Neurokinin-1 Receptors Located in Human Retinoblastoma Cell Lines: Antitumor Action of Its Antagonist, L-732,138

Abstract: This study showed that the same isoforms of the neurokinin-1 receptor are present in human retinoblastoma cell lines WERI-Rb-1 and Y-79. Both L-732,138 and L-733,060 can induce apoptosis in these cell lines and therefore can act as antitumoral agents. Primary retinoblastoma specimens display neurokinin-1 receptor immunolabeling. These results suggest that the neurokinin-1 receptor may be a promising new target for the treatment of retinoblastoma.

“…Cell nuclei were lightly counterstained with hematoxylin. Finally, as previously published [21] , in order to determine the specificity of the immunostaining, primary retinoblastoma was used as positive control. As negative control, the primary antibody was omitted, being replaced by nonimmune serum.…”

“…(a) by inhibiting tumor cell proliferation in several tumor cell lines, including breast cancer cells [10,13,14]. NK-1 receptor antagonists induce cellular death by apoptosis [10,14]; (b) by inhibiting tumor neoangiogenesis [15]; and (c) by inhibiting the migration of tumoral cells (e.g., breast carcinoma cells) [9,16].…”

“…Indeed, TACR1 inhibitors were discussed as possible anticancer agents. 75 Second, it has been argued that death signaling is commonly impaired in malignancies, so protection of normal cells through targeting of these same pathways may not affect the efficacy of treatment, at least, for some cancers. 76 Third, an acute nephroprotective intervention may be too short to sustain tumor growth.…”
