A C6 glioma cell line stably transfected with the rat
delta opioid receptor (C6
) was used to characterize
receptor binding and G protein activation by both peptide and
nonpeptide delta opioid ligands. The ligand binding
affinities for [3H]naltrindole and
[3H]pCl-[D-Pen2,D-Pen5]enkephalin
(DPDPE) were similar to those observed in monkey brain membranes. The
nonpeptide agonists, BW373U86 and SNC80, as well as peptide agonist
[D-Ser2,L-Leu5]enkephalyl-Thr
maximally stimulated [35S]GTP
S binding by 640, 654 and
576%, respectively, over basal. The peptide agonists, DPDPE and
deltorphin II, both stimulated [35S]GTP
S binding by
375%. Etorphine, diprenorphine, oxymorphindole and
7-spiroindanyloxymorphone were also partial agonists in this assay,
although they were less efficacious than deltorphin II. Stimulation of
[35S]GTP
S binding by agonists was blocked completely
by pertussis toxin pretreatment. Both delta-1 and
delta-2 selective antagonists 7-benzylidenenaltrexone
and a benzofuran analog of naltrindole displayed high affinity for the
cloned receptor (0.04 and 0.08 nM) and antagonized the stimulation of
[35S]GTP
S binding by BW373U86 and DPDPE with similar
potencies. Other evidence suggesting the lack of receptor subtypes
includes the finding that stimulation of [35S]GTP
S
binding by receptor subtype selective ligands DPDPE and deltorphin II
was not additive. BW373U86, SNC80 and DPDPE maximally inhibited
forskolin-stimulated adenylyl cyclase. These cells highly express a
homogeneous population of delta opioid receptor that couple to inhibitory Go/Gi proteins. Ligand
affinity for the delta opioid receptor correlates with
ligand EC50 values for stimulation of
[35S]GTP
S binding.
