Only pyrimidinoceptors are functionally expressed in mouse neuroblastoma cell lines.
The ability of UTP, UDP, ATP, and ADP to influence inositol phospholipid hydrolysis in neuroblastoma origin cell lines was assessed. The mouse neuroblastoma lines N1E 115, Neuro 2a, and NB4 1A3 and the rat glioma/mouse neuroblastoma hybrid line NG108-15 gave robust responses to both UTP and UDP, which were essentially equipotent. Thus a range of cell lines of mouse neuroblastoma origin express a pyrimidine-selective P2Y receptor. The NG108-15 cells were the only cell type tested at which ATP and ADP displayed activity with EC50 values of greater than 100 microM, compared with values of 0.58 and 1.25 microM for UTP and UDP, respectively. In contrast to the cell lines derived from mouse neuroblastoma, the human neuroblastoma lines SH-SY5Y and SK-N-SH did not respond to any nucleotides, although both responded well to carbachol.
