Neuropeptide Y (NPY) enhances ATP-stimulated inositol phosphate (InsP) formation in bovine chromaffin cells through an unknown mechanism. Chromaffin cells were transduced with the carboxyl terminus of beta-adrenergic receptor kinase 1 (betaARK1CT), a Gbetagamma subunits scavenger, using a recombinant adenovirus system. The adenovirus also expresses a green fluorescent protein (GFP) which serves as an index of transduction. Flow cytometry showed that up to 80% of chromaffin cells were transduced by the virus. There was a direct correlation between the betaARK1CT inhibition of the NPY enhancement of ATP-stimulated InsP formation and the percent of cells expressing GFP ( r2=0.9993 ). These results demonstrate that Gbetagamma subunits are required for the NPY enhancement of ATP-stimulated InsP formation in bovine chromaffin cells.
神经肽Y(NPY)通过未知机制增强牛嗜铬细胞中ATP刺激的肌醇磷酸(InsP)生成。使用重组腺病毒系统,用β-肾上腺素能受体激酶1(βARK1CT)的羧基末端(一种Gβγ亚基清除剂)转导嗜铬细胞。该腺病毒还表达绿色荧光蛋白(GFP),用作转导指标。流式细胞术显示高达80%的嗜铬细胞被病毒转导。βARK1CT对NPY增强ATP刺激的InsP生成的抑制作用与表达GFP的细胞百分比之间存在直接相关性(r2 = 0.9993)。这些结果表明,Gβγ亚基是牛嗜铬细胞中NPY增强ATP刺激的InsP生成所必需的。
