  1. 01LabIn vitro (cells)Activity measurement

    In N1E-115 neuroblastoma cells, VIP stimulated cAMP accumulation less potently than PACAP38 and PACAP27.

    In plain wordsIn cells, VIP raised a cell-signalling molecule, but less strongly than the related peptides PACAP38 and PACAP27.

    Summary · context
    In this study, the effects of three related peptides, pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide 38 (PACAP38), PACAP27, and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), on cyclic AMP (cAMP) accumulation and intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) were compared in N1E-115 cells.
  2. 02LabIn vitro (cells)Activity measurement

    In intact N1E-115 cells, VIP did not inhibit the binding of 125I-PACAP27, unlike PACAP38 and PACAP27.

    In plain wordsIn cells, VIP did not displace PACAP27 from its binding sites, unlike PACAP38 and PACAP27.

    Summary
    The binding of 125I-PACAP27 to intact cells was inhibited by PACAP38 and PACAP27 (IC50 values of 0.44 and 0.55 nM, respectively) but not by VIP.

    In this study, the effects of three related peptides, pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide 38 (PACAP38), PACAP27, and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), on cyclic AMP (cAMP) accumulation and intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) were compared in N1E-115 cells.

Studies that did not test the peptide alone1

In this study, Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP, aviptadil) was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. These results are not evidence about taking Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP, aviptadil).

    In N1E-115 cells, ionomycin increased the cAMP accumulation caused by VIP, PACAP38 and PACAP27.

    In plain wordsIn cells, the calcium-raising agent ionomycin increased the cAMP signal caused by VIP and by the two PACAP peptides.
