Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) stimulated cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels in SK-N-MC human neuroblastoma cells in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. The efficacy order for CGRPs was human alpha-CGRP = human beta-CGRP = chick CGRP greater than rat CGRP greater than human [Tyr0]CGRP. Calcitonin (CT) failed to influence cAMP production in SK-N-MC cells. [Tyr0]CGRP27-37 which by itself did not affect cAMP levels antagonized CGRP action. Saturation analysis using [125I]CGRP showed a homogeneous population of binding sites. CGRP but not CT, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and neuropeptide Y (NPY) inhibited radioligand binding. Our results provide evidence that human neuroblastoma SK-N-MC cells contain highly specific CGRP receptors which are positively coupled to cAMP generation.
