title: Neuropeptide Y receptor in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells: ligand binding and increase in cytosolic free Ca2+.
abstract: We have previously shown that neuropeptide Y (NPY) increases cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration [( Ca2+]i) in porcine aortic smooth muscle cells. In this study, specific NPY receptor binding sites were identified in the cells by use of [125I]Bolton-Hunter NPY [( 125I]BH-NPY). Binding was to a single population of the sites with a Kd of 1.1 +/- 0.2 nM and a Bmax of 0.68 +/- 0.10 pmol/mg protein. [125I]BH-NPY binding was displaced by NPY-related peptides including members of the pancreatic polypeptide (PP) family. The potency of these peptides other than human PP for displacing [125I]BH-NPY binding was substantially consistent with their potency for increasing [Ca2+]i. Human PP had no effect on [Ca2+]i even at 10(-5) M, but it inhibited the NPY-induced increase in [Ca2+]i with a potency comparable to that for displacing [125I]BH-NPY binding. NPY(13-36) was about 500 and 300 times less effective than porcine NPY in increasing [Ca2+]i and in displacing [125I]BH-NPY binding, respectively, showing that the NPY receptor in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells is of the Y1-type.
