Human alpha 7 acetylcholine receptor: cloning of the alpha 7 subunit from the SH-SY5Y cell line and determination of pharmacological properties of native receptors and functional alpha 7 homomers expressed in Xenopus oocytes

X Peng, M Katz, V Gerzanich, R Anand and J Lindstrom

Department of Neuroscience, University of Pennsylvania Medical School, Philadelphia 19104-6074.

The alpha-bungarotoxin-binding acetylcholine receptors from the human neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y were found to cross-react with some monoclonal antibodies to alpha 7 subunits of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors from chicken brain. The human alpha 7 subunit cDNA from SH- SY5Y was cloned, revealing 94% amino acid sequence identity to rat alpha 7 subunits and 92% identity to chicken alpha 7 subunits. Native human alpha 7 receptors showed affinities for some ligands similar to those previously observed with native chicken alpha 7 receptors, but for other ligands there were large species-specific differences in binding affinity. These results paralleled properties of alpha 7 homomers expressed in Xenopus oocytes. Human alpha 7 homomers exhibited rapidly desensitizing, inwardly rectifying, agonist-induced, cation currents that triggered Ca(2+)-sensitive Cl- channels in the oocytes. A change in efficacy from partial agonist for chicken alpha 7 homomers to full agonist for human alpha 7 homomers was exhibited by 1,1-dimethyl-4- phenylpiperazinium. This result reveals a large species-specific pharmacological difference, despite small differences in alpha 7 sequences. This is important for understanding the effects of these drugs in humans and for identifying amino acids that may contribute to the acetylcholine binding site, for analysis by in vitro mutagenesis. These results also characterize properties of native alpha 7 receptors and alpha 7 homomers that will provide criteria for functional properties expected of structural subunits, when these can be identified, cloned, and coexpressed with alpha 7 subunits.
