title: [(125)I]orphanin FQ/nociceptin binding in Raji cells.
abstract: Western blots using an antibody which recognizes the orphanin FQ/nociceptin (OFQ/N) receptor reveals a band at approximately 69 kD in several cell lines, including the Raji human B cell lymphoma cell line. RT-PCR confirms the presence of this receptor in the Raji cells. Binding studies revealed a high affinity [(125)I][Tyr(14)]OFQ/N site in the Raji cells. The affinity of [(125)I][Tyr(14)]OFQ/N in the Raji cells (K(D) 68.4 pM) was similar to that in the transfected receptor (K(D) 36.7 pM). Its selectivity profile also was quite similar. OFQ/N competed binding quite potently (K(i) 65 pM), as did [Tyr(14)]OFQ/N (K(i) 33 pM). Traditional opioids displayed no appreciable affinity for the binding at any concentration examined, with the exception of naloxone benzoylhydrazone, which had only a very modest affinity. The receptors in the Raji cells were functionally active. OFQ/N inhibited forskolin-stimulated cyclase by 72% with an IC(50) value of approximately 1 nM.
