Regulation of neuropeptide Y mRNA expression in cultured human pheochromocytoma cells.

Abstract:

:The expression of the neuropeptide Y (NPY) gene varies considerably in human pheochromocytomas, but the mechanisms for this variation have not been clarified. To investigate the regulation pattern of the NPY gene in human pheochromocytomas, we screened 16 pheochromocytomas and 9 normal adrenal tissues with Northern blots. The expression level of NPY mRNA in normal adrenal medulla was low and relatively constant, while the pheochromocytomas showed a very wide variation in NPY mRNA levels in both malignant and benign tumors. This indicates that NPY gene expression is not correlated with malignancy in pheochromocytomas. In primary cultures of human pheochromocytoma cells, nerve growth factor treatment (causing neuronal differentiation) increased NPY mRNA accumulation 2- to 5-fold (P < 0.05). NPY mRNA levels were also induced by protein kinase modulators (Bu)(2)cAMP and staurosporine in the cultures (P < 0.05). In contrast, treatment with dexamethasone and IGF-II (causing or linked with chromaffin differentiation) reduced NPY mRNA accumulation (P < 0.05). These data show that the regulation pattern of NPY mRNA expression in cultured human pheochromocytoma cells is different from that previously described in rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells. Regulation of NPY mRNA expression in primary cultures by these differentiating factors suggests that the expression of NPY mRNA in pheochromocytoma tissues may be associated with the neuronal differentiation of the tumor cells affected by multiple factors.
