To identify the involvement of dopamine receptors in the transmembrane signaling of the adenosine receptor-G protein-adenylate cyclase system in the CNS, we examined the effects of pertussis toxin (islet-activating protein, IAP) and apomorphine on A1 adenosine agonist (-)N6-R-[3H]phenylisopropyladenosine ([3H]PIA) and antagonist [3H]xanthine amine congener ([3H]XAC) binding activity and adenylate cyclase activity in cerebral cortex membranes of the rat brain. Specific binding to a single class of sites for [3H]XAC with a dissociation constant (KD) of 6.0 +/- 1.3 nM was observed. The number of maximal binding sites (Bmax) was 1.21 +/- 0.13 pmol/mg protein. Studies of the inhibition of [3H]XAC binding by PIA revealed the presence of two classes of PIA binding states, a high-affinity state (KD = 2.30 +/- 1.16 nM) and a low-affinity state (KD = 1.220 +/- 230 nM). Guanosine 5'-(3-O-thio)triphosphate or IAP treatment reduced the number of the high-affinity state binding sites without altering the KD for PIA. Apomorphine (100 microM) increased the KD value 10-fold and decreased Bmax by approximately 20% for [3H]PIA. The effect of apomorphine on the KD value increase was irreversible and due to a conversion from high-affinity to low-affinity states for PIA. The effect was dose dependent and was mediated via D2 dopamine receptors, since the D2 antagonist sulpiride blocked the phenomenon. The inhibitory effect of PIA on adenylate cyclase activity was abolished by apomorphine treatment. There was no effect of apomorphine on displacement of [3H]quinuclidinyl benzilate (muscarinic ligand) binding by carbachol. These data suggest that A1 adenosine receptor binding and function are selectively modified by D2 dopaminergic agents. 相似文献

Purified bovine myometrial plasma membranes were used to characterize prostaglandin (PG) E2 binding. Two binding sites were found: a high-affinity site with a dissociation constant (KD) of 0.27 +/- 0.08 nM and maximum binding (Bmax) of 102.46 +/- 8.6 fmol/mg membrane protein, and a lower affinity site with a KD = 6.13 +/- 0.50 nM and Bmax = 467.93 +/- 51.63 fmol/mg membrane protein. Membrane characterization demonstrated that [3H]PGE2 binding was localized in the plasma membrane. In binding competition experiments, unlabelled PGE1 displaced [3H]PGE2 from its receptor at the same concentrations as did PGE2. Neither PGF2 alpha nor PGD2 effectively competed for [3H]PGE2 binding. Adenylyl cyclase activity was inhibited at concentrations of PGE2 that occupy the high-affinity receptor. These data demonstrate that two receptor sites, or states of binding within a single receptor, are present for PGE2 in purified myometrial membranes. PGE2 inhibition of adenylyl cyclase activity support the view that cAMP has a physiological role in the regulation of myometrial contractility by PGE2. 相似文献

We have previously demonstrated that high-affinity PGE receptors are present on purified cardiac sarcolemmal (SL) membrane from bovine heart (Lopaschuk et al. (1989) Circ. Res. 65, 538-545). In this study we determined whether PGI2 receptors are also present on the cardiac SL membrane. Due to the extreme lability of prostacyclin (PGI2) under physiological conditions, the PGI2 analogue, Iloprost was substituted for PGI2. 3H-Iloprost specifically bound to two sites on the SL membrane; one of high affinity (Kd = 0.3 nM, Bmax = 97.0 fmol/mg SL), and one of lower affinity (Kd = 20.6 nM, Bmax = 1589 fmol/mg SL). Competition studies demonstrated that the concentrations of PGE2 and PGE1 necessary to displace 50% of the specific binding of 20 nM [3H]Iloprost on cardiac SL were 15-fold lower than the concentrations of unlabelled Iloprost necessary to displace 50% of binding. In contrast, a 15-fold higher concentration of unlabelled Iloprost was needed to displaced 50% of specific binding of 2 nM [3H]PGE2 compared to the concentrations of PGE1 or PGE2 required to displace 50% of [3H]PGE2 binding. In summary, our results indicate that a prostacyclin receptor is present on the cardiac sarcolemmal membrane, and that PGI2 competes for the same receptor site as PGE2. 相似文献

In previous studies we have identified and isolated a prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) receptor from cardiac sarcolemmal (SL) membranes. Binding of PGE2 to this receptor in permeabilized SL vesicles inhibits adenylyl cyclase activity. The purpose of this study was to determine if the cardiac PGE2 receptor is coupled to adenylyl cyclase via a pertussis toxin sensitive guanine nucleotide binding inhibitory (Gi) protein. Incubation of permeabilized SL vesicles in the presence of 100 microM 5'-guanylamidiophosphate, Gpp(NH)p, a nonhydrolyzable analogue of GTP, resulted in a shift in [3H]PGE2 binding from two sites, one of high affinity (KD = 0.018 +/- 0.003 nM) comprising 7.7% of the total available binding sites and one of lower affinity (KD = 1.9 +/- 0.7 nM) to one site of intermediate affinity (KD = 0.52 +/- 0.01 nM) without a significant change in the total number of PGE2 binding sites. A shift from two binding sites to one binding site in the presence of Gpp(NH)p was also observed for [3H]dihydroalprenolol binding to permeabilized cardiac SL. When permeabilized SL vesicles were pretreated with activated pertussis toxin, ADP-ribosylation of a 40- to 41-kDa protein corresponding to Gi was observed. ADP-ribosylation of SL resulted in a shift in [3H]PGE2 binding to one site of intermediate affinity without significantly changing the number of binding sites. In alamethicin permeabilized SL vesicles, 1 nM PGE2 significantly decreased (30%) adenylyl cyclase activity. Pretreatment with activated pertussis toxin overcame the inhibitory effects of PGE2. These results demonstrate that the cardiac PGE2 receptor is coupled to adenylyl cyclase via a pertussis toxin sensitive Gi protein.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The pharmacological specificity and the regional distribution of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor-associated 5-methyl-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-5,10-imine maleate (MK-801) binding sites in human postmortem brain tissue were determined by binding studies using (+)-[3H]MK-801. Scatchard analysis revealed a high-affinity (KD = 0.9 +/- 0.2 nM, Bmax = 499 +/- 33 fmol/mg of protein) and a low-affinity (KD = 3.6 +/- 0.9 nM, Bmax = 194 +/- 44 fmol/mg of protein) binding site. The high-affinity site showed a different regional distribution of receptor density (cortex greater than hippocampus greater than striatum) compared to the low-affinity binding site (cerebellum greater than brainstem). The rank order pharmacological specificity and stereoselectivity of the high-(cortex) and low-(cerebellar) affinity binding sites were identical. However, all compounds tested showed greater potency at the high-affinity site in cortex. The results indicate that (+)-[3H]MK-801 binding in human postmortem brain tissue shows pharmacological and regional specificity. 相似文献

Effect of 5''-(N-Ethylcarboxamido)adenosine on Adenosine Transport in Cultured Chromaffin Cells 总被引:4,自引:3,他引:1

Extracellular adenosine is transported into chromaffin cells by a high-affinity transport system. The action of adenosine receptor ligands was studied in this cellular model. 5'-(N-Ethylcarboxamido)adenosine (NECA), an agonist of A2 receptors, activated adenosine transport. Km values for adenosine were 4.6 +/- 1.0 (n = 5) and 10.2 +/- 3.0 microM (n = 5) for controls and 100 nM NECA, respectively. The Vmax values were 66.7 +/- 23.5 and 170.2 +/- 30 pmol/10(6) cells/min for controls and 100 nM NECA, respectively. The A1 agonist N6-cyclohexyladenosine, the A1 antagonist 8-cyclopentyl-1, 3-dipropylxanthine, and the A1-A2 antagonist 1,3-dipropyl-8-(4-[(2-aminoethyl)amino]-carbonylmethyloxyphenyl)- xanthine did not significantly modify the adenosine transport in this system. Binding studies done with [3H]dipyridamole, a nucleoside transporter ligand, did not show changes in either the number or affinity of transporter sites after NECA treatment. This ligand can enter cells and quantifies the total number of transporters. The binding studies with [3H]-nitrobenzylthioinosine, which quantifies the plasma membrane transporters, showed a Bmax of 19,200 +/- 800 and 23,200 +/- 700 transporters/cell for controls and 100 nM NECA, respectively. No changes in the KD were obtained. The effects of NECA were not mediated through adenylate cyclase activation, because its action was not imitated by forskolin. 相似文献

Ligand-binding studies with labelled triethyltin on yeast mitochondrial membranes showed the presence of high-affinity sites (KD = 0.6 micronM; 1.2 +/- 0.3 nmol/mg of protein) and low-affinity sites (KD less than 45 micronM; 70 +/- 20 nmol/mg of protein). The dissociation constant of the high-affinity site is in good agreement with the concentration of triethyltin required for inhibition of mitochondrial ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase) and oxidative phosphorylation. The high-affinity site is not competed for by oligomycin or venturicidin, indicating that triethyltin reacts at a different site from these inhibitors of oxidative phosphorylation. Fractionation of the mitochondrial membrane shows a specific association of the high-affinity sites with the ATP synthase complex. During purification of ATP synthase (oligomycin-sensitive ATPase) there is a 5-6-fold purification of oligomycin- and triethyltin-sensitive ATPase activity concomitant with a 7-9-fold increase in high-affinity triethyltin-binding sites. The purified yeast oligomycin-sensitive ATPase complex contains approximately six binding sites for triethyltin/mol of enzyme complex. It is concluded that specific triethyltin-binding sites are components of the ATP synthase complex, which accounts for the specific inhibition of ATPase and oxidative phosphorylation by triethyltin. 相似文献

The correlation between the binding and processing of trypsin and its effect on prostacyclin (PGI2) production in cultured adult bovine aortic endothelial (ABAE) cells was studied. ABAE cells demonstrated an ability to produce PGI2 in a dose-response manner to trypsin at the range of 0.1-2.0 micrograms/ml with a saturation at a concentration of 1 microgram/ml. Likewise, 125I-trypsin binding to the cultured cells increased in a dose-response way and reached saturation at a concentration of about 1 microgram/ml; 125I-trypsin was bound to a specific high-affinity cell-surface receptor with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 1.5 X 10(-8) M and each of the confluent ABAE cells has about 1.2 X 10(5) such receptors sites. The cell-surface receptor for trypsin displayed specific characteristics and an excess amount of unlabeled trypsin successfully abolished 125I-trypsin binding while thrombin in excess failed to compete for 125I-trypsin binding. Only a small fraction of the cell-surface-bound 125I-trypsin was internalized and subsequently degraded by ABAE cells as compared to the process of 125I-trypsin internalization by human skin fibroblasts (HSF). This study demonstrated that the stimulatory effect of trypsin on prostacyclin production and release by ABAE cells might be mediated by a specific cell-surface receptor for trypsin on these cells distinct from the thrombin receptor. 相似文献

The possible role of immunomodulatory peptide somatostatin (SRIF) in measles virus (MV)-induced immunopathology was addressed by analysis of SRIF receptors and their coupling to adenylyl cyclase in mitogen-stimulated Jurkat T cells and human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). SRIF-specific receptors were assayed in semipurified membrane preparations by using SRIF14 containing iodinated tyrosine at the first position in the amino acid chain ([125I]Tyr1) as a radioligand. A determination of receptor number by saturation of radioligand binding at equilibrium showed that in Jurkat cells, MV infection led to a dramatic decrease in the total receptor number. The virus-associated disappearance of one (Ki2 = 12 +/- 4 nM [mean +/- standard error of the mean [SEM]]; n = 4) of two somatostatin binding sites identified in control Jurkat cells (Ki1 = 78 +/- 3 pM and Ki2 = 12 +/- 4 nM [mean +/- SEM]; n = 4) was also observed. Almost identical results were obtained for phytohemagglutinin-activated human PBMC. In the absence of MV infection, two somatostatin binding sites were present (Ki1 = 111 +/- 31 pM and Ki2 = 17 +/- 2 nM [mean +/- SEM]; n = 2), whereas in MV-infected cells, only the high-affinity (Ki1 = 48 +/- 15 pM [mean +/- SEM]; n = 2) binding site remained. In addition, MV infection reinforced the inhibitory effects of SRIF on adenylyl cyclase activity, since maximal inhibition at 1 microM peptide was 11% +/- 4% in control cells versus 25% +/- 3% (P < 0.05) in infected Jurkat cells. Moreover, MV infection severely impaired the capacity of adenylyl cyclase to be activated directly (by forskolin) or indirectly (via Gs protein-coupled vasoactive intestinal peptide receptor). An assessment of [methyl-3H]thymidine incorporation showed that SRIF increased proliferative responses to mitogens only in control cells, not in MV-infected cells. Altogether, our data emphasize that MV-associated alteration of SRIF transduction appears to be related to the loss of SRIF-dependent increase of mitogen-induced proliferation. 相似文献

1. In both the intact guinea pig myometrium and human platelets, cAMP accumulation was enhanced by prostaglandin I2 (prostacyclin, PGI2) and forskolin with potentiated responses in the simultaneous presence of both effectors. Under basal conditions, forskolin caused rises in platelet cAMP concentration through a single low-affinity interaction (Kapp = 90 microM) while in myometrium, activation involved both a low-affinity (Kapp = 10 microM) and a high-affinity (Kapp = 0.8 microM) component. The contribution of the high-affinity component could be reduced when endogenous PGI2 was decreased. In both tissues, the synergistic effect of forskolin in the presence of PGI2 was mediated by a single high-affinity interaction (Kapp = 0.3 microM). The data were consistent with a low-affinity interaction of the diterpene with the cyclase catalytic unit C generating the C...forskolin state and with a high-affinity interaction of the diterpene with the activated complex (stimulatory regulatory protein) and C generating the potentiated Gs-C...forskolin state. 2. Both norepinephrine in platelets and carbachol in the myometrium (via Gi, the inhibitory regulatory protein) inhibited PGI2-mediated cAMP accumulation (EC50 = 100 nM and 8 nM respectively). The persistently activated cAMP-generating system induced by cholera toxin in the myometrium was also susceptible to inhibition but the EC50 for carbachol was increased to 50 nM and the extent of inhibition was decreased. Forskolin-mediated effect in platelets was inhibited by norepinephrine as was the PGI2 response. By contrast, the synergistic state of the cyclase resisted the inhibitory action of norepinephrine and carbachol in platelets and myometrium respectively. In the myometrium, where the cAMP response due to forskolin alone partially involved some synergistic Gs-C ... forskolin species, carbachol at 50 microM elicited no more than 30% inhibition. Inhibition was partly improved (60% inhibition at 1 microM carbachol) when the contribution of the Gs-C species was decreased by lowering the concentration of local PGI2. Partial inhibition by norepinephrine was similarly observed in platelets under partial synergistic conditions. The data suggest that receptor-mediated inhibition of cAMP generation could be differentially expressed depending on the nature of the active species of the cyclase involved in the stimulatory responses. 相似文献

Recent data suggest that prostaglandins (PGs) are involved in the regulation of basophil activation. The aim of this study was to characterize the basophil PG-binding sites by means of radioreceptor assays using 3H-labeled PGs. Scatchard analysis for pure (greater than 95%) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) basophils revealed two classes of PGE1-binding sites differing in their affinity for the natural ligand (Bmax1 = 217 +/- 65 fmol/10(8) cells; Kd1 = 0.5 +/- 0.2 nM; Bmax2 = 2462 +/- 381 fmol/10(8) cells; Kd2 = 47 +/- 20 nM; IC50 = PGE1 less than PGI2 less than PGD2 less than PGE2 less than PGF2 alpha) as well as two classes of PGI2 (iloprost)-binding sites (Bmax1 = 324 +/- 145 fmol/10(8) cells; Kd1 = 0.5 +/- 0.3 nM; Bmax2 = 2541 +/- 381; Kd2 = 27 +/- 6 nM; IC50 = PGI2 less than PGE1 less than PGD2 less than PGE2 less than PGF2 alpha. In addition, CML basophils exhibited a single class of PGD2-binding sites (Bmax = 378 +/- 98 fmol/10(8) cells; Kd = 13 +/- 4 nM; IC50: PGD2 less than PGI2 less than PGE1 less than PGE2 less than PGF2 alpha). In contrast, we were unable to detect specific saturable PGE2-binding sites. Primary and immortalized (KU812) CML basophils revealed an identical pattern of PG receptor expression. Basophils (KU812) expressed significantly (p less than 0.001) lower number of PGE1 (PGI2)-binding sites (Bmax1: 9% (20%) of control; Bmax2: 36% (50%) of control) when cultured with recombinant interleukin 3 (rhIL-3), a basophil-activating cytokine, whereas rhIL-2 had no effect on PG receptor expression. Functional significance of binding of PGs to basophils was provided by the demonstration of a dose-dependent increase in cellular cAMP upon agonist activation, with PGE1 (ED50 = 1.7 +/- 1.1 nM) and PGI2 (ED50 = 2.8 +/- 2.3 nM) being the most potent compounds. These findings suggest that human basophils express specific receptors for PGE1, PGI2 as well as for PGD2. 相似文献

Properties of prostaglandin (PG) I2-binding sites in human thyroids from euthyroid and thyrotoxic patients were investigated. The specific binding of 3H-iloprost (ZK 36374, a chemically stable PGI2-analogue) to normal thyroids approached saturation at a concentration of more than 150 nmoles/L and could be displaced most effectively by unlabeled iloprost (concentration causing the half maximal inhibition, IC-50 = 5.9 +/- 2.9 mumoles/L) and PGI2 (IC-50 = 9.8 +/- 3.1 mumoles/L) and less effectively by unlabeled PGF2 alpha (IC-50 = 847.9 +/- 123.8 mumoles/L) at 4 degrees C. The Scatchard analysis clearly indicated heterogeneity revealing the presence of 0.65 +/- 0.18 pmoles/mg protein at the high-affinity binding sites (equilibrium dissociation constant, Kd = 18.2 +/- 9.1 nmoles/L) and 5.35 +/- 1.6 pmoles/mg protein at the low-affinity binding sites (Kd = 151.3 +/- 43.1 nmoles/L). In contrast, in diffuse colloid struma derived from patients with Graves' disease a single class of binding sites with an apparent binding capacity of 0.18 +/- 0.05 pmoles/mg protein (Kd = 70.4 +/- 27.3 nmoles/L) was indicated. However, in diffuse colloid struma derived from euthyroid patients no difference in the number of binding sites and binding affinity of 3H-iloprost was noted compared to normal thyroids. The data provide evidence for the presence of specific PGI2-binding sites in the human thyroid gland and demonstrate a significant decrease of the receptor density in patients with Graves' disease. It is suggested, that PGI2 has an important role in the regulation of human thyroid function. 相似文献

Cloning and functional expression of the hNPY Y5 receptor in human endometrial cancer (HEC-1B) cells
Moser C Bernhardt G Michel J Schwarz H Buschauer A 《Canadian journal of physiology and pharmacology》2000,78(2):134-142
Aiming to develop a functional assay for the human NPY Y5 receptor based on adenylyl cyclase activity, HEC-1B cells, in which cAMP synthesis can be efficiently stimulated with forskolin, were selected for the transfection with the pcDNA3-Y5-FLAG and the pcDEF3-Y5 vectors. After optimization of the transfection procedure, the binding of [3H]propionyl-NPY to transiently and stably expressed Y5 receptors was determined. The affinities of NPY, NPY derivatives, and rPP (pNPY > or = p(Leu31Pro34)NPY = p(2-36)NPY > or = p(D-Trp32)NPY > p(13-36)NPY > rPP) were in accordance with the NPY Y5 receptor subtype. For [3H]propionyl-pNPY approximately 1.7 x 10(5) and 1 x 10(6) binding sites per transiently and stably transfected cell, respectively, were determined. The KD values were 2.4 +/- 0.4 and 1.7 +/-0.2 nM, respectively. Due to the high expression of the receptor protein, both stably and transiently transfected cells can be conveniently used in routine radioligand binding studies. By contrast, functional assays were only feasible with HEC-1B cells stably expressing the Y5 receptor. In these cells, 10 nM pNPY inhibited the forskolin-stimulated cAMP synthesis by 75%. This effect was partially antagonized by the Y5 antagonist N-?trans-[4-(2-naphthylmethylamino)-methyl]cyclohexylmethyl) naphthalene-2-sulfonamide. Although the genetic variability of cancer cells is in principle incompatible with a stable phenotype, both ligand binding characteristics and functionality of the Y5 receptor remained unchanged for more than 30 passages. 相似文献

The human platelet contains a functional 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptor that appears to resemble the 5-HT2 subtype. In this study, we have used the iodinated derivative [125I]iodolysergic acid diethylamide ([125I]iodoLSD) in an attempt to label 5-HT receptors in human platelet and frontal cortex membranes under identical assay conditions to compare the sites labelled in these two tissues. In human frontal cortex, [125I]iodoLSD labelled a single high-affinity site (KD = 0.35 +/- 0.02 nM). Displacement of specific [125I]iodoLSD binding indicated a typical 5-HT2 receptor inhibition profile, which demonstrated a significant linear correlation (r = 0.97, p less than 0.001, n = 17) with that observed using [3H]ketanserin. However, [125I]iodoLSD (Bmax = 136 +/- 7 fmol/mg of protein) labelled significantly fewer sites than [3H]ketanserin (Bmax = 258 +/- 19 fmol/mg of protein) (p less than 0.001, n = 6). In human platelet membranes, [125I]iodoLSD labelled a single site with affinity (KD = 0.37 +/- 0.03 nM) similar to that in frontal cortex. The inhibition profile in the platelet showed significant correlation with that in frontal cortex (r = 0.96, p less than 0.001, n = 16). We conclude that the site labelled by [125I]iodoLSD in human platelet membranes is biochemically similar to that in frontal cortex and most closely resembles the 5-HT2 receptor subtype, although the discrepancy in binding capacities of [125I]iodoLSD and [3H]ketanserin raises a question about the absolute nature of this receptor. 相似文献

The binding of substance P (SP) to receptors in peripheral tissues as well as in the CNS is subject to regulation by guanine nucleotides. In this report, we provide direct evidence that this effect is mediated by a guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory protein (G-protein) that is required for high-affinity binding of SP to its receptor. Rat submaxillary gland membranes bind a conjugate of SP and 125I-labeled Bolton-Hunter reagent (125I-BHSP) with high affinity (KD = 1.2 +/- 0.4 X 10(-9) M) and sensitivity to guanine nucleotide inhibition. Treatment of the membranes with alkaline buffer (pH 11.5) causes a loss of the high-affinity, GTP-sensitive binding of 125I-BHSP and a parallel loss of [35S]guanosine 5'-(3-O-thio)triphosphate ([35S]GTP gamma S) binding activity. Addition of purified G-proteins from bovine brain to the alkaline-treated membranes restores high-affinity 125I-BHSP binding. Reconstitution is maximal when the G-proteins are incorporated into the alkaline-treated membranes at a 30-fold stoichiometric excess of GTP gamma S binding sites over SP binding sites. Both Go (a pertussis toxin-sensitive G-protein having a 39,000-dalton alpha-subunit) and Gi (the G-protein that mediates inhibition of adenylate cyclase) appear to be equally effective, whereas the isolated alpha-subunit of Go is without effect. The effects of added G-proteins are specifically reversed by guanine nucleotides over the same range of nucleotide concentrations that decreases high-affinity binding of 125I-BHSP to native membranes.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The appearance of mu-, delta-, and kappa-opioid receptors was examined in primary cultures of embryonic rat brain. Membranes prepared from striatal, hippocampal, and hypothalamic neurons grown in dissociated cell culture each exhibited high-affinity opioid binding sites as determined by equilibrium binding of the universal opioid ligand (-)-[3H]bremazocine. The highest density of binding sites (per mg of protein) was found in membranes prepared from cultured striatal neurons (Bmax = 210 +/- 40 fmol/mg protein); this density is approximately two-thirds that of adult striatal membranes. By contrast, membranes of cultured cerebellar neurons and cultured astrocytes were devoid of opioid binding sites. The opioid receptor types expressed in cultured striatal neurons were characterized by equilibrium binding of highly selective radioligands. Scatchard analysis of binding of the mu-specific ligand [3H]D-Ala2,N-Me-Phe4,Gly-ol5-enkephalin to embryonic striatal cell membranes revealed an apparent single class of sites with an affinity (KD) of 0.4 +/- 0.1 nM and a density (Bmax) of 160 +/- 20 fmol/mg of protein. Specific binding of (-)-[3H]bremazocine under conditions in which mu- and delta-receptor binding was suppressed (kappa-receptor labeling conditions) occurred to an apparent single class of sites (KD = 2 +/- 1 nM; Bmax = 40 +/- 15 fmol/mg of protein). There was no detectable binding of the selective delta-ligand [3H]D-Pen2,D-Pen5-enkephalin. Thus, cultured striatal neurons expressed mu- and kappa-receptor sites at densities comparable to those found in vivo for embryonic rat brain, but not delta-receptors. 相似文献

1. The effect of melatonin on forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity was measured in homogenates of Syrian hamster hypothalamus. In addition, the saturation binding characteristics of the melatonin receptor ligand, [125I]iodomelatonin, was examined using an incubation temperature (30 degrees C) similar to that used in enzyme assays. 2. At concentrations ranging from 10 pM to 1 nM, melatonin caused a significant decrease in stimulated adenylate cyclase activity with a maximum inhibition of approximately 22%. 3. Binding experiments utilizing [125I]iodomelatonin in a range of approximately 5-80 pM indicated a single class of high-affinity sites: Kd = 55 +/- 9 pM, Bmax = 1.1 +/- 0.3 fmol/mg protein. 4. The ability of picomolar concentrations of melatonin to inhibit forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity suggests that this affect is mediated by picomolar-affinity receptor binding sites for this hormone in the hypothalamus. 相似文献

Characterization of a serotonin transporter and an adenylate cyclase-linked serotonin receptor in the cestode Hymenolepis diminuta 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
[3H]5-HT exhibited specific binding in membrane preparations of Hymenolepis diminuta. The specific binding was saturable, reversible and temperature dependent. A non-linear Scatchard plot was obtained in a concentration range of 11 nM - 1000 nM [3H]5-HT, which could be resolved into sites having apparent dissociation constants (KD) of 0.10 microM and 6.25 microM for the high-affinity and low-affinity components, respectively. The latter could be selectively eliminated by binding [3H]5-HT to H. diminuta membranes in the presence of 10(-3) M nitroimipramine. Drug displacement studies, using 0.20 microM and 2.0 microM [3H]5-HT, revealed that while low-affinity [3H]5-HT binding was displaced by unlabelled 5-HT and inhibitors of 5-HT uptake, high affinity [3H]5-HT binding was affected only by tryptamine derivatives and, to a lesser extent, methysergide. In addition, high-affinity binding was stimulated by MgCl2 while low-affinity binding showed sodium-dependency. The data implicate the low-affinity site as a putative 5-HT transporter and the high-affinity site as a putative 5-HT 1 receptor. Exposure of H. diminuta membranes to 5-HT resulted in a 3-4 fold stimulation of cAMP levels. The EC 50 for the 5-HT-induced activation of adenylate cyclase (0.76 microM) was of the same order of magnitude as the apparent KD for high-affinity binding. Furthermore, the order of drug potency for the elevation of cAMP levels by 5-HT agonists and reversal by 5-HT antagonists was identical to the order of drug potency for the inhibition of high-affinity binding, suggesting linkage of the putative 5-HT 1 receptor to adenylate cyclase in H. diminuta. 相似文献

Interleukin 1 receptors on rabbit articular chondrocytes: relationship between biological activity and receptor binding kinetics 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This study gives an account of the biologic and kinetic binding properties of interleukin 1 alpha (IL 1 alpha), interleukin 1 beta (IL 1 beta), and Glu-4 (an NH2-terminal mutant of IL 1 beta) to interleukin 1 (IL 1) receptors in rabbit articular chondrocytes. All three IL 1's demonstrated full agonist properties in their ability to stimulate prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) synthesis. IL 1 alpha was 23-fold more biologically active than IL 1 beta, which was around 110-fold more active than Glu-4 based on the concentration of IL 1 required for half-maximal stimulation of PGE2. The binding of all three ligands was concentration-dependent and saturable at 4 degrees C. Scatchard analysis of receptor binding data showed that the dissociation constant (KD) of IL 1 alpha was 46 +/- 12 pM, and the receptor density was 3120 sites/cell. The association of IL 1 alpha at 4 degrees C did not attain equilibrium until after 10 h at 100 pM of 125I-labeled IL 1 alpha. The dissociation of bound IL 1 alpha was very slow, t1/2 of 21 h, although only one class of high-affinity receptors was detected. The KD of IL 1 beta binding was 72 +/- 3 pM with a receptor density of 800 +/- 40 sites/cell. Dissociation of bound 125I-labeled IL 1 beta at 4 degrees C appeared to indicate the presence of two receptor subsets, a fast and a slower component with a t1/2 of 2 min and 5 h, respectively. The receptor binding affinity of Glu-4 was 324 +/- 3 pM, in line with its reduced biologic activity. Both IL 1 alpha and IL 1 beta are rapidly internalized in chondrocytes in a time- and temperature-dependent manner. 相似文献

Synthetic n-butyl beta-carboline-3-carboxylate, an endogenous central benzodiazepine receptor inhibitor found in brain, was tritium-labeled from the butenyl ester. Binding of this [3H]beta-carboline was concentrated particularly in the synaptosomal membrane fraction of the cerebral cortex; this fraction showed a single type of high-affinity site (KD = 2.7 +/- 0.1 nM) with a Bmax of 1.16 +/- 0.08 pmol/mg of protein. The number of sites labeled was about half of that obtained with [3H]flunitrazepam binding (Bmax = 2.36 +/- 0.06 pmol/mg of protein). On the other hand, in the cerebellum, both ligands bound to practically the same number of sites. When [3H]flunitrazepam binding was done in the presence of 10(-11)-10(-5) M butyl beta-carboline, the differences between the two brain regions were more apparent. In cerebellar membranes the data fitted a straight line in the Eadie-Hofstee plot; this finding and a Hill number near unity suggest a single type of binding site. In the cortical membranes the data of binding fitted a concave curve, and the Hill number was 0.6. These are characteristics of two types of binding sites with different affinities (KD1 = 0.6-1.5 nM and KD2 = 12-18 nM). The differentiation of a high- and low-affinity site in the cerebral cortex was corroborated by experiments in which [3H]butyl beta-carboline binding was displaced by the triazolopyridazine CL 218,872. These results demonstrate that in the cerebral cortex there are two subtypes of sites (1 and 2) of central benzodiazepine receptors and that CL 218,872 binds preferentially to subtype 1.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献
