Abstract | PURPOSE: METHODS: RESULTS:
Neurokinin-1 receptors were present in both retinoblastoma cell lines studied. Three identical bands ( isoforms of approximately 33, 58, and 75 kDa) were observed in both cell lines. Moreover, L-732,138 inhibited the growth of both cell lines studied, with and without previous administration of substance P. This inhibition occurred in a dose-dependent manner, with the IC50 values of 60.47 microM for WERI-Rb1 and 56.78 microM for Y-79. Moreover, apoptosis was observed in both cell lines after the administration of L-732,138 or L-733,060. In fixed eyes with primary retinoblastoma, a high density of neurokinin-1 receptors was observed in tumor cells, whereas a very low number of such cells contained substance P. CONCLUSIONS:
