title: Heterologous desensitization of bradykinin-induced phosphatidylinositol response and Ca2+ mobilization by neurotensin in NG108-15 cells.
abstract: The heterologous desensitization of the bradykinin (BK)-induced increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) by neurotensin was studied in neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid NG108-15 cells. The addition of neurotensin to the cells resulted in an increase in [Ca2+]i and an increase in the formation of inositol phosphates in Ca2+-free medium. Pretreatment of the cells with neurotensin resulted in 43% decrease in the BK-induced increase of [Ca2+]i. The increase in [Ca2+]i induced by ionomycin, which causes Ca2+ release from the intracellular pool, was not decreased by pretreatment with neurotensin. This indicates that the inhibitory effect of neurotensin on the BK-induced increase of [Ca2+]i was not due to depletion of the intracellular Ca2+ pool. Pretreatment with neurotensin also caused a 47% decrease in the BK-induced formation of inositol trisphosphates (IP3). This decrease was not due to depletion of phosphatidylinositol bisphosphates. Neurotensin did not inhibit [3H]BK binding to cell membranes. These results show that neurotensin desensitizes the BK responses of NG108-15 cells, heterologously, perhaps by changes in phospholipase C and/or guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G-protein).
