PAF (0.2 microM) induced maximal platelet aggregation in human PRP and [3H]-PAF (1-5 nM) binding to platelet membrane preparations had Kd value of 3.8 nM and Bmax of 200 fmoles/mg of protein. Without UV irradiation, a synthetic azido tetrahydrofuran derivative L662,025 was a reversible and competitive PAF-receptor antagonist with IC50 values of 5.6 +/- 0.3 microM (platelet aggregation) and 1.0 +/- 0.25 microM (receptor binding). Photolysis of L662,025 in the presence of PRP produced an irreversible inhibition of platelet aggregation and specific binding of [3H]-PAF (1 nM). L662,025 did not affect collagen- or ADP-induced human platelet aggregation before or after photolysis. It is a new probe that can be used to identify and characterize the PAF-receptor.  相似文献

The effects of acetylethylcholine mustard and its aziridinium derivative (AMMA) on acetylcholine (ACh) release and [3H]quinuclidinyl benzilate (QNB) binding were studied in rat cortical synaptosomes. After incubation for 5 min at 37 degrees C, AMMA reduced [3H]QNB binding with an IC50 of 9 microM. Following incubation for 5 min with 50 microM AMMA and washing, there was a 62% reduction in the [3H]QNB binding capacity with no change in the KD value for the remaining receptors, a result indicating the irreversibility of the AMMA binding. AMMA and oxotremorine both reduced the basal and 30 mM K+-induced release of newly synthesized [3H]ACh in dose-dependent manners over a 2.5-min period. At identical 50 microM concentrations, AMMA produced a much longer inhibition of basal [3H]ACh release than oxotremorine did. The inhibition of basal and 30 mM K+-induced [3H]ACh release by AMMA (10-250 microM) was blocked by 2 microM atropine during a 2.5-min release incubation, but not during a 30-min release incubation. After synaptosomes were treated with 50 microM AMMA for 5 min and the unbound drug was washed out from the tissue, [3H]ACh release (basal and K+-induced) was reduced. AMMA (50 microM) reduced high-affinity choline uptake and ACh synthesis by greater than 90% in this tissue, but these effects did not account for the [3H]ACh release inhibition, because they were not atropine sensitive and hemicholinium-3 had no effect on [3H]ACh release under the conditions used in these studies, i.e., after extracellular [3H]choline was washed out. Taken together, these results suggest that AMMA may be an irreversible agonist at presynaptic muscarinic autoreceptors.  相似文献

Zinc ions in the micromolar range exhibited a strong inhibitory activity toward platelet activating factor (PAF)-induced human washed platelet activation, if added prior to this lipid chemical mediator. The concentration of Zn2+ required for 50% inhibition of aggregation (IC50) was inversely proportional to the concentration of PAF present. The IC50 values (in microM) for Zn2+ were 8.8 +/- 3.9, 27 +/- 5.8, and 34 +/- 1.7 against 2, 5, and 10 nM PAF, respectively (n = 3-6). Zn2+ exhibited comparable inhibitory effects on [3H]serotonin secretion and the IC50 values (in microM) were 10 +/- 1.2, 18 +/- 3.5, and 35 +/- 0.0 against 2, 5, and 10 nM PAF, respectively (n = 3). Under the same experimental conditions, aggregation and serotonin secretion induced by ADP (5 microM), arachidonic acid (3.3 microM), or thrombin (0.05 U/ml) were not inhibited. Introduction of Zn2+ within 0-2 min after PAF addition not only blocked further platelet aggregation and [3H]serotonin secretion but also caused reversal of aggregation. Analysis of [3H]PAF binding to platelets showed that Zn2+ as well as unlabeled PAF prevented the specific binding of [3H]PAF. The inhibition of [3H]PAF specific binding was proportional to the concentration of Zn2+ and the IC50 value was 18 +/- 2 microM against 1 nM [3H]PAF (n = 3). Other cations, such as Cd2+, Cu2+, and La3+, were ineffective as inhibitors of PAF at concentrations where Zn2+ showed its maximal effects. However, Cd2+ and Cu2+ at high concentrations exhibited a significant inhibition of the aggregation induced by 10 nM PAF with IC50 values being five- and sevenfold higher, respectively, than the IC50 for Zn2+, and with the IC50 values for inhibition of binding of 1 nM [3H]PAF being 5 and 19 times higher, respectively, than the IC50 for Zn2+. The specific inhibition of PAF-induced platelet activation and PAF binding to platelets suggested strongly that Zn2+ interacted with the functional receptor site of PAF or at a contiguous site.  相似文献

The binding properties of N6-cyclohexyl [3H]adenosine ( [3H]CHA) and 1,3-diethyl-8-[3H]phenylxanthine ( [3H]DPX) in rat forebrain membrane are compared. The kinetic parameters of binding for each ligand are quite distinct, with [3H]CHA displaying two populations of binding sites (KD = 0.4 +/- 0.05 nM and 4.2 +/- 0.3 nM; Bmax = 159 +/- 17 and 326 +/- 21 fmol/mg protein), whereas [3H]DPX yielded monophasic Scatchard plots (KD = 13.9 +/- 1.1 nM; Bmax = 634 +/- 27 fmol/mg protein). The metals copper, zinc, and cadmium are potent inhibitors of [3H]CHA binding, with respective IC50 concentrations of 36 microM, 250 microM, and 70 microM. Copper is a much less potent inhibitor of [3H]DPX binding (IC50 = 350 microM). The inhibitory effect of copper on both [3H]CHA and [3H]DPX binding is apparently irreversible, as membranes pretreated with copper cannot be washed free of its inhibitory effect. The inhibitory effect of both copper and zinc on [3H]CHA binding was reversed by the guanine nucleotide Gpp(NH)p. [3H]DPX binding is only partially inhibited by zinc and cadmium (60% of specific binding remains unaffected), suggesting that this adenosine receptor ligand binds to two separate sites. Guanine nucleotides had no effect on the inhibition of [3H]DPX binding by either copper or zinc. Differential thermal and proteolytic denaturation profiles are also observed for [3H]CHA and [3H]DPX binding, with the former ligand binding site being more labile in both cases. Stereospecificity is observed in the inhibition of both [3H]CHA and [3H]DPX binding, with L-N-phenylisopropyladenosine (PIA) being 50-fold more potent than D-PIA in both cases. Evidence is therefore provided that adenosine receptor agonists and antagonists have markedly different binding properties to brain adenosine receptors.  相似文献

Thyroid Hormones and Derivatives Inhibit Flunitrazepam Binding   总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0  
Thyroid hormones and their derivatives were found to inhibit [3H]flunitrazepam binding stereospecifically and in a monophasic manner. Among the compounds tested, D-thyroxine was the most potent inhibitor (IC50 = 0.5 microM). The naturally occurring L-thyroxine was about 40-fold less potent (IC50 = 20 microM). The structure-activity relationships seem to imply that the thyronine base has the principal role in the inhibition of benzodiazepine receptor binding. The type of inhibition was examined with the most potent inhibitor, D-thyroxine, by Scatchard analysis. The apparent dissociation constant (KD) of the [3H]flunitrazepam binding increased and the receptor density (Bmax) decreased as a function of D-thyroxine concentration; this is characteristic of mixed-type inhibition.  相似文献

An irreversible alpha-adrenergic blocker, benextramine [N,N'-bis(o-methoxybenzylamine-n-hexyl)-cysteamine] was used as a probe to study the possible interrelationship between alpha-adrenoceptors and the K+-activated Ca2+-channels. Benextramine, a tetraamine disulfide, acts irreversibly both on the alpha 1-adrenoceptor (t 1/2 = 3 min) and the alpha 2-adrenoceptors. These studies were carried out on rat brain synaptosomes, [3H]prazosin and [3H]clonidine binding. Benextramine blocked Ca2+ influx in rat brain synaptosomes under both depolarizing (75 mM KCl) and normal conditions (5 mM KCl). Its action at the channel is reversible with IC50 = 10 +/- 5 microM of the net Ca2+ influx. This makes benextramine a most potent Ca2+ blocker compared to verapamil or nicardipine (IC50 = 200 microM and 170 microM, respectively). Pretreatment of rat brain slices with benextramine gave a synaptosomal preparation which was devoid of either alpha 1-adrenergic or alpha 2-adrenergic binding capacity due to the irreversible binding of benextramine, but with an undisturbed Ca2+ influx. Thus, these results suggest that the alpha-adrenoceptors and the Ca2+-channels are independent of each other, and that full occupancy of the alpha-receptors does not affect the net calcium flux.  相似文献

The binding of [3H]muscimol, a gamma-aminobutyrate (GABA) receptor agonist, to a membrane preparation from pig cerebral cortex was enhanced by the anaesthetic propanidid in a concentration-dependent manner. At 0 degrees C, binding was stimulated to 220% of control values, with 50% stimulation at 60 microM-propanidid. At 37 degrees C, propanidid caused a more powerful stimulation of [3H]muscimol binding (340% of control values). Propanidid (1 mM) exerted little effect on the affinity of muscimol binding (KD approx. 10 nM), but increased the apparent number of high-affinity binding sites in the membrane by 2-fold. Enhancement of [3H]muscimol binding was observed only in the presence of Cl- ions, half-maximal activation being achieved at approx. 40 mM-Cl-. Picrotoxinin inhibited the stimulation of [3H]muscimol binding by propanidid with an IC50 (concentration causing 50% inhibition) value of approx. 25 microM. The enhancement of [3H]muscimol binding by propanidid was not additive with the enhancement produced by secobarbital. Phenobarbital inhibited the effect of propanidid and secobarbital. The GABA receptor was solubilized with Triton X-100 or with Chaps [3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]propanesulphonate]. Propanidid and secobarbital did not stimulate the binding of [3H]muscimol after solubilization with Triton X-100. However, the receptor could be solubilized by 5 mM-Chaps with retention of the stimulatory effects of propanidid and secobarbital. Unlike barbiturates, propanidid did not stimulate the binding of [3H]flunitrazepam to membranes. It is suggested that the ability to modulate the [3H]muscimol site of the GABA-receptor complex may be a common and perhaps functional characteristic of general anaesthetics.  相似文献

Opioid binding site in EL-4 thymoma cell line   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
E Fiorica  S Spector 《Life sciences》1988,42(2):199-206
Using EL-4 thymoma cell-line we found a binding site similar to the k opioid receptor of the nervous system. The Scatchard analysis of the binding of [3H] bremazocine indicated a single site with a KD = 60 +/- 17 nM and Bmax = 2.7 +/- 0.8 pmols/10(6) cells (51 pmols/mg total cell proteins). To characterize this binding site, competition studies were performed using selective compounds for the various opioid receptors. The k agonist U-50,488H was the most potent displacer of [3H] bremazocine with an IC50 value = 0.57 microM. The two stereoisomers levorphanol and dextrorphan showed the same affinity for this site (IC50 = 2.9 microM and 1.9 microM respectively). While morphine, [D-Pen2, D-Pen5] enkephalin and beta-endorphin failed to displace, except at very high concentrations, codeine demonstrated a IC50 = 60 microM, that was similar to naloxone (IC50 = 69 microM).  相似文献

In the present study we examine the mechanism by which thaligrisine, a bisbenzyltetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid, inhibits the contractile response of vascular smooth muscle. The work includes functional studies on rat isolated aorta and tail artery precontracted with noradrenaline or KCl. In other experiments rat aorta was precontracted by caffeine in the presence or absence of extracellular Ca2+. In order to assess whether thaligrisine interacts directly with calcium channel binding sites or with alpha-adrenoceptors we examined the effect of the alkaloid on [3H]-(+)-cis diltiazem, [3H]-nitrendipine and [3H]-prazosin binding to cerebral cortical membranes. The functional studies showed that the alkaloid inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner the contractile response induced by depolarization in rat aorta (IC50 = 8.9+/-2.9 microM, n=5) and in tail artery (IC50 = 3.04+/-0.3 microM, n=6) or noradrenaline induced contraction in rat aorta (IC50 = 23.0+/-0.39 microM, n=9) and in tail artery (IC50 = 3.8+/-0.9 microM, n=7). In rat aorta, thaligrisine concentration-dependently inhibited noradrenaline-induced contraction in Ca2+-free solution (IC50 = 13.3 microM, n=18). The alkaloid also relaxed the spontaneous contractile response elicited by extracellular calcium after depletion of noradrenaline-sensitive intracellular stores (IC50 = 7.7 microM, n=4). The radioligand receptor-binding study showed that thaligrisine has higher affinity for [3H]-prazosin than for [3H]-(+)-cis-diltiazem binding sites, with Ki values of 0.048+/-0.007 microM and 1.5+/-1.1 microM respectively. [3H]-nitrendipine binding was not affected by thaligrisine. The present work provides evidence that thaligrisine shows higher affinity for [3H]-prazosin binding site than [3H]-(+)-cis-diltiazem binding sites, in contrast with tetrandrine and isotetrandrine that present similar affinity for both receptors. In functional studies thaligrisine, acted as an alpha1-adrenoceptor antagonist and as a Ca2+ channel blocker, relaxing noradrenaline or KCl-induced contractions in vascular smooth muscle. This compound specifically inhibits the refilling of internal Ca2+-stores sensitive to noradrenaline, by blocking Ca2+-entry through voltage-dependent Ca2+-channels.  相似文献

In the presence of 1 microM atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) and low (0.1 mM) Mg2+ concentrations, the initial rate of binding of [3H]guanosine 5'-[beta, gamma-imido)triphosphate [( 3H]p[NH]ppG) to rat lung plasma membranes was increased twofold to threefold. ANF-dependent stimulation of the initial rate of [3H]p[NH]ppG binding was reduced at high (5 mM) Mg2+ concentrations. Preincubation of membranes with p[NH]ppG (5 min at 37 degrees C) eliminated the ANF-dependent effect on [3H]p[NH]ppG binding whereas ANF-dependent [3H]p[NH]ppG binding was unaffected by similar pretreatment with guanosine 5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate (GDP[beta S]). An increase in ANF concentration from 10 pM to 1 microM caused a 40% decrease in forskolin-stimulated or isoproterenol-stimulated adenylate cyclase activities (IC50 5 nM) in rat lung plasma membranes. GTP (100 microM) was obligatory for the ANF-dependent inhibition of adenylate cyclase, which could be completely overcome by the presence of 100 microM GDP[beta S] or the addition of 10 mM Mn2+. Reduction of Na2+ concentration from 120 mM to 20 mM had the same effect. Pertussis toxin eliminated ANF-dependent inhibition of adenylate cyclase by catalyzing ADP-ribosylation of membrane-bound Ni protein (41-kDa alpha subunit of the inhibitory guanyl-nucleotide-binding protein of adenylate cyclase). The data support the notion that one of the ANF receptors in rat lung plasma membranes is negatively coupled to a hormone-sensitive adenylate cyclase complex via the GTP-binding Ni protein.  相似文献

21-Diazo-4-methyl-4-aza-5 alpha-pregnane-3,20-dione (Diazo-MAPD) inhibits steroid 5 alpha-reductase in liver microsomes of female rats with a Ki value of 8.7 +/- 1.7 nM, and the inhibition is competitive with testosterone. It also inhibits the binding of a 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor, [3H] 17 beta-N,N-diethylcarbamoyl-4-methyl-4-aza-5 alpha-androstan-3-one ([3H]4-MA), to the enzyme in liver microsomes. The inhibition of 5 alpha-reductase activity and of inhibitor binding activity by diazo-MAPD becomes irreversible upon UV irradiation. [1,2-3H]Diazo-MAPD binds to a single high affinity site (Kd 8 nM, 125 pmol binding sites/mg of protein) in liver microsomes of female rats, and this binding requires NADPH. Without UV irradiation, this binding is reversible, and it becomes irreversible upon UV irradiation. Both the initial reversible binding and the subsequent irreversible conjugation after UV irradiation are inhibited by inhibitors (diazo-MAPD and 4-MA) and substrates (progesterone and testosterone) of 5 alpha-reductase, but they are not inhibited by 5 alpha-reduced steroids (5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone and 5 alpha-androstan-3 alpha, 17 beta-diol). NADPH stimulates the binding of [3H] diazo-MAPD to microsomes of male rat liver and prostate. UV irradiation also induces conjugation of [3H] diazo-MAPD to these microsomes. Photoaffinity labeled liver microsomes of female rats were solubilized and fractionated by high performance gel filtration. The radioactive conjugate eluted in one major peak at Mr 50,000.  相似文献

The effects of papaverine on specific [3H]-yohimbine binding to canine platelet alpha 2-adrenergic receptors and on the platelet aggregation were assessed and compared with those of verapamil. Both compounds concentration-dependently inhibited [3H]-yohimbine binding with KI values for respective compounds of 0.39 +/- 0.05 microM (n = 3) and 15 +/- 0.19 microM (n = 3). In the presence of either compound KD values in Scatchard analysis of the equilibrium ligand binding increased in concentration-dependent manner, whereas Bmax did not change, indicating competitive inhibition of the ligand binding by these compounds. (-)-Epinephrine (3 microM) potentiation of adenosine diphosphate (ADP, 0.1 microM) aggregation was inhibited by papaverine with IC50 of 11 +/- 3.6 microM (n = 4). In the same experiments verapamil inhibited the platelet aggregation with lower IC50 (3.1 +/- 0.87 microM, n = 4) in comparison with that for papaverine. These results suggest that papaverine, like verapamil, inhibits physiological response of canine platelets through alpha-adrenergic receptor stimulation by direct interaction with the receptors.  相似文献

A steroid binding protein (Mr = 110,000) has previously been identified in the plasma membrane of Xenopus laevis oocytes by photoaffinity labeling with [3H]R5020. In order to further characterize this steroid receptor, the photoaffinity labeled receptor protein was solubilized with 0.1% Brij 35. The solubilized labeled receptor yielded an approximate mol. wt of 102,000 +/- 2,000 by sucrose density gradient centrifugation, suggesting that the solubilized receptor exists as a monomer. RU 486, a synthetic progestin antagonist for mammalian cytosolic receptor systems, inhibited up to 70% of [3H] R5020 photoaffinity binding to the 110,000-Dalton receptor with an IC50 of 5 microM and induced germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) with an EC50 of 9.0 +/- 0.6 microM. GVBD induced by RU 486 was slower than with progesterone, and RU 486 was less powerful than progesterone. Micromolar concentrations of RU 486 also potentiated GVBD induced by sub-optimal concentrations of progesterone or R5020. Furthermore, RU 486 inhibited oocyte plasma membrane adenylate cyclase with an apparent IC50 of 7.5 +/- 2.5 microM. The close correlation of the EC50 value for RU 486 induction of GVBD with the IC50 values for inhibition of [3H]R5020 photoaffinity labeling of the 110,000-Dalton receptor and inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity further supports the physiological significance of the oocyte plasma membrane steroid receptor.  相似文献

The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor is thought to contain several distinct binding sites that can regulate channel opening. In the present experiments, the effects of ligands for these sites have been examined on [3H]MK-801 binding to a soluble receptor preparation, which had been passed down a gel filtration column to reduce the levels of endogenous small-molecular-weight substances. Glycine site agonists, partial agonists, and antagonists gave effects similar to those observed in membranes [EC50 values (in microM): glycine, 0.31; D-serine, 0.20; D-cycloserine, 1.46; (+)-HA-966, 4.06; and 7-chlorokynurenic acid, 1.81]. Spermine and spermidine enhanced [3H]MK-801 binding to the soluble receptor preparation (EC50, 4.3 and 20.1 microM, respectively), whereas putrescine and cadaverine gave small degrees of inhibitions. When spermine and spermidine were tested under conditions where [3H]MK-801 binding approached equilibrium, their ability to enhance [3H]MK-801 binding was much reduced, a result suggesting that the polyamines increase the rate to equilibrium. Putrescine antagonised the effects of spermine. Ifenprodil reduced [3H]MK-801 binding under both equilibrium and nonequilibrium conditions, although the high-affinity component of inhibition described in membranes was not observed. Ifenprodil antagonised spermine effects in an apparently noncompetitive manner. Desipramine was able to give total inhibition of specific [3H]MK-801 binding under nonequilibrium conditions with an IC50 of 4 microM, and this value was unaltered when [3H]MK-801 binding was allowed to reach equilibrium. These results suggest that the sites mediating the effects of glycine and its analogues, polyamines and desipramine are integral components of the NMDA receptor protein.  相似文献

A [3H]glycine recognition site in rat brain synaptic plasma membranes (SPM) has been identified, having characteristics expected of a modulatory component of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor complex. Incubation of SPM with [3H]glycine for 10 min at 2 degrees C results in saturable, reversible binding with a KD of 0.234 microM and a Bmax of 9.18 pmol/mg. A pharmacological analysis of this binding site indicates that D-serine (Ki = 0.27 microM), D-alanine (Ki = 1.02 microM), and D-cycloserine (Ki = 2.33 microM) are potent inhibitors of binding, whereas the corresponding L isomers have significantly less activity (Ki = 25.4 microM, 15.9 microM, and greater than 100 microM, respectively). Inactive at concentrations of up to 100 microM were strychnine, L-valine, N,N-dimethylglycine, aminomethylphosphonate, and aminomethylsulfonate. The active compounds were analyzed further for their ability to stimulate [3H]1-[1-(2-thienyl)cyclohexyl]piperidine [( 3H]TCP) binding to Triton X-100-washed SPM. Results indicate that the affinity of the compounds for the [3H]glycine recognition site correlates with the ability of these analogues to stimulate [3H]TCP binding.  相似文献

Metaphit (1-[1-(3-isothiocyanatophenyl)cyclohexyl]-piperidine), a derivative of phencyclidine that contains an isothiocyanate group on the meta position of the aromatic ring, resembles its parent compound (phencyclidine) in its ability to inhibit the binding of the stimulant drug [3H]threo-(+/-)-methylphenidate to crude synaptosomal membranes from rat striatal tissue (IC50 = 1.4 and 6.2 microM for phencyclidine and Metaphit, respectively). Unlike phencyclidine, however, Metaphit appears to inhibit binding of the radiolabeled stimulant in an irreversible manner, as the degree of inhibition of binding of the stimulant does not diminish when the Metaphit-treated tissue is subjected to repeated washings before determination of the binding of [3H]threo-(+/-)-methylphenidate. This finding suggests that Metaphit may be a useful tool in the study of the molecular basis of stimulant action.  相似文献

Conantokins T and G are polypeptide toxins present in snails of the genus Conus. These substances were recently reported to act as N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonists. In the present study, we examined the possible mechanisms producing this antagonism. Conantokin-G inhibited spermine- and spermidine-stimulated [3H]MK-801 binding to extensively washed rat forebrain membranes in a noncompetitive manner with IC50 values of approximately 507 and approximately 946 nM, respectively. In contrast, glutamate-enhanced [3H]MK-801 binding was unaffected by conantokin-G concentrations of less than or equal to 20 microM. At concentrations greater than or equal to 5 microM, conantokin-G effected a modest, noncompetitive inhibition of glycine-stimulated [3H]MK-801 binding and also produced a small enhancement of basal [3H]MK-801 binding. Conantokin-G reduced (IC50 approximately 1.08 microM) the NMDA-stimulated accumulation of cyclic GMP in cerebellar granule cell cultures to basal values, but did not affect kainate-mediated increases in cyclic GMP. These findings indicate that conantokin-G acts as a noncompetitive NMDA antagonist through an allosteric inhibition of polyamine responses. The neurochemical profile of this polypeptide is distinct from previously described noncompetitive NMDA antagonists.  相似文献

The IC50 value for inhibition of specific [3H]yohimbine binding to rat cerebral cortical membranes by clonidine was increased, and the Hill coefficient (nH) approached unity in the presence of 150 microM GTP. Pretreatment of membranes with islet-activating protein (IAP) in the presence of NAD caused an increase in IC50 and nH values for clonidine compared with control membranes in the absence of GTP, the addition of which was without effect. Scatchard analysis showed that the Bmax value of the high-affinity component in [3H]clonidine binding was decreased by pretreatment with IAP/NAD. GTP in a concentration range of 0.1 microM-1 mM caused a significant elevation of [3H]yohimbine binding. In IAP/NAD-pretreated membranes, however, [3H]yohimbine binding was no longer affected by GTP, although IAP/NAD significantly (p less than 0.01) increased [3H]yohimbine binding compared to control. IAP ADP-ribosylated 41,000 dalton proteins of cerebral cortical membranes. From these results, it can be suggested that inhibitory guanine nucleotide regulatory protein with Mr 41,000 couples to alpha 2-adrenoceptors to regulate binding affinity of agonists and antagonists in membranes of the rat cerebral cortex.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to better understand the mechanisms that underlie adaptive changes in GABAA receptors following their prolonged exposure to drugs. Exposure (48 h) of human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells stably expressing recombinant alpha1beta2gamma2S GABAA receptors to flumazenil (1 or 5 microM) in the presence of GABA (1 microM) enhanced the maximum number (Bmax) of [3H]flunitrazepam binding sites without affecting their affinity (Kd). The flumazenil-induced enhancement in Bmax was not counteracted by diazepam (1 microM). GABA (1 nM-1 mM) enhanced [3H]flunitrazepam binding to membranes obtained from control and flumazenil-pretreated cells in a concentration-dependent manner. No significant differences were observed in either the potency (EC50) or efficacy (Emax) of GABA to potentiate [3H]flunitrazepam binding. However, in flumazenil pretreated cells the basal [3H]flunitrazepam and [3H]TBOB binding were markedly enhanced. GABA produced almost complete inhibition of [3H]TBOB binding to membranes obtained from control and flumazenil treated cells. The potencies of GABA to inhibit this binding, as shown by a lack of significant changes in the IC50 values, were not different between vehicle and drug treated cells. The results suggest that chronic exposure of HEK 293 cells stably expressing recombinant alpha1beta2gamma2S GABAA receptors to flumazenil (in the presence of GABA) up-regulates benzodiazepine and convulsant binding sites, but it does not affect the allosteric interactions between these sites and the GABA binding site. Further studies are needed to elucidate these phenomena.  相似文献

To investigate aspects of the biochemical nature of membrane-bound dopamine D1 receptors, rat striatal homogenates were pretreated with heavy metal cations and some other chemical agents, and their effects on D1 receptors were subsequently determined using a standard [3H](R)-(+)-8-chloro-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-3-methyl-5-phenyl-1-N-3- benzazepine([3H]SCH 23390) binding assay. Incubation of striatal membranes with as little as 1 microM Hg2+, 10 microM Cu2+, and 10 microM Cd2+ completely prevented specific [3H]SCH 23390 binding. The effect of Cu2+, 1.5 microM, was noncompetitive in nature, whereas 3-5 microM Cu2+ afforded mixed-type inhibition. The inhibitory effect of Cu2+ was fully reversed by dithiothreitol (0.1-1 mM). Cu2+ (2 microM) did not affect the affinity of cis-flupenthixol or clozapine for remaining [3H]SCH 23390 sites. A second series of cations, Co2+ (30 microM), Ni2+ (30 microM), Mn2+ (1 mM), Ca2+ (25 mM), and Ba2+ (20 mM), inhibited specific [3H]SCH 23390 binding by 50% at the concentrations indicated. The thiol alkylating reagent N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) (0.2 mM) reduced specific binding by 70%. The effect of NEM was completely prevented by coincubation with a D1 receptor saturating concentration of SCH 23390 (20 nM) or dopamine (10 microM). The results indicated that the dopamine D1 receptor is a thiol protein and that a thiol group is essential for the ligand binding.  相似文献
