Results: Chromosome 5q deletion was significantly more frequent in invasive TGFa was expressed in the cytoplasms of tumor cells in thirty five cancers (70% of the informative cases) as compared to carcinoma in situ cases of forty seven (74.5 %) primary lung cancers, whereas the control (40%), dysplasias (33%), and hyperplasialmetaplasia samples (11%). expressed in two of ten bronchial epithelial cells.

We have identified pituitary adenylate cyclase activating peptide (PACAP) receptors on small cell lung cancer cell line NCI-N417 in a previous study. In this study, the role of PACAP in the growth and signal transduction of non-small cell lung cancer cells was investigated. Northern blot analysis with a full-length human PACAP receptor cDNA probe revealed a major 7.5-kb hybridizing transcript when total RNA extracted from NCI-H838 cells was used. PACAP bound with high affinity (K(d) = 1 nM) to a single class of sites-(B(max) = 14,OOUcell) when NCI-H838 cells were used. Specific lz51- labeled PACAP binding was inhibited with high affinity by PACAP- and PACAP- 38, with moderateaffinity by PACAP(6-38), and with low affinity byvasoactive intestinal polypeptide, PACAP(28-38), and PACAP( 16-38). PACAP- 27 elevated CAMP in a dose-dependent manner, and the increase in CAMP caused by PACAP was reversed by PACAP(6-38). PACAP-27, but not vasaactive intestinal polypeptide, elevated cytosolic Ca2’ in individual NCI-H838 cells. PACAP- 27 stimulated arachidonic acid release, and the increase caused by PACAP was reversed by PACAP(6- 38). PACAP- stimulated colony formation in NCI-H838 cells, whereas the PACAP antagonist PACAP(638) reducedcolony formation in the absence or presence of exogenous PACAP-27. In nude mice bearing NCI-H838 xenografts, PACAP(6-38) slowed tumor growth significantly. Thesedata suggest that biologically active type 1 PACAP receptors are present on human non- small cell lung cancer cells, which exhibit dual signal transduction pathways and regulatecell proliferation. Mitogenic effect of serotonin in human small cell lung carcinoma cells via both S-HT(lA) and 5HT(lD) receptors Cattaneo MG, Fesce R, Vicentini LM. Department of Medical Pharmacology, University ofhfilan, Via Vanvirelli 32, 20129 Milan. Eur J Pharmacol Mel Pharmacol Sect 1995;29 1:209-l I. We have recently shown that the mitogenic effect of serotonin (5- hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) on human small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) cells is at least partly due to stimulation of a 5-HT(lD) receptor type. We now report that the 5-HT( 1A) receptor agonist R( +)-8-hydroxy-2- (di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) is also capableof stimulating [‘Hlthymidine incorporation into SCLC GLC-8 cells, although with lower efficacy than 5-HT. The simultaneous administration of maximal doses of 8-OH-DPAT and the 5-HT( 1D) receptor agonist sumatriptan reproduced the maximal [‘Hlthymidine incorporation observed with 5- HT alone. The 5-HT( IA) receptor antagonists spiperone and SDZ 216- 525 completely abolished the effect of II-OH-DPAT (IC, 30 nM for both drugs) behaving as pure antagonists. Accordingly, the two drugs partially inhibited the mitogenic effect of 5-HT. These data indicate that the mitogenic effect of5-HT in SCLC cells involves both S-HT( 1A) and 5-HT( 1 D) receptor types.
