Activation of inositol phospholipid signaling and Ca2+ efflux in human breast cancer cells by bombesin.

چکیده
Members of the bombesin-related family of peptides (BRPs) are mitogenic for a variety of cell types; however, a role for these peptides has not been previously described in human breast cancer. Early membrane receptor signal transduction mechanisms associated with bombesin action include phospholipase C-mediated inositol phospholipid hydrolysis and the elevation of cytosolic Ca2+ levels. We have investigated a potential role for BRPs in breast cancer by studying their effect on phospholipid hydrolysis, 45Ca2+ efflux, and cell growth in the human breast cancer cell line MCF-7. Bombesin stimulated a dose-dependent increase in the hydrolysis product inositol monophosphate during 1 h with a half-maximal effect around 1 nM. A transient increase in inositol trisphosphate in response to bombesin was also apparent at 2 min. Two distinct bombesin receptor antagonists inhibited this bombesin-induced phospholipid hydrolysis. Both bombesin- and gastrin-releasing peptide also stimulated a dose-related increase in inositol phosphate production in T47D cells, a different human breast cancer cell line. The efflux of 45Ca2+ from prelabeled MCF-7 cells was also stimulated by bombesin. This apparent cellular Ca2+ mobilization was partly dependent on extracellular Ca2+ and was inhibited by Ni2+. Despite this activation of putative mitogenic signaling pathways, bombesin had no effect on either proliferation or DNA synthesis in MCF-7 cells. These data implicate a functional role for BRPs in human breast cancer.

Highly purified platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) or recombinant PDGF stimulate DNA synthesis in quiescent Swiss 3T3 cells. The dose-response curves for the natural and recombinant factors were similar, with half-maximal responses at 2-3 ng/ml and maximal responses at approx. 10 ng/ml. Over this dose range, both natural and recombinant PDGF stimulated a pronounced accumulation of [3H]inosit...
متن کاملBombesin-evoked gastrin release and calcium signaling in human antral G cells in culture.
Amplification of mRNA from a human antral cell culture preparation demonstrated the presence of two receptors of the bombesin and gastrin-releasing peptide family, GRPR-1 and BRS-3. Single cell microfluorometry demonstrated that most cells that exhibited bombesin-evoked changes in intracellular Ca2+ concentration were gastrin immunoreactive, indicating that antral G cells express the GRPR subty...

In [3H]inositol-labeled membranes prepared from Swiss mouse 3T3 and human small cell lung carcinoma cells, [Tyr4]-bombesin stimulated production of water-soluble inositol phosphates. The reaction was stimulated by guanosine 5'-O-[3-thiotriphosphate] and was specifically inhibited by both [Leu13-psi-CH2NHLeu14]-bombesin and the antibombesin antibody 2A11. [Tyr4]-bombesin-induced activation of ph...

Hexadecylphosphocholine (HePC) inhibits protein kinase C (PKC) from NIH3T3 cells in cell-free extracts with a 50% inhibitory concentration of about 7 microM. Inhibition is competitive with regard to phosphatidylserine with a Ki of 0.59 microM. In order to determine whether HePC affects PKC in intact cells, the bombesin or tetradecanoylphorbolacetate-induced, PKC-mediated activation of the Na+/H...
متن کاملCelecoxib Up Regulates the Expression of Drug Efflux Transporter ABCG2 in Breast Cancer Cell Lines
Elevated expression of the drug efflux transporter ABCG2 seems to correlate with multidrug resistance of cancer cells. Specific COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib has been shown to enhance the sensitivity of cancer cells to anticancer drugs. To clarify whether ABCG2 inhibition is involved in the sensitizing effect of celecoxib, we investigated whether the expression of ABCG2 in breast cancer cell lines ...
