Human lymphocytes are known to posessess a catecholamine-responsive adenylate cyclase which has typical beta-adrenergic specificity. To identify directly and to quantitate these beta-adenergic receptors in human lymphocytes, (-) [3H] alprenolol, a potent beta-adrenergic antagonist, was used to label binding sites in homogenates of human mononuclear leukocytes. Binding of (-) [3H] alprenolol to these sites demonstrated the kinetics, affinity, and stereospecificity expected of binding to adenylate cyclase-coupled beta-adrenergic receptors. Binding was rapid (t1/2 less than 30 s) and rapidly reversible (t1/2 less than 3 min) at 37 degrees C. Binding was a saturable process with 75 +/- 12 fmol (-) [3H] alprenolol bound/mg protein (mean +/- SEM) at saturation, corresponding to about 2,000 sites/cell. Half-maximal saturation occurred at 10 nM (-) [3H] alprenolol, which provides an estimate of the dissociation constant of (-) [3H] alprenolol for the beta-adrenergic receptor. The beta-adrenergic antagonist, (-) propranolol, potently competed for the binding sites, causing half-maximal inhibition of binding at 9 nM. beta-Adrenergic agonists also competed for the binding sites. The order of potency was (-) isoproterenol greater than (-) epinephrine greater than (-)-norepinephrine which agreed with the order of potency of these agents in stimulating leukocyte adenylate cyclase. Dissociation constants computed from binding experiments were virtually identical to those obtained from adenylate cyclase activation studies. Marked stereospecificity was observed for both binding and activation of adenylate cyclase. (-)Stereoisomers of beta-adrenergic agonists and antagonists were 9- to 300-fold more potent than their corresponding (+) stereoisomers. Structurally related compounds devoid of beta-adrenergic activity such as dopamine, dihydroxymandelic acid, normetanephrine, pyrocatechol, and phentolamine did not effectively compete for the binding sites. (-) [3H] alprenolol binding to human mononuclear leukocyte preparations was almost entirely accounted for by binding to small lymphocytes, the predominant cell type in the preparations. No binding was detectable to human erythrocytes. These results demonstrate the feasibility of using direct binding methods to study beta-adrenergic receptors in a human tissue. They also provide an experimental approach to the study of states of altered sensitivity to catecholamines at the receptor level in man. 相似文献

1. A human cancer cell line (COLO 16) derived originally from an epidermal squamous cell carcinoma was found to possess adenylate cyclase responsiveness to beta-adrenergic agonists. 2. The adenylate cyclase response was characterized with respect to activation constants (KA) for various beta-adrenergic agonists and inhibition constants (Ki) for antagonists. 3. Intact cells responded with dose-dependent increases in production of cyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate. 4. Properties of the beta-adrenergic receptor were evaluated by using the specific binding of [3H]propranolol to cell membranes. Specific binding was saturable, with KD 5.79 nmol/l and binding sites 0.68 pmol/mg of protein. 5. Competition for binding to cell membranes was shown by beta-adrenergic agonists and antagonists and was stereospecific. There was close agreement between the affinity of these various agents on adenylate cyclase and receptor binding. 6. It is likely that the beta-adrenergic receptor-linked adenylate cyclase in COLO 16 cells represents persistence in a cancer cell line of a receptor present normally in epidermal cells. 相似文献

We studied the alterations in myocardial beta-adrenergic receptor-adenylate cyclase activity and muscarinic receptor density in a canine model of left ventricular (LV) failure. LV failure was characterized by a doubling of LV weight/body weight ratio (3.3 +/- 0.1 to 6.9 +/- 0.4 g/kg) and an elevation of LV end-diastolic pressure, 32 +/- 4.5 mmHg, compared with 7.7 +/- 0.6 mmHg in normal dogs. Despite a 44% increase in receptor density as measured by antagonist binding studies with [3H]dihydroalprenolol, there was a twofold decrease in receptor affinity, i.e., an increase in the dissociation constant (Kd) (5.6 +/- 0.7 to 12 +/- 1.6 nM) in heart failure. Agonist displacement of [3H]dihydroalprenolol binding with isoproterenol in the presence and absence of 5'-guanylylimidodiphosphate [Gpp(NH)p] demonstrated a striking loss of high affinity binding sites in heart failure (51 +/- 16 to 11 +/- 5%). Beta-Adrenergic receptor-mediated stimulation of adenylate cyclase and maximal stimulation with Gpp(NH)p or sodium fluoride was reduced in heart failure. There was a concomitant marked, P less than 0.01, reduction in muscarinic receptor density (242 +/- 19 vs. 111 +/- 20 fmol/mg). Thus, while muscarinic receptor density fell, beta-adrenergic receptor density actually increased in LV failure. However, a larger portion of the beta-adrenergic receptors are not functionally coupled to the GTP-stimulatory protein (Ns), as evidenced by a decrease in the fraction of receptors that bind agonist with high affinity. 相似文献

beta-Adrenergic receptors in mononuclear leukocyte preparations were assessed with (-)[(3)H]-dihydroalprenolol binding studies during the infusion of adrenergic agonists into normal human subjects. During the infusion of isoproterenol into seven subjects, mean (+/-SE) (-)[(3)H]dihydroalprenolol binding increased from 25+/-3 fmol/mg protein to 47+/-8 fmol/mg protein (P < 0.02) at 0.5 h and 40+/-3 fmol/mg protein (P < 0.01) at 1 h and decreased to 12+/-1 fmol/mg protein (P < 0.01) at 4-6 h. During the infusion of epinephrine into three subjects, mean (-)[(3)H]dihydroalprenolol binding increased from 32+/-3 to 63+/-3 fmol/mg protein (P < 0.01) at 0.5-1 h. By Scatchard plot analysis, these changes were attributable to changes in the number of available binding sites rather than changes in binding affinity. The observed changes in the number of (-)[(3)H]dihydroalprenolol binding sites were not paralleled by changes in total mononuclear cell counts or in T lymphocyte, B lymphocyte, and monocyte distributions. Thus, we conclude that adrenergic agonists modulate the number of available beta-adrenergic receptors on circulating mononuclear cells in a biphasic manner, with an early increment and a late decrement, in man. Further, the finding that the increase in pulse rate in response to a "pulse" infusion of isoproterenol was significantly greater after 0.5-1 h of agonist infusion suggests that the observed early agonist-induced increment in beta-adrenergic receptor number on circulating cells is paralleled by increments in extra-vascular beta-adrenergic receptor sensitivity. 相似文献

Binding of [(3)H]dihydroergocryptine to platelet lysates appears to have all the characteristics of binding to alpha-adrenergic receptors. At 25 degrees C binding reaches equilibrium within 20 min and is reversible upon addition of excess phentolamine. Binding is saturable with 183+/-22 fmol of [(3)H]dihydroergocryptine bound per mg of protein at saturation, corresponding to 220+/-26 sites per platelet. Kinetic and equilibrium studies indicate the dissociation constant of [(3)H]dihydroergocryptine for the receptors is 1-3 nM. The specificity of the binding sites is typical of an alpha-adrenergic receptor. Catecholamine agonists compete for occupancy of the [(3)H]dihydroergocryptine binding sites with an order of potency (-)epinephrine> (-)norepinephrine> (-)isoproterenol. Stereospecificity was demonstrated inasmuch as the (+)isomers of epinephrine and norepinephrine were 10-20-fold less potent than the (-)isomers. The potent alpha-adrenergic antagonists phentolamine, phenoxybenzamine, and yohimbine competed potently for the sites, whereas beta-antagonists such as propranolol and dichlorisoproterenol were quite weak. Dopamine and serotonin competed only at high concentrations (0.1 mM).The [(3)H]dihydroergocryptine binding sites could also be demonstrated in intact platelets where they displayed comparable specificity, stereospecificity, and saturability. Saturation binding studies with the intact platelets indicated 220+/-45 receptors per platelet, in good agreement with the value derived from studies with platelet lysates. Ability of alpha-adrenergic agonists to inhibit adenylate cyclase and of alpha-adrenergic antagonists to antagonize this inhibitory effect directly paralleled ability to interact with the [(3)H]dihydroergocryptine binding sites. These data demonstrate the feasibility of directly studying alpha-adrenergic receptor binding sites in human platelets with [(3)H]dihydroergocryptine. 相似文献

We have investigated alterations in beta adrenergic receptor binding sites of rat reticulocytes occurring in animals rendered hypothyroid by thyroidectomy. Beta adrenergic receptor interactions were assessed by measuring the number of (-)[3H]-dihydroalprenolol binding sites and the ability of an agonist to compete for occupancy of the receptors. The number of receptors was significantly reduced in cells from the hypothyroid animals. In addition, there were significant agonist-specific alterations in binding. Using computer assisted curve fitting techniques, it was found that the ability of (-)isoproterenol to stabilize a high affinity guanine nucleotide sensitive "coupled" form of the receptor was impaired. Reticulocytes from hypothyroid animals have, in addition, a reduction in the concentration of the nucleotide regulatory protein as assessed by the number of 42,000 Mr substrates for cholera toxin catalyzed ADP ribosylation. These alterations are associated with reductions in catecholamine and NaF stimulated adenylate cyclase activity. Diminished coupling of beta adrenergic receptors with other regulatory components of the adenylate cyclase system represents a mechanism by which altered thyroid states modulate beta adrenergic receptor function and beta adrenergic responsiveness of tissues. 相似文献

In vitro culture of human peripheral blood lymphocytes with the beta-adrenergic catecholamine isoproterenol for 24 hours, induced homologous beta-adrenergic desensitization, i.e. a large decrease in the number of beta-adrenergic binding sites and loss of the adenylate cyclase response to isoproterenol, without altering the effectiveness of prostaglandin E1 to stimulate the enzyme. Lymphocyte cultures pulsed for 24 hours with isoproterenol, washed free of the agent and cultured in hormone-free medium for 48 hours still showed marked suppression of the beta-adrenergic adenylate cyclase response and a lack of beta-receptors. When prednisolone was added to the isoproterenol-depleted resuspension medium of desensitized lymphocytes, however, the beta-adrenergic system recovered fully within 48 hours. Treatment of desensitized lymphocytes with prednisolone in the continuous presence of isoproterenol failed to restore beta-adrenergic responsiveness of the cells. The results are discussed with respect to the reconstituting effect of prednisolone on beta-adrenergic responsiveness in bronchial asthma after therapy induced tachyphylaxis. 相似文献

Human leukocytes have been useful in studying desensitization phenomena to beta-adrenergic agonists in a number of clinical conditions. For example, we have previously shown that oral terbutaline causes a time-dependent decrease in neutrophil (PMN) beta receptor number, using the beta antagonist ligand [3H]dihydroalprenolol (DHA), in conjunction with a significant loss of isoproterenol-induced adenylate cyclase activity. In the present in vitro study we have explored the mechanism for beta-adrenergic desensitization and have compared conditions for homologous and heterologous desensitization, using the intact PMN model. PMN preincubated with isoproterenol (10(-4)M), washed thoroughly, then restimulated, desensitize rapidly so that within 10 min 80% of control isoproterenol-induced cyclic AMP stimulation is lost. Cells washed free of isoproterenol recover full responsiveness in 1 to 2 hr. The estimated isoproterenol desensitization EC50 in cells washed and then restimulated is 1 X 10(-5)M, and the EC50 in unwashed cells that are restimulated is 9 X 10(-8)M. Rank-order potency studies of catecholamine desensitization show isoproterenol greater than epinephrine greater than norepinephrine, a beta-2 pattern. Isoproterenol-induced desensitization results in a small reduction in [3H]DHA binding sites, which becomes statistically significant (p less than 0.05) from control values at 1 hr (67% of control) and 3 hr (64%). Since the change in number of beta receptors did not explain the profound, rapid loss of beta agonist-induced cyclic AMP responsiveness, we explored the possibility of an uncoupling phenomenon. In the absence of GTP, isoproterenol binding is characterized by an EC50 of 6.6 +/- 2.6 X 10(-7)M, which is significantly different (p less than 0.05) from the EC50 of 38.1 +/- 9.1 X 10(-7)M found when cells are previously desensitized with isoproterenol for 10 min. GTP does not affect the EC50 of desensitized cells. These findings are consistent with the uncoupled receptor state fitting the model described by Su et al. Finally, prolonged (3 hr) isoproterenol preincubation results in a small but significant (p less than 0.05) loss of cyclic AMP responsiveness to histamine (67.7% +/- 11.7 of control) and PGE1 (59.3% +/- 7.4), suggesting heterologous desensitization. These studies suggest that the human PMN is a suitable model to study both homologous and heterologous desensitization in vitro. 相似文献

We have tested the beta adrenergic receptor theory of bronchial asthma by determining the number and affinity of binding sites of the beta adrenergic radioligand [(3)H]dihydroalprenolol (DHA) and the activity of adenylate cyclase in broken cell preparations of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN). We studied 31 control subjects (group 1), 30 asthmatics receiving no systemic adrenergic medication (group 2), and 17 asthmatics receiving adrenergic agonists systemically (group 3). Control subjects and asthmatics taking no adrenergic drugs bound similar amounts of DHA at 0.5 nM and 30 nM DHA and had about 900 binding sites per PMN. In contrast, asthmatics receiving adrenergic agonists had a >70% decrease in their number of DHA binding sites per PMN (254+/-57). In a subset of our three groups of subjects (eight from group 1, six from group 2, and five from group 3) we measured DHA binding at several DHA concentrations and found similar values (0.4-0.7 nM) for the dissociation constant of DHA among these subjects.In further studies we examined the interaction of the agonist (-)-isoproterenol with beta adrenergic receptors in 8 normal subjects and 10 asthmatics not receiving adrenergic medication. We tested the ability of isoproterenol to compete for DHA binding sites and to stimulate adenylate cyclase in sonicates prepared from PMN and examined under identical conditions. The dissociation constants for the competition of isoproterenol for DHA binding sites in normal and asthmatic subjects were virtually identical ( approximately 1.0 muM). In addition, the (activation constant) values for stimulation of adenylate cyclase were similar (0.16-0.19 muM) in the two groups of subjects.Thus, these data suggest that asthma per se is not associated with alteration in either the number or affinity of beta adrenergic receptors in PMN. Our findings indicate that previous reports of abnormal beta adrenergic receptor function in asthmatic patients may in part be explained by prior treatment of such patients with adrenergic agonists. Because the asthmatics who received adrenergic agonists in our study tended to be more ill and to receive additional medication compared to subjects in group 2, we cannot rule out unequivocally that severe asthma may be associated with decreased binding to beta adrenergic receptors. Nevertheless, we conclude that beta adrenergic receptors on PMN from asthmatics are relatively normal unless such patients are treated with adrenergic agonists. 相似文献

The myocardial responsiveness of conscious, instrumental dogs to exogenously administered isoproterenol and norepinephrine was investigated in neonatal, 6-wk-old, and adult animals. Comparable base-line values for peak left ventricular derivative of pressure with respect to time were observed in all age categories. However, when compared with adult responses, the sympathomimetic amine-induced increases in neonatal left ventricular dP/dt were significantly blunted at each concentration of adrenergic agonist examined, whereas the 6-wk-old puppies displayed an intermediate inotropic response. To investigate the cellular mechanisms of this blunted neonatal response, we correlated physiologic and biochemical measurements of the myocardial responses to catecholamines in each age category. When compared with adult myocardial membrane preparations, neonatal cardiac membranes were characterized in vitro by an increased density of beta-adrenergic binding sites, comparable affinity for adrenergic agonists and antagonists, and an enhanced coupling of adenylate cyclase activation to receptor occupancy. Simultaneous changes in either the serum catecholamine concentration or the membrane content of other intrinsic proteins failed to account for the observed neonatal increase in beta-adrenergic receptor density. These findings are most consistent with a compensatory mechanism of the cardiac cell membrane, whereby an inherent depression in the adrenergic responsiveness of the immature myocardium appears to induce the increase in receptor density and activation of adenylate cyclase. 相似文献

Characterization of beta adrenoceptor subtypes in canine airway smooth muscle by radioligand binding and physiological responses 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Beta adrenoceptor subtypes in canine tracheal smooth muscle have been investigated by radioligand binding and by physiological responses to beta agonists and sympathetic nerve stimulation in vitro. Specific binding of [3H]dihydroalprenolol to tracheal smooth muscle membranes was of high affinity (Kd = 1.0 +/- 0.08 nM), as in peripheral lung membranes from the same animals, but the concentration of binding sites (95.6 +/- 4.7 fmol/mg of protein) was much lower than in lung (532 +/- 48 fmol/mg of protein). Binding was stereoselective and agonists competed with the rank order of potency isoproterenol greater than epinephrine greater than norepinephrine, signifying a preponderance of beta-2 receptors. Using selective beta antagonists, we determined the ratio of beta-1/beta-2 receptors in tracheal smooth muscle membranes to be 1:4. The relaxation response of tracheal smooth muscle strips to exogenous beta agonists was mediated by beta-2 receptors, with a very small contribution from beta-1 receptors. However, the relaxation response to electrical field stimulation of sympathetic nerves was mediated predominantly by beta-1 receptors. Our results suggest that most beta receptors in dog tracheal smooth muscle are of the beta-2 subtype and mediate responses to circulating catecholamines, but there is a small concentration of beta-1 receptors which mediate the response to neurally released norepinephrine. 相似文献

3H-l-Alprenolol, a potent competitive beta adrenergic antagonist, binds to sites in rat pineal gland membranes. The properties of these binding sites were compared to those of the receptors which mediate the beta adrenergic activation of pineal adenylate cyclase. Both sites are highly stereospecific. The l-stereoisomers of alprenolol and propranolol were at least two orders of magnitude more potent than the d-stereoisomers in inhibiting isoproterenol-stimulated adenylate cyclase or 3H-l-alprenolol binding. The dissociation constants (Kd) of the l-stereoisomers of both alprenolol and propranolol were 10 to 22 nM as determined by competition for binding sites or by inhibition of isoproternol-stimulated adenylate cyclase. Beta adrenergic agonists which stimulated adenylate cyclase also competitively inhibited the binding of 3H-l-alprenolol. They showed the same order of potency (isoproterenol greater than norepinephrine greater than or equal to epinephrine) and the same individual affinities in the two systems. Alpha adrenergic blockers were ineffective in inhibiting either adenylate cyclase stimulation or 3H-l-alprenolol binding. Isoproternol stimulation of adenylate cyclase acrivity, and 3H-l-alprenolol binding, were rapid and rapidly reversible. The 3H-l-alprenolol binding sites were saturable and bound 0.6 pmol of ligand per mg of added protein. The data suggest that the binding of 3H-l-alprenolol occurs at sites indistinguishable from the pineal beta adrenergic receptor. 相似文献

Norepinephrine and BRL 37344 stimulate adenylate cyclase by different receptors in rat brown adipose tissue 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The beta adrenergic activation of adenylate cyclase was examined in membrane homogenates of rat interscapular brown adipose tissue (IBAT). In control membranes, isoproterenol and norepinephrine (NE) stimulated adenylate cyclase with activation constants of about 20 and 300 nM, respectively. Exposure of rats to 4 degrees C for 3 days increased the maximal stimulation of adenylate cyclase to these agonists but did not alter the respective activation constants. The beta 1-selective antagonist 1-(2-cyanophenoxy)-3-beta-(3-phenylureido)ethylamino-2-pr opa nol blocked isoproterenol stimulation of adenylate cyclase in control and cold-exposed membranes at a concentration 100 times lower than did the beta 2-selective antagonist erythro-dl-1-(7-methylindan-4-yloxy)-3-isopropylaminobuta n-2-ol. These data indicate that typical adrenergic agonists stimulate IBAT adenylate cyclase via beta 1 receptors. (R*,R*)-4-[2-[2 [9 3-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxyethyl]amino)propyl) phenyl]phenoxyacetic acid (BRL 37344), an atypical agonist with activity at the beta 3 receptor, stimulated adenylate cyclase in control membranes with an activation constant of approximately 700 nM. Membranes of cold-exposed rats exhibited a high affinity response to BRL 37344 similar to that seen in control membranes and, in addition, a low affinity response. BRL 37344 stimulation of adenylate cyclase was unaffected by 1-(2-cyanophenoxy)-3-beta-(3-phenylureido)ethyl-amino-2-prop anol, whereas stimulation by NE or epinephrine was potently blocked.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Human platelets aggregate and undergo a release reaction when incubated with catecholamines. Indirect evidence indicates that these events are mediated through alpha-adrenergic receptors. We used [(3)H]dihydroergocryptine, an alpha-adrenergic antagonist, to identify binding sites on platelets that have the characteristics of alpha-adrenergic receptors. Catecholamines compete for the binding sites in a stereo-specific manner with the potency series of (-) epinephrine > (-) norepinephrine > (+/-) phenylephrine > (-) isoproterenol. The dissociation constant (K(d)) of (-) epinephrine is 0.34 muM. Binding is saturable using a platelet particulate fraction but not with intact platelets. There are 0.130 pmol binding sites per milligram protein in fresh platelet membranes. This number represents approximately 100 binding sites per platelet. The K(d) for [(3)H]-dihydroergocryptine was 0.003-0.01 muM. The alpha-adrenergic antagonist phentolamine (K(d) = 0.0069 muM) was much more potent than the beta-adrenergic antagonist (+/-) propranolol (K(d) = 27 muM) in competing for the binding sites. The binding data were correlated with catecholamine-induced platelet aggregation and inhibition of basal and prostaglandin E(1)-stimulated adenylate cyclase. (-) Epinephrine was more potent than (-) norepinephrine in producing aggregation whereas (-) isoproterenol was ineffective. The threshold dose for inducing aggregation by (-) epinephrine was 0.46 muM. Phentolamine and dihydroergocyrptine blocked this response, whereas (+/-) propranolol had no effect. (-) Epinephrine and (-) norepinephrine inhibited basal and prostaglandin E(1)-stimulated adenylate cyclase in a dose-related manner. The concentration of (-) epinephrine inhibiting adenylate cyclase 50% was 0.7 muM. This inhibition was also blocked by phentolamine and dihydroergocryptine but not by (+/-) propranolol. The specificity of binding and the close correlation with alpha-adrenergic receptor-mediated biochemical and physiological responses suggest that the [(3)H]dihydroergocryptine binding site represents, or is closely related to, the human platelet alpha-adrenergic receptor. The ability to assay this receptor directly and to correlate these data with independently measured sequelae of receptor activation should facilitate increased understanding of the physiology and pathophysiology of the human platelet alpha-adrenergic receptor. 相似文献

Human adipose tissue contains alpha- as well as beta-adrenoceptor sites mediating antagonistic catecholamine effects on lipolysis. To characterize the mechanisms of catecholamine action in biochemical terms we have studied the effects of the almost pure beta-adrenoceptor agonist isoproterenol and of the mixed adrenergic agonist adrenaline on human fat cell adenylate cyclase in the presence of alpha- and beta-adrenoceptor blocking drugs. In contrast to the almost pure beta-adrenergic agent isoproterenol, the mixed agonist adrenaline, besides its stimulatory action, also had inhibitory effects which became apparent upon complete beta-adrenoceptor blockade using 0.05 mmol/l propranolol. Under these conditions adrenaline caused a dose-dependent inhibition of basal and parathyroid hormone-activated enzymic activity with a maximum of 30-50%, which was dependent on GTP and could be reversed by simultaneous alpha-adrenergic blockade using 5 mumol/l dihydroergotamine or 10 mumol/l phentolamine. These results support the concept of antogonistic alpha- and beta-adrenoceptor sites coexisting as regulatory subunits of the human fat cell adenylate cyclase. 相似文献

The receptor alterations involved in catecholamine-induced desensitization of adenylate cyclase in human neutrophils have been investigated as has the ability of hydrocortisone to modify such alterations. Incubation of human neutrophils with isoproterenol for 3 h in vitro resulted in an 86% reduction in the ability of isoproterenol to stimulate cyclic AMP accumulation in the cells. Two types of receptor alterations were documented. There was a 40% reduction in the number of beta adrenergic receptors (42 vs. 25 fmol/mg protein, P < 0.005) present after desensitization as assessed by [3H]dihydroalprenolol ([3H]DHA) binding. In addition the receptors appeared to be relatively uncoupled from adenylate cyclase. This uncoupling was assessed by examining the ability of the agonist isoproterenol to stabilize a high-affinity form of the receptor, detected by computer modelling of competition curves for [3H]DHA binding. Desensitized receptors were characterized by rightward-shifted agonist competition curves. When hydrocortisone was added to the desensitizing incubations (combined treatment) there was a statistically significant attenuation in the desensitization process as assessed by the ability of isoproterenol to increase cyclic AMP levels in the cells. Although combined treatment did not prevent the decline in receptor number, it did attenuate the uncoupling of the receptors. Combined treatment resulted in competition curves intermediate between the control and the rightward-shifted desensitization curves. Prednisolone was similar to hydrocortisone in attenuating isoproterenol-induced uncoupling. Thus, steroids appeared to attenuate agonist-induced desensitization of the beta adrenergic receptor-adenylate cyclase system by dampening the ability of agonists to uncouple receptors without modifying their ability to promote down-regulation of beta adrenergic receptors. 相似文献

Intact lymphocytes from patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) produce significantly (P less than 0.001) less adenosine 3':5' cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) than normal lymphocytes in response to isoproterenol (10(-8)-10(-4) M), although the basal cAMP content and the response to prostaglandin E1 are normal. Obligate heterozygotes for CF have significantly (P less than 0.005) reduced cAMP response to isoproterenol as well, suggesting a genetic component in the beta adrenergic deficiency in CF. The number of beta adrenergic receptors, as determined by equilibrium binding of [3H]dihydroalprenolol to lymphocyte particulates, is the same in normal lymphocytes (969 +/- 165 receptors/cell) and lymphocytes from patients with CF (1,333 +/- 263 receptors/cell). Binding properties of the receptor for both antagonist and agonist, as assessed by KD for dihydroalprenolol and Ki for (-)-isoproterenol, are also normal in the CF lymphocytes. Similarly, in granulocytes from patients with CF, the cAMP response to isoproterenol (10(-8)-10(-4) M) is significantly reduced compared with healthy controls (P less than 0.03), as is the response of granulocytes from obligate heterozygotes (P less than 0.05). Again, the basal cAMP levels and the response to prostaglandin E1 are normal. The number of beta adrenergic receptors, as determined by equilibrium binding of [3H]dihydroalprenolol to granulocyte particulates, was the same in normal (1,462 +/- 249 receptors/cell) and CF (1,621 +/- 221 receptors/cell) preparations. Binding properties of the receptor for both agonist and antagonist, as assessed by KD for dihydroalprenolol and Ki for isoproterenol, are normal in CF granulocyte particulates. The lymphocyte and granulocyte beta adrenergic defect in CF cannot be explained by abnormalities of the beta adrenergic receptor or of adenylate cyclase itself. Receptor-cyclase coupling is the most likely site of the heritable beta adrenergic defect in CF. 相似文献

Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)-responsive adenylate cyclase and VIP binding sites were investigated in membranes prepared from ciliary processes dissected from albino rabbit eyes. High-affinity binding sites for VIP (Kd, 0.95 nM; 607 fmol/mg of protein), in addition to beta adrenergic sites labeled by dihydroalprenolol (Kd, 0.48 nM; 123 fmol/mg of protein), were present. Activation of adenylate cyclase by VIP had a Ka of 65 nM, and the maximal response was 3.3-fold greater than that for I-isoproterenol (Ka, 102 nM). A peptide fragment of VIP (sequence 10-28) was inactive in all assays and did not inhibit VIP-stimulated adenylate cyclase at 10 microM. Responses to VIP and isoproterenol in combination were additive at lower doses but less than additive at maximal doses. Responses to VIP in combination with a low dose of forskolin (0.1 microM) were potentiated at all dose levels, whether assays were done in presence of MgCl2 or MnCl2. VIP- and forskolin-activated adenylate cyclase was associated with the nonpigmented epithelial cell fraction and not with pigmented epithelial cells separated on Percoll density gradients after dissociation of cells from processes by collagenase digestion. Intravitreous injection of 10 nmol of VIP into the rabbit eye caused a maximal reduction in intraocular pressure at 40 to 50 hr lasting beyond 72 hr. VIP-responsive and beta adrenergic-responsive adenylate cyclase are present on the same cell type (nonpigmented epithelial cells) and appear to share components of the adenylate cyclase system in the same membrane. VIP may participate in the physiologic regulation of aqueous humor secretion at the level of the epithelial cell membrane. 相似文献

Adenosine receptors in a spontaneously contracting atrial myocyte culture from 14-day chick embryos were characterized by radioligand binding studies and by examining the involvement of G-protein in coupling these receptors to a high-affinity state and to the adenylate cyclase and the myocyte contractility. Binding of the antagonist radioligand [3H]-8-cyclopentyl-1,3-diproylxanthine ([3H]CPX) was rapid, reversible and saturable and was to a homogeneous population of sites with a Kd value of 2.1 +/- 0.2 nM and an apparent maximum binding of 26.2 +/- 3 fmol/mg of protein (n = 10, +/- S.E.). Guanyl-5-yl-(beta, gamma-imido)diphosphate had no effect on either the Kd or the maximum binding and CPX reversed the N6-R-phenyl-2-propyladenosine-induced inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity and contractility, indicating that [3H] CPX is an antagonist radioligand. Competition curves for [3H] CPX binding by a series of reference adenosine agonists were consistent with labeling of an A1 adenosine receptor and were better fit by a two-site model than by a one-site model. ADP-ribosylation of the G-protein by the endogenous NAD+ in the presence of pertussis toxin shifted the competition curves from bi to monophasic with Ki values similar to those of the KL observed in the absence of prior pertussis intoxication. The adenosine agonists were capable of inhibiting both the adenylate cyclase activity and myocyte contractility in either the absence or the presence of isoproterenol. The A1 adenosine receptor-selective antagonist CPX reversed these agonist effects. The order of ability of the reference adenosine receptor agonists in causing these inhibitory effects was similar to the order of potency of the same agonists in inhibiting the specific [3H]CPX binding (N6-R-phenyl-2-propyladenosine greater than N6-S-phenyl-2-propyladenosine or N-ethyladenosine-5'-uronic acid). These data indicate that the adenosine receptor coupled to inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity and to the negative inotropic effect is the A1 subtype. Pertussis treatment uncoupled the adenosine receptor from both inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity and negative inotropic effect. Taken together, the present study indicates that adenosine receptors of the A1 subtype are present on the spontaneously contracting atrial myocytes and are negatively coupled to adenylate cyclase and to the contractile state. The cultured embryonic chick atrial myocyte preparation represents a useful model system for characterizing the cardiac A1 adenosine receptor. 相似文献

The present study chartacterizes myocardial effects of two new histaminergic H2-receptor specific compounds, impromidine, and dimaprit, on cardiac contractile and metabolic parameters of the guinea pig heart and human papillary muscle in comparison to the well-known effects of catecholamines. Impromidine and dimaprit produced a dose-dependent stimulation of the right and left ventricular contractile force in the isolated perfused biventricular catheterized guinea pig heart with maximal stimulation rates equal to those of isoproterenol. Hemodynamic equieffective doses of isoproterenol (2.8X10(-9) mol/l), histamine (1.1X10(-5) mol/l), impromidine (4.6X10(-7) mol/l, and dimaprit (8.5X10(-6) mol/l) induced nearly identical increases in tissue concentrations of c-AMP. All compounds dose-dependently enhanced the activity of the myocardial adenylate cyclase with very similar KA-values in a particulate sarcolemmal membrane preparation of both guinea pig ventricles and human papillary muscles. No effect of either compound was seen on cardiac phosphodiesterase activity. Selective administration of the beta1-blocking agent metoprolol and the H2-receptor antagonist cimetidine clearly discriminates two independent receptors linked to the sarcolemmal adenylate cyclase system in the guinea pig and human myocardium. This is further supported by results obtained from beta-receptor-binding studies in which an interference of impromidine and dimaprit with the stereospecific binding of (-)[3H]-dihydroalprenolol to cardiac beta-receptors could be definitely excluded. The possible therapeutic role of both H2-agonists on the non-ischemic, surviving myocardium, which is transiently refractory to beta-adrenergic stimulation by catecholamines after myocardial infarction, will be discussed. 相似文献
