The effects of Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2 (melanotropin release inhibiting factor, MIF) and its analog, cyclo (Leu-Gly) on the mouse and rat striatal cholinergic muscarinic receptors labeled with 3H-quinuclidinyl benzilate (QNB) were investigated. 3H-QNB bound to the rat striatal muscarinic receptors at a single high affinity site with receptor density (Bmax value) of 1200 fmol per mg protein and an apparent dissociation constant (Kd value) of 53.5 pM. At 140 pM concentration of 3H-QNB, the specific binding to the receptors was 724 fmol per mg protein. MIF in a concentration range of 10(-9) to 10(-4) M did not alter the binding of 3H-QNB but at 10(-3) M decreased the binding by 25%. Cyclo (Leu-Gly), on the other hand, in the concentration range of 10(-9) to 10(-3) M had no effect on the binding of 3H-QNB. A single injection of MIF (3 or 10 mg/kg IP) to rats did not alter the Bmax or the Kd value of 3H-QNB to bind to the striatal membranes. 3H-QNB bound to the mouse striatal muscarinic receptors at a single high affinity site with a Bmax value of 991 fmol/per mg protein and a Kd value of 21 pM. Neither acute administration of MIF (3 or 10 mg/kg IP) nor chronic treatment of the peptide (2, 8 or 32 mg/kg IP, daily for 5 days) to mice could influence the binding of 3H-QNB to the striatal muscarinic receptors.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The influence of prior incubation on [3H]tryptamine binding was investigated in rat brain synaptic plasma membranes. A 55 min preincubation of the membranes at 37 degrees C induced an approx. 2.4-fold increase in the specific binding of [3H]ligand to the subsequently washed preparations and this phenomenon was quite temperature-dependent. On the other hand, the proportion of nonspecific binding sites was significantly decreased by 70% of the original sites within 20 min of the start of preincubation. Pargyline, ascorbic acid, EGTA, metal ions (Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+) and guanine nucleotides, included in the preincubation buffer, were all inactive on the stimulation of [3H]tryptamine binding, while the pretreatment of membranes with glutaraldehyde antagonized the augmentation of this binding. Furthermore, it was revealed that the Scatchard plot of the [3H]tryptamine binding preincubated at 0 degree C conformed to a straight line (KD = 33.1 nM, Bmax = 543 fmoles/mg protein), whereas a curvilinear Scatchard plot was obtained at 37 degrees C preincubation. Nonlinear regression analysis of the latter resulted in apparent KD (nM) & Bmax (fmoles/mg protein) values of 0.45 & 102.7 and 33.7 & 603.4 for the high and low affinity sites, respectively. All these observations lead to the inference that the preincubation-induced increase in [3H]tryptamine binding (i.e., nearly high affinity proportion of sites) may occur as a result of temperature-sensitive interconvertible conformational changes. 相似文献

The effect of oxygen free radicals generated by xanthine-xanthine oxidase system and hydrogen peroxide were investigated on cardiac muscarinic cholinergic receptors. We have used highly enriched sarcolemmal preparations isolated from canine myocardium. Exposure of the sarcolemma to oxygen free radicals by xanthine-xanthine oxidase system resulted in a significant (P less than 0.05) decrease of Bmax of (3H)-QNB (4.66 +/- 0.51 to 2.68 +/- 0.22 pmoles/mg protein). Addition of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (10 micrograms/ml) resulted in a significant reversal of Bmax value to 3.72 +/- 0.39 pmoles per mg protein (p less than 0.05). However, the affinity constants of dissociation (KD) were not altered appreciably with the exposure to oxygen free radicals with or without scavengers. Hydrogen peroxide significantly depressed 3H-QNB binding to the receptors in a dose-dependent manner in a concentration range between 4.41 mM -441 mM. This depression was completely inhibited by 10 micrograms/ml catalase. The study demonstrates that the oxygen free radical species are capable of disrupting (3H)-QNB binding to the cardiac muscarinic receptors. 相似文献

Human blood lymphocytes from normal blood donors exhibited specific binding of the muscarinic antagonist 3H-quinuclidinyl benzilate (3H-QNB). The 3H-QNB binding to intact viable lymphocytes as well as to lysed lymphocyte membranes "P2" was saturable and displaceable by both muscarinic agonists and antagonists. For the lysed lymphocyte membranes "P2" a single binding site with a Bmax of 109 pmol/g protein and a Kd of 15 nM was obtained. Intact viable lymphocytes also showed one binding site with a Kd of 24 nM and a Bmax of 1556 pmol/g protein. The higher Bmax value might be explained in terms of uptake of the ligand when using intact cells or through loss of binding sites when using lysed lymphocyte membranes "P2". IC50 values were lower by a factor of 10(2) for atropine and scopolamine and by 10(4) for pirenzepine when lysed lymphocyte membranes "P2" were used instead of intact viable lymphocytes. 相似文献

Presynaptic Cholinergic Mechanisms in the Rat Cerebellum: Evidence for Nicotinic, but Not Muscarinic Autoreceptors 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The present study shows that N-[3H]methylcarbamylcholine ([3H]MCC) binds to a single population of high-affinity/low-density (KD = 5.0 nM; Bmax = 8.2 fmol/mg of protein) nicotinic binding sites in the rat cerebellum. Also, there exists a single class of high-affinity binding sites (KD = 4.8 nM; Bmax = 24.2 fmol/mg of protein) in the cerebellum for the M1 specific muscarinic ligand [3H]pirenzepine. In contrast, the M2 ligand, [3H]AF-DX 116, appears to bind to two classes of binding sites, i.e., a high-affinity (KD = 3 nM)/low-capacity (Bmax = 11.7 fmol/mg of protein) class, and a second class of lower affinity (KD = 28.4 nM) and higher capacity (Bmax = 36.3 fmol/mg of protein) sites. The putative M3 selective ligand [3H]4-diphenylacetoxy-N-methylpiperidine also binds to two distinct classes of binding sites in cerebellar homogenates, one of high affinity (KD = 0.5 nM)/low capacity (Bmax = 19.5 fmol/mg of protein) and one of low affinity (KD = 57.5 nM)/high capacity (Bmax = 140.6 fmol/mg of protein). In experiments which tested the effects of cholinergic drugs on acetylcholine release from cerebellar brain slices, the nicotinic agonist MCC enhanced spontaneous acetylcholine release in a concentration-dependent manner, and the maximal increase in acetylcholine release (59.0-68.0%) occurred at 10(-7) M. The effect of MCC to increase acetylcholine release was Ca2+-dependent and tetrodotoxin-insensitive, suggesting an action on cholinergic terminals. Also, the MCC-induced increase in acetylcholine release was effectively antagonized by dihydro-beta-erythroidine, d-tubocurarine, and kappa-bungarotoxin, but was insensitive to either atropine or alpha-bungarotoxin.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Mr2034 has been proposed as a kappa opiate. While Mr2034 inhibited the binding of the kappa opiate 3H-ethylketocyclazocine better than unlabeled ethylketocyclazocine, it also displaced the binding of 3H-dihydromorphine and 3H-SKF 10047 more potently than morphine and SKF 10047, respectively. 3H-D-ala2-D-leu5-enkephalin was displaced equally well by Mr2034 and D-ala2-D-leu5-enkephalin. Saturation studies of 3H-Mr2034 binding demonstrated curvilinear Scatchard plots which could be dissected into two components by computer: KD1 0.06 nM, Bmax1 2.49 fmoles/mg tissue; and KD2 2.4 nM, Bmax2 6.57 fmoles/mg tissue. A portion of the higher affinity (KD 0.06 nM) component was inhibited by naloxonazine treatment in vitro (50 nM), suggesting that 3H-Mr2034 bound with very high affinity to mu1 sites. Displacement of 3H-Mr2034 binding by opioids was multiphasic, again implying that 3H-Mr2034 was binding to more than one class, of site. In view of its similar potency in inhibiting mu (3H-dihydromorphine), kappa (3H-ethylketocycla-zocine), sigma (3H-SKF 10047) and delta (3H-D-ala2-D-leu5-enkephalin) opioids Mr2034 might be considered a universal opiate. 相似文献

Evidence that the potential antipsychotic agent rimcazole (BW 234U) is a specific, competitive antagonist of sigma sites in brain 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Rimcazole (BW 234U) is a potential antipsychotic agent which in open-clinical trials appears to be effective in acute schizophrenic patients. In the present study, rimcazole was found to block the specific binding of [3H]-(+)-SKF 10,047 to sigma sites in rat and guinea pig brain (IC50 = 5.0 X 10(-7) M). The compound was 100 times weaker as a blocker of phencyclidine sites (IC50 = 4.3 X 10(-5) M). At 1 X 10(-5) M, rimcazole had only weak effects on mu, delta, kappa and epsilon opioid receptors. Scatchard analysis of the binding data from guinea pig brain revealed an apparent KD for [3H]-(+)-SKF 10,047 of 85 +/- 5 nM and a Bmax of 824 +/- 27 fmole/mg protein. In the presence of 5 X 10(-7) M BW 234U, the apparent KD was 165 +/- 35 nM, but the Bmax (892 +/- 146 fmoles/mg protein) was not affected. This suggests that rimcazole is a competitive inhibitor of sigma sites. The agent was also capable of blocking sigma sites in vivo (ID50 = 6 mg/kg i.p., mice) as judged by an in vivo sigma receptor binding assay. Thus, if the antipsychotic activity of rimcazole is confirmed in double-blind, placebo-controlled trials, it would be the first compound whose mechanism of antipsychotic activity may best be explained by a direct blockade of sigma sites and not by a direct blockade of dopamine (D2) receptors in brain. 相似文献

The guinea-pig striatum contains an apparent homogenous population of [3H]-etorphine high affinity sites (KD = 0.56 +/- 0.12 nM; Bmax = 267 +/- 47 fmoles/mg protein). The specific binding is completely abolished by 5 microM (D-Ala2, D-Leu5) enkephalin whereas an important residual binding is still present after the blockade of mu and delta sites. The binding properties of these residual sites are very similar to those of the benzomorphan sites characterized in rat brain and spinal cord. From the different binding properties of kappa and benzomorphan sites, the subdivision into kappa1 (kappa sites) and kappa2 (benzomorphan sites) is discussed. 相似文献

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

The α2-adrenergic receptor density in platelet membranes from normal controls and depressed patients was studied using 3H-yohimbine, a potent α2-adrenergic antagonist, as a radioligand. The KD values of 3H-yohimbine in control and depressed patient samples were 0.92±0.07 nM and 0.97±0.06 nM, respectively. The Bmax values of controls and depressed patients were 240±19 fmoles/mg protein (128±13 receptor platelet, R/PL) and 204±20 fmoles/mg protein (139±14 R/L), respectively. There were no significant differences between the KD and Bmax values of the two groups. 相似文献

Muscarinic receptors were assessed by [3H]-quinuclidinyl benzilate (QNB) binding in 900 xg supernatants of bovine superior cervical ganglia (SCG). At 30 degrees C half maximal binding was reached within 3 min and equilibrium within 30 min. Scatchard analysis revealed a single population of binding sites with dissociation constant (Kd) = 0.15 +/- 0.01 nM and site concentration (Bmax) = 101 +/- 4 fmoles/mg prot. Binding was specific for muscarinic drugs. Incubation of bovine SCG with different hormones (10(-7)M) indicated that LH, TRH and testosterone depressed significantly Bmax, and that prolactin decreased both Kd and Bmax of [3H] -QNB binding. Several other hormones tested (TSH, GH, FSH, LHRH, angiotensin II, bradykinin, melatonin, estradiol, thyroxine and triiodothyronine) did not affect QNB binding. Hormone effects were not due to a direct interference with radioligand binding to membrane. The injection of LH to orchidectomized rats depressed Bmax of SCG QNB binding without changing the Kd. These results suggest that muscarinic cholinergic neurotransmission in SCG may be affected by hormones. 相似文献

Reduced muscarinic receptor plasticity in frontal cortex of aged rats after chronic administration of cholinergic drugs 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Age-related differences in muscarinic receptor plasticity were observed in young, adult and senescent Fischer 344 rats (3, 9 and 27 months old, respectively) following the chronic, intracerebroventricular (ivt) administration of a cholinergic agonist, oxotremorine, or antagonist, methylatropine. After three weeks treatment of young rats with ivt oxotremorine, the maximum number (Bmax) of 3H-QNB binding sites in frontal cortex, determined by saturation experiments, was reduced by 27%, with no apparent change in the affinity (Kd) of 3H-QNB for the muscarinic receptor. Conversely, chronic ivt methylatropine administered to 3 month old animals caused a 29% increase in Bmax with no significant change in Kd. Adult animals showed a somewhat lesser degree of muscarinic receptor plasticity (16% down-regulation after oxotremorine, 22% up-regulation after methylatropine). However, 3H-QNB binding parameters in frontal cortex from senescent rats were not significantly altered following identical treatments with oxotremorine or methylatropine. Thus, muscarinic receptor adaptation to chronic, cholinergic drug administration was impaired in aged animals. This reduced receptor plasticity with aging could have important implications for the long-term drug treatment of elderly patients and for the therapeutic efficacy of cholinergic drugs in age-related neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease. 相似文献

The binding of a degradation-resistant analog of gonadotropin-releasing hormone, [D-Phe6]GnRH, to rat brain crude particulate preparation was studied. The binding of this analog at 0 degrees C was saturable and Scatchard analysis revealed the presence of 2 binding sites: one with KD = 1.39 x 10(-7) M and Bmax = 265 pmole/mg protein, and another of lower affinity but higher capacity with KD = 5.58 X 10(-6) M and Bmax = 1734 pmoles/mg protein. The binding at 0 degrees C was substantially higher than that obtained at 37 degrees C, due to binding site-inactivation processes occurring at 37 degrees C. The binding sites exhibited a considerable degree of specificity for GnRH as unrelated peptides (with the exception of ACTH) display a much weaker affinity than GnRH and GnRH analogs. Subcellular fractionation demonstrated that most of the binding was associated with the mitochondrial fraction. 相似文献

Nicotine induced a phasic contraction in the rabbit urinary bladder. The response was abolished by hexamethonium and partially reduced by atropine and capsaicin. Simultaneous atropine and capsaicin treatment did not abolish the contraction. These findings suggest that the response to nicotine is due to acetylcholine, tachykinins, and unknown mediator release. In contrast, nicotine-induced contraction diminished following the chronic nicotine treatment without a change of its pharmacological properties. These results suggest the possibility that chronic nicotine treatment causes a decrease in nicotinic receptor numbers. Therefore, the binding properties of (-)-[3H]nicotine on rabbit urinary detrusor muscle membrane fractions were studied to evaluate the effects of chronic nicotine treatment on nicotinic receptors. Specific (-)-[3H]nicotine binding reached saturation and Scatchard plots were curvilinear, suggesting the existence of two different affinity sites for (-)-[3H]nicotine. Dissociation constants (KD) and maximum binding sites (Bmax) were KD1 = 4.91 +/- 1.88 nM, Bmax1 = 2.42 +/- 0.22 fmol/mg protein and KD2 = 263 +/- 56 nM, Bmax2 = 25.0 +/- 4.3 fmol/mg protein. In urinary bladder membrane fractions from chronic nicotine-treated rabbits, KD and Bmax values were KD1 = 3.96 +/- 0.38 nM, Bmax1 = 1.07 +/- 0.25 fmol/mg protein and KD2 = 249 +/- 12 nM, Bmax2 = 10.8 +/- 1.5 fmol/mg protein. Dissociation constants for both sites following chronic nicotine treatment did not change but maximum binding site numbers for both sites significantly decreased (p less than 0.05). These results suggest that the decrease in contractile response evoked by nicotine after chronic nicotine treatment in rabbit urinary bladder is due to a decrease in numbers of nicotinic receptors. 相似文献

Thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) binding sites in the adult human brain: localization and characterization 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
In the current study, we found evidence for the existence of binding sites for TRH in synaptic membrane preparations of several regions of the postmortem adult human brain. High levels of specific binding (fmol [3H]Me-TRH/mg protein/2 hr) were found in limbic structures: amygdala (7.1 +/- 0.6, Mean +/- SE), hippocampus (2.8 +/- 0.3), and temporal cortex (2.4 +/- 0.8). Intermediate levels of binding were found in the hypothalamus and nucleus accumbens whereas binding was low to undetectable in frontal and occipital cortex, cerebellum, pons, medulla and corpus striatum. Binding of the radioligand was linear over protein concentrations of 0.05-1.5 mg, and greater than 6 hr of incubation was required to achieve maximal binding. In the amygdala, binding was inhibited in the presence of TRH and Me-TRH but not in the presence of up to 1 microM concentrations of cyclo (His-Pro), TRH-OH, pGlu-His or peptides unrelated to TRH. Pretreatment of amygdala synaptic membranes with detergents, proteases or phospholipases disrupted [3H]Me-TRH binding; pretreatment with DNase or collagenase had no effect on binding. Saturation and association/dissociation analyses of the binding of [3H]Me-TRH to purified amygdala synaptic membranes revealed the presence of a high affinity (KD = 2.0 nM), low capacity (Bmax = 180 +/- 16 fmoles/mg protein) binding site. These results demonstrate that a highly specific membrane associated receptor for TRH is present in the adult human brain. The specific role that this receptor plays in brain function remains to be elucidated. 相似文献

Reserpine-induced post-receptor reduction in muscarinic-mediated airway smooth muscle contraction 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Radioligand binding was conducted on airways of the rat and human, surgically subdivided into trachea, lung airways, and parenchyma. 3H-QNB bound uniformly to receptors in separate sections of the rat and human airway. Receptor densities generally were ranked: lung airways greater than trachea greater than parenchyma. Receptor subtypes were identified mostly by pirenzepine displacement of bound 3H-QNB. The rat trachea, and rat and human lung airways had a uniformly low affinity for pirenzepine while rat and human parenchyma demonstrated both high and low affinity pirenzepine binding. Inhibition of methacholine-stimulated smooth muscle contraction by the M1 receptor antagonist, pirenzepine, and M2 receptor antagonist, gallamine, was studied in rat trachea and bronchus in vitro. Schild plot pA2 values were compatible with low potency antagonism, thereby favoring the presence of M3 receptors at these smooth muscle sites. Reserpine treatment of rats (0.5 mg kg-1 day-1 for 7 days) produced a decrease in peak tension in response to methacholine without changing the muscarinic receptor character (Kd 3H-QNB), population density (Bmax in fmol mg-1 protein), or function (methacholine EC50). These results indicate that muscarinic receptor heterogeneity exists in the airway of both laboratory rat and man. While the muscarinic receptor subserving airway smooth muscle contraction appears to be the M3 subtype, decreased contractile responses to methacholine by trachea and bronchus from reserpine-treated rats were receptor independent. 相似文献

Temperature dependence and GABA modulation of [3H]triazolam binding in the rat brain 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The hypnotic triazolam (TZ), a triazolobenzodiazepine displays a short physiological half life and has been used for the treatment of insomnia related to anxiety states. Our major objectives were the direct measurement of the temperature dependence and the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) effect of [3H]TZ binding in the rat brain. Saturation studies showed a shift to lower affinity with increasing temperatures (Kd = 0.27 +/- 08 nM at 0 degree C; Kd = 1.96 +/- 0.85 nM at 37 degrees C) while the Bmax values remained unchanged (1220 +/- 176 fmoles/mg protein at 0 degree C and 1160 +/- 383 fmoles/mg protein at 37 degrees C). Saturation studies of [3H]TZ binding in the presence or absence of GABA (100 microM) showed a GABA-shift. At 0 degrees C the Kd values were (Kd = 0.24 +/- 0.03 nM/-GABA; Kd = 0.16 +/- 0.04/+GABA) and at 37 degrees C the Kd values were (Kd = 1.84 +/- 0.44 nM/-GABA; Kd = 0.95 +/- 0.29 nM/+GABA). In contrast to reported literature, our findings show that TZ interacts with benzodiazepine receptors with a temperature dependence and GABA-shift consistent with predicted behavior for benzodiazepine agonists. 相似文献

1. Using the tritiated muscarinic receptor antagonist, quinuclidinyl benzilate ([3H]QNB) as a ligand, muscarinic cholinergic receptors have been identified and characterized in the pineal glands of cow and swamp buffalo. 2. At 25 degrees C, the specific binding reached equilibrium within 60 min and remained constant for an additional two hours. Furthermore, the specific binding was saturable, reversible and tissue dependent in nature. 3. The kinetic analyses of muscarinic cholinergic receptor sites revealed KD values of 0.423 +/- 0.01 nM and 0.218 +/- 0.01 nM, and Bmax values of 69.75 +/- 20.91 fmol/mg protein and 74.19 +/- 32.73 fmol/mg protein for the cow's- and the swamp buffalo's pineal glands, respectively. 4. The presence of muscarinic cholinergic receptor sites originating from cholinergic innervation of the pineal gland is suggested. 相似文献

The specific-binding properties of l-[3H]quinuclidinyl benzilate, a muscarinic acetylcholine-receptor antagonist, were investigated in synaptic and other membrane preparations of the guinea pig cochlear nucleus and auditory nerve. Binding parameters for all experiments were consistent with a single binding site with a Hill coefficient of 1.0. The binding of the ligand was specific and of high affinity, with values of KD in the range of 30-80 pM. Bmax was 0.352 +/- 0.023 pmol/mg protein for the dorsal cochlear nucleus and 0.215 +/- 0.011 pmol/mg protein for the ventral cochlear nucleus. The dorsal cochlear nucleus/ventral cochlear nucleus ratio for density of muscarinic receptors (1.6/1.0) was maintained across two different buffer systems, which varied with respect to the inclusion of proteolysis inhibitors. The results for auditory nerve indicated a level of binding much below that of the cochlear nucleus, with Bmax = 0.052 +/- 0.011 pmol/mg protein. The results of specific-binding experiments for l-[3H]quinuclidinyl benzilate support a role for acetylcholine as a neurotransmitter in the cochlear nucleus. The greater density of muscarinic receptors in the dorsal cochlear nucleus may indicate greater cholinergic activity in the dorsal relative to the ventral cochlear nucleus. 相似文献
