NPY and carbachol raise Ca2+ in SK-N-MC cells by three different mechanisms. Evidence for inositol phosphate-independent Ca2+ mobilization by NPY

Abstract

We have compared the mechanism of NPY- and carbachol-stimulated Ca2+ increases in SK-N-MC cells. NPY stimulated Ca2+ mobilization via a pertussis toxin-sensitive mechanism. Carbachol stimulated Ca2+ mobilization and influx via pertussis toxin-insensitive and -sensitive mechanisms, respectively. Carbachol but not NPY stimulated inositol phosphate accumulation by a pertussis toxin-insensitive mechanism. We conclude that carbachol promotes Ca2+ influx via a pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein and Ca2+ mobilization via a pertussis toxin-insensitive G-protein coupling to inositol phosphate generation; NPY stimulates Ca2+ mobilization via a pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein without apparent involvement of inositol phosphates.
