Neuropeptide Y (NPY) and noradrenaline (NA) are frequently co-localized and co-released in the sympathetic nervous system. Since bradykinin (BK) is known to stimulate neurotransmitter release as NA in adrenal glands, we therefore hypothesized that BK might also be involved in the release of NPY. The effect of BK(1-9) on immunoreactive NPY (Ir-NPY) release was investigated in superfused human pheochromocytoma tissue. BK(1-9) (10(-7)-10(-5) M) was shown to induce a rapid Ir-NPY release in a concentration-dependent manner. This effect of BK(1-9) (10(-6) M) was mimicked by the B2 agonist [Phe(8)(CH(2)NH)Arg(9)]-bradykinin (10(-5) M) and blocked by the selective B2-receptor antagonist HOE140 (10(-5) M). Increasing Ir-NPY release was probably not mediated by nitric oxide (NO) since the outflow of Ir-NPY was not influenced by the NO synthase inhibitor N-omega-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) (10(-4) M). In presence of bapta-AM (10(-5) M), a chelator of cytosolic calcium, W7 (10(-5) M), a calmodulin inhibitor, TMB-8 (10(-5) M), a blocker of intracellular calcium mobilization and ryanodine (10(-5) M), a selective inhibitor of the Ca(2+)-induced release mechanism, the NPY release by BK(1-9) was significantly inhibited by 126%, 98%, 91%, and 94%, respectively. These results indicate that BK increased the release of NPY by the tumor acting through the interaction with the BK-B2 receptor and request intracellular calcium mobilization independently of a NO mechanism.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009478 Neuropeptide Y A 36-amino acid peptide present in many organs and in many sympathetic noradrenergic neurons. It has vasoconstrictor and natriuretic activity and regulates local blood flow, glandular secretion, and smooth muscle activity. The peptide also stimulates feeding and drinking behavior and influences secretion of pituitary hormones.

D010673 Pheochromocytoma A usually benign, well-encapsulated, lobular, vascular tumor of chromaffin tissue of the ADRENAL MEDULLA or sympathetic paraganglia. The cardinal symptom, reflecting the increased secretion of EPINEPHRINE and NOREPINEPHRINE, is HYPERTENSION, which may be persistent or intermittent. During severe attacks, there may be HEADACHE; SWEATING, palpitation, apprehension, TREMOR; PALLOR or FLUSHING of the face, NAUSEA and VOMITING, pain in the CHEST and ABDOMEN, and paresthesias of the extremities. The incidence of malignancy is as low as 5% but the pathologic distinction between benign and malignant pheochromocytomas is not clear.

D001920 Bradykinin A nonapeptide messenger that is enzymatically produced from KALLIDIN in the blood where it is a potent but short-lived agent of arteriolar dilation and increased capillary permeability. Bradykinin is also released from MAST CELLS during asthma attacks, from gut walls as a gastrointestinal vasodilator, from damaged tissues as a pain signal, and may be a neurotransmitter.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D043782 Receptor, Bradykinin B2 A constitutively expressed subtype of bradykinin receptor that may play a role in the acute phase of the inflammatory and pain response. It has high specificity for intact forms of BRADYKININ and KALLIDIN. The receptor is coupled to G-PROTEIN, GQ-G11 ALPHA FAMILY and G-PROTEIN, GI-GO ALPHA FAMILY signaling proteins.
