By the use of combined in vitro radioreceptor binding and autoradiographic techniques, we analyzed the pharmacological properties and the anatomical localization of the vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) receptor in rat superior mesenteric artery and in medium and small mesenteric artery branches. 125I-VIP was bound by sections of rat superior mesenteric artery in a manner consistent with the labeling of specific VIP receptors, with Kd and Bmax values of 0.23 nM and 0.71 pmol/mg protein respectively. Inhibition of 125I-VIP binding with VIP and related peptides gives the following rank order of potency: VIP greater than peptide histidine methionine greater than secretin. Light microscope autoradiography reveals specific VIP binding sites within the medial layer of superior mesenteric artery and its branches. Medium and small sized vessels are richer in 125I-VIP binding sites than the larger ones. 相似文献

The properties of the specific receptors for vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) in rat liver plasma membranes have been studied by using 125I-VIP as a tracer. The binding of the peptide was a reversible, saturable and specific process, as well as time and temperature dependent. Peptide inactivation was also dependent on time and temperature and remained relatively low in the standard conditions used, as it happened in the inactivation of the binding sites. The binding data were compatible with the existence of two classes of VIP receptors: a high affinity (Kd = 4.2 x 10(-10) M) and low binding capacity (1.5 pmol VIP/mg protein) class and another one of low affinity (Kd = 1.7 x 10(-7) M) and high binding capacity (38.6 pmol VIP/mg protein). The specificity of the binding sites of VIP was established from the fact that binding of 125I-VIP was inhibited by native VIP and by 60-fold higher concentrations of secretin but not by the parent hormone glucagon, by insulin or somatostatin at concentrations as high as 10(-6) M. 相似文献

Using mono[125I]iodinated vasoactive intestinal peptide (125I-VIP), a very high number of specific binding sites for VIP were identified at the surface of the human melanoma cell line IGR39. The Scatchard analysis of competitive displacement experiments between native VIP and 125I-VIP was consistent with the existence of two classes of VIP-binding sites. IGR39 cells possess 0.54 x 10(6) high-affinity sites with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 0.66 nM and 1.3 x 10(6) sites of moderate affinity with a Kd of 4.7 nM. Pharmacological studies indicated that the order of potency in inhibiting 125I-VIP binding of the VIP/secretin family peptides was VIP much greater than peptide histidine methioninamide greater than human growth-hormone-releasing factor(1-44) greater than secretin. Glucagon has no effect on the binding of the labelled peptide. By means of photoaffinity labelling a polypeptide of Mr 63,000 was characterized. The labelling of this species was completely abolished by native VIP. The order of potency of VIP-related peptides in inhibiting 125I-VIP cross-linking to its receptor was the same as in the competition experiments. The glycoprotein nature of the VIP-binding sites of IGR39 cells has been investigated by affinity chromatography on wheat-germ-agglutinin-Sepharose. 相似文献

Multiplicity of receptors for vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP): differential effects of apamin on binding in brain, uterus and liver 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Apamin is a neurotoxic octadecapeptide from bee venom, which has been shown to inhibit the non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic inhibitory innervation of the smooth muscle of the gut. Since vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) has been proposed as a possible inhibitory neurotransmitter, the effect of apamin on the receptor binding of 125I-VIP was studied using the following assays: (1) isolated synaptosomes from rat cerebral cortex, (2) crude plasma membranes from hog uterine smooth muscle, and (3) purified plasma membranes and isolated hepatocytes from hog liver. Apamin inhibited the receptor-bound 125I-VIP on membranes from brain or myometrium, although the binding affinity was 100-1000 times lower than for VIP. The displacement curves for VIP and apamin were parallel suggesting that apamin interacts with both the low and high affinity VIP receptors. In membranes and cells from liver, apamin was unable to displace receptor-bound 125I-VIP in concentrations up to 50 mumol/l. The findings suggest that the VIP receptors in liver are different from those in the brain cortex and myometrium. 相似文献

Receptors for vasoactive intestinal peptide and secretin on guinea pig pancreatic acini 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We investigated the abilities of VIP and secretin to occupy receptors and to increase cellular cyclic AMP using dispersed acini from guinea pig pancreas. The dose-inhibition curve for inhibition of binding of 125I-VIP by VIP was broad with detectable inhibition at 0.1 nM VIP, half-maximal inhibition at 2 nM VIP and complete inhibition at 10 microM VIP. Secretin also inhibited binding of 125I-VIP was compatible with two VIP-preferring receptors with one class having a high affinity for VIP (Kd 1.1 nM) and a low affinity for secretin (Kd 5 microM) and the other class having an intermediate affinity for VIP (Kd 470 nM). The dose inhibition curve for inhibition of binding of 125I-secretin by secretin was not broad. Half-maximal inhibition occurred with 7 nM secretin or with 10 microM VIP. Computer analysis was compatible with a single secretin-preferring receptor with a high affinity for secretin (Kd 7 nM) and a low affinity for VIP (Kd 5.9 microM). Comparison of the ability of VIP to increase cyclic AMP with or without the secretin-receptor antagonist, secretin-5-27, demonstrated only occupation of the high affinity VIP-preferring or high affinity secretin-preferring receptors increase cyclic AMP. Our results demonstrate that, in contrast to previous reports, guinea pig pancreatic acini possess 3 classes of receptors that interact with VIP and secretin. The low affinity receptor seen with 125I-VIP is not the same as the secretin-preferring receptor and does not increase cellular cyclic AMP. 相似文献

The cleavable cross-linking reagent dithiobis (succinimidyl propionate) or DTSP was shown to link 125I-labeled vasoactive intestinal peptide (125I-VIP) covalently to its receptors in rat intestinal epithelial membranes. DTSP treatment of 125I-VIP-labeled membranes inhibited the dissociation of VIP-receptor complexes in a way which was dependent on both time and concentration (ED50 = 200 microM). Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of membrane proteins revealed three 125I-VIP-protein complexes of Mr 76 000, 36 000 and 17 000. The labeling of those compounds was not observed when: (a) treatment of membranes by DTSP was omitted; (b) the reagent quench, ammonium acetate, was added together with DTSP; (c) DTSP-treated membranes were incubated with 2-mercaptoethanol which reduces the disulfide bond present within DTSP. Labeling of Mr-76 000 and Mr-36 000 complexes was specific in that it could be abolished by native VIP, while the labeling of the Mr-17 000 was not. Densitometric scanning of autoradiographs indicated that: (a) labeling of the Mr-76 000 complex was abolished by low VIP concentrations (0.03--10 nM), by VIP agonists with the relative potency VIP greater than a peptide having N-terminal histidine and C-terminal isoleucine amide greater than secretin, and by GTP (10(-5)--1 mM) but was unaffected by various other peptide hormones; (b) labeling of the Mr-36 000 complex was inhibited by high VIP concentrations (1--300 nM), by VIP agonists at high concentrations but was not affected by GTP and various peptide hormones. Assuming one molecule of 125I-VIP was bound per molecule of protein, two proteins with Mr-73 000 and 33 000 were identified as VIP binding sites. The Mr-73 000 protein displays many characteristics (affinity, specificity, discriminating power toward agonists, sensitivity to GTP regulation) of the high-affinity VIP receptors mediating adenylate cyclase activation. The Mr-33 000 protein displays the characteristics (affinity, specificity) of a low-affinity VIP binding site. This study thus shows the molecular characteristics of the VIP receptor and further argues for the molecular heterogeneity of VIP binding sites. 相似文献

Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) receptors were solubilized from porcine liver membranes using CHAPS. The binding of 125I-VIP to solubilized receptors was reversible, saturable and specific. Scatchard analysis indicated the presence of one binding site with a Kd of 6.5 +/- 0.3 nM and a Bmax of 1.20 +/- 0.15 pmol/mg protein. Solubilized and membrane-bound receptors displayed the same pharmacological profile since VIP and VIP-related peptides inhibited 125I-VIP binding to both receptor preparations with the same rank order of potency e.g. VIP greater than helodermin greater than rat GRF greater than rat PHI greater than secretin greater than human GRF. GTP inhibited 125I-VIP binding to membrane-bound receptors but not to solubilized receptors supporting functional uncoupling of VIP receptor and G protein during solubilization. Affinity labeling of solubilized and membrane-bound VIP receptors with 125I-VIP revealed the presence of a single molecular component with Mr 55,000 in both cases. It is concluded that VIP receptors from porcine liver can be solubilized with a good yield, in a GTP-insentive, G protein-free form. This represents a major advance towards the purification of VIP receptors. 相似文献

VIP was labeled with sodium 125iodide, and 125I-VIP was purified by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography. Optimal separations of 125I-VIP and unlabeled VIP were obtained using two C18-Novapak columns in series and a gradient of acetonitrile in triethylamine phosphate for elution. The specific activity of the 125I-VIP was 1.99±0.21 Ci/μmole, approaching the maximum specific activity of monoiodinated VIP (2.26 Ci/μmole). Radioimmunoassay and radioreceptorassay for VIP were more sensitive (2.6-fold, and 2.5-fold, respectively) using 125I-VIP purified by HPLC compared to 125I-VIP obtained from an open-end cellulose column. These results demonstrate the advantage of preparing purified 125I-VIP by HPLC for the accurate assay of VIP and VIP-receptors in tissues and biological fluids. 相似文献

Characterization of receptors for vasoactive intestinal peptide solubilized from the lung 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The zwitterionic detergent CHAPS was used to solubilize functional receptors for vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) from guinea pig lung. The solubilized receptors were resolved by high performance gel filtration in 3 mM CHAPS into two active fractions with apparent Stokes radii of 5.9 +/- 0.1 and 2.3 +/- 0.1 nm. The binding of 125I-VIP to the two receptor fractions was time-dependent, reversible, and saturable. Trypsin destroyed the binding activity of the receptor fractions, indicating their proteinic nature. Unlabeled VIP competitively displaced the binding of 125I-VIP to the 5.9-nm fraction (IC50 = 240 pM) and the 2.3-nm fraction (IC50 = 1.2 microM). Scatchard analysis indicated a single class of binding sites in each receptor fraction, with Kd values 300 pM and 0.97 microM for the 5.9- and 2.3-nm Stokes radii fractions, respectively. When the high affinity, 5.9-nm Stokes radius fraction was rechromatographed in 9 nM CHAPS, 46% of the binding activity eluted in the low affinity, 2.3-nm Stokes radius fraction, indicating that the latter is a product of dissociation of the high affinity receptor complex. GTP inhibited the binding of 125I-VIP to the high affinity complex but not the low affinity species. Scatchard plots of VIP binding by the high affinity receptors treated with GTP suggested the presence of two distinct binding sites (Kd 4.4 and 153 nM), compared to a single binding site (Kd = 0.3 nM) obtained in untreated receptors. The nonhydrolyzable GTP analog, guanyl-5'-yl-imidodiphosphate, inhibited VIP binding by the high affinity receptor fraction with potency nearly equivalent to that of GTP. These observations suggest that GTP-binding regulatory proteins are functionally coupled to the VIP-binding subunit in the high affinity receptor complex. The peptide specificity characteristics of the two receptor fractions were different. Peptide histidine isoleucine and growth hormone releasing factor, peptides homologous to VIP, were 87.5- and 22.9-fold less potent than VIP in displacing 125I-VIP binding by the high affinity receptor complex, respectively. On the other hand, growth hormone-releasing factor was more potent (22.7-fold) and peptide histidine isoleucine was less potent (31.3-fold) than VIP in displacing the binding by the low affinity species. 相似文献

We demonstrate here that rat lung membrane vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) receptors can be extracted in the active state using digitonin. Sepharose 4B gel filtration chromatography was utilized to demonstrate the formation of specific binding complexes between 125I-VIP and solubilized receptors. A rapid soluble receptor assay was established to separate 125I-VIP-receptor complexes from free 125I-VIP, which entailed differential precipitation of the 125I-VIP-receptor complex with polyethylene glycol and bovine gamma-globulin. Using this assay, several detergents were tested for their suitability to extract active VIP receptors, and most favorable results were obtained with digitonin, as judged by specific binding of 125I-VIP to the solubilized receptors. Time course studies indicated that the binding of 125I-VIP to digitonin extract was more rapid than to rat lung membranes. Scatchard analyses of competitive binding data indicated the presence of two classes of binding sites in the digitonin extract, as in the membrane. The values for the dissociation constants (Kd) were 200 pM for Class I and 8 nM for Class II receptors while the values for binding capacity (Bmax) were 200 and 2300 fmol/mg for Class I and II sites, respectively. Although the binding parameters of the two classes were similar to those in the membrane, the pharmacological properties were different, as evidenced by the inability of rat growth hormone releasing factor, a potent VIP agonist in the membrane, to displace specifically bound 125I-VIP from solubilized receptors. The ability to solubilize active VIP receptors represents an important step toward purification of the functional protein. 相似文献

125I-VIP bound specifically to sites on human, rat, guinea pig, and rabbit lung membranes with a dissociation constant (KD) of 60-200 pM and binding site maxima of 200-800 fmol/mg of protein. The presence of a second lower affinity site was detected but not investigated further. High affinity 125I-VIP binding was reversible and displaced by structurally related peptides with an order of potency: VIP greater than rGRF greater than PHI greater than hGRF greater than secretin = Ac Tyr1 D Phe2 GRF. 125I-VIP has been covalently incorporated into lung membranes using disuccinimidyl suberate. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrilamide gel electrophoresis of labeled human, rat, and rabbit lung membranes revealed major 125I-VIP-receptor complexes of: Mr = 65,000, 56,000, and 64,000 daltons, respectively. Guinea pig lung membranes exhibited two 125I-VIP-receptor complexes of Mr = 66,000 and 60,000 daltons. This labeling pattern probably reflects the presence of differentially glycosylated forms of the same receptor since treatment with neuroaminidase resulted in a single homogeneous band (Mr = 57,000 daltons). Soluble covalently labeled VIP receptors from guinea pig and human lung bound to and were specifically eluted from agarose-linked wheat germ agglutinin columns. Our studies indicate that mammalian lung VIP receptors are glycoproteins containing terminal sialic acid residues. 相似文献

Demonstration of a functional receptor for vasoactive intestinal polypeptide on Molt 4b T lymphoblasts 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Viable human T lymphoblasts derived from the "Molt 4b" cell line have been shown to possess functional plasma membrane receptors for vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP). Specific binding of 125I-VIP to these lymphoblasts is rapid, reversible and linearly dependent on the number of cells present. Analysis of binding at 17 degrees C reveals a single class of high affinity binding sites over the concentration range of 10(-7) to 10(-11) M VIP (KD = 7.3 +/- 1.3 nM). The Bmax of 0.24 +/- 0.07 nM extrapolates to 15 000 +/- 4000 sites/cell. The binding of 125I-VIP to T lymphoblasts is highly specific; secretin and glucagon, peptides of similar molecular weight which show sequence homology with VIP, are unable to competitively inhibit binding of 125I-VIP to Molt 4b lymphoblasts. VIP activates adenylate cyclase in membrane preparations from Molt 4b lymphoblasts and increases cAMP in intact cells. Half maximal activation in both membrane preparations and intact cells occurs at 5 nM VIP. This demonstration of a functional receptor for VIP suggests that the Molt 4b lymphoblastic cell line may be a useful model system in which to study neuropeptide modulation of T lymphocyte function. 相似文献

Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) receptors were solubilized from rat liver using the zwitterionic detergent CHAPS. Optimal conditions of solubilization were obtained with 5 mM CHAPS and 2.5 mg protein/ml. The binding of 125I-VIP to CHAPS extracts was time- and pH-dependent, saturable and reversible. The following order of potency of unlabeled VIP-related peptides for inhibiting 125I-VIP binding was observed: VIP greater than helodermin greater than peptide histidine isoleucine amide (PHI) greater than rat growth hormone releasing factor (rGRF) greater than secretin. This peptide specificity is identical to that of rat liver membrane-bound receptors. VIP binding activity in the CHAPS extract was destroyed by trypsin or dithiothreitol in accordance with the known sensitivity of membrane-bound receptors to these agents. VIP receptors in CHAPS extracts were stable for at least 5 days at 4 degrees C. Scatchard analysis of equilibrium binding data indicated the presence in CHAPS extracts of high (H) and low (L) affinity binding sites with the following characteristics: KdH = 0.27 nM and BmH = 34 fmol/mg protein; KdL = 51 nM and BmL = 1078 fmol/mg protein. The guanine nucleotide GTP inhibited 125I-VIP binding to soluble receptors and enhanced the dissociation of soluble VIP-receptor complexes, suggesting that GTP-binding proteins were functionally associated with VIP receptors in solution. Gel filtration of solubilized VIP receptors on Sephacryl S-300 revealed a single binding component with a Stokes radius of 6.1 nm. It is concluded that active VIP receptors can be extracted from liver membranes by CHAPS. The availability of this CHAPS-soluble, stable and functional receptor from a tissue which can be obtained in large amounts represents a major step toward the purification of VIP receptors. 相似文献

The vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) receptor was characterized on the GH3 rat pituitary tumor cell line using competitive binding studies with peptides having sequence homology with VIP. Further studies investigated receptor coupling to the adenylate cyclase complex by measurement of cAMP levels. Finally, the molecular weight of the receptor was estimated by affinity labeling techniques. Studies using 125I-VIP and unlabeled competing peptides revealed a single class of high affinity binding sites with a dissociation constant (KD) of 17 +/- 2 nM (mean +/- S.E.M.) for VIP, 275 +/- 46 nM for peptide histidine isoleucine (PHI), and 1380 +/- 800 nM for human pancreatic growth hormone releasing factor (GHRF). VIP and PHI each stimulated intracellular cAMP accumulation in a dose-dependent manner; both peptides demonstrated synergism with forskolin. In contrast, GHRF neither stimulated accumulation of cAMP nor demonstrated synergism with forskolin. VIP plus PHI (1 microM each) caused no significant increase in cAMP over either VIP or PHI alone, implying that the two peptides act through the same receptor. Covalent crosslinking of 125I-VIP to its binding site using either disuccinimidyl suberate (DSS) or ethylene glycol bis(succinimidyl succinate) (EGS) was followed by SDS-PAGE and autoradiography. The result is consistent with an Mr 47 000 VIP-binding subunit comprising or being associated with the VIP receptor of GH3 pituitary tumor cells. 相似文献

The purpose of this work was to solubilize vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) receptors from rat small intestinal plasma membranes and to analyze the nature and function of its molecular form(s) in a nondenaturing environment. Membranes were incubated with 3 nM 125I-VIP, washed, and treated with 1% Triton X-100. Chromatography on Sephadex G-50 showed that 60% of the extractable radioactivity was eluted with macromolecular components in the void volume. This radioactive material was dramatically reduced when 1 microM unlabeled VIP was present in the incubation medium or when membranes were pretreated with trypsin or dithiothreitol. Macromolecular components that had bound 125I-VIP were further chromatographed on Sephacryl S-300. Two peaks were observed: a major one (80%) and a minor one (20%) with Stokes radii of 5.2 and 3.1 nm, respectively. The labeling of both components was inhibited by unlabeled VIP or peptide with NH2-terminal histidine and COOH-terminal isoleucine amide (a VIP agonist). The presence of GTP (0.1 mM) in the incubation medium of membranes completely abolished the labeling of the 5.2-nm component but did not affect that of the 3.1-nm one. Moreover, GTP induced dissociation of 125I-VIP from the 5.2-nm component isolated by Sephacryl S-300 chromatography. This effect was time dependent and nucleotide specific. In contrast, GTP did not affect the stability of the 3.1-nm component. After cholera toxin catalyzed [32P]ADP-ribosylation of membranes, chromatography of solubilized material on Sephacryl S-300 showed that a peak of 32P radioactivity was coeluted with the 5.2-nm component.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Chronic atropine treatment (14 days, 20 mg X day-1 X kg-1 SC) caused a 75% increase in the number of VIP receptors in the rat cerebral cortex. The affinity of these receptors for 125I-VIP was not altered significantly by the atropine treatment. The same treatment led to a 20% decrease in VIP tissue levels. Muscarinic receptor number was also increased by 26%. The results indicate that interactions between VIP- and muscarinic receptors may be of importance in the rat cerebral cortex. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to determine the distribution of VIP binding sites in the thymus and bursa of Fabricius using receptor binding and autoradiographic techniques. Biochemical characterization of 125I-VIP binding sites determined two classes of specific binding sites in both tissues. The dissociation constants determined in the thymus were 1.12 nM and 88.5 nM, and in the bursa were 0.459 nM and 70.8 nM. Autoradiographic localization of 125I-VIP binding sites within the thymus demonstrated specific binding associated with the medullary region of the thymic lobule and the blood vessels in the interlobular and trabecular areas. Within the bursa of Fabricius, high densities of silver grains corresponded with vascular elements in the interfollicular regions, the epithelial border of the plicae, the muscular layer surrounding the organ, and the diffusely infiltrated area near the burso-cloacal duct. 相似文献

The effects of a vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) receptor antagonist on mammary carcinogenesis were investigated using the C3(1)SV40T antigen (ag) mice. Ten microg/day VIPhybrid (VIPhyb) administered daily subcutaneously increased significantly the survival of C3(1)SV40Tag mice. At 5.2 months, VIPhyb significantly reduced the mammary tumor burden in C3(1)SV40Tag mice relative to control animals. 125I-VIP bound with high affinity to mouse mammary tumor homogenate. Because (Lys15, Arg16, Leu27)VIP1-7GRF8-27 (VPAC1 selective) but not Ro25-1553 (VPAC2 selective) inhibited specific 125I-VIP binding to mammary tumor membranes with high affinity, VPAC1 receptors predominate. By RT-PCR, VPAC1 receptor mRNA was detected in mammary tumors. By Western blot, a major 60 Kdalton band was detected in mammary tumor extracts using VPAC1 receptor antisera. By immunocytochemistry, VPAC1-R immunostaining was detected in the cytosol and plasma membrane but not the nucleus of fixed mammary tumor tissue. Using laser capture microdissected tumor cells and surface enhanced laser desorption/ionization (SELDI) techniques on mammary tumor cells, the proteomic profile was altered in mice treated with VIPhyb. Because VPAC1 receptor antagonists increase the survival and reduce the tumor burden in C3(1)SV40Tag mice, they may function as chemopreventive agents in mammary cancer. 相似文献

Rat lung membrane vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) receptors were covalently labeled with 125I-VIP, extracted in Triton X-100 and n-octyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside, and analyzed by gel filtration and sucrose density gradient sedimentation. The fractions were characterized by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and autoradiography, and the identity of the 125I-VIP.receptor complex was demonstrated by its co-migration with the covalently labeled 55-kDa receptor unit identified previously. Furthermore, the radioactivity in the peak corresponding to the 125I-VIP.receptor complex was displaced in the presence of unlabeled VIP in a dose-dependent manner. The following hydrodynamic properties were determined for VIP receptors in each detergent solution: in Triton X-100, Stokes radius of 6.1 +/- 0.4 nm, sedimentation coefficient (S20,w) of 7.35 +/- 0.45 S, and partial specific volume (v) of 0.809 +/- 0.015 ml/g; in n-octyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside, Stokes radius of 5.6 +/- 0.00 nm, S20,w of 10.87 +/- 0.22 S, and partial specific volume of 0.783 +/- 0.020 ml/g. The apparent molecular weight of the 125I-VIP.receptor.detergent complex was calculated as 270,000 +/- 36,000 in Triton X-100 and 320,000 +/- 32,000 in n-octyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside. The amount of detergent bound to the receptor was estimated by using the two sets of hydrodynamic data and the significantly different partial specific volumes of the two detergents. Thus, the molecular weight of the receptor alone was calculated as 54,600 daltons, indicating that approximately 3.9 g of Triton X-100 and 4.9 g of n-octyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside were bound per g of receptor. This species contained the 55-kDa binding unit and appeared to be glycosylated as evidenced by its specific binding to wheat germ agglutinin-Sepharose. These results indicate that the rat lung VIP receptor is a glycoprotein with a single polypeptide chain of 55 kDa. The large amount of detergent bound suggests that the receptor is extensively embedded in the membrane. 相似文献

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), and a class with low affinity (kd = 71.6 +/- 10.2 nM) and high capacity (419.0 +/- 80.0 fmol/10(6) cells). Structural requirements of these receptors were studied with peptides structurally or not structurally related to VIP. Several peptides inhibited 125I-VIP binding to rat peritoneal macrophages with the following order of potency: VIP greater than rGRF greater than hGRF greater than PHI greater than secretin. Glucagon, insulin, somatostatin, pancreastatin and octapeptide of cholecystokinin (CCK 26-33) were ineffective. VIP induced an increase of cyclic AMP production. Half-maximal stimulation (ED50) was observed at 1.2 +/- 0.5 nM VIP, and maximal stimulation (3-fold above basal levels) was obtained between 0.1-1 microM. Properties of these binding sites strongly support the concept that VIP could behave as regulatory peptide on the macrophage function. 相似文献
