Research Abstract |
In this study, we developed a ghrelin producing cell line MGN3-1, which secretes high amount of ghrelin with physiological acyl-modification and maturation under the physiological regulation, making this cell line one of the best tools to study the mechanisms of ghrelin production and secretion in vitro. Further, we examined the effects of peptide hormones and neurotransmitters on ghrelin secretion from MGN3-1 cells and found that oxytocin, epinephrine and dopamine significantly stimulated ghrelin secretion from MGN3-1 cells in vitro.
