Abstract

Influence of the ACTH-like peptide H-Val-Lys-Lys-Pro-Gly-Ser-Ser-Val- Lys-Val-OH corresponding to the sequence 11-20 of the variable part of human immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) heavy chain on growth of MT-4 human T-lymphoblastoid cell line was investigated. It was found that the ACTH-like peptide at concentration range 10-11 -10-7 M inhibits the proliferation of MT-4 cells. Labeled ACTH 'address segment' [125I]ACTH (13-24) was used to establish that MT-4 cells express specific receptors for ACTH (K(d) = 97 pM). The ACTH-like peptide and human ACTH (but not IgG1 heavy chain) were shown to compete with [125I]ACTH (13-24) for binding to these receptors (K(i1) = 0.38 nM and K(i2) = 0.34 nM).
