Somatostatin inhibition of VIP- and isoproterenol-stimulated cyclic AMP production in rat peritoneal macrophages.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The dual regulation of cyclic AMP levels in rat peritoneal macrophages incubated with somatostatin, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), and isoproterenol was studied. Somatostatin exerted a non-competitive inhibition of the stimulatory effect of VIP and isoproterenol on cyclic AMP production. In addition, somatostatin inhibited basal cyclic AMP levels. Our results suggest that somatostatin and VIP may modulate the immune response acting, through cyclic AMP, on macrophage functions.

Stimulatory effect of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) on cyclic AMP production in rat peritoneal macrophages.
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) stimulated cyclic AMP production in rat peritoneal macrophages. The stimulatory effect of VIP was dependent on time, temperature and cell concentration, and was potentiated by the phosphodiesterase inhibitor 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX). At 15 degrees C, the response occurred in the 0.1-1000 nM range of VIP concentrations. Half maximal stimulation of ce...
متن کاملVasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) inhibits substrate adherence capacity of rat peritoneal macrophages by a mechanism that involves cAMP.
In this study, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is shown to inhibit substrate adherence capacity of rat peritoneal macrophages. The inhibitory response occurred in the 0.1-1,000 nM range of VIP concentrations and it was a time-dependent process. At 15 min, half maximal inhibition (IC50) was obtained at 0.37 +/- 0.26 nM and maximal inhibition (53.8%) at 10(-6) M VIP. The inhibitory effect of ...
متن کاملCharacterization of functional receptors for vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) in rat peritoneal macrophages.
Functional vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) receptors have been characterized in rat peritoneal macrophages. The binding depended on time, temperature and pH, and was reversible, saturable and specific. Scatchard analysis of binding data suggested the presence of two classes of binding sites: a class with high affinity (kd = 1.1 +/- 0.1 nM) and low capacity (11.1 +/- 1.5 fmol/10(6) cells), a...
متن کاملExpression of VIP receptors in mouse peritoneal macrophages: functional and molecular characterization.
Receptors for VIP in mouse peritoneal macrophages (MPM) were examined using [125I]labeled VIP as ligand. The receptor binding was rapid, reversible, saturable, specific, and dependent on time, pH, temperature and cell concentration. At 15 degrees C, the stoichiometric data suggested the presence of two classes of VIP receptors with Kd values of 1.05 +/- 0.2 and 66.4 +/- 11.0 nM and binding capa...
متن کاملPertussis toxin blocks both cyclic AMP-mediated and cyclic AMP-independent actions of somatostatin. Evidence for coupling of Ni to decreases in intracellular free calcium.
The neuropeptide somatostatin inhibits hormone release from GH4C1 pituitary cells via two mechanisms: inhibition of stimulated adenylate cyclase and a cAMP-independent process. To determine whether both mechanisms involve the guanyl nucleotide-binding protein Ni, we used pertussis toxin, which ADP-ribosylates Ni and thereby blocks its function. Pertussis toxin treatment of GH4C1 cells blocked s...
