A C6 glioma cell line stably transfected with the rat delta opioid receptor (C6delta ) 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]GTPgamma S binding by 640, 654 and 576%, respectively, over basal. The peptide agonists, DPDPE and deltorphin II, both stimulated [35S]GTPgamma 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]GTPgamma 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]GTPgamma S binding by BW373U86 and DPDPE with similar potencies. Other evidence suggesting the lack of receptor subtypes includes the finding that stimulation of [35S]GTPgamma 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]GTPgamma S binding.
