somatostatin (SRIF) on ACTH-stimulated cAMP production. Under the same incubation conditions, the stimulation of aldosterone secretion by submaximal and maximal steroidogenic concentrations of AII was completely unaffected by the toxin. However, the attenuation of steroid responses seen with supramaximal concentrations of AII was abolished. In addition, the ability of SRIF to inhibit AII-stimulated steroid production was markedly reduced by PT treatment. The binding of [125I]AII to high affinity sites in intact cells and particulate fractions, and modulation of the binding by guanine nucleotides, were unaffected by toxin pretreatment, even under conditions where a 40-41K protein was completely ADP ribosylated. In contrast, the toxin substantially diminished the binding of [125I]Tyr0-SRIF to SRIF receptors in glomerulosa cells (by 50% after 5 h and by 90% after 20 h). These results indicate that Ni or a similar protein probably mediates the inhibition of cAMP formation by AII and the attenuation of the steroid response by high concentrations of AII as well as the inhibitory actions of SRIF in the adrenal glomerulosa cell. Furthermore, the lack of effect of PT on AII binding and stimulation of GTPase activity suggests the existence of an additional pertussis-insensitive guanine nucleotide-regulatory protein that is activated by lower concentrations of AII and mediates the stimulation of aldosterone production.

We have investigated the effect of prior exposure to somatostatin (SRIF) alone or in combination with growth hormone-releasing factor (GRF) on the subsequent cyclic AMP and GH responses to GRF in rat anterior pituitary cells in primary culture. The maximal 4.5-fold stimulation of GH release induced by a 3-hr incubation with GRF is reduced by 60% following a prior 3-hr exposure to 30 nM GRF. A 3-hr preincubation with GRF in the presence of 30 nM SRIF doubles spontaneous GH release while the maximal amount of GH released during a subsequent 3-hr exposure to GRF is similar to that measured in cells pretreated with control medium, thus completely preventing the loss of GH responsiveness induced by prior exposure to GRF. The prevention by SRIF of the desensitizing action of GRF on GH release is not observed on the cyclic AMP response which remains almost completely inhibited in GRF-pretreated cells. Similar protective effects are obtained when SRIF is incubated with prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), thus completely preventing the desensitizing action of PGE2 on GH release. Prior treatment with pertussis toxin completely prevents the protective action of SRIF on GH responsiveness. Pretreatment with GRF + SRIF increases by 85 and 60% the maximal amount of GH release induced by cholera toxin and 8-bromoadenosine 3',5'-monophosphate, respectively. The post-SRIF rebound effect on GH release occurs mainly during the first 30 min following withdrawal of the tetradecapeptide. The present data demonstrate that simultaneous preincubation with SRIF and GRF prevents the marked inhibition of GH release during subsequent exposure to GRF.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
