Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients suffer from pulmonary stresses such as dyspnea and chest pain, and the pathogenic mechanisms are not known. SCLC cells secrete a variety of bioactive neuropeptides, including bombesin-like peptides. We hypothesize that these peptides may enhance the sensitivity of the pulmonary chemosensitive nerve endings, contributing to the development of these pulmonar...
The integration of fluorescence and plasmonic properties into one molecule is of importance in developing multifunctional imaging and therapy nanoprobes. The aim of this research was to evaluate the fluorescent properties and the plasmonic-photothermal, therapeutic, and radiotherapeutic potential of 177Lu-dendrimer conjugated to folate and bombesin with gold nanoparticles in the dendritic cavit...
Three mammalian bombesin receptor subtypes have been characterized: the gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRP-R), the neuromedin B receptor (NMB-R), and bombesin receptor subtype 3 (BRS-3). In a previous report we identified four amino acids that are critical for high affinity binding of bombesin and gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) to the GRP-R. These four amino acids are conserved in all spe...
Bombesin-like peptides have been implicated as autocrine growth factors influencing the pathogenesis and progression of some human lung carcinoma cells. To determine the pharmacologic and structural properties of the bombesin receptors expressed in human lung carcinoma cells, cDNA clones encoding a human gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRP-R) and a pharmacologically distinct neuromedin-B pr...
In order to ascertain possible abnormalities in somatostatin and gastrin secretion in patients with duodenal ulcer, the author compared bombesin-stimulated somatostatin and gastrin secretion by antral mucosal explants in patients with duodenal ulcer, those with atrophic gastritis and normal controls. An organ culture technique was employed. This excluded neurogenic, hormonal and circulatory inf...
Bombesin, a 14 amino-acid peptide, is pressor when administered intravenously in rat and pressor and sympathoexcitatory when applied intracerebroventricularly. To determine the spinal effects of bombesin, the peptide was administered acutely in the intrathecal space at around thoracic spinal cord level six of urethane-anesthetized, paralyzed, and bilaterally vagotomized rats. Blood pressure, he...
In this study, we investigated the effect of bombesin/GRP antagonist RC-3095 on the growth of CFPAC-1 human pancreatic cancer cells transplanted to nude mice or cultured in vitro. Nude mice bearing xenografts of the CFPAC-1 cell line received s.c. injections of RC-3095 (10/tg twice a day) or the vehicle (control) for 25 days. Chronic administration of RC3095 inhibited the growth of CFPAC-1 tumo...
The stimulation of inositol phosphate generation by bombesin and GTP analogues was studied in Swiss 3T3 cells permeabilized by electroporation. Bombesin-stimulated inositol phosphate generation is potentiated by guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (GTP[S]) and inhibited by guanosine 5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate at all peptide concentrations tested, with no change in the EC50 value (concn. giving...
The amphibian tetradecapeptide, bombesin, and structurally related peptides caused a marked increase in ouabain-sensitive 86Rb+ uptake (a measure of Na+/K+ pump activity) in quiescent Swiss 3T3 cells. This effect occurred within seconds after the addition of the peptide and appeared to be mediated by an increase in Na+ entry into the cells. The effect of bombesin on Na+ entry and Na+/K+ pump ac...
Bombesin-like peptides typically act as neurotransmitters along the brain-gut axis and as growth factors in various human tissues. The present study demonstrates the expression of gastrin releasing peptide (GRP)-preferring bombesin receptors in human renal cell carcinoma but not in normal kidney tissue. The expression of GRP receptors was characterized at the mRNA level by reverse transcription...
