The effects of neuromedin B (NMB) on C6 glioma cells were investigated. NMB bound with high affinity (IC50 = 1 nM) to C6 cells whereas BN and GRP were less potent (IC50 = 40 and 100 nM). NMB (1 nM) elevated cytosolic Ca2+ in individual C6 cells and the increase in cytosolic Ca2+ was reversed by 1 microM [D-Arg1, D-Pro2,D-Trp7.9,Leu11]substance P [APTTL]SP, a broad spectrum antagonist. NMB stimulated [3H]arachidonic acid release from C6 cells and the increase in [3H]arachidonic acid release was reversed [APTTL]SP. NMB increased transiently c-fos gene expression in C6 cells. NMB increased the number of C6 colonies in soft agar and the increase in growth caused by NMB was reversed by [APTTL]SP. These data suggest that NMB receptors may regulate the proliferation of C6 cells.
