| Abstract | An identification of PAC$_{1}$- and VPAC-type receptors in a great number of neoplastic cells gave rise to intensive studies on the biochemical and physiological role of the mentioned peptides in cancers. Our earlier studies focused on effects of pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide (PACAP) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) in C6 glioma cells have shown their stimulatory receptor-mediated action on the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-generating system. In the present study, we demonstrated that truncated peptides, i.e., PACAP6-38 and VIP6-28, both produced a significant inhibition of the VIP-induced increase in cAMP production, whereas only PACAP6-38 did antagonize the PACAP-38 effect. In contrast to the well-expressed PACAP-38 and VIP effects on cAMP production in C6 cells, helodermin and secretin were poorly active as cAMP stimulators in this cell line, displaying some activity only at a high 5-μM dose. PACAP-38 and, to a lesser extent VIP stimulated the proliferation of C6 glioma cells, which was shown by an increased incorporation of $^{3}$H-thymidine into the cells, and the effects of these two peptides were antagonized by PACAP6-38. The truncated PACAP (10 μM) by itself significantly inhibited C6 cell proliferation. The study with the use of forskolin and dibutyryl-cAMP revealed that the growth effects of PACAP were cAMP independent. Our findings suggest that glioma C6 cells possess PAC$_{1}$- and VPAC-type receptors, but the density of PAC$_{1}$ seems to be much larger than VPAC receptors. Although the proliferative activity of PACAP and VIP is mediated via the PAC$_{1}$-type receptor, the signaling cascade underlying this phenomenon does not seem to involve cAMP. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
