title: Regulation of cyclic GMP levels by neurotensin in neuroblastoma clone N1E115.
abstract: The binding of 125I-labeled [monoiodo-Tyr3]neurotensin to intact neuroblastoma N1E115 cells and the effect of neurotensin on the intracellular concentration of cyclic nucleotides were studied at 37 degrees C and under physiological conditions of pH and ionic strength. The radiolabeled neurotensin analogue bound specifically to differentiated cells with a dissociation constant of 0.75 nM and a maximal binding capacity of 45 fmol/10(6) cells. Incubation of neuroblastoma cells with neurotensin in the presence of calcium ions resulted in a transient increase of 10 fold over basal level of the intracellular cyclic GMP concentration. Half-maximal stimulation was obtained with 2 nM neurotensin. Under identical conditions the cyclic AMP concentration only decreased by 20-30%. These results suggest that cyclic GMP is a second messenger of neurotensin in neuroblastoma clone N1E115.
