Vasoactive intestinal peptide stimulation of renal adenylate cyclase and antagonism by (4Cl-D-Phe6Leu17)VIP.
The effect of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and related peptides [glucagon, secretin, PHI 1-27 (peptide with N-terminal histidine and C-terminal isoleucine)] on renal adenylate cyclase (AC) has been determined in several species. The largest stimulation (4.1 +/- 0.5-fold basal) of AC by 1 mumol.l-1 VIP was observed in feline cortical plasma membranes. In rabbit and guinea-pig, VIP increased AC activity 1.5 +/- 0.3- and 1.8 +/- 0.3-fold respectively but glucagon had no such action. Conversely in the rat glucagon stimulated AC some 3-fold over basal activity whereas VIP had little effect. In dog, cat and mouse both peptides were effective in increasing AC activity. For cat, half-maximal stimulation of cortical plasma membrane AC by VIP was seen at 27.0 +/- 9.0 nmol.l-1 (SE N = 9 animals). VIP also increased AC activity in both outer (red) and inner (white) medulla. In feline cortical membranes VIP and PTH (parathyroid hormone) when added in combination were fully additive. However for VIP and glucagon in combination there was no cumulative increase in AC activity, indeed the resultant activity was less than that attained by VIP alone. The VIP analogue (4Cl-D-Phe6Leu17)VIP at 10 mumol.l-1 produced a right shift in the VIP-dose response curve and increased the EC50 from 17.2 +/- 5.8 nmol.l-1 to 132.0 +/- 22.2 nmol..-1 VIP (SE N = 4). There was no reduction in the maximum response elicited by VIP consistent with a competitive type of antagonism by this analogue. PHI-stimulated AC was also reduced by (4Cl-D-Phe6Leu17)VIP resulting in a similar right shift in the dose response curve.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
