Eleven surgical samples of gliomas (1 of grade II, 3 of grade III and 7 of grade IV) were analyzed. Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptors were identified by 125I-alpha h-CGRP binding in 9 cases and the presence of a CGRP-stimulated adenylate cyclase in all the 11 cases. Tracer binding was inhibited by unlabelled alpha h-CGRP (Kd of 0.3 nM), by (8-37) alpha h-CGRP (Kd of 30 nM), by (12-37) alpha h-CGRP (Kd of 3.000 nM) but not by human calcitonin. The mean density of CGRP receptors (120 fmol/mg membrane protein) was comparable to that of beta-adrenergic receptors. CGRP stimulated 1.4 to 4.7-fold (mean 2.7) the adenylate cyclase activity with a K(act) of 2.0 nM. The CGRP fragments had no intrinsic activity but inhibited the CGRP effect. The (8-37)CGRP fragment had a Ki of 30 nM. Thus, at variance with previous reports on rat and human brain membranes, that showed the presence of CGRP receptors not coupled to adenylate cyclase, we observed in human gliomas the presence of CGRP receptors that, when occupied, stimulated efficiently the adenylate cyclase activity.

D009457 Neuroglia The non-neuronal cells of the nervous system. They not only provide physical support, but also respond to injury, regulate the ionic and chemical composition of the extracellular milieu, participate in the BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER and BLOOD-RETINAL BARRIER, form the myelin insulation of nervous pathways, guide neuronal migration during development, and exchange metabolites with neurons. Neuroglia have high-affinity transmitter uptake systems, voltage-dependent and transmitter-gated ion channels, and can release transmitters, but their role in signaling (as in many other functions) is unclear.

D004789 Enzyme Activation Conversion of an inactive form of an enzyme to one possessing metabolic activity. It includes 1, activation by ions (activators); 2, activation by cofactors (coenzymes); and 3, conversion of an enzyme precursor (proenzyme or zymogen) to an active enzyme.

D005910 Glioma Benign and malignant central nervous system neoplasms derived from glial cells (i.e., astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymocytes). Astrocytes may give rise to astrocytomas (ASTROCYTOMA) or glioblastoma multiforme (see GLIOBLASTOMA). Oligodendrocytes give rise to oligodendrogliomas (OLIGODENDROGLIOMA) and ependymocytes may undergo transformation to become EPENDYMOMA; CHOROID PLEXUS NEOPLASMS; or colloid cysts of the third ventricle.
