چکیده

Bombesin-like peptides have been implicated as autocrine growth factors influencing the pathogenesis and progression of some human lung carcinoma cells. To determine the pharmacologic and structural properties of the bombesin receptors expressed in human lung carcinoma cells, cDNA clones encoding a human gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRP-R) and a pharmacologically distinct neuromedin-B preferring bombesin-receptor (NMB-R) were isolated from a human small cell lung carcinoma cell line (NCI-H345). After expression in Xenopus oocytes, a GRP-R-specific antagonist was effective in blocking responses elicited from the cloned GRP-R, but not the NMB-R. Both GRP-R and NMB-R mRNA expression was detected at varying levels in a panel of human lung cancer cell lines. These results indicate heterogeneity of bombesin receptor subtypes exists in human lung carcinoma cells and should be considered in the design of bombesin receptor antagonists intended to inhibit tumor cell growth.

Bombesin Receptor Subtypes in Human Cancers: Detection with the Universal Radioligand I-[D-TYR, -ALA, PHE, NLE] Bombesin(6–14)

Purpose: Bombesin and bombesin receptors have been shown to play a role in cancer. Whereas the gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) receptor is a bombesin receptor subtype frequently expressed by tumors, the other three subtypes, the neuromedin B (NMB), BB3, and BB4 receptors, have been poorly investigated in human tissues. Experimental Design: We investigated 161 human tumors for their bombesin rec...

  Introduction: Bombesin is a 14-aminoacid peptide isolated from frog skin. The mammalian counterparts of the frog peptide are neuromedin B (NMB) and gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP). Bombesin (BBN) is a peptide showing high affinity for the gastrin releasing peptide receptor (GRPr). Prostate, small cell lung cancer, breast, gastric, and colon cancers are known to over...
