Abstract
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is an endogenous neuropeptide with a broad array of physiological functions in many organs including the intestine. Its actions are mediated via G protein-coupled receptors, and vasoactive intestinal peptide receptor 1 (VPAC1) is the key receptor responsible for majority of VIP's biological activity. The distribution of VPAC1 along the length of the gastrointestinal tract and its subcellular localization in intestinal epithelial cells have not been fully characterized. The current studies were undertaken to determine VPAC1 distribution and localization so that VIP-based therapies can be targeted to specific regions of the intestine. The results indicated that the mRNA levels of VPAC1 showed an abundance pattern of colon > ileum > jejunum in the mouse intestine. In parallel, the VPAC1 protein levels were higher in the mouse colon, followed by the ileum and jejunum. Immunofluorescence studies in mouse colon demonstrated that the receptor was specifically localized to the luminal surface, as was evident by colocalization with the apical marker villin but not with the basolateral marker Na+/K+-ATPase. In the human intestine, VPAC1 mRNA expression exhibited a distribution similar to that in mouse intestine and was highest in the sigmoid colon. Furthermore, in the human colon, VPAC1 also showed predominantly apical localization. The physiological relevance of the expression and apical localization of VPAC1 remains elusive. We speculate that apical VPAC1 in intestinal epithelial cells may have relevance in recognizing secreted peptides in the intestinal lumen and therefore supports the feasibility of potential therapeutic and targeting use of VIP formulations via oral route to treat gastrointestinal diseases.NEW & NOTEWORTHY These studies for the first time present comprehensive data on the relative characterization of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) receptors in the intestinal mucosa. Vasoactive intestinal peptide receptor 1 (VPAC1) was identified as the predominant receptor with higher levels in the colon compared with the small intestine and was mainly localized to the apical membrane. In addition, the findings in the human tissues were consistent with VPAC1 expression in the mouse intestine and open possibilities to target colonic tissues with VIP for treating diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease.

Abstract
Receptors for regulatory peptides (hormones or neurotransmitters) play a pivotal role in the ability of cells to taste the rich neuroendocrine environment of the gut. Recognition of low concentration of peptides with a high specificity and translation of the peptide-receptor interaction into a biological response through different signalling pathways (adenylyl cyclase-cAMP or phospholipase C-phosphatidylinositol) are crucial properties of receptors. While many new receptors have been identified and thereafter characterized functionally during the 1980s, molecular biology now emerges as the privileged way for the structural characterization and discovery of receptors. Different strategies of receptor cloning have been developed which may or may not require prior receptor purification. Among cloning strategies that do not require receptor purification, homology screening of cDNA libraries, expression of receptor cDNA or mRNA in Xenopus laevis oocytes or in COS cells, and the polymerase chain reaction method achieved great success, e.g. cloning of receptors for cholecystokinin, gastrin, glucagon-like peptide 1, gastrin-releasing peptide/bombesin, neuromedin K, neuropeptide Y, neurotensin, opioids, secretin, somatostatin, substance K, substance P and vasoactive intestinal peptide. All these receptors belong to the superfamily of G-protein-coupled receptors which consist of a single polypeptide chain (350-450 amino acids) with seven transmembrane segments, an N-terminal extracellular domain and a C-terminal cytoplasmic domain. In this chapter, we have detailed the properties of three receptors which play an important role in digestive tract physiology and illustrate various signal transduction pathways: pancreatic beta-cell galanin receptors which mediate inhibition of insulin release and intestinal epithelial receptors for vasoactive intestinal peptide and peptide YY, which mediate the stimulation and inhibition of water and electrolyte secretion, respectively.

Abstract
Although several lines of evidence implicate cAMP in the regulation of intestinal cell proliferation, the precise role of this second messenger in the control of the human colon cancer cell cycle is still unclear. In order to investigate the role of cAMP in HT29 cell proliferation, we have tested the effect of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and forskolin on DNA synthesis and cell number, focusing on the time-dependent efficacy of the treatment. The cells were arrested in G0/G1 phase by incubation for 24 h in serum-free medium and proliferation was re-initiated by addition of either 85 nM insulin or 0.5% fetal calf serum. In the presence of fetal calf serum, G1/S transition was found to occur earlier than with insulin. Exposure of the HT29 cells to 10(-5) M forskolin in the early stages of growth induction (within 12 h from FCS addition or within 14 h from insulin treatment) resulted in a significant inhibition of DNA synthesis and a delayed entry in the S phase. By contrast, VIP (10(-7) M) was inhibitory only when added within a narrow window (10 to 12 h or 12 to 14 h following FCS or insulin addition, respectively). The difference in efficiency of forskolin and VIP to inhibit cell proliferation may be correlated with their own potency to promote long-lasting cAMP accumulation. The combination of VIP plus forskolin had synergistic effects on both cAMP accumulation and cell-growth inhibition. Taken together, our data indicate that cAMP may act at a step in the late G1 or G1/S transition.

Abstract
Involvement of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) in proliferation of the HT29 cell line and its control by either fetal calf serum (FCS) or vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) as an external signal increasing cAMP level were investigated. Activation of the polyamine-producing system appears to be a necessary step in the proliferative response of HT29 cells since cell growth is arrested by addition of difluoromethylornithine (DFMO, an inhibitor of ODC), then restored by further addition of putrescine into the culture medium. FCS deprivation results in decreased activity of ODC and arrest of cell growth. Addition of FCS induces reactivation of ODC peaking at 9 hr and re-initiates proliferation but does not affect cAMP level. VIP strongly and rapidly stimulated cAMP accumulation, which resulted in significant activation of ODC. When VIP-induced cAMP formation was hindered by the alpha 2-adrenergic agonist UK14304, activation of ODC was no longer observed. The dose-response curve for ODC activation by VIP indicates an EC50 value of 0.078 nM which falls within the range of physiological concentrations for this peptide. However, VIP fails to stimulate proliferation when cells are cultured either in an FCS-free medium or in the presence of a growth-limiting concentration of FCS. We conclude that the mechanisms of ODC activation by either FCS or VIP are different, the latter involving cAMP formation. Activation of ODC to produce polyamines is necessary to support the proliferative process in our model but the VIP-induced activation of the enzyme alone is not sufficient to promote cell growth.

Abstract
Changes induced in the ultrastructure of the epithelium of the rat colon descendens by long-term electric field stimulation (EFS) in an Ussing chamber were investigated. The anion secretion, which was induced by EFS and was measured by the short-circuit current, fell continuously during a 5 h stimulation. At the end of the stimulation period, small particles were observed in the epithelium; these did not appear in unstimulated control tissue. They were localized predominantly in the apical part of the cell. By staining with periodic acid-thiosemicarbazide-silver proteinate and because of their sensitivity to alpha-amylase, they were identified as glycogen deposits. This storage of glycogen was time-dependent and was first visible after an EFS of 2 h. It did not appear if glucose was substituted in the bathing solution by sodium butyrate. Glycogen particles were also observed after addition of forskolin, which in contrast to EFS causes a high secretory activity that is stable over several hours. The surface cells contained significantly more glycogen than the crypt cells when secretion was stimulated by EFS or forskolin. The formation of glycogen during EFS was not prevented by tetrodotoxin (TTX). In contrast, TTX itself, which causes maximal absorptive activity by blocking secretomotor neurons, induced the appearance of glycogen in the enterocytes without EFS. However, in the presence of TTX, the amount of glycogen was the same in surface and crypt cells. The results demonstrate that the capacity to synthesize and store glycogen, which has up to now only been observed in embryonic or tumor epithelial cells, is still present in adult colonic mucosa.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Metabolic pathways of glucose utilization have been investigated in a human colon adenocarcinoma cell line (HT29) using carbon-13 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy. HT29 cells were adapted to grow on a polystyrene beaded microcarrier and were perfused when attached to the beads in a specially designed NMR cell. Abnormalities in carbohydrate metabolism already observed in several cancer cells were studied in HT29 cells fed with (1-13C)-enriched glucose. The cells were first perfused with a glucose-free medium for 2 h in order to deplete the intracellular store of glycogen, and they were subsequently perfused with a medium containing enriched glucose at an initial concentration of 5.5 mM. Sequential 13C-NMR spectra, recorded at 100.5 MHz (5 min accumulation), show that HT29 cells were able to utilize glucose through the glycolytic pathway while storing glucose as glycogen (glucose was utilized at a rate of 3.9 mumol/mg protein/hr). The glycolytic activity determined by the amount of lactic acid produced was 4.6 microns/mg protein/hr, corresponding to the formation of 1.2 lactic acid per glucose molecule. Glycogen accumulation corresponded to 16 micrograms/mg of protein. Treatment of HT29 with 10 nM vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) induced a transient decrease in the level of labelled glycogen to 50% of the initial value. Control level was recovered 12 min after VIP loading.

Abstract
Effects of insulin on key steps of carbohydrate metabolism were investigated in cultured HT29 colon cancer cells by two different approaches, i.e. incubation of the cells either in the absence or in the presence of glucose in the medium. In glucose-deprived cells, insulin decreased glycogen breakdown, but did not affect polysaccharide levels when glucose was present. Glycogen synthase became activated after insulin treatment in both conditions, even though the activation was more evident when glucose was omitted. No effect on glycogen phosphorylase activity was evident under our experimental conditions. In cells incubated with glucose, the hormone stimulated in a dose-dependent manner the rates of glucose uptake and lactate release. Concomitantly with the increase in glycolytic rate, insulin caused a strong increase in fructose 2,6-bisphosphate. This effect was not observed in the absence of glucose. It is concluded that the carbohydrate metabolism of cultured HT29 cells responds to insulin, making this biological model suitable for investigations in vitro on the mechanism of insulin action.

Abstract
1. The effects of different putative retinal transmitters and/or modulators on glycogenolysis in rabbit retinal slices and in retinal Müller cell cultures were examined. 2. Incubation of rabbit retinal slices or primary retinal cultures (either 3-5 day-old or 25-30 day-old) in a buffer solution containing [3H]-glucose resulted in the accumulation of newly synthesized [3H]-glycogen. 3. Noradrenaline (NA), isoprenaline, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and 8-hydroxy-dipropylaminetetralin (8-OH-DPAT) stimulated the hydrolysis of this newly formed 3H-polymer. The potency order of maximal stimulations was: VIP greater than NA greater than isoprenaline greater than 5-HT greater than 8-OH-DPAT. 4. The putative retinal transmitters, dopamine, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), glycine and taurine and the muscarinic agonist carbachol (CCh) had no effect on [3H]-glycogen content. 5. The glycogenolytic effects of NA/isoprenaline and 5-HT/8-OH-DPAT appear to be mediated by beta-adrenoceptors and 5-HT1 receptors (possibly 5-HT1A), respectively while the VIP-induced response involved another receptor subtype. 6. Agonists which mediated [3H]-glycogen hydrolysis also stimulated an increase in adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP) formation. Both responses are blocked to a similar extent by the same antagonists and so are probably mediated via the same receptor subtypes. Moreover, dibutyryl cyclic AMP (db cyclic AMP) promoted tritiated glycogen breakdown in the three retinal preparations. 7. Not all receptors linked to cyclic AMP production however promote glycogenolysis. Dopamine and apomorphine stimulated cyclic AMP formation via D1-receptors without influencing glycogenolysis. These receptors are exclusively associated with neurones.

Abstract
The effects of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) and dibutyryl cyclic adenosine 3':5'monophosphate (dbcAMP) on two human colon carcinoma cell lines, HCT 116 and GEO, were investigated. VIP and dbcAMP inhibited the growth of both cell lines in monolayer culture in a dose-dependent manner. Within 6 h of treatment with 1 mM dbcAMP or 0.3 microM VIP, numerous mucin-like droplets were secreted by GEO cells. VIP and dbcAMP also increased carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) secretion. In both cell lines, a 9-fold increase in conditioned medium CEA levels was observed at 1 mM dbcAMP and a 2.6-fold increase at 1.5 microM VIP. Time- and concentration-dependent evaluation in cAMP levels were elicited by VIP in the two cell lines. Immunocytochemical studies for cell-surface glycoprotein detection in GEO cells showed that VIP induced a morphological and functional organization of mucin-secreting cells. These results indicate that VIP and dbcAMP have antiproliferative and strong differentiation-promoting effects in colon cancer cells. This is the first report of VIP-induced mucin secretion in colon tumor cells.

Abstract
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) was found to cause a dose-dependent decrease in fructose 2,6-bisphosphatase concomitant with an increase in cyclic AMP in cultured HT29 cancer cells from human colon. The maximum effect was a 41% decrease obtained with 10 nM-VIP, and half-maximum effect was obtained with 0.75 nM-VIP. The effect of 2.5 nM-VIP was almost totally counteracted (i.e. fructose 2,6-bisphosphate concentration was restored) by either adrenaline (1 microM) or the alpha 2-adrenergic agonist UK-14304 (1 microM); the alpha 2-agonist clonidine (1 microM) was less efficient, since the VIP effect was decreased by 72% only. The adrenaline effect was totally antagonized by 1 microM-yohimbine. It is concluded that, in the HT29 cancer cells, the fructose 2,6-bisphosphate-producing system is sensitive to variations of cyclic AMP concentration and is under the dual control of VIP and alpha 2-adrenergic receptors.

Abstract
The 19 amino acid carboxyl terminus fragment of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), VIP(10-28), inhibits [125I]VIP binding in intact HT29 colonic adenocarcinoma cells and in membranes from these cells. However, VIP(10-28) alone has no effect on adenylate cyclase activity (membranes) or cyclic AMP synthesis (intact cells) in HT29 cells although VIP receptor agonists are markedly stimulatory. The indicated antagonist character of VIP(10-28) was confirmed by rightward parallel shifts of VIP dose response curves in the presence of VIP(10-28) in adenylate cyclase and cyclic AMP synthesis experiments. The equilibrium dissociation constant values for VIP(10-28) from these experiments agree with values from inhibition binding studies. The lack of effect of VIP(10-28) on forskolin dose response curves in HT29 adenylate cyclase assays indicates the specificity of the VIP(10-28) antagonism, thus suggesting that VIP(10-28) may be a useful tool in studying VIP receptor regulation and other aspects of the mechanisms of VIP action. The potential regulatory role of a proteolytically generated fragment of VIP acting antagonistically at VIP receptors is discussed.

Abstract
The kinetics of VIP processing in different compartments (medium, plasma membrane and intracellular) by HT-29 cells was studied using direct biochemical methods and a homogeneous monoiodinated VIP. The compartmental radioactivity was characterized by HPLC fractionation and specific receptor binding. VIP once bound to the cell surface remains intact and is rapidly and maximally internalized (less than 10 min) at 37 degrees C. Then two different processes occur: (1) release of degradation products 125I and monoiodinated tyrosine in the medium; (2) VIP remains intact in the cells representing 67.2 +/- 4.7% of total radioactivity up to 90 min. The overall processing of VIP is time- and temperature-dependent and maximal internalization of VIP with minimal medium release is observed at 20 degrees C. Our results demonstrate a receptor mediated internalization of VIP and that at least two intracellular pathways may exist in the cycle of VIP. One is associated with a complete degradation of VIP detected in the extracellular medium and is optimal at 37 degrees C. The other results in the presence of intact intracellular VIP and is optimal at 20 degrees C.

Abstract
The human colon adenocarcinoma cell line HT-29 in culture exhibits a cyclic AMP production system highly sensitive to vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), making HT-29 cells a unique cultured cell system for studying the mechanism of VIP action [Laburthe, Rousset, Boissard, Chevalier, Zweibaum & Rosselin (1978) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 75, 2772-2775]. The quantitative characteristics of VIP receptors in HT-29 cells and their structural requirement and molecular size were studied. 125I-labeled VIP bound in a time-dependent manner to HT-29 cell homogenates. At equilibrium (60 min incubation at 30 degrees C), unlabelled VIP in the 0.01-10 nM concentration range competed with 125I-VIP for binding to cell homogenates. Scatchard analysis of binding data gave a straight line, indicating that VIP bound to a single population of sites with a KD of 0.12 +/- 0.02 nM and a capacity of 120 +/- 9 fmol/mg of protein. The structural requirement of these receptors was studied with peptides structurally related to VIP, either natural or synthetic. Several peptides inhibited 125I-VIP binding to HT-29 cell homogenates with the following order of potency, which is typical of the human VIP receptor: VIP (IC50 = 0.1 nM) greater than VIP-(2-28)-peptide (IC50 = 13 nM) greater than human growth hormone releasing factor (IC50 = 56 nM) greater than peptide histidine isoleucine amide (IC50 = 80 nM) greater than secretin (IC50 greater than 10 000 nM). To characterize the molecular component(s) of the VIP receptor in HT-29 cells, 125I-VIP was covalently bound to cell homogenates by using the cross-linker dithiobis(succinimidyl propionate). Sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel autoradiographic studies of affinity-labelled cell homogenates revealed two major bands, corresponding to 125I-VIP-protein complexes of Mr 66 000 and 16 000. The labelling of the Mr-66 000 component was specific, since it was abolished by native VIP, whereas that of the Mr-16 000 component was not. Densitometric scanning of autoradiographs indicated that the labelling of the Mr-66 000 complex was inhibited by low VIP concentrations in the 0.1-10 nM range (IC50 = 0.6 nM), but was unaffected by 1 microM-glucagon or octapeptide of cholecystokinin. It was also decreased by VIP-(2-28)-peptide with a potency 1% that of VIP. Assuming that one molecule of 125I-VIP bound per molecule of protein, one protein of Mr 63 000 was identified as a component of the VIP receptor in HT-29 cells.

Abstract
The human colon cancer line Caco-2 exhibits after confluency a concomitant increase of glycogen accumulation and an enterocytic differentiation. The purpose of this work was to investigate whether forskolin (FK), an activator of adenylate cyclase, would induce a permanent glycogenolysis and, if so, whether it would result in modifications of the differentiation pattern of the cells. FK activates adenylate cyclase in Caco-2 cells with an ED50 of 7 X 10(-6)M. Three different treatment protocols with FK (10(-5)M) were applied: 1) the cells were treated during all the time in culture (20 days); 2) the treatment was started after confluency; 3) the treatment was interrupted after confluency. The presence of FK results in a permanent stimulation of cAMP accumulation (10 to 20 fold the basal values) and in a permanently reduced glycogen content (30 or 50% of the control values). The rates of glucose consumption are increased three and five fold in protocols 1 and 3 respectively. These metabolic changes are associated with morphological changes (tightening of the intercellular spaces and shortening of the brush border microvilli) and with a dual inhibition of the activities of brush border hydrolases: a) an inhibition of the post-confluent increase of activity of sucrase, aminopeptidase N and alkaline phosphatase in the brush border enriched fraction; b) an inhibition of the post-confluent increase of activity of sucrase in the cell homogenate. A comparison of the results obtained in each protocol shows that the morphological modifications and the decrease of the enzyme activities in the brush border fraction are regularly associated with an increased cAMP accumulation, whereas the inhibition of the differentiation of sucrase is a direct consequence of the increase in glucose consumption and decrease in glycogen stores.

Abstract
Human colonic carcinoma Caco-2 cells grown in vitro form epithelial layers of highly polarized cells. Unlike colonic adsorptive cells they possess a mucosal membrane with very limited ionic conductance, even after exposure to aldosterone. When grown on filters, Caco-2 cells were sensitive to various secretagogues; these included 10(-5) M dibutyryl adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (DBcAMP) and 10(-10) M vasoactive intestinal peptide, both of which, added serosally, enhanced the short-circuit current. The same applied to mucosal forskolin. Caco-2 cell sensitivity to serosal epinephrine was lower. Ion substitutions and 22Na-36Cl flux measurements indicated the possibility of secretagogue-dependent chloride secretion. Measurements on cells grown on Petri dishes and exposed to 1 mM DBcAMP for 1 h enabled detection of more profound modifications. Sustained 20-mV cell depolarization and a large reduction in the relative electrical resistance of the mucosal membrane were concomitant with a sizable decrease in 36Cl accumulation. These results suggest that Caco-2 cells, which to some extent resemble colonic crypt cells, possess the cAMP-dependent mucosal chloride conductance characteristic of secretory cells.

Abstract
In the present work, [3H]clonidine was used to characterize alpha 2-adrenoceptors on the human adenocarcinoma cell line HT 29. The effects of alpha 2-adrenergic stimulation on cellular cyclic AMP levels were also investigated. The binding of [3H]clonidine on HT 29 cell membrane preparations was rapid and reversible. Scatchard analysis of the saturation curves indicated the existence of a single class of non-interacting sites with a KD of 1.29 +/- 0.07 nM and a Bmax of 114 +/- 7 fmol/mg of cell membrane protein. The binding sites for [3H]clonidine showed the required specificity for alpha 2-adrenoceptors. The potencies of alpha-adrenergic compounds to displace [3H]clonidine binding ranked as follows: yohimbine greater than phentolamine much greater than prazosin for antagonists and clonidine greater than epinephrine greater than norepinephrine greater than phenylephrine much greater than amidephrine for agonists. When tested on intact cells, epinephrine, norepinephrine and clonidine were found to counteract, in a dose-dependent manner, the increase of cyclic AMP triggered by vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP). Such inhibitory effects were abolished by the addition of yohimbine but not of prazosin. The physiological amines were the most efficient agonists: both epinephrine and norepinephrine inhibited VIP-induced cyclic AMP accumulation by 50-55% with KD values of 50 nM and 300 nM respectively. Clonidine was a partial agonist only, provoking a weak (25-30%) inhibition of VIP-induced cyclic AMP accumulation even at high concentrations. These results indicate that, like normal colocytes, human colon adenocarcinoma cells HT 29 possess alpha 2-adrenoceptors, the stimulation of which is associated with an inhibition of cyclic AMP production.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Vasoactive Intestinal Polypeptide (VIP) promotes the hydrolysis of 3H-glycogen newly synthesized from 3H-glucose by mouse cortical slices. This effect occurs rapidly, approximately 50% of the maximal effect being reached within one minute. The maximal effect is achieved after 5 minutes and maintained for at least 25 minutes. Furthermore the glycogenolytic effect of VIP is reversible, and pharmacologically specific. Thus several neuropeptides present in cerebral cortex such as cholecystokinin-8, somatostatin-28, somatostatin-14, met-enkephalin, leu-enkephalin, do not affect 3H-glycogen levels. VIP fragments 6-28, 16-28 and 21-28 are similarly inactive. Furthermore, among the peptides which share structural homologies with VIP, such as glucagon, secretin, PHI-27 and Gastric Inhibitory Peptide, only secretin and PHI-27 promote 3H-glycogen hydrolysis, with EC50 of 500 and 300 nM respectively, compared to an EC50 of 25 nM for VIP. Immunohistochemical observations indicate that each VIP-containing bipolar cell is identified with a unique radical cortical volume, which is generally between 15-60 micrograms in diameter and overlaps with the contiguous domains of neighbouring VIP-containing bipolar cells. Thus this set of biochemical and morphological observations support the notion that VIP neurons have the capacity to regulate the availability of energy substrates in cerebral cortex locally, within circumscribed, contiguous, radial domains.

Abstract
Activity of several enzymes of the glycogen and carbohydrate metabolism is studied in HT 29 colon adenocarcinoma cell line and in HT 29 tumors developed in nude mice, by reference to the normal human colon mucosa. Activity of glycogen synthase, glycogen phosphorylase, pyruvate kinase, fructose-1,6-diphosphatase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and lactate dehydrogenase is found to be increased in both the cultured cells and the tumors. It indicates that the biochemical strategy of malignant cells, due to the neoplastic transformation process, involves specific changes in the carbohydrate metabolism of tumor as well as in vitro growing correspondent cell line.

Abstract
The effects of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) were assessed on astroglia cultured from rat CNS. In these cultures VIP (500 nM) promoted the hydrolysis of [3H]glycogen newly synthesized from [3H]glucose. This effect on [3H]glycogen levels was also observed with the structurally related peptide PHI-27 and with other substances which had been demonstrated to promote glycogenolysis in rodent CNS in vitro such as: norepinephrine (NE), serotonin, histamine, adenosine, K+ and dibutyryl cyclic-AMP (dbcAMP). Furthermore, VIP (500 nM) and PHI 27 (500 nM), when applied to astroglial cultures in serum-free medium, displayed marked effects on the morphological appearance of the cell population: they converted the flat cells present in the cultures into cells with typical astrocytic morphology. As previously reported, this effect on the cellular morphology of the cultures was also observed, under identical experimental conditions, after NE and dbcAMP application. These studies demonstrate that cultured rat neonatal astroglia possess receptors for VIP, and suggest that a cyclic AMP accumulation may mediate both the metabolic and morphologic components of this response.

Abstract
When deprived of glucose, the cultured HT 29 adenocarcinoma cells are able to mobilize their glycogen within 4 hours. Glycogen phosphorylase is strongly activated during the first hour of glucose starvation. Then, while the a/a + b ratio for phosphorylase is declining, glycogen synthase is partially converted into the a form; this conversion does occur although glycogen phosphorylase is far from being totally inactivated. After 4 hours, activity of both a and total forms of glycogen synthase decrease. Cell UDP-glucose and glucose-6-P levels are declining during the 24 hours period of glucose starvation. Cell ATP content decreases by only 50 percent over the same period of time.

Abstract
The presence of specific binding sites for [3H]yohimbine, a labelled alpha 2-adrenergic agent, on crude membranes of HT 29 cells established in culture from a human colon adenocarcinoma, is reported. The estimated affinity and number of sites (KD = 6.3 +/- 0.9 nM; Bmax = 224 +/- 28 fmol/mg protein) as well as the relative potencies of adrenergic agonists (clonidine greater than phenylephrine greater than amidephrine) and adrenergic antagonists (yohimbine greater than dihydroergotamine much greater than prazosin) to displace [3H]yohimbine binding indicate that the yohimbine sites of these cancer cells have similar characteristics to the alpha 2-adrenergic receptors described in other tissues.

Abstract
VIP is a neuroregulator occurring in the central and peripheral nervous system which exhibits the function of neurotransmitter in the brain, neuroendocrine substance at the pituitary level, and neuroparacrine substance in peripheral organs. The structure and the specificity of the molecule as studied by antibody and receptor, and its location in brain and peripheral organs are summarized as well as its numerous biological effects. The method used to demonstrate the involvement of VIP in a physiological regulation is described and illustrated by two examples: the effect of VIP on gut epithelium and the neuroendocrine action of VIP in inducing prolactin release from pituitary cells. The consequence of this recent progress in the knowledge of VIP release and action in human physiology and disease is indicated.
