title: Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide receptors linked to an adenylate cyclase, and their relationship with biogenic amine- and somatostatin-sensitive adenylate cyclases on central neuronal and glial cells in primary cultures.
abstract: The presence of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) receptors coupled to an adenylate cyclase was demonstrated on membranes of neurons or glial cells grown in primary cultures originating from the cerebral cortex, striatum, and mesencephalon of mouse embryos. A biphasic pattern of activation was observed in all these cell types, involving distinct high- and low-apparent-affinity mechanisms. The absence of additive effects of VIP and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethylamine (DA, dopamine), isoproterenol (ISO), and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT, serotonin) suggests that the peptide receptors are colocated with each of the corresponding amine receptors on neuronal membranes of the three structures studied. The nonadditivity between the VIP- and ISO-induced responses on cortical and striatal glial membranes reveals as well a colocation of VIP and beta-adrenergic-sensitive adenylate cyclases on the same cells. A subpopulation of mesencephalic glia could possess only one of the two types of receptors, as a partial additivity of the VIP and ISO responses was seen. In addition, VIP modified the characteristics of the somatostatin inhibitory effect on adenylate cyclase activity of neuronal membranes from the cerebral cortex and striatum but not from those of the mesencephalon. On striatal and mesencephalic glial membranes the somatostatin inhibitory effect was observed only in the presence of VIP. However, as previously seen with ISO, the presence of VIP did not allow the appearance of a somatostatin inhibitory response on cortical glial membranes. This suggests that cortical glia are devoid of somatostatin receptors.
