The binding of [3H]neurotensin to a cell line (HT 29) derived from a human colon carcinoma was characterized and compared with [3H]neurotensin binding to rat brain synaptic membranes. Both systems were used as radioreceptor assays for neurotensin and 18 neurotensin synthetic analogs, and the binding affinities thus derived were compared to the biological potencies obtained from the peptide abilities to contract isolated longitudinal smooth muscle strips of the guinea pig ileum. Tritiated neurotensin bound specifically and reversibly to HT 29 cells. The characteristics of [3H]neurotensin binding to cells at 24°C were those of a simple, bimolecular reaction involving one class of noncooperative binding sites. A Kd value of 1.5 nM was independently obtained from association kinetic and equilibrium experiments; total binding capacity was 37 fmol/106 cells (22,000 neurotensin-binding sites/cell). Peptides structurally not related to neurotensin did not affect [3H]neurotensin binding. These binding characteristics were very similar to those observed for the binding of [3H]neurotensin to rat brain synaptic membranes. When the binding affinities of neurotensin and neurotensin analogs were compared in the extraneural (HT 29 cells) and neural (brain membranes) systems, a highly significant correlation between the two binding systems was observed. A highly significant correlation was also found when the biological potencies of neurotensin and neurotensin analogs were compared with their binding affinities in either the neural or the extraneural radioreceptor assay. The positive charge on both arginyl residues 8 and 9 and the L-configuration of Arg9 were important for binding and biological activity. An aromatic residue in the L-configuration was required in position 11 of the neurotensin molecule. The side-chain methyl groups of Ile12 and carboxy-terminal residue Leu13, as well as the presence of Leu13 in the L-configuration, were required for activity.
