Neuroprotective Effects of Neuropeptide Y on Human Neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y Cells in Glutamate Excitotoxicity and ER Stress Conditions. Cells 2022; 11:cells11223665. [PMID: 36429093 PMCID: PMC9688085 DOI: 10.3390/cells11223665] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2022] [Revised: 11/15/2022] [Accepted: 11/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Neuropeptide Y (NPY), a sympathetic neurotransmitter, is involved in various physiological functions, and its dysregulation is implicated in several neurodegenerative diseases. Glutamate excitotoxicity, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and oxidative stress are the common mechanisms associated with numerous neurodegenerative illnesses. The present study aimed to elucidate the protective effects of NPY against glutamate toxicity and tunicamycin-induced ER stress in the human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell line. We exposed the SH-SY5Y cells to glutamate and tunicamycin for two different time points and analyzed the protective effects of NPY at different concentrations. The protective effects of NPY treatments were assessed by cell viability assay, and the signalling pathway changes were evaluated by biochemical techniques such as Western blotting and immunofluorescence assays. Our results showed that treatment of SH-SY5Y cells with NPY significantly increased the viability of the cells in both glutamate toxicity and ER stress conditions. NPY treatments significantly attenuated the glutamate-induced pro-apoptotic activation of ERK1/2 and JNK/BAD pathways. The protective effects of NPY were further evident against tunicamycin-induced ER stress. NPY treatments significantly suppressed the ER stress activation by downregulating BiP, phospho-eIF2α, and CHOP expression. In addition, NPY alleviated the Akt/FoxO3a pathway in acute oxidative conditions caused by glutamate and tunicamycin in SH-SY5Y cells. Our results demonstrated that NPY is neuroprotective against glutamate-induced cell toxicity and tunicamycin-induced ER stress through anti-apoptotic actions.

Neurochem Int 2013; 63:756-64. [PMID: 24140431 PMCID: PMC3858812 DOI: 10.1016/j.neuint.2013.10.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 239] [Impact Index Per Article: 21.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2013] [Revised: 09/24/2013] [Accepted: 10/10/2013] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
Prebiotic feeding elevated BDNF and NR1subunit mRNAs, in the rat hippocampus. The GOS prebiotic increased cortical NR1, d-serine, and hippocampal NR2A subunits. GOS feeding elevated plasma levels of the gut peptide PYY. GOS plasma increased BDNF release from human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. BDNF secretion from cells by GOS plasma was blocked by PYY antisera.
The influence of the gut microbiota on brain chemistry has been convincingly demonstrated in rodents. In the absence of gut bacteria, the central expression of brain derived neurotropic factor, (BDNF), and N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) subunits are reduced, whereas, oral probiotics increase brain BDNF, and impart significant anxiolytic effects. We tested whether prebiotic compounds, which increase intrinsic enteric microbiota, also affected brain BDNF and NMDARs. In addition, we examined whether plasma from prebiotic treated rats released BDNF from human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells, to provide an initial indication of mechanism of action. Rats were gavaged with fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) or water for five weeks, prior to measurements of brain BDNF, NMDAR subunits and amino acids associated with glutamate neurotransmission (glutamate, glutamine, and serine and alanine enantiomers). Prebiotics increased hippocampal BDNF and NR1 subunit expression relative to controls. The intake of GOS also increased hippocampal NR2A subunits, and frontal cortex NR1 and d-serine. Prebiotics did not alter glutamate, glutamine, l-serine, l-alanine or d-alanine concentrations in the brain, though GOSfeeding raised plasma d-alanine. Elevated levels of plasma peptide YY (PYY) after GOS intake was observed. Plasma from GOS rats increased the release of BDNF from SH-SY5Y cells, but not in the presence of PYY antisera. The addition of synthetic PYY to SH-SY5Y cell cultures, also elevated BDNF secretion. We conclude that prebiotic-mediated proliferation of gut microbiota in rats, like probiotics, increases brain BDNF expression, possibly through the involvement of gut hormones. The effect of GOS on components of central NMDAR signalling was greater than FOS, and may reflect the proliferative potency of GOS on microbiota. Our data therefore, provide a sound basis to further investigate the utility of prebiotics in the maintenance of brain health and adjunctive treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders.

Therapeutic concentrations of valproate but not amitriptyline increase neuropeptide Y (NPY) expression in the human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cell line. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2013; 186:123-30. [PMID: 23994577 DOI: 10.1016/j.regpep.2013.08.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2012] [Revised: 08/05/2013] [Accepted: 08/12/2013] [Indexed: 01/26/2023]
Abstract
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a peptide found in the brain and autonomic nervous system, which is associated with anxiety, depression, epilepsy, learning and memory, sleep, obesity and circadian rhythms. NPY has recently gained much attention as an endogenous antiepileptic and antidepressant agent, as drugs with antiepileptic and/or mood-stabilizing properties may exert their action by increasing NPY concentrations, which in turn can reduce anxiety and depression levels, dampen seizures or increase seizure threshold. We have used human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells to investigate the effect of valproate (VPA) and amitriptyline (AMI) on NPY expression at therapeutic plasma concentrations of 0.6mM and 630nM, respectively. In addition, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) known to differentiate SH-SY5Y cells into a neuronal phenotype and to increase NPY expression through activation of protein kinase C (PKC) was applied as a positive control (16nM). Cell viability after drug treatment was tested with a 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. NPY expression was measured using immunofluorescence and quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR). Results from immunocytochemistry have shown NPY levels to be significantly increased following a 72h but not 24h VPA treatment. A further increase in expression was observed with simultaneous VPA and TPA treatment, suggesting that the two agents may increase NPY expression through different mechanisms. The increase in NPY mRNA by VPA and TPA was confirmed with qRT-PCR after 72h. In contrast, AMI had no effect on NPY expression in SH-SY5Y cells. Together, the data point to an elevation of human NPY mRNA and peptide levels by therapeutic concentrations of VPA following chronic treatment. Thus, upregulation of NPY may have an impact in anti-cancer treatment of neuroblastomas with VPA, and antagonizing hypothalamic NPY effects may help to ameliorate VPA-induced weight gain and obesity without interfering with the desired central effects of VPA.

Abstract
Several neuroendocrine tumors are known to express both the somatostatin receptor subtype 2 (SSTR2) and the norepinephrine transporter (NET), and radiopharmaceuticals directed toward both these targets such as MIBG and octreotide derivatives are routinely used in the clinic. To investigate the possibility of targeting both NET and SSTR2 conjointly, a conjugate of radioiodinated MIBG and octreotate was synthesized. Attempts to synthesize the radioiodinated target compound (MIBG-octreotate; [ (131)I] 12a) from a tin precursor were futile; however, it could be accomplished from a bromo precursor by exchange radioiodination in 3-36% ( n = 10) radiochemical yields. The total uptake of [ (131)I] 12a in SK-N-SH human neuroblastoma cells transfected to express SSTR2 (SK-N-SHsst2) was similar to that for [ (125)I]MIBG at all time points (34.9 +/- 2.4% vs 43.8 +/- 1.2% at 4 h; p < 0.05), while it was substantially lower (5.4 +/- 0.3% vs 35.9 +/- 1.2%) in the SH-SY5Y cell line, a subclone of SK-N-SH line that is known to express SSTR2. The NET blocker desipramine reduced the uptake of [ (131)I] 12a only to a small extent, further suggesting a limited role of NET in its binding and accumulation. Uptake of [ (131)I] 12a in SK-N-SHsst2 cells was 8-10-fold higher ( p < 0.05) than that of [ (125)I]I-Gluc-TOCA, an octreotide analogue, at all time points over a 4 h period and was reduced to about 20% by 10 muM octreotide demonstrating that the uptake of [ (131)I] 12a in this cell line is predominantly mediated by SSTR2. The intracellularly trapped radioactivity in SK-N-SHsst2 cells was substantially higher for [ (131)I] 12a compared to that for [ (125)I]OIBG-octreotate, an isomeric congener of 12a. Because MIBG has more specific NET-mediated uptake than OIBG, this suggests at least a partial role for NET-mediated uptake of [ (131)I] 12a in this cell line. While further refinement in the structure of the conjugate-probably interposition of a flexible and/or cleavable linker between the MIBG and octreotate moieties-may be necessary to make it a substrate/ligand for both NET and SSTR2, this conjugate is demonstrated to be much superior than I-Gluc-TOCA with respect to the uptake in SSTR2-expressing cells.

Abstract
This study deals with the role of neuropeptide Y (NPY) in the regulation of cell proliferation. NPY is expressed in the normal and tumoral prostate, but no data on its possible role in prostate cancer (PCa) progression are available. Therefore, we evaluated the direct effect of NPY on the growth of the human PCa cell lines LNCaP (androgen dependent) and DU145 and PC3 (androgen independent). All PCa cell lines expressed Y1-R gene and protein. NPY treatment reduced the proliferation of LNCaP and DU145 cells and increased that of PC3 cells. The Y1-R antagonist BIBP3226 abolished such effects, suggesting a mandatory role of Y1-R in this process. LNCaP cells showed elevated constitutive levels of phosphorylated ERK1/2, which were not affected by NPY. In DU145 cells, NPY stimulated a long-lasting ERK1/2 activation, whereas, in PC3 cells, this effect was rapid and transient and required activation of protein kinase C. Moreover, in both cell lines, pretreatment with BIBP3226 prevented the NPY-induced ERK1/2 phosphorylation, further supporting Y1-R involvement. NPY treatment reduced forskolin-stimulated cAMP accumulation only in PC3 cells and did not change intracellular calcium concentration in any PCa cell line. These data indicate that NPY may directly regulate PCa cell growth via Y1-R. The direction of this effect appears to be related to the time kinetics of MAPK activation, i.e. long-lasting vs. transient, and to the clone-specific involvement of other intracellular signals. These findings suggest that NPY-related mechanisms might play a relevant role in the progression of PCa, at both androgen dependent and independent stages.

Abstract
The mechanism by which ATP primes for subsequent macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC) mediated intracellular calcium (Ca2+(i)) responses at the human CCR4 receptor stably expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells was investigated. MDC alone was unable to elicit a Ca2+(i) response, but pre-stimulation of cells with ATP enabled a subsequent MDC-mediated Ca2+(i) response with a pEC50 of 8.66+/-0.16. The maximal response elicited by MDC was dependent upon the concentration of ATP used to prime, but the pEC50 was stable at all ATP concentrations tested. Pertussis toxin pre-treatment did not effect the ATP response, but abolished that to MDC, demonstrating that priming with ATP did not alter G protein-coupling specificity of the CCR4 receptor. Ionomycin and thapsigargin both increased Ca2+(i) concentrations (pEC50s of 7.59+/-0.57 and 6.81+/-0.31 respectively), but were unable to prime for MDC responses, suggesting the priming mechanism was not dependent upon increases in Ca2+(i) concentrations. Priming of the MDC response was still observed when experiments were performed with low Ca2+(e) (70 microM), indicating that Ca2+ influx was not required for ATP to prime the CCR4 receptor. Neither Ro31-8220 nor wortmannin affected priming, suggesting that protein kinase C and phosphoinositol 3-kinase were not involved. In conclusion, pre-stimulation of endogenous P2Y receptors with ATP facilitates Ca2+ signalling at the recombinant CCR4 receptor in CHO cells, although the mechanism by which this occurs remains to be defined.

Abstract
In 1972, Brazeau et al. isolated somatostatin (somatotropin release-inhibiting factor, SRIF), a cyclic polypeptide with two biologically active isoforms (SRIF-14 and SRIF-28). This event prompted the successful quest for SRIF receptors. Then, nearly a quarter of a century later, it was announced that a neuropeptide, to be named cortistatin (CST), had been cloned, bearing strong resemblance to SRIF. Evidence of special CST receptors never emerged, however. CST rather competed with both SRIF isoforms for specific receptor binding. And binding to the known subtypes with affinities in the nanomolar range, it has therefore been acknowledged to be a third endogenous ligand at SRIF receptors. This review goes through mechanisms of signal transduction, pharmacology, and anatomical distribution of SRIF receptors. Structurally, SRIF receptors belong to the superfamily of G protein-coupled (GPC) receptors, sharing the characteristic seven-transmembrane-segment (STMS) topography. Years of intensive research have resulted in cloning of five receptor subtypes (sst(1)-sst(5)), one of which is represented by two splice variants (sst(2A) and sst(2B)). The individual subtypes, functionally coupled to the effectors of signal transduction, are differentially expressed throughout the mammalian organism, with corresponding differences in physiological impact. It is evident that receptor function, from a physiological point of view, cannot simply be reduced to the accumulated operations of individual receptors. Far from being isolated functional units, receptors co-operate. The total receptor apparatus of individual cell types is composed of different-ligand receptors (e.g. SRIF and non-SRIF receptors) and co-expressed receptor subtypes (e.g. sst(2) and sst(5) receptors) in characteristic proportions. In other words, levels of individual receptor subtypes are highly cell-specific and vary with the co-expression of different-ligand receptors. However, the question is how to quantify the relative contributions of individual receptor subtypes to the integration of transduced signals, ultimately the result of collective receptor activity. The generation of knock-out (KO) mice, intended as a means to define the contributions made by individual receptor subtypes, necessarily marks but an approximation. Furthermore, we must now take into account the stunning complexity of receptor co-operation indicated by the observation of receptor homo- and heterodimerisation, let alone oligomerisation. Theoretically, this phenomenon adds a novel series of functional megareceptors/super-receptors, with varied pharmacological profiles, to the catalogue of monomeric receptor subtypes isolated and cloned in the past. SRIF analogues include both peptides and non-peptides, receptor agonists and antagonists. Relatively long half lives, as compared to those of the endogenous ligands, have been paramount from the outset. Motivated by theoretical puzzles or the shortcomings of present-day diagnostics and therapy, investigators have also aimed to produce subtype-selective analogues. Several have become available.

Abstract
Activation of G(i)/G(o)-coupled opioid receptors increases [Ca2+]i (intracellular free-Ca2+ concentration), but only if there is concomitant G(q)-coupled receptor activation. This G(i)/G(o)-coupled receptor-mediated [Ca2+]i increase does not appear to result from further production of Ins P3 [Ins(1,4,5) P3] in SH-SY5Y cells. In the present study, fast-scanning confocal microscopy revealed that activation of mu-opioid receptors alone by 1 muM DAMGO ([L-Ala, NMe-Phe, Gly-ol]-enkephalin) did not stimulate the Ins P3-dependent elementary Ca2+-signalling events (Ca2+ puffs), whereas DAMGO did evoke Ca2+ puffs when applied during concomitant activation of M3 muscarinic receptors with 1 muM carbachol. We next determined whether mu-opioid receptor activation might increase [Ca2+]i by sensitizing the Ins P3 receptor to Ins P3. DAMGO did not potentiate the amplitude of the [Ca2+]i increase evoked by flash photolysis of the caged Ins P3 receptor agonist, caged 2,3-isopropylidene-Ins P3, whereas the Ins P3 receptor sensitizing agent, thimerosal (10 muM), did potentiate this response. DAMGO also did not prolong the rate of decay of the increase in [Ca2+]i evoked by flash photolysis of caged 2,3-isopropylidene-Ins P3. Furthermore, DAMGO did not increase [Ca2+]i in the presence of the cell-membrane-permeable Ins P3 receptor agonist, Ins P3 hexakis(butyryloxymethyl) ester. Therefore it appears that mu-opioid receptors do not increase [Ca2+]i through either Ins P3 receptor sensitization, enhancing the releasable pool of Ca2+ or inhibition of Ca2+ removal from the cytoplasm.

Abstract
Alteration in [Ca(2+)](i) (the intracellular concentration of Ca(2+)) is a key regulator of many cellular processes. To allow precise regulation of [Ca(2+)](i) and a diversity of signalling by this ion, cells possess many mechanisms by which they are able to control [Ca(2+)](i) both globally and at the subcellular level. Among these are many members of the superfamily of GPCRs (G-protein-coupled receptors), which are characterized by the presence of seven transmembrane domains. Typically, those receptors able to activate PLC (phospholipase C) enzymes cause release of Ca(2+) from intracellular stores and influence Ca(2+) entry across the plasma membrane. It has been well documented that Ca(2+) signalling by one type of GPCR can be influenced by stimulation of a different type of GPCR. Indeed, many studies have demonstrated heterologous desensitization between two different PLC-coupled GPCRs. This is not surprising, given our current understanding of negative-feedback regulation and the likely shared components of the signalling pathway. However, there are also many documented examples of interactions between GPCRs, often coupling preferentially to different signalling pathways, which result in a potentiation of Ca(2+) signalling. Such interactions have important implications for both the control of cell function and the interpretation of in vitro cell-based assays. However, there is currently no single mechanism that adequately accounts for all examples of this type of cross-talk. Indeed, many studies either have not addressed this issue or have been unable to determine the mechanism(s) involved. This review seeks to explore a range of possible mechanisms to convey their potential diversity and to provide a basis for further experimental investigation.

Abstract
(1) Here, we introduce a beta-casomorphin-5-derived cyclic pentapeptide, cCD-2 (Tyr-cyclo[d-Orn-Tyr(Bzl)-Pro-Gly]), which inhibits the cell growth of a variety of human cancer cell lines. (2) This opioid-derived peptide possesses only low affinity for mu-receptors, but enhances the agonist binding to mu-receptors in vitro and potentiates the analgesic effect of morphin in vivo. The molecular mechanism of mu-receptor sensitization by cCD-2 is not yet known. (3) The antiproliferative effect of cCD-2 is independent of mu-, delta-, and kappa-receptors. (4) Using SH-SY5Y cells as model, we can demonstrate that cCD-2 specifically binds to somatostatin receptors and stimulates the activity of protein tyrosine phosphatases, which are early downstream targets of SST receptors. (5) In SH-SY5Y cells, cCD-2 specifically increases the activity of the cytosolic PTP SHP-2, stimulates the activity of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and elevates the expression of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21 (WAF1/Cip1), suggesting the involvement of SSTR1 receptor subtype in cCD-2 action in this cell type. (6) In COS-7 cells, for comparison, we found a stimulation of SHP-2 as well as SHP-1 in response to cCD-2. The activation of SHP-1, which is attributed to the SSTR2 receptor and negatively regulates the EGF receptor, corresponds with the ability of cCD-2 to inhibit the EGF-induced MAPK activation in COS-7 cells. (7) Our results show that in SH-SY5Y cells cCD-2 inhibits cell growth via the SSTR1 receptor-signalling pathway but may, in other cells, also use other SSTR subtypes and their signalling mechanisms. (8) cCD-2 represents a novel type of opioid-derived antiproliferative SST receptor agonist, which possesses low mu-receptor affinity but may induce mu-receptor sensitization and is structurally different from the hitherto known SST receptor agonists.

Abstract
Somatostatin receptors are members of the G-protein-coupled receptor superfamily and exert their principal effects by coupling to inhibitory G-proteins. We used fura-2-based digital calcium imaging and assayed for [3H]inositol phosphates (IPs) to study the effects of somatostatin on intracellular calcium signaling in neuroblastomaxglioma NG108-15 cells. Both somatostatin-14 and octreotide induced concentration-dependent increases in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)). Thirty-four percent of the cells responded to treatment with 100 nM somatostatin-14. Somatostatin-induced responses were not blocked by the removal of extracellular calcium; instead, they were abolished by pretreatment with 100 nM thapsigargin, an agent that depletes and prevents refilling of intracellular Ca(2+) stores. Pretreatment with the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)) receptor antagonist xestospongin C (10 microM) for 20 min inhibited markedly the somatostatin-induced response. Somatostatin (100 nM) increased [3H]IPs formation. U73122 (1 microM), an inhibitor of phospholipase C (PLC), completely blocked the somatostatin-induced [Ca(2+)](i) increases and the formation of [3H]IPs. Pretreatment with pertussis toxin (PTX, 200 ng/ml) for 24 h blocked the somatostatin-induced responses. Thus, we conclude that activation of endogenous somatostatin receptors in NG108-15 cells induces the release of calcium from IP(3)-sensitive intracellular stores through PTX-sensitive G-protein-coupled PLC.

Abstract
Modulation of glutamatergic transmission by neuropeptides is an essential aspect of neuronal network activity. Activation of the hypothalamic somatostatin sst2 receptor subtype by octreotide decreases AMPA glutamate responses, indicating a central link between a neurohormonal and neuromodulatory peptide and the main hypothalamic fast excitatory neurotransmitter. In mediobasal hypothalamic slices, sst2 activation inhibits the AMPA component of glutamatergic synaptic responses but is ineffective when AMPA currents are pharmacologically isolated. In mediobasal hypothalamic cultures, the decrease of AMPA currents induced by octreotide requires a concomitant activation of sst2 receptors with either NMDA and/or metabotropic glutamate receptors. This modulation depends on changes in intracellular calcium concentration induced by calcium flux through NMDA receptors or calcium release from intracellular stores following metabotropic glutamate receptor activation. These results highlight an unusual regulatory mechanism in which the simultaneous activation of at least three different types of receptor is necessary to allow somatostatin-induced modulation of fast synaptic glutamatergic transmission in the hypothalamus.

Abstract
The effects of somatostatin (SRIF) are mediated through the seven transmembrane receptor family that signals via Gi/Go. To date, five distinct SRIF receptors have been characterized and designated SSTR1-5. We have characterized the SRIF receptor that mediates the increase in [Ca(2+)](i) and insulin secretion in HIT-T15 cells (Simian virus 40-transformed Syrian hamster islets) using high affinity, subtype selective agonists for SSTR1 (L-797,591), SSTR2 (L-779,976), SSTR3 (L-796,778), SSTR4 (L-803,087), SSTR5 (L-817,818) and PRL-2903, a specific SSTR2 antagonist. In the presence of arginine vasopressin (AVP), SRIF increased [Ca(2+)](i) and insulin secretion. Treatment with the SSTR2 agonist L-779,976 resulted in similar responses to SRIF. In addition, L-779,976 increased both [Ca(2+)](i) and insulin secretion in a dose-dependent manner. Treatment with L-779,976 alone did not alter [Ca(2+)](i) or basal insulin secretion. In the presence of AVP, all other SRIF receptor agonists failed to increase [Ca(2+)](i) and insulin secretion. The effects of SRIF and L-779,976 were abolished by the SSTR2 antagonist PRL-2903. Our results suggest that the mechanism underlying SRIF-induced insulin secretion in HIT-T15 cells be mediated through the SSTR2.

Abstract
Somatostatin, a hormone that signals via G(i)/G(o), usually inhibits increases in intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) and insulin release from beta-cells. We have found that in the presence of arginine vasopressin (AVP), which signals via G(q), somatostatin increased [Ca(2+)](i), leading to insulin release in HIT-T15 cells. The increase in [Ca(2+)](i) by somatostatin was observed even after 60 min of AVP treatment. Somatostatin alone failed to increase [Ca(2+)](i) and insulin release. Somatostatin induced changes in [Ca(2+)](i) in a biphasic pattern, characterized by a sharp and transient increase followed by a rapid decline to sub-basal levels. Pretreatment with pertussis toxin, which inactivates G(i)/G(o), abolished the effects of somatostatin. U-73122, an inhibitor of phospholipase C, antagonized the somatostatin-induced increase in [Ca(2+)](i). In Ca(2+)-free medium, somatostatin still increased [Ca(2+)](i). Depletion of intracellular Ca(2+) stores with thapsigargin, a microsomal Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitor, abolished somatostatin's effect. In the presence of bradykinin, another G(q)-coupled receptor agonist, somatostatin also increased [Ca(2+)](i), but not in the presence of isoproterenol (a G(s)-coupled receptor agonist) or medetomidine (a G(i)/G(o)-coupled receptor agonist). Our findings suggest that somatostatin signals through G(i)/G(o), and involves phospholipase C and Ca(2+) release from the endoplasmic reticulum. The increase in [Ca(2+)](i) by somatostatin leads to insulin release. This cross-talk is specific to G(q) and G(i)/G(o), and is not limited to the AVP and somatostatin receptors.

Abstract
1. Human embryonic kidney (HEK)-293 cells expressing recombinant G alpha(i)-coupled, human CXC chemokine receptor 2 (CXCR2) were used to study the elevation of the intracellular [Ca(2+)] ([Ca(2+)](i)) in response to interleukin-8 (IL-8) following pre-stimulation of endogenously expressed P2Y1 or P2Y2 nucleotide receptors. 2. Pre-stimulation of cells with adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) revealed a substantial Ca(2+) signalling component mediated by IL-8 (E(max)=83 +/- 8% of maximal ATP response, pEC(50) of IL-8 response=9.7 +/- 0.1). 3. 1 microM 2-methylthioadenosine 5'-diphosphate (2MeSADP; P2Y1 selective) and 100 microM uridine 5'-triphosphate (UTP; P2Y2 selective) stimulated equivalent maximal increases in [Ca(2+)](i) elevation. However, UTP caused a sustained elevation, whilst following 2MeSADP [Ca(2+)](i) rapidly returned to basal levels. 4. Both UTP and 2MeSADP increased the potency and magnitude of IL-8-mediated [Ca(2+)](i) elevation but the effects of UTP (E(max) of IL-8 response increased to 50 +/- 1% of the maximal response to ATP, pEC(50) increased to 9.8 +/- 0.1) were greater than those of 2MeSADP (E(max) increased to 36 +/- 2%, pEC(50) increased to 8.7 +/- 0.2). 5. 5. The potentiation of IL-8-mediated Ca(2+) signalling by UTP was not dependent upon the time of IL-8 addition following UTP but was dependent on the continued presence of UTP. Potentiated IL-8 Ca(2+) signalling was apparent in the absence of extracellular Ca(2+), demonstrating the release of Ca(2+) from intracellular stores. 6. Activation of P2Y1 and P2Y2 receptors also revealed Ca(2+) signalling by an endogenously expressed, G alpha(s)-coupled beta-adrenoceptor. 7. In conclusion, pre-stimulation of P2Y nucleotide receptors, particularly P2Y2, facilitates Ca(2+) signalling by either recombinant CXCR2 or endogenous beta-adrenoceptors.

Abstract
Cloned rat, human and guinea-pig Y4 pancreatic polypeptide (PP) receptors expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, as well as the rabbit Y4-like PP receptor, show a selective sensitivity to Na+ over K+ ion in PP attachment, but little sensitivity to Na+ in dissociation of bound PP peptides. Agonist binding to Y4 receptors of intact CHO cells also shows much greater sensitivity to Na+ over K+, and a tenacious attachment of the bound agonist. Binding sensitivity to K+ is greatly enhanced upon receptor solubilization. Pancreatic polypeptide sites also show large sensitivity to modulators of Na+ transport such as N5-substituted amilorides and to RFamides, as different from Y1 or Y2 receptors. Thus, PP binding is modulated by cation-induced changes in site environment (with selectivity for Na+) and ultimately results in a blocking attachment. This would support receptor operation in the presence of ion gradients, as well as prolonged agonist-delimited signaling activity (which can include partial antagonism). Also, this could point to an evolutionary adaptation enabling small numbers of PP receptors to perform extensive metabolic tasks in response to low agonist signals.

Abstract
It has been suggested that neuropeptide Y (NPY) and sigma (sigma) receptor ligands may share a putative NPY/sigma receptor in rat brain. To study whether NPY and sigma receptor ligands have an inverse agonism at this putative NPY/sigma receptor, we measured their effects on G-protein activity in rat brain. Using [35S]GTPgammaS autoradiography, we found that NPY-induced G-protein activation exhibited a discrete distribution pattern in rat brain. G-protein activation in superficial cortical layers and hippocampal CA1-3 region was mainly attributed to Y1 and Y2 receptors, respectively. In the presence of 10 microM sigma-receptor agonist BD737 or 10 microM sigma-receptor antagonist haloperidol, the distribution and density of [35S]GTPgammaS binding stimulated by 10 nM NPY was not significantly altered. In rat cerebellar membranes, NPY stimulated high-affinity GTPase activity in a dose-related manner, with maximal effects of 29% increase over basal level seen at 500 nM. This NPY-elicited GTPase activity was not significantly affected by micromolar concentrations of the sigma-receptor antagonists Dup734 or haloperidol. Since no significant effects by sigma-receptor ligands on NPY-induced G-protein activation were observed, we did not see an inverse agonism of NPY and sigma-receptor ligands at the putative NPY/sigma receptor measured at the level of G-protein activation, suggesting that sigma receptors and NPY receptors do not represent a common population in rat hippocampus and cerebellum. It is also suggested that G-protein activation is not a convergent point for the signal transduction mechanisms of NPY receptors and sigma receptors.

Abstract
There is increasing evidence that hematopoietic stem cell mobilization and homing is regulated not only by adhesion molecules and cytokines, but also by chemotactic factors that support transendothelial migration across the bone marrow sinusoidal endothelium. Many receptors for chemotactic mediators belong to the family of G protein-coupled seven-transmembrane receptors (7-TMR). Signaling via G proteins, particularly Gi proteins, results in a chemotactic response of the cells towards a gradient of the corresponding ligand. Recent studies have provided evidence for expression of several 7-TMR on immature hematopoietic progenitor cells, which potentially mediate chemotactic effects: chemokine receptors (e.g., CXCR4, receptor for stromal cell-derived factor-1), receptors for lipid mediators (e.g., the cysteinyl leukotriene receptor cysLT1 and the peripheral cannabinoid receptor cb2), and receptors for neuroendocrine hormones (e.g., the somatostatin receptor sst2). From these studies it can be concluded that migration of hematopoietic progenitor and stem cells is controlled by a variety of chemotactic factors rather than by a single chemokine (e.g., SDF-1). Trafficking of immature hematopoietic cells may require combined and interactive regulatory functions of these mediators.

Abstract
In mammals, the ability of somatostatin (SS) to block growth hormone (GH) secretion is due, in part, to the inhibition of two key intracellular mediators, cAMP and Ca2+. We examined whether or not inhibition of Ca2+ signaling was mediating SS-induced inhibition basal, as well as gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH; a protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent growth hormone secretagogue)-stimulated growth hormone (GH) release. Although SS reduced basal GH release from populations of pituitary cells, parallel reductions in [Ca2+]i were not observed within single, identified somatotropes. Similarly, application of GnRH and the PKC activator DiC8 elicited increases in [Ca2+]i and GH release, but abolition of the Ca2+ responses did not accompany SS inhibition of the GH responses. Surprisingly, while DiC8 potentiated SS inhibition of GH release, SS paradoxically increased DiC8-stimulated increases in [Ca2+]i. These data establish that abolition of Ca2+ signals is not a primary mechanism through which SS lowers basal, or inhibits GnRH-stimulated hormone release.

Abstract
In SH-SY5Y cells, activation of delta-opioid receptors with [D-Pen(2,5)]-enkephalin (DPDPE; 1 microM) did not alter the intracellular free Ca(2+) concentration [Ca(2+)](i). However, when DPDPE was applied during concomitant Gq-coupled m3 muscarinic receptor stimulation by carbachol or oxotremorine-M, it produced an elevation of [Ca(2+)](i). The DPDPE-evoked increase in [Ca(2+)](i) was abolished when the carbachol-sensitive intracellular Ca(2+) store was emptied. There was a marked difference between the concentration-response relationship for the elevation of [Ca(2+)](i) by carbachol (EC(50) 13 microM, Hill slope 1) and the concentration-response relationship for carbachol's permissive action in revealing the delta-opioid receptor-mediated elevation of [Ca(2+)] (EC(50) 0.7 mM; Hill slope 1.8). Sequestration of free G protein beta gamma dimers by transient transfection of cells with a beta gamma binding protein (residues 495-689 of the C terminal tail of G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2) reduced the ability of delta opioid receptor activation to elevate [Ca(2+)](i). However, DPDPE did not elevate either basal or oxotremorine-M-evoked inositol phosphate production indicating that delta-opioid receptor activation did not stimulate phospholipase C. Furthermore, delta-opioid receptor activation did not result in the reversal of muscarinic receptor desensitization, membrane hyperpolarization or stimulation of sphingosine kinase. There was no coincident signalling between the delta-opioid receptor and the lysophosphatidic acid receptor which couples to elevation of [Ca(2+)](i) in SH-SY5Y cells by a PLC-independent mechanism. In SH-SY5Y cells the coincident signalling between the endogenously expressed delta-opioid and m3 muscarinic receptors appears to occur in the receptor activation-Ca(2+) release signalling pathway at a step after the activation of phospholipase C.

Abstract
We have assessed the potential of several mu-opioid receptor antagonists to elicit a response in the guinea-pig isolated ileum in the presence of, and following overnight exposure to, morphine. Naloxone, D-Phe-Cys-Tyr-D-Trp-Orn-Thr-Pen-Thr-NH(2) (CTOP), (-)-5, 9alpha-diethyl-2-(3-furyl-methyl)-2'-hydroxy-6,7-benzomorphan (MR2266), but not D-Phe-Cys-Tyr-D-Trp-Arg-Thr-Pen-Thr-NH(2) (CTAP), produced a transient inhibition of electrically-evoked contractions of the guinea-pig ileum. The effect of 1 microM CTOP, but not that to MR2266, was inhibited by 1 microM somatostatin. Naloxone (0.3 microM), CTOP (3 microM), CTAP (3 microM) and MR2266 (0.3 microM) antagonized the inhibitory effect of morphine on electrically-evoked contractions of the guinea-pig to a similar degree and, following 60 min exposure to morphine, produced non-sustained contractions. The response to 3 microM CTOP was significantly smaller than that to 3 microM CTAP. None of the antagonists produced a response in the absence of morphine. Following overnight exposure of the ileum to 0.3 microM morphine (4 degrees C), and repeated washing to remove the agonist, all four antagonists elicited non-sustained contractions. However, the responses to 3 microM CTOP and 0.3 microM MR2266 were significantly smaller than those elicited by 0.3 microM naloxone and 3 microM CTAP. Somatostatin (1 microM) significantly reduced naloxone-induced contractions, but not those to CTAP. While all four mu-opioid antagonists elicited contractions in the presence of, and following prolonged exposure to, morphine, differences between them were noted which may be a consequence of non-opioid actions.

Abstract
Previous studies in our laboratory using rat brain tissue have shown that neuropeptide Y (NPY) can enhance NMDA- and potassium-stimulated dopamine release from various brain regions and that this enhancement is reversed by sigma (sigma) receptor antagonists. In the current study, we sought to determine whether SH-SY5Y cells are suitable for investigating sigma receptor effects and whether any sigma receptors present are of the subtype responsive to NPY. We compare mechanisms by which the prototypical sigma receptor agonist (+)-pentazocine, and the proposed endogenous sigma receptor ligand NPY regulate potassium-stimulated [(3)H]dopamine release from SH-SY5Y cells. Both (+)-pentazocine and NPY inhibit potassium-stimulated [(3)H]dopamine release. Unlike our studies in rat brain tissue, the effect of NPY on [(3)H]dopamine release is not reversed by sigma receptor antagonists. SH-SY5Y cells appear to be an appropriate model to study the regulation of dopamine release by sigma receptors or by NPY receptors, but this population is not identical to that population identified in brain slices.

Abstract
Somatostatin is a peptide with a multitude of functions in the central nervous system and the periphery. It mediates its actions by binding to high-affinity G-protein coupled receptors, genes for five of which (sst1-sst5) have recently been cloned. The somatostatin sst2 receptor exists as two splice variants, sst2(a) and sst2(b) receptors, which differ in length and composition of their intracellular carboxy-termini. In this review, we describe the localisation of the two receptor isoforms in the central nervous system, the periphery and also in tumour tissue. Furthermore, we summarise and discuss the data on the functional properties of the recombinant splice variants that have been generated so far, which include activation of extracellular acidification rates, inhibition of adenylate cyclase and activation of MAP-kinases as well as the transcription factor Elk-1.

Abstract
In the accompanying paper [Khare et al., Am. J. Physiol. 276 (Gastrointest. Liver Physiol. 39): G993-G1004, 1999], activation of protein kinase C-alpha (PKC-alpha) was shown to be involved in the stimulation of phospholipase D (PLD) by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1, 25(OH)2D3] and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) in Caco-2 cells. Monomeric or heterotrimeric G proteins, as well as pp60(c-src) have been implicated in PLD activation. We therefore determined whether these signal transduction elements were involved in PLD stimulation by 1,25(OH)2D3 or TPA. Treatment with C3 transferase, which inhibits members of the Rho family of monomeric G proteins, markedly diminished the ability of 1,25(OH)2D3, but not TPA, to stimulate PLD. Brefeldin A, an inhibitor of ADP-ribosylation factor proteins, did not, however, significantly reduce the stimulation of PLD by either of these agents. Moreover, 1,25(OH)2D3, but not TPA, activated pp60(c-src) and treatment with PP1, a specific inhibitor of the pp60(c-src) family, blocked the ability of 1,25(OH)2D3 to activate PLD. Pretreatment of cells with pertussis toxin (PTx) markedly reduced the stimulation of PLD by either agonist. PTx, moreover, inhibited the stimulation of pp60(c-src) and PKC-alpha by 1,25(OH)2D3. PTx did not, however, block the membrane translocation of RhoA induced by 1,25(OH)2D3 or inhibit the stimulation of PKC-alpha by TPA. These findings, taken together with those of the accompanying paper, indicate that although 1,25(OH)2D3 and TPA each activate PLD in Caco-2 cells in part via PKC-alpha, their stimulation of PLD differs in a number of important aspects, including the requirement for pp60(c-src) and RhoA in the activation of PLD by 1,25(OH)2D3, but not TPA. Moreover, the requirement for different signal transduction elements by 1,25(OH)2D3 and TPA to induce the stimulation of PLD may potentially underlie differences in the physiological effects of these agents in Caco-2 cells.

Abstract
1. In this study we examined the effects of cortistatin, a putative endogenous ligand for somatostatin (SRIF) receptors, on the membrane properties of rat locus coeruleus (LC) neurones in vitro, by use of intracellular and whole cell patch clamp recording. We have compared the actions of cortistatin with those of SRIF and the SRIF analogue D-Phe-Cys-Tyr-D-Trp-Orn-Thr-Pen-Thr-NH2 (CTOP). 2. When LC neurones were voltage clamped to -60 mV, application of cortistatin caused an outward current in all cells examined (n = 44), with a pEC50 of 6.62. SRIF also caused an outward current in all cells examined (n = 43), with a pEC50 of 6.93. 3. The outward currents caused by cortistatin in 2.5 mM extracellular K+ reversed polarity at -106 mV, very close to the predicted K+ reversal potential of -105 mV. Increasing extracellular K+ to 10.5 mM resulted in a shift of the reversal potential of +38 mV, a shift consistent with a K+ conductance. The conductance activated by cortistatin showed mild inward rectification. 4. Continuous application of a high concentration of SRIF (1 microM) resulted in a decrease of the outward current to a steady level of 49% of the maximum response, with a t1/2 of 131 s. Application of a high concentration of cortistatin (3 microM) during the desensitized portion of the SRIF response did not result in any further outward current. Continuous application of a high concentration of cortistatin (10 microM) resulted in a decrease of the outward current to a steady level of 42% of the maximum response with a t1/2 of 114 s. Application of a high concentration of SRIF (3 microM) during the desensitized portion of the cortistatin response produced only a small outward current. 5. Continuous application of cortistatin (3 microM) also resulted in a decrease of the outward current (by 43%, t1/2 of 136 s) and application of a high concentration of CTOP (10 microM) during the desensitized portion of the cortistatin response did not produce any outward current. Continuous application of a high concentration of CTOP (10 microM) resulted in a decrease of the outward current to a steady level of 70% of the maximum response with a t1/2 of 143 s. Application of a high concentration of cortistatin (3 microM) during the desensitized portion of the CTOP response did not result in any further outward current. 6. The actions of cortistatin (300 nM-10 microM) were not affected by the opioid antagonist naloxone (10 microM). Application of met-enkephalin during the desensitized portion of the response to a high concentration of cortistatin (3 microM) produced an outward current similar to that produced by metenkephalin application alone. 7. Thus cortistatin efficaciously activates an inwardly rectifying K+ conductance in LC neurones. These actions appear to be mediated by a population of SRIF receptors, at which CTOP is also an agonist. Cortistatin does not appear to be a ligand for mu-opioid receptors in rat LC neurons.
