  1. 01LabIn vitro (cells)Activity measurement

    In human laryngeal HEp-2 cells, VIP produced a dose-related, 8-fold increase in cAMP production.

    In plain wordsIn human throat tumour cells in culture, VIP raised cAMP about 8-fold, with larger doses giving larger rises.

    Summary
    In the presence of 3-isobutyl-l-methylxanthine, VIP produced a dose-related (3 X 10(-9)-10(-7) M) increase (8-fold) in cAMP production in isolated HEp-2 cells incubated at 15 degrees C in KRP buffer.
  2. 02LabIn vitro (cells)Activity measurement

    In human laryngeal HEp-2 cells, among peptides related to VIP only PHI activated the cAMP-generating system, at much lower potency than VIP.

    In plain wordsIn human throat tumour cells in culture, VIP activated cAMP production far more strongly than related peptides; only PHI worked at all.

    Summary
    Among the peptides structurally related to VIP, including secretin (10(-7) M), pancreatic glucagon (10(-6) M), PHI, somatostatin-14 (10(-6) M), hpGRF (10(-8)-4 X 10(-6) M), GIP (2 X 10(-7) M), only PHI (3 X 10(-7) M and above) is able to activate the cAMP-generating system in HEp-2 cells, but at 10(…

    In the presence of 3-isobutyl-l-methylxanthine, VIP produced a dose-related (3 X 10(-9)-10(-7) M) increase (8-fold) in cAMP production in isolated HEp-2 cells incubated at 15 degrees C in KRP buffer.
  3. 03LabIn vitro (cells)Mechanism

    In human laryngeal HEp-2 cells, the VIP effect relates to VIP recognition sites (125I-VIP binding) coupled to membrane-bound adenylate cyclase.

    In plain wordsIn human throat tumour cells in culture, VIP acted through binding sites linked to the enzyme that makes cAMP.

    Summary
    The VIP effect is related to the interaction of the peptide on VIP recognition sites (125I-VIP-binding capacity), coupled to the membrane-bound adenylate cyclase.
