Cells of the hybrid clone NG108-15 responded to 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), dopamine or acetylcholine with graded depolarizations involving membrane conductance increases. Responses desensitized during continuous application of the neurotransmitters, and responses to 5-HT and dopamine cross-desensitized: a desensitizing application of one neurotransmitter also desensitized the hybrd cell to the other neurotransmitter. 5-HT and acetylcholine did not cross-desensitize. The hybrid cell 5-HT response was not attenuated by D-LSD, and was blocked by 10(-5) M morphine, although not via binding to naloxone-sensitive opiate receptors. 5-HT or the prostaglandin PGF2alpha caused the release of acetylcholine at the synapses of hybrid cells with mouse myotubes. Application of 5-HT or PGF2alpha also facilitated the synaptic release elicited by hybrid cell action potentials. Following treatment with the antimitotic agent cytosine arabinoside, co-cultures of hybrid cells and mouse myotubes exhibited plentiful synaptic connections only if maintained in medium containing 1 mM dibutyryl cAMP (dBcAMP). After X-irradiation, co-cultures were synaptically active even in the absence of dBcAMP. Thus, methods have been found to regulate both the short-term and long-term synaptic activity of NG108-15 hybrid cells.
