  • Title: The epithelial phenotype of human neuroblastoma cells express bradykinin, endothelin, and angiotensin II receptors that stimulate phosphoinositide hydrolysis.

    Abstract:
    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.
