Examination by radioligand binding of the alpha1 adrenoceptors in the mesenteric arterial vasculature during the development of salt-sensitive hypertension.
    Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's archives of pharmacology, 1997, Volume: 356, Issue:3

    Previous experiments have suggested that the vascular smooth muscle of Dahl salt-sensitive (DS) rats may possess a difference in the alpha1-adrenoceptor population or its transduction processes compared to Dahl salt-resistant (DR) rats. The purpose of the current research is to study the role of alpha1-adrenoceptors in the specific supersensitivity to norepinephrine (NE) seen prior to and early in the development of hypertension in the DS rat. Experiments in isolated perfused superior mesenteric arterial vasculature from DS rats chronically fed a high (7%) salt diet for 5 days or 3 weeks, in the absence or presence of an elevation in systolic blood pressure, respectively, demonstrated a specific supersensitivity to NE relative to DR rats. The enhanced responsiveness was specific to NE after 5 days of high salt since no differences in sensitivity of these preparations was observed to either KCl or 5-HT. A small but significant elevation in sensitivity to KCl following 3 weeks of treatment suggests that multiple factors may contribute to tissue responsiveness at this time. Radioligand binding experiments were performed using [125I]-HEAT to study the alpha1-adrenoceptor population and its subtypes. Saturation experiments using membranes prepared from the superior mesenteric arterial vasculature or mesenteric arterial branches showed no significant differences in overall alpha1-adrenoceptor population between DS and DR rats fed a high-salt diet for 5 days or 3 weeks. Competition experiments using membranes prepared from the superior mesenteric arterial branches in the presence of the alpha1A-subtype selective antagonist 5-methylurapidil showed two binding sites (high and low affinity) in these resistance vessels but no significant differences in nature or ratio of these sites between the DS and DR groups. These results suggest that changes in the alpha1-adrenoceptor population are not responsible for the specific supersensitivity to NE, which may be an early event in the induction and development of hypertension.

Alpha 1-adrenergic receptors in neuronal cultures from rat brain: increased expression in the spontaneously hypertensive rat.
    Journal of neurochemistry, 1986, Volume: 47, Issue:4

    Neuronal cells in primary culture from 1-day-old brains of normotensive, Wistar-Kyoto strain (WKY) and spontaneously hypertensive (SH) rats have been utilized to study the expression of alpha 1-adrenergic receptors. Binding of a selective alpha 1 antagonist, [125I]2-[beta-(4-hydroxy-3-iodophenyl)-ethylaminomethyl]-tetralone ([125I]HEAT) to neuronal membranes prepared from primary brain cultures of WKY and SH rats was 75-80% specific, rapid, and time-dependent although the binding was 1.5-2 times higher in neuronal membranes from SH rat brain cultures. Kinetic analysis of the association and dissociation data demonstrated no significant differences between rat strains. Competition-inhibition experiments provided IC50 values for various antagonists and agonists in the following order: prazosin less than phentolamine less than yohimbine less than phenylephrine less than norepinephrine less than propranolol, suggesting that [125I]HEAT bound selectively to alpha 1-adrenergic receptors. Scatchard analysis of the binding data provided straight lines for both strains of rats, indicating the presence of a homogeneous population of binding sites. It also showed that the increase in the binding in neuronal cells from SH rat brains over those from normotensive WKY controls was a result of an increase in the number of alpha 1-adrenergic receptors. Incubation of neuronal cultures from both strains of rats with phenylephrine, an alpha 1-adrenergic agonist, caused a time- and dose-dependent decrease in the binding of [125I]HEAT. This decrease was due to a decrease in the number of alpha 1-adrenergic receptors.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
