The effects of pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) peptide fragments on the basal and agonist-induced release of catecholamines (CAs) from monolayer cultures of purified bovine adrenal chromaffin cells were tested. None of the 5 peptides tested, i.e. beta-MSH, ACTH1-39, gamma-MSH1-13, gamma 3-MSH and N-terminal POMC fragment, had any effect on basal CA release. However, beta-MSH (10(-5) M), gamma-MSH1-13 (10(-6)-10(-5) M), gamma 3-MSH (10(-5) M) and N-terminal POMC fragment (10(-5) M) inhibited the nicotine-induced release of CAs from the chromaffin cells. The possible physiological significance of this inhibitory neuromodulation is discussed.
检测了促阿片-黑素细胞皮质素原(POMC)肽片段对纯化的牛肾上腺嗜铬细胞单层培养物中儿茶酚胺(CA)基础释放及激动剂诱导释放的影响。所检测的5种肽,即β-促黑素(β-MSH)、促肾上腺皮质激素1-39(ACTH1-39)、γ-促黑素1-13(γ-MSH1-13)、γ3-促黑素(γ3-MSH)和POMC N端片段,均对CA基础释放无任何影响。然而,β-MSH(10⁻⁵ M)、γ-MSH1-13(10⁻⁶ - 10⁻⁵ M)、γ3-MSH(10⁻⁵ M)和POMC N端片段(10⁻⁵ M)抑制了嗜铬细胞中尼古丁诱导的CA释放。讨论了这种抑制性神经调节的可能生理意义。
