Intact rat brain cells were dissociated and used to study the regulation of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors upon exposure to muscarinic receptor agonists. Incubation of cells with carbamylcholine resulted in a time-dependent decrease in subsequent [3H]N-methylscopolamine specific binding, an effect which reached a steady state after 3 hr at 37 degrees C. This effect of carbamylcholine was dependent on the concentration of the agonist in the incubation medium and was due to a reduction in the maximal binding capacity of the receptor with no decrease in the affinity of the remaining receptors. This preparation might be useful in future studies to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the regulation of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in the central nervous system. 相似文献

Evidence for the presence of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in bovine brain coated vesicles 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Evidence obtained from quinuclidinylbenzilate binding determinations suggested that muscarinic acetylcholine receptor molecules are present in purified bovine brain coated vesicles. Immunoprecipitates formed from coated vesicles with polyclonal antibodies to clathrin bound on the surface of fixed Staphylococcus aureus cells also showed quinuclidinylbenzilate binding activity. The high purity of coated vesicles was established by assays for biochemical markers and by electron microscopy. Muscarinic receptor sites for quinuclidinylbenzilate binding to coated vesicles displayed a Kd of 25 pM and a Bmax of about 191 fmol/mg of protein. Binding competition experiments using atropine, N-methylscopolamine, oxotremorine, and carbamylcholine confirmed the typical muscarinic nature of the binding site. Ranking order of potency for the receptors was: atropine greater than N-methylscopolamine greater than oxotremorine greater than carbachol Analysis of data using a two-site model revealed 13% high-affinity sites for oxotremorine, 66% high-affinity sites for carbachol, and 62% for the antagonist N-methylscopolamine. Heterogeneity of binding affinities for muscarinic drugs detected in the coated vesicles may be related to the presence of coated vesicle subpopulations in brain tissue, (Kohtz, D. S., Kohtz, J.

The correlation between number of muscarinic cholinergic receptor sites as measured by binding of the muscarinic antagonist [3H]methylscopolamine ([3H]MS) and the ability of muscarinic agonists to mediate a physiologic response was determined in intact heart cells cultured from chick embryos 10 d in ovo. The increase in K+ permeability and the decrease in beating rate mediated by the muscarinic agonist carbamylcholine were the responses studied. Exposure to 10(-3) M carbamylcholine caused a 15% decrease in beating rate and a 33% increase in the rate of 42K+ efflux from cells labeled to equilibrium. An assay for binding of [3H]MS to intact cells was developed. [3H]MS bound specifically to intact heart cells (185 fmol/mg protein) with a Kd of 0.48 nM. Exposure of cells for various times to 10(-3) M carbamylcholine followed by binding of [3H]MS to intact cells demonstrated that a gradual loss of 70% of [3H]MS binding sites took place over the next 6 h with a T 1/2 of 30 min. A decrease in the ability of carbamylcholine to stimulate K+ efflux and to decrease beating rate was observed after pre-exposure of cells to muscarinic agonists. A close correlation was found between the loss of the subclass of muscarinic receptors subject to agonist control and the loss of physiologic responsiveness after agonist exposure. The data suggest the absence of significant numbers of "spare" receptors within this group. 相似文献

Signal transduction mediated by heterotrimeric G proteins regulates a wide variety of physiological functions. We are interested in the manipulation of G-protein-mediating signal transduction using G-protein-coupled receptors, which are derived from evolutionarily distant organisms and recognize unique ligands. As a model, we tested the functionally coupling GOA-1, G alpha(i/o) ortholog in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, with the human muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M2 subtype (M2), which is one of the mammalian G alpha(i/o)-coupled receptors. GOA-1 and M2 were prepared as a fusion protein using a baculovirus expression system. The affinity of the fusion protein for GDP was decreased by addition of a muscarinic agonist, carbamylcholine and the guanosine 5'-[3-O-thio]triphosphate ([35S]GTPgammaS) binding was increased with an increase in the carbamylcholine concentrations in a dose-dependent manner. These effects evoked by carbamylcholine were completely abolished by a full antagonist, atropine. In addition, the affinity for carbamylcholine decreased under the presence of GTP as reported for M2-G alpha(i/o) coupling. These results indicate that the M2 activates GOA-1 as well as G alpha(i/o). 相似文献

Binding of Agonists and Antagonists to Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptors on Intact Cultured Heart Cells 总被引:7,自引:5,他引:2

The binding of agonists and antagonists to muscarinic acetylcholine receptors on intact cultured cardiac cells has been compared with the binding observed in homogenized membrane preparations. The antagonists [3H]quinuclidinyl benzilate and [3H]N-methylscopolamine bind to a single class of receptor sites on intact cells with affinities similar to those seen in membrane preparations. In contrast with the heterogeneity of agonist binding sites observed in membrane preparations, the agonist carbachol binds to a homogeneous class of low-affinity sites on intact cells with an affinity identical to that found for the low-affinity agonist site in membrane preparations in the presence of guanyl nucleotides. Kinetic studies of antagonist binding to receptors in the absence and presence of agonist did not provide evidence for the existence of a transient (greater than 30 s) high-affinity agonist site that was subsequently converted to a site of lower affinity.

Antimuscarinic effects of chloroquine in rat pancreatic acini 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Chloroquine inhibited carbachol-induced amylase release in a dose-dependent fashion in rat pancreatic acini; cholecystokinin- and bombesin-induced secretory responses were almost unchanged by the antimalarial drug. The inhibition of carbachol-induced amylase release by chloroquine was competitive in nature with a Ki of 11.7 microM. Chloroquine also inhibited [3H]N-methylscopolamine binding to acinar muscarinic receptors. The IC50 for chloroquine inhibition of [3H]N-methylscopolamine binding was lower than that for carbachol or the other antimalarial drugs, quinine and quinidine. These results demonstrate that chloroquine is a muscarinic receptor antagonist in the exocrine pancreas. 相似文献

Calf forebrain homogenates contain 2.8 pM muscarinic acetylcholine receptors per mg of protein. [3H]Antagonist saturation binding experiments under equilibrium conditions revealed a single class of sites with equilibrium dissociation constants of 0.82 nM for [3H]dexetimide and 0.095 nM for [3H]quinuclidinyl benzilate. Displacement binding studies with agonists revealed the presence of low and high affinity sites. Here we describe the solubilization of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors with digitonin and their purification by affinity chromatography using an affinity gel which consisted of dexetimide coupled to Affi-Gel 10 (i.e., carboxy N-hydroxysuccinimide esters linked via a 1 nm spacer arm to agarose beads). Purified proteins were obtained by specific elution with muscarinic drugs, i.e., the antagonist atropine and the irreversible ligand propylbenzilylcholine mustard. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the radioiodinated purified preparations revealed a major 70-K protein. 相似文献

Tetranitromethane at a concentration of 50 microM modifies the muscarinic receptors in membrane preparations from rat striatum, hippocampus and heart atrium, but not from the rat brain stem. While the binding of antagonists is only slightly altered, the modified receptor possesses an increased affinity of up to 8-fold for [3H]-acetylcholine binding to the high affinity state. This effect is absent if the nitration is carried out in the presence of an antagonist, but not in the presence of an agonist. The affinity for carbamylcholine is increased for both the high and the low affinity state of the receptor, as is evident from its ability to compete with a labeled antagonist. In addition, the proportion of binding sites (alpha) exhibiting the high affinity state for [3H]-acetylcholine or for carbamylcholine is increased upon nitration. This increase cannot be protected against by an antagonist, and is enhanced when nitration takes place in the presence of an agonist. With the agonists oxotremorine and [3H]-oxotremorine-M only the latter effect (i.e., increase in alpha) is observed following nitration, while their dissociation constants for the receptor are unchanged. Data are discussed with respect to the proposed existence of subtypes of muscarinic receptors, as well as the importance of the agonist chosen for studies of ligand-receptor interactions. 相似文献

Quinidine inhibited binding of the labelled agonist [3H]oxotremorine M [( 3H]Oxo-M) and the labelled antagonist [3H]N-methylscopolamine [( 3H]NMS) to rat heart muscarinic receptors. Kinetic studies demonstrated that quinidine decreased the association rates (I50: 4 and 7.5 microM) and dissociation rates (I50: 100 and 68 microM) of [3H]Oxo-M and [3H]NMS, with different potencies. These cooperative effects explained the low Hill coefficients and apparent selectivity of quinidine competition curves. 相似文献

We studied the morphological changes in rat Harderian glands 30 min after injection of cholinergic secretagogues. In controls, the glands exhibited a tubuloalveolar structure with relatively wide lumina, in which some osmiophilic dense droplets exocytosed from glandular cells were observed. Also two types of glandular cells (type A cells and type B cells sometimes showing exocytotic figures of lipid-secretory vacuoles) and myoepithelial cells were recognized. After injection of carbamylcholine chloride (subcutaneously, 0.1 mg/kg body weight), which has both nicotinic and muscarinic actions, many of the alveolar lumina dilated and contained a small number of osmiophilic droplets. Exocytotic figures in both types of cells and a pronounced decrease in the number of vacuoles in the glandular cells were observed. However, there was no evidence of apocrine or holocrine secretion. The injection of the higher dose of carbamylcholine (1.0 mg/kg) caused fusion of secretory vacuoles in the apical cytoplasm and contraction of myoepithelial cells. Most alveoli showed no clear lumina; their centers were jammed with cytoplasmic fragments and accumulated secretory products. Massive discharge of cytoplasmic fragments containing some secretory vacuoles was often observed. This may be classified as apocrine secretion. Bethanechol chloride (subcutaneous injection, 1.0 mg/kg), a muscarinic agonist, stimulated the Harderian-gland secretion, and enhanced exocytosis was observed. The discharge from the glandular cells, following injection of various doses of carbamylcholine, were almost inhibited by atropine sulfate, a muscarinic antagonist. The present results suggested that the cholinergic systems regulate the secretion of rat Harderian-gland cells which have muscarinic receptors. 相似文献

The muscarinic acetylcholine receptor was solubilized from rat brain cortex by zwitterionic detergent 3-[(3-chloramidopropyl) dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS). About 15% of the binding activity was solubilized and 40% of the activity was destroyed by the detergent. Binding of the muscarinic antagonist [3H]-N-methyl-4-piperidyl benzilate (4NMPB) was saturable. Scatchard analysis revealed a single population of binding sites with KD value of 0.7 nM and a Bmax value of 340 fmoles/mg protein. The homogenate and the CHAPS treated pellet and soluble receptors showed similar affinity for the agonists oxotremorine and carbamylcholine and for the antagonists QNB and atropine. The dissociation of 4NMPB from the soluble receptors appears slightly slower than from the membrane bound receptors. 相似文献

Treatment of neural membranes from rat cerebral cortex with phospholipase C (phosphatidylcholine cholinephosphohydrolase) inhibited the binding of radiolabelled antagonists to muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. This inhibition was incomplete, was not competitive, and did not appear to be related to the production of inhibitory products. The affinity of carbamylcholine for cortex muscarinic receptors was increased by phospholipase C action. The distribution of receptors between states of high and low affinity was not affected by phospholipase C; rather, the affinity for carbamylcholine of the lowest affinity receptors was selectively increased. This suggests that membrane lipids influence the interaction of the receptor binding subunit with other structures in the synaptic membrane. 相似文献

AbstractThe binding of the nonselective muscarinic antagonist, [3H]N-methylscopolamine (NMS) to a mouse neuroblastoma cell line (Neuro-2A) and its coupling to the inhibition of adenylate cyclase were characterized. Specific [3H]NMS binding to membrane preparations was rapid, saturable, and of high affinity. Saturation experiments revealed a single class of binding sites for the radioligand. Competition experiments with the muscarinic drugs pirenzepine, AF DX 116, dicyclomine and atropine revealed that the muscarinic receptors present on these cells are predominantly of a single class, subtype B (M2). In addition, agonist binding demonstrated existence of a GTP-sensitive high affinity binding state of the receptors. Coupling of these muscarinic receptors to the adenylate cyclase system was investigated using the muscarinic agonist carbachol which was able to inhibit the prostaglandin (PGE1)-stimulated activation of adenylate cyclase. The agonist carbachol did not stimulate the formation of IP3 above basal levels, which indicated that the receptors are not coupled to phosphatidylinositol metabolism. In conclusion, we show that possessing predominantly one subtype of muscarinic receptor, the Neuro-2A cells provide a useful model for the investigation of the heterogeneity of muscarinic receptors and the relationship of subtype to the coupling of different effectors. 相似文献

Electrical stimulation of mechanosensory afferents innervating hairs on the surface of the exopodite in crayfish Procambarus clarkii (Girard) elicited reciprocal activation of the antagonistic set of uropod motor neurones. The closer motor neurones were excited while the opener motor neurones were inhibited. This reciprocal pattern of activity in the uropod motor neurones was also produced by bath application of acetylcholine (ACh) and the cholinergic agonist, carbamylcholine (carbachol). The closing pattern of activity in the uropod motor neurones produced by sensory stimulation was completely eliminated by bath application of the ACh blocker, d-tubocurarine, though the spontaneous activity of the motor neurones was not affected significantly. Bath application of the acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, neostigmine, increased the amplitude and extended the time course of excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) of ascending interneurones elicited by sensory stimulation. These results strongly suggest that synaptic transmission from mechanosensory afferents innervating hairs on the surface of the tailfan is cholinergic.Bath application of the cholinergic antagonists, dtubocurarine (vertebrate nicotinic antagonist) and atropine (muscarinic antagonist) reversibly reduced the amplitude of EPSPs in many identified ascending and spiking local interneurones during sensory stimulation. Bath application of the cholinergic agonists, nicotine (nicotinic agonist) and oxotremorine (muscarinic agonist) also reduced EPSP amplitude. Nicotine caused a rapid depolarization of membrane potential with, in some cases, spikes in the interneurones. In the presence of nicotine, interneurones showed almost no response to the sensory stimulation, probably owing to desensitization of postsynaptic receptors. On the other hand, no remarkable changes in membrane potential of interneurones were observed after oxotremorine application. These results suggest that ACh released from the mechanosensory afferents depolarizes interneurones by acting on receptors similar to vertebrate nicotinic receptors.Abbreviations

The effect of muscarinic agonist on adenylate cyclase was investigated in neonatal islet cells and in a clonal pituitary cell line (GH4C1) following labelling of the intracellular ATP pool with [2,8 3H]adenine. In islet cells carbamylcholine was without effect on basal or glucagon-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity, measured as 3H cyclic AMP production, but inhibited 3H cyclic AMP production in the clonal pituitary cells. The involvement of the inhibitory guanine nucleotide binding protein of adenylate cyclase (Ni) was investigated by the use of the Bordetella pertussis exotoxin, islet activating protein (IAP). Pre-treatment of islet cells with IAP was without effect on adenylate cyclase following carbamylcholine but in the clonal pituitary line abolished the inhibition of 3H cyclic AMP production. It is concluded that in the islet cell, in contrast to the clonal pituitary cell, muscarinic receptors are not effectively coupled through Ni to inhibit adenylate cyclase. 相似文献

The expression of tenascin-C on oligodendrocytes parallels the migration of granule cells in the developing cerebellum, indicating a role for tenascin-C as a guide for granule neurons to find their proper locations. In this study, cultured cerebellar granule neurons from tenascin-C-knockout mice were used to examine the role of tenascin-C in agonist-induced muscarinic acetylcholine receptor down-regulation. Exposure of granule cells from wild-type or tenascin-C-negative mice to the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonist carbachol (1 mM) resulted in normal sequestration of cell-surface muscarinic acetylcholine receptors as assessed by [3H]N-methylscopolamine binding; however, down-regulation of total muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, measured with [3H]quinuclidinyl benzilate, was inhibited in granule cells from tenascin-C-negative mice. Remarkably, incubation of the tenascin-C-negative cells with the microtubule stabilizer taxol (10 microM) restored down-regulation of total muscarinic acetylcholine receptors to normal levels. We speculate that agonist-induced down-regulation of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors is functionally associated with tenascin-C-regulated microtubule structures in the developing cerebellum. 相似文献

A highly purified rat urinary bladder smooth muscle cell culture was obtained by a modified enzymic isolation method, and the presence of functional muscarinic as well as beta-adrenergic receptors were subsequently determined. At 7-10 days of culture, cells became elongated and spindle-shaped showing a typical "hills and valleys" form. They were stained with anti-alpha-actin and anti-myosin antibodies. Radiolabeled ligand binding using [3H]N-methylscopolamine and [3H]CGP12177 showed that these cells expressed muscarinic and beta-adrenergic receptors. Stimulation of cultured cells with carbachol inhibited the forskolin-stimulated cyclic AMP formation, caused an elevation of intracellular Ca2+ concentration measured by fura-2 fluorometry. The latter response was almost completely blocked by 4-DAMP, a selective muscarinic M3 antagonist. On the other hand, stimulation of cultured cells with isoproterenol enhanced the basal cyclic AMP formation, which was reversed by carbachol. Therefore, the presence of functional muscarinic (both M2 and M3) as well as beta-adrenergic receptors was confirmed in pure culture of the rat bladder smooth muscle cells obtained by using an enzymic isolation method. 相似文献

Abstract— [3 H]Dexetimide specifically labels brain muscarinic receptors in vivo . After i.v. injection of labelled drug into rats, radioactivity specifically accumulates in brain regions containing muscarinic receptors but not in cerebellum. This accumulation is stereospecific, saturable and displaceable by unhbelled dexetimide. In contrast, [3 H]levetimide, the inactive enantiomer, does not show such preferential uptake or stereospecific displacement.
An analytical approach was used to study the subcellular distribution of [3 H]dexetimide binding sites. After differential centrifugation the binding sites are mainly recovered in the microsomal fraction from different brain regions but not from the cerebellum. After displacement the radioactivity is found in the supernatant. After equilibration in a density gradient the distribution pattern of [3 H]dexetimide is bimodal, like that of 5'-nucleotidase, with a major peak in a region of low density.
When the microsomal fraction was treated with digitcnin, three groups of membrane were characterized by isopycnic centrifugation on the basis of their differential shift to higher densities. Evidence is provided that the postsynaptic membranes bearing muscarinic receptors belong to the class of plasma membranes. Finally, digitonin treatment may represent a useful tool to produce subfractions enriched in postsynaptic membranes which can now be identified biochemically in binding experiments. 相似文献

Incubation of 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells with carbachol resulted in a rapid loss of binding of [3H]N-methylscopolamine ([3H]NMS) to muscarinic cholinergic receptors measured at 4 degrees C on intact cells; loss of muscarinic receptors in lysates from the same cells measured with [3H]quinuclidinyl benzilate [( 3H]QNB) at 37 degrees C occurred at a slower rate. Upon removal of agonist from the medium, the lost [3H]NMS binding sites measured on intact cells recovered with a t1/2 of approximately 20 min, but only to the level to which [3H]QNB binding sites had been lost; no recovery of "lost" [3H]QNB binding sites occurred over the same period. Based on these data and the arguments of Galper et al. (Galper, J. B., Dziekan, L. C., O'Hara, D. S., and Smith, T. W. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 10344-10356) regarding the relative hydrophilicity of [3H]NMS versus [3H]QNB, it is proposed that carbachol induces a rapid sequestration of muscarinic receptors that is followed by a loss of these receptors from the cell. These carbachol-induced changes are accompanied by a change in the membrane form of the muscarinic receptor. Although essentially all of the muscarinic receptors from control cells co-purified with the plasma membrane fraction on sucrose density gradients, 20-35% of the muscarinic receptors from cells treated for 30 min with 100 microM carbachol migrated to a much lower sucrose density. This conversion of muscarinic receptors to a "light vesicle" form occurred with a t1/2 approximately 10 min, and reversed with a t1/2 approximately 20 min. In contrast to previous results in this cell line regarding beta-adrenergic receptors (Harden, T. K., Cotton, C. U., Waldo, G. L., Lutton, J. K., and Perkins, J. P. (1980) Science 210, 441-443), agonist binding to muscarinic receptors in the light vesicle fraction obtained from carbachol-treated cells was still regulated by GTP. One interpretation of these data is that agonists induce an internalization of muscarinic receptors with the retention of their functional interaction with a guanine nucleotide regulatory protein. 相似文献

A binding assay for muscarinic cholinergic receptors has been developed using labelled dexetimide as ligand and a filtration technique. The main features of this assay are its stereospecific nature, the very high affinity of the ligand for the specific receptors sitcs and its very low affinity for non-specific binding sites. The latter point was further investigated using labelled levitimide, the inactive enantiomer. The binding was found to be neither stereospecific nor saturable and displacement by both enantiomers revealed a particular curve with a very flattened course. Kinetic experiments with [3H]dexetimide suggest the occurrence of a heterogenous population of muscarinic receptors in the rat striatum. A study of the regional distribution of muscarinic receptors in rat brain showed a high concentration in the dopaminergic areas, the cortex and the hippocampus, but practically none in the cerebellum. The subcellular distribution pattern revealed a marked enrichment of [3H]dexetimide stereospecific binding sites in the microsomal fraction of rat striatum and hippocampus. Such a distribution was not found with [3H]levitimide. All the characteristics of this binding assay make dexetimide a very appropriate ligand for labelling muscarinic receptors in vitro as well as in vivo. 相似文献
