Pheochromocytoma
(PC)-12 cells express Y1,
Y2, and
Y3 neuropeptide Y (NPY) receptors
when differentiated with nerve growth factor (NGF). The present work
evaluated NGF-differentiated PC-12 cells as a model system to study
modulation of NPY release by NPY autoreceptors. We demonstrated that
both K+ and nicotine stimulated
concomitant release of NPY and dopamine from differentiated PC-12
cells. We also showed in this study that NPY release from PC-12 cells
was attenuated in a concentration-dependent manner by peptide YY
(PYY)-(13
36), a selective agonist for the Y2 type of NPY receptors. This
result demonstrated that NPY release could be modulated by NPY
autoreceptors of the Y2 subtype.
The inhibitory action of PYY-(13
36) may be mediated at least in part by inhibition of N-type Ca2+
channels, because PYY-(13
36) could not produce further inhibitory effects in the presence of a maximum effective concentration of
-conotoxin, an N-type
Ca2+-channel blocker. The
inhibition by PYY-(13
36) could be blocked by pretreatment of cells
with pertussis toxin, suggesting that an inhibitory GTP-binding protein
was involved. Furthermore, the function of NPY autoreceptors could be
modulated by other receptors such as
-adrenergic and ATP receptors.
The evoked release of NPY was also attenuated by ATP and adenosine,
which have been shown to be colocalized and coreleased with NPY from
sympathetic nerve terminals. These results suggest that PC-12 cells
differentiated with NGF may be an ideal model to study regulatory
mechanisms of NPY release and that autoreceptor-mediated regulation of
NPY release appears to act through the
Y2 subtype of the NPY receptor.
