ZUSAMMENFASSUNG

This investigation describes the relative potencies of four peptide agonists, namely, peptide YY (PYY), [Leu3l,Pro34]PYY (Pro34pYY), neuropeptide Y (NPY), and [Leu31,Pro34]NPY (Pro34NPY), as antisecretory agents in human, rat, and mouse gastrointestinal preparations. The inhibition of agonist responses by the Y1-receptor antagonist BIBP 3226 was also tested in each preparation. An unexpectedly pronounced preference for PYY and Pro34PYY was observed in functional studies of two human epithelial lines stably transfected with the rat Y1 receptor (Y1-7 and C1Y1-6). NPY and Pro34NPY were at least an order of magnitude less effective than PYY in these functional studies but were only marginally less potent in displacement binding studies using membrane preparations of the same clonal lines. The orders of agonist potency obtained in Y1-7 and C1Y1-6 epithelia were compared with those obtained from a single human colonic adenocarcinoma cell line (Colony-6, which constitutively expresses Y1 receptors) and also from mucosal preparations of rat and mouse descending colon. Similar peptide orders of potency were obtained in rat and mouse colonic mucosae and Colony-6 epithelia, all of which exhibited PYY preference (although less pronounced than with Y1-7 and C1Y1-6 epithelia) and significant sensitivity to the Y1 receptor antagonist, BIBP 3226. We have compared the pharmacology of these five mammalian epithelial preparations and provide cautionary evidence against the reliance upon agonist concentration-response relationships alone, in the characterization of NPY receptor types.
