title: Identification and characterization of functional D1 dopamine receptors in a human neuroblastoma cell line.
abstract: Dopamine stimulated human neuroblastoma SK-N-MC cells to accumulated cyclic AMP. The D1 agonist SKF (R)-38393 also stimulated cyclic AMP production whereas the response to dopamine was inhibited by the D1 antagonist SCH (R)-23390. Membranes from SK-N-MC cells bound the D1 ligand [125I]SCH 23982 with a Kd of 2.1 nM and a Bmax of 102 fmol/mg protein. Binding was displaced by dopamine, SKF 38393, and SCH 23390. Up to 40% of the receptors were in an agonist high affinity, guanine nucleotide-sensitive state, compared to only 6% in rat striatum. A D1 photoaffinity probe labeled a 72 kDa protein in both SK-N-MC and rat striatal membranes. Thus, SK-N-MC human neuroblastoma cells contain D1 dopamine receptors which are similar to those found in mammalian striatum, but which are more tightly coupled to adenylate cyclase. SK-N-MC cells may be a useful model to investigate the properties and regulation of D1 dopamine receptors.
