Abstract

Substance P analogues including [d-Arg1,d-Phe5,d-Trp7,9,Leu11]substance P (SpD) act as "broad spectrum neuropeptide antagonists" and are potential anticancer agents that inhibit the growth of small cell lung cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. However, their mechanism of action is controversial and not fully understood. Although these compounds block bombesin-induced mitogenesis and signal transduction, they also have agonist activity. The mechanism underlying this agonist activity was examined. SpD binds to the ligand-binding site of the bombesin/gastrin-releasing peptide receptor and blocks the bombesin-stimulated increase in [Ca2+]i within the same concentration range that causes sustained activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase and extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK). The activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase by SpD and bombesin is blocked by dominant negative inhibition of G(alpha12). The ERK activation by SpD is pertussis toxin-sensitive in contrast to ERK activation by bombesin, which is pertussis toxin-insensitive but dependent on epidermal growth factor receptor phosphorylation. SpD does not simply act as a partial agonist but differentially modulates the activation of the G-proteins G(alpha12), G(i), and ...Continue Reading
