Abstract
Association of neurotensin to its receptor in HT29 cells increases the intracellular concentration of inositol phosphates. A rapid (20–30 s), transient stimulation of inositol trisphosphate (275% of the basal level) and inositol bisphosphate (420%) is first observed, followed by a slower, stable increase in inositol monophosphate (170%). Half-maximal stimulation of the three inositol phosphates was obtained with 50–100 nM neurotensin. These results indicate that neurotensin is able to regulate intracellular Ca 2+ levels in HT29 cells by using inositol trisphosphate as a second messenger.
