Abstract: | Recent realization of ligand-directed functional selectivity demands high-resolution tools for studying receptor biology and ligand pharmacology. Here we use label-free optical biosensor to examine the dynamic mass redistribution of human epidermoid A431 cells in response to diverse beta(2)-adrenoceptor ligands. Multi-parameter analysis reveals distinct patterns in activation and signaling of the receptor induced by different agonists. Sequential and co-stimulation assays categorize various ligands for their ability to modulate signaling induced by catechol, a structural component of catecholamines. This study documents multiple ligand-specific states of the beta(2)-adrenoceptor and highlights the power of the biosensor assays for screening pathway-biased ligands. |
