The synthetic peptide [D-Arg1,D-Pro2,D-Trp7,9,Leu1]substance P inhibits the stimulation of DNA synthesis induced in Swiss 3T3 cells by bombesin or vasopressin, but not that induced by a wide range of other growth factors and mitogens. The stimulation induced by 10 pM-3 nM-bombesin is inhibited by 1-30 microM-antagonist in a manner consistent with competition at the bombesin receptor. The inhibition by the antagonist of the stimulation induced by vasopressin suggests a previously unrecognized interaction of the antagonist with vasopressin receptors. The antagonist should be useful in studies of cell proliferation both in vivo and in vitro.

Swiss/3T3 cell cultures were harvested with 0.05% collagenase and after centrifugation the pellet was prepared by the freeze-fracture/freeze-drying (FFFD) method for bulk-specimen X-ray microanalysis. Time-dependent variations in the intracellular monovalent elemental concentrations (Na+, K+ and Cl-) as well as of the Na+/K+ ratio were followed for 120 min subsequent to harvesting. The quantitative measurements revealed a very considerable increase in the intracellular Na+ and Cl- accompanied by a decrease in the K+ concentration as soon as 5 min after harvesting. The Na+/K+ ratio had increased by this time to about 1.5 on average. These changes indicate a sustained depolarization of the cell membrane. During the first 60 min this depolarization tended to normalize as demonstrated by an exponential decrease in the intracellular Na+ and Cl- and an increase in the K+ content involving a decrease in the Na+/K+ ratio. The total intracellular monovalent ion concentration remained almost constant during this post-harvesting period. These results suggest that harvesting represents a serious depolarizing stimulus to the cells, the consequences of which are restored only after 1–2h. These alterations should be taken into consideration during various experimental designs when using anchorage-dependent cell cultures.

We have compared the effects of pretreatment of Swiss 3T3 cell with pertussis toxin on the stimulation of DNA synthesis and phosphoinositide hydrolysis in response to a wide variety of mitogens. The toxin substantially inhibited the stimulation of DNA synthesis in response to a phorbol ester or various peptide and polypeptide growth factors irrespective of their ability to activate phosphoinositidase C. Production of inositol phosphates in response to platelet-derived growth factor, fibroblast growth factor and prostaglandin F2 alpha were unaffected by the toxin while bombesin- and vasopressin-stimulated formation of inositol phosphates were inhibited by only 27 and 23% respectively. These results argue against a major role for a pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein in coupling any of these mitogen receptors to activation of a phosphoinositidase C. Furthermore, the results suggest that the widespread inhibitory effects of pertussis toxin on mitogen-stimulated DNA synthesis may be unrelated to the toxin's limited actions on phosphoinositide hydrolysis.

Gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) and bombesin can stimulate pepsinogen release by both gastrin-dependent and -independent mechanisms. Using isolated guinea pig gastric chief cells, we determined that GRP can act directly on the guinea pig chief cell to cause pepsinogen release. GRP and bombesin stimulated a 2.5- to 3-fold increase in pepsinogen release above basal release. Substance P also stimulated a small but significant increase in pepsinogen release. No gastrin immunoreactivity was detected in the supernatants of cells stimulated with up to 1 microM GRP or bombesin or 1 mM carbachol. GRP-stimulated pepsinogen release was completely inhibited by GRP/bombesin receptor agonists as well as substance P receptor antagonist but not by antagonists to receptors for gastrin, the octapeptide of cholecystokinin (CCK-8), secretin, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), or muscarinic agents. Substance P-stimulated pepsinogen release was completely inhibited by substance P receptor antagonist but not by GRP/bombesin receptor antagonists. An additive effect on pepsinogen release was seen when GRP was combined with maximally effective concentrations of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP)-mediated agents (VIP, secretin, 8-BrcAMP) but not with calcium-mediated agents (carbachol, CCK-8, gastrin). These results indicate that GRP can directly stimulate pepsinogen release from guinea pig chief cells by a specific GRP receptor that mobilizes intracellular calcium.
