The increased proliferation of cultured neuroblastoma cells treated with vasoactive intestinal peptide is enhanced by simultaneous inhibition of neutral endopeptidase.

Vasoactive intestinal peptide ( VIP) stimulates the neuroblastoma cell line ( NMB) to proliferate. Neuropeptide activity can be inhibited by neutral endopeptidases that function intracellularly and in the extracellular milieu. NMB cells express neutral endopeptidase ( NEP) activity that can be specifically inhibited by phosphoramidon (PA). Our data now show that phosphoramidon treatment increases the efficacy of VIP-stimulated neuroblastoma proliferation. These results suggest that membrane endopeptidases modulate VIP-associated cell proliferation and enhancement of endopeptidase activity may serve as a target for cancer therapy.[1]
