| Abstract | 1. The human recombinant somatostatin (SRIF) receptors, sst1 and sst2, have been stably expressed in mouse fibroblast (Ltk-) cells. Two stable clones, LSSR 1/20 and LSSR 11/13, expressing sst1 and sst2 receptors, respectively, have been used to characterize these receptor types using radioligand binding assays as well as measurements of changes in extracellular acidification rates using microphysiometry. 2. [125I]-[Tyr11]-SRIF bound to sst1 and sst2 receptors expressed in Ltk- cells with high affinity, Kd values being 1.52 nM, and 0.23 nM respectively. 3. In Ltk- cells expressing sst1 receptors, SRIF, SRIF-28, [D-Trp8]-SRIF and CGP 23996 all displaced [125I]-[Tyr11]-SRIF binding with high potency (IC50 values of 0.43 - 1.27 nM) whilst seglitide, BIM-23027, BIM-23056 and L-362855 were either weak inhibitors of binding or were ineffective. 4. In contrast MK-678 (seglitide) and BIM-23027 were the most potent inhibitors of [125I]-[Tyr11]-SRIF binding in Ltk- cells expressing sst2 receptors with IC50 values of 0.014 and 0.035 nM, respectively. 5. SRIF and a number of SRIF agonists, including seglitide and BIM-23027, caused concentration-dependent increases in extracellular acidification rates in Ltk- cells expressing sst2 receptors but not in Ltk- cells expressing sst1 receptors. The maximum increase in acidification rate produced by SRIF was 11.3 +/- 0.7% above baseline (0.1-0.28 pH unit min-1). The relative potencies of the SRIF agonists examined in causing increases in extracellular acidification rates in Ltk- cells expressing sst2 receptors correlated well with their relative potencies in inhibiting [125I]-[Tyr11] -SRIF binding (r = 0.94). 6. The increase in extracellular acidification produced by SRIF was markedly inhibited by pretreatment of cells with pertussis toxin (100 ng ml-1) indicating the involvement of pertussis toxin-sensitive G proteins. 7. SRIF (1 microM) had no effect on basal cyclic AMP levels in Ltk- cells expressing sst1 or sst2 receptors nor did it inhibit forskolin stimulated increases in cyclic AMP levels in either cell type. 8. The results from the present study describe the operational characteristics of human sst2 receptors expressed in Ltk- cells where receptor activation causes increases in extracellular acidification rates. This receptor is coupled to a pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein. In contrast, activation of sst1 receptors, at a similar transfection density, did not cause increases in extracellular acidification rates. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
