The changes of [3H]yohimbine and [3H]clonidine binding sites in rat vas deferens on treatments with adenosine receptor agonists (2-chloroadenosine, adenosine) or reserpine were examined. Treatment with adenosine agonist in vitro increased [3H]clonidine binding sites but had no influence on affinity and number of binding sites of α2-antagonist, [3H]yohimbine. Amount of [3H]yohimbine binding sites was found to be higher than that of [3H]clonidine with or without the treatment. Inhibition curves of α2-agonists, clonidine and norepinephrine, on [3H]yohimbine binding were less than unity though α2-antagonist inhibited with about 1.0 of nH. The treatment with adenosine agonist reduced the IC50 value of agonists on the [3H]yohimbine binding but had no influence on the inhibitory effect of antagonist. These effect of adenosine agonists was completely blocked by theophylline. Accordingly it was considered that activation of adenosine receptor caused configurational change in α2-adrenergic receptor from low affinity state for agonist to the high affinity state, though both states had same affinity for antagonist.On the other hand, treatment with reserpine in vivo increased the affinity of clonidine for α2-adrenergic receptors and also increased the amount of the α2-receptors. 相似文献

MT1 and MT2, polypeptides from green mamba venom, known to bind to muscarinic cholinoceptors, behave like muscarinic agonists in an inhibitory avoidance task in rats. We have further characterised their functional effects using different preparations. MT1 and MT2 behaved like relatively selective muscarinic M1 receptor agonists in rabbit vas deferens, but their effects were not reversed by washing or prevented by muscarinic antagonists, although allosteric modulators altered responses to MT1. Radioligand binding experiments indicated that both toxins irreversibly inhibited [3H]N-methylscopolamine binding to cloned muscarinic M1 and M4 receptors, and reduced binding to M5 subtype with lower affinity, while they reversibly inhibited the binding of [3H]prazosin to rat cerebral cortex and vas deferens, with 20 fold lower affinity. High concentrations of MT1 reversibly blocked responses of vas deferens to noradrenaline. MT1 and MT2 appear to irreversibly activate muscarinic M1 receptors at a site distinct from the classical one, and to have affinity for some -adrenoceptors. 相似文献

Neurochemical and pharmacological evidence has been obtained that noradrenergic varicosities (in mouse and rat vas deferens) and cholinergic varicosities (in the Auerbach's plexus) contain heterogenous alpha2-adrenoceptors through which the release of [3H]noradrenaline and [3H]acetylcholine can be modulated. The quantitative data also support the hypothesis that different noradrenaline and xylazine sensitive alpha2-adrenoceptors are present prejunctionally in the vas deferens and Auerbach's plexus preparations. Prazosin, although it has a presynaptic inhibitory effect on alpha2-adrenoceptors of noradrenergic axon terminals, has no effect on cholinergic axon terminals. These data suggest that there are two different types of alpha2-adrenoceptors at the presynaptic axon terminals.Special Issue Dedicated to Dr. Abel Lajtha 相似文献

Activation of protein kinase C blocks the α1-adrenergic action in hepatocytes. Preincubation of hepatocytes (in buffer with or without calcium) with vasopressin, angiotensin II, phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) or mepinephrine + propranolol markedly diminished the α1-adrenergic responsiveness of the cells (stimulation of ureagenesis) assayed in buffer without calcium. On the contrary, when the α1-adrenergic responsiveness was assayed in buffer containing calcium no effect of the preincubation with vasopressin, angiotensin II or PMA was observed. Preincubation with epinephrine diminished the α1-adrenergic responsiveness of the cells. In hepatocytes from hypothyroid rats the preincubation with the activators of protein kinase C (vasopressin, angiotensin II, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate and epinephrine) reduced markedly the α1-adrenergic responsiveness of the cells, whereas in identical experiments using cells from adrenalectomized rats only the preincubation with epinephrine diminished the responsiveness. It is concluded that activation of protein kinase C induces desensitization of the α1-adrenergic action in hepatocytes and that the calcium-independent pathway of the α1-adrenergic action (predominant in cells from hypothyroid animals) resensitizes more slowly than the calcium-dependent pathway (predominant in cells from adrenalectomized rats). Epinephrine in addition to inducing this type of desensitization (through protein kinase C) leads to a further refractoriness of the cells towards α1-adrenergic agonists. 相似文献

We have investigated the effects of two halogenoalkylamine drugs, dibenamine and phenoxybenzamine, on the stimulated phosphatidylinositol turnover that is produced by neurotransmitters and hormones which interact with receptors to bring about an increase in cell surface Ca2+ permeability. The phosphatidylinositol responses we have investigated were those evoked by muscarinic cholinergic stimuli (parotid gland and pancreas), by α-adrenergic stimuli (parotid gland, vas deferens smooth muscle), by pancreozymin or caerulein (pancreas), by phytohaemagglutinin (lymphocytes) and by either 5-hydroxytryptamine or elevation of the extracellular K+ concentration (ileum smooth muscle). Phenoxybenzamine inhibited the muscarinic cholinergic, α-adrenergic, 5-hydroxytryptamine and high K+ responses, but not the responses to phytohaemagglutinin and to pancreozymin (or caerulein). Dibenamine was less effective than phenoxybenzamine in inhibiting the α-adrenergic response and the high K+ response, and it did not inhibit the responses to muscarinic cholinergic stimuli, to 5-hydroxytryptamine or to the polypeptides. N,N-dimethyl-2-bromo-2-phenylethylamine (DMPEA) inhibited the α-adrenergic response, but not the response to muscarinic cholinergic stimulation. The specificity of DMPEA for the α-adrenergic response agrees with its postulated site of action at the noradrenaline-binding site of this receptor system, whereas dibenamine and phenoxybenzamine are less specific drugs which inhibit a variety of the ‘physiological’ responses of cells, including those to muscarinic cholinergic, H1-histaminergic, α-adrenergic and 5-hydroxytryptamine stimuli. Previously, we suggested that dibenamine and phenoxybenzamine might show a constant pattern of effects on the phosphatidylinositol responses evoked through different receptors, phenoxybenzamine being inhibitory and dibenamine without effect [Jafferji & Michell (1976) Biochem. J. , 163–169]. However, this pattern has not been sustained throughout the present study of a larger range of Ca2+-mobilising stimuli. 相似文献

[3H]Yohimbine, a potent α2-adrenergic antagonist, was used to label the α2-adrenergic receptors in membranes isolated from human platelets. Binding of [3H]yohimbine to platelet membranes appears to have all the characteristics of binding to α2-adrenergic receptors. Binding reached a steady state in 2–3 min at 37°C and was completely reversible upon the addition of excess phentolamine or yohimbine (both at 10?5 M;). [3H]Yohimbine bound to a single class of noncooperative sites with a dissociation constant of 1.74 nM. At saturation, the total number of binding sites was calculated to be 191 fmol/mg protein. [3H]Yohimbine binding was stereo-specifically inhibited by epinephrine: the (?) isomer was 11-times more potent than the (+) isomer. Cathecholamine agonists competed for the occupancy of the [3H]yohimbine-binding sites with an order of potency: clonidine > (?)-epinephrine > (?)-norepinephrine >> (?)-isoproterenol. The potent α2-adrenergic antagonist, phentolamine, competed for the sites whereas the β-antagonist, (±)-propanolol, was a very weak inhibitor. 0.1 mM GTP reduced the bindng affinity of the agonists, while producing no change in antagonist-binding affinity. Dopamine and serotonine competed only at very high concentrations. Similarly, muscarinic cholinergic ligands were also poor inhibitors of [3H]yohimbine binding. These results suggest tht [3H]yohimbine binding to human platelet membranes is specific, rapid, saturable, reversible and, therefore, can be successfully used to label α2-adrenergic receptors. 相似文献

Comparisons among spontaneously hypertensive (SHR), Kyoto Wistar (KW), and Wistar (W) rats were made of the functional states of central nervous system (CNS) alpha 2-adrenoceptors (clonidine-induced mydriasis) and nonvascular peripheral presynaptic alpha 2-adrenoceptors (clonidine-induced inhibition of the neurogenic twitch of the isolated vas deferens). While there were no differences among the strains of rats in the concentration of clonidine required to produce a 50% inhibition of the electrically evoked contractile response of the vas deferens, there was a significant reduction in the mean effective concentration (ED50) of clonidine to induce mydriasis in SHR as compared with KW and W rats. These observations indicate that CNS alpha 2-adrenoceptors may be functionally more sensitive in SHR. The data also suggest that the sensitivity of nonvascular presynaptic alpha 2-adrenoceptors, at least in the vas deferens, is not altered in hypertensive animals. 相似文献

In vitro lipolysis by chicken adipose explants was stimulated by growth hormone (GH) or glucagon. Adenosine or the adenosine agonist, N6-phenylisopropyladenosine (PIA), inhibited GH stimulated lipolysis, the effect of adenosine not being observed in the presence or adenosine deaminase. Glucagon induced lipolysis was also reduced by PIA. It is suggested that adenosine may act by Gi linked to either adenylate cyclase (for glucagon) or the signal transduction mechanism for GH. Lipolysis was not stimulated by GH in the presence of phenylephrine (α1 adrenergic agonist), isoproterenol (β adrenergic agonist), adrenaline or glucagon. Although the presence of p-amino clonidine (α2 adrenergic agonist) depressed basal lipolysis, a response to GH was still present. Either glucagon or β-adrenergic agonists (isoproterenol, adrenaline) stimulated lipolysis. In both cases, GH attenuated the lipolytic response to these hormones, which act via a cyclic adenosine monophosphate signal transduction mechanism. 相似文献

Converging adrenergic and cholinergic mechanisms in the inhibition of Cl secretion in fish opercular epithelium 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Summary The rate of Cl secretion (I
sc) by the opercular epithelium ofFundulus heteroclitus is stimulated by elevations in cyclic AMP (cAMP) levels elicited via
1-adrenergic receptor activation, and inhibited by both
2-adrenergic and muscarinic cholinergic receptor activation via mechanisms presently unknown. A comparison of these two inhibitory responses was made using clonidine, an
2-adrenergic agonist, and acetylcholine (ACh), a cholinergic agonist. The dose required for maximum inhibition was 100 times greater for ACh, but in all other respects the responses elicited by both agonists were statistically indistinguishable. Adrenergic antagonists did not diminish the ACh inhibition, and cholinergic antagonists did not diminish the clonidine inhibition, indicating that the two receptor types were distinct from each other. In control tissues and tissues pretreated with agents that increase cAMP levels (isoproterenol, IBMX, forskolin), both ACh and clonidine had no effects on cyclic AMP levels, indicating an inhibitory mechanism independent of adenylate cyclase. Neither Ca-free media nor a variety of calcium antagonists diminished the ACh or clinidine inhibitions. These results suggest that the
2-adrenergic and muscarinic cholinergic pathways converge into a common pathway to inhibit Cl secretion by a mechanism not involving adenylate cyclase or the mobilization of either extracellular or intracellular calcium stores.Abbreviations

Pre- and postsynaptic adrenergic activation by norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors in the field-stimulated rat vas deferens 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Desipramine (DMI), protriptyline, chlorpromazine, amitriptyline and cocaine, alone or in the presence of prazosin, produced a dose-related inhibition of contractions induced by field stimulation of the rat vas deferens. The inhibition of contractions was readily reversed by yohimbine. In contrast, when yohimbine was first added to the bath, all agents, except chlorpromazine, produced a dose-related enhancement of contractions which were readily reversed by prazosin. The potencies of these agents for induction of contractile inhibition, after prazosin, and contractile enhancement, after yohimbine, were similar. Both of the latter contractile responses of DMI were markedly attenuated or absent in tissues taken from rats pretreated with reserpine and alpha-methyl-para-tyrosine. The data indicate that, in the rat vas deferens, inhibition of norepinephrine reuptake results primarily in presynaptic (α2) receptor activation. Postsynaptic (α1) adrenergic activation by inhibition of norepinephrine reuptake can be demonstrated in this tissue only after presynaptic (α2) receptor blockade. The possible implications of the present studies to the delayed clinical onset of action of tricyclic antidepressants is discussed. 相似文献

Pharmacological responses of spiral strips prepared from the guinea pig vas deferens to various adrenergic and cholinergic agonists and autacoids were studied. On the circular muscle alpha adrenergic, muscarinic cholinergic and histaminergic receptors were identified. The responses evoked on the circular and longitudinal muscles were of the same type. 相似文献

An endogenous brain substance, CDS (clonidine-displacing-substance), inhibits the twitch response of rat vas deferens 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The effect of CDS, an endogenous brain substance that specifically displaces bound [3H]clonidine and [3H]rauwolscine in rat brain membranes and human platelets, has been tested in isolated, field-stimulated rat vas deferens. CDS, obtained after an extensive purification procedure as a single peak from an HPLC sizing column, inhibited the electrically stimulated rat vas deferens similarly to the inhibitory action of clonidine, an alpha 2-agonist. The effective dose of CDS as an inhibitor of the vas deferens is equivalent to its effective dose in displacing specifically bound [3H]-clonidine in rat brain membranes. Furthermore, the CDS inhibition of the twitch response is reversed by two alpha 2-adrenergic antagonists, yohimbine and phentolamine. From these results, it is suggested that CDS extracted from brain, with affinity for clonidine sites, may be involved in the nonadrenergic fast response of the sympathetic transmission of the vas deferens. 相似文献

Isolated guinea pig ileal longitudinal muscle was stimulated transmurally with a frequency of 0.1 Hz, duration of 0.5 msec, and supramaximal voltage (80-100 V). Transmural stimulation induces ileal contractions via activation of cholinergic neurons. alpha 2-Adrenergic agonists block the response to transmural stimulation via activation of prejunctional alpha 2 receptors which inhibit release of acetylcholine from cholinergic nerve terminals. Urapidil has been reported to have alpha 2-agonistic actions, and therefore was compared to the prototypic alpha 2 agonists, clonidine and B-HT 920. Clonidine and B-HT 920 depressed responses to transmural stimulation in the guinea pig ileum. Clonidine was the most potent inhibitor of the contractions, followed closely by B-HT 920. Very high concentrations of urapidil were necessary to suppress nerve-induced contractions of the ileum. The effects of clonidine and B-HT 920, but not urapidil, were antagonized by the selective alpha 2 antagonist, yohimbine. In unstimulated preparations, in which exogenous acetylcholine was used to elicit contractions of the ileum, urapidil depressed the response while clonidine and B-HT 920 had no effect. When PGF1 alpha was used to contract the ileum, no inhibitory effects were noted for urapidil, clonidine, or B-HT 920. Therefore urapidil, only in high concentrations, inhibits the contraction to transmural stimulation by depressing the response at a postjunctional cholinergic site. No evidence was found that urapidil can act as an agonist at a prejunctional alpha 2-receptor site. 相似文献

Several new clonidine analogs were synthesized and their ability to inhibit [3H] phentolamine binding to human platelet α2-adrenergic receptors was tested. The order of potency and calculated dissociation constants for clonidine and its analogs were as follows: clonidine (0.020 ± 0.005 μM) >p-aminoclonidine (0.100 ± 0.010 μM) > hydroxy-phenacetyl-aminoclonidine (0.20 ± 0.03 μM) >p-dansyl clonidine (1.00 ± 0.20 μM) >t-boc-tyrosine clonidine (1.80 ± 0.60 μM). Thus, p-amino substitution reduces α2-adrenergic affinity in the platelet system. The effects of clonidine and its p-amino analogs on platelet adenylate cyclase were also evaluated. This enzyme is inhibited by epinephrine acting via α2-adrenergic receptors. Both clonidine and p-aminoclonidine cause slight inhibition of basal adenylate cyclase and reverse the inhibition induced by epinephrine. These observations indicate that clonidine is a partial agonist for platelet α2-adrenergic receptors. 相似文献

Similarities and differences in the effect of cocaine on [alpha]-adrenergic and muscarinic receptors were shown in three experimental
models. The postsynaptic stimulating effect of cocaine, mediated by [alpha]-adrenergic receptors was revealed in uninnervated
chick amnion and innervated rat vas deferens. In vas deferens cocaine caused an increase of the amount of active [alpha]-adrenergic
receptors, the appearance of an additional receptor pool, and change in the dimerization level. Cocaine acted as an antagonist
on muscarinic receptors of the chick amnion. The inhibition by cocaine of muscarinic receptors in the rat brain cortex membranes
led to a decrease in the number of receptors and their partial monomerization. Thus, cocaine influences both the [alpha]-adrenergic
and the muscarinic response at the receptor level. Experiments on various objects have shown that cocaine activates the [alpha]-adrenergic
response and inhibits the muscarinic one. 相似文献

Unmasking of the inhibitory action of glucose on insulin release after alpha 2-adrenergic activation
Insulin release in response to glucose was measured after culture of islets from ob/ob-mice in a Ca2+-deficient medium. The stimulatory effect of 20 mM glucose disappeared after addition of 1 microM L-epinephrine, and it was reversed into inhibition when the medium contained 0.1 to 10 microM clonidine. Glucose inhibited insulin release also after activation of the alpha 2-adrenoceptors with B-HT 933, whereas blocking of these receptors with idazoxan removed glucose inhibition in the presence of clonidine. It is concluded that alpha 2-adrenergic activation provides an efficient means of unmasking the inhibitory component in the action of glucose on insulin release. 相似文献

It has been demonstrated previously with the vas deferens of the guinea-pig that the first and second phases of the contractile response to motor nerve stimulation are preferentially antagonized by the P2-purinoceptor antagonist arylazido aminopropionyl ATP (ANAPP3), and the α1-adrenoceptor antagonist prazosin, respectively. We have now investigated the effect of the two antagonists on the biphasic contraction in the vas deferens of two other species; rabbit and rat. ANAPP3, in a concentration which antagonized responses to exogenously applied ATP but not those to exogenous norepinephrine, preferentially reduced the initial phasic response of the rabbit vas deferens to motor nerve stimulation without significantly reducing the secondary, tonic phase of the response. Prazosin had the opposite effect; antagonizing the response to norepinephrine but not to ATP and reducing the tonic response to motor nerve stimulation without significantly reducing the initial phasic response. Results obtained with the rat vas deferens were similar. The present results combined with previous findings suggest that ATP and norepinephrine act as cotransmitters in the vas deferens of several species. 相似文献

The effects of adrenergic and cholinergic receptor agonists and antagonists on single and clustered mouse cardiocytes in culture have been studied. Cardiocytes were obtained from mice, ranging in ages from 9 days in utero to 1 day postpartum, and were grown in culture for 2–14 days. Single isolated cells of every age tested possessed the ability to respond both via a muscarinic cholinergic receptor to the cholinergic agonist, carbamylcholine, and via α- and β-adrenergic receptors to norepinephrine and epinephrine. Thus, cholinergic and adrenergic receptors are simultaneously present on the same cell. Cardiocyte clusters had considerably higher sensitivity to both autonomic agents, but, because of the extensive functional specializations between cells, the localization of functional receptors to specific cells could not be made. [3H]Alprenolol, a potent β-adrenergic receptor antagonist, and [3H]quinuclidinyl benzilate ([3H]QNB), a potent muscarinic cholinergic receptor antagonist, were used to localize β-adrenergic and muscarinic cholinergic receptors by autoradiography. Quantitation of the muscarinic ACh receptor gave ~800 sites/μm2, a value comparable to that for the nicotinic ACh receptor on primary skeletal muscle in culture. Electrophysiological and fine-structural studies confirmed the myocardial nature of these cells. 相似文献

In all the vertebrates, synthesis of melatonin and its rhythm-generating enzyme arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase (AANAT) reaches its peak in the pineal during the night in a daily light-dark cycle, but the role of different neuronal signals in their regulation were unknown for any fish. Hence, the authors used specific agonist and antagonists of receptors for different neuronal signals and regulators of intracellular calcium (Ca2+) and adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) in vitro to study their effects on the abundance of AANAT and titer of melatonin in the carp (Catla catla) pineal. Western blot analysis followed by quantitative analysis of respective immunoblot data for AANAT protein, radioimmunoassay of melatonin, and spectrophotometric analysis of Ca2+ in the pineal revealed stimulatory effects of both adrenergic (α1 and β1) and dopaminergic (D1) agonists and cholinergic (both nicotinic and muscarinic) antagonists, inhibition by both adrenergic and dopaminergic antagonists and cholinergic agonists, but independent of the influence of any agonists or antagonists of α2-adrenergic receptors. Band intensity of AANAT and concentration of melatonin in the pineal were also enhanced by the intracellular calcium-releasing agent, activators of both calcium channel and adenylate cyclase, and phophodiesterase inhibitor, but suppressed by inhibitor of calcium channel and adenylate cyclase as well as activator of phophodiesterase. Moreover, an inhibitory effect of light on the pineal AANAT and melatonin was blocked by both cAMP and proteasomal proteolysis inhibitor MG132. Collectively, these data suggest that dark-induced abundance of AANAT and melatonin synthesis in the carp pineal are a multineuronal function, in which both adrenergic (α1 and β1, but not α2) and dopaminergic signals are stimulatory, whereas cholinergic signals are inhibitory. This study also provides indications, though arguably not conclusive evidence, that in either case the neuronal mechanisms follow a signal-transduction pathway in which Ca2+ and cAMP may act as the intracellular messengers. It also appears that proteasomal proteolysis is a conserved event in the regulation of AANAT activity in vertebrates. (Author correspondence: dgp_skmaitra@yahoo. co. in) 相似文献

The effect of an opiate alkaloid and an opioid-like peptide was studied on the electrically evoked twitching of the vas deferens of 3 common laboratory rodents. Normorphine and the synthetic opioid peptide D-Alanine2 methionine enkephalinamide (D-Ala2) produced dose dependent inhibitions of the twitching response in the mouse vas deferens. In the rat vas, while β-endorphin (β-EP) caused an inhibitory effect in three strains of rats to a similar degree, morphine produced a dose related enhancement of the twitching. In the guinea pig, both morphine and β-EP caused an increased in the muscular twitch. The results are interpreted in terms of an heterogenous mixture of opiate receptors present in the vas deferens from these rodents. The mouse appears to contain mainly δ receptors while the rat has mostly ε receptors characterized by their specificity and sensitivity to the action of β-EP. The guinea pig vas deferens has apparently lost the sensitivity to the inhibitory influence of the opioids, suggesting the absence of μ or δ opiate receptors in this tissue. 相似文献
