Isoprenaline treatment of C6-glioma cells induced a fast decrease in the number of beta-adrenergic receptors as determined by binding of [3H]CGP-12177, which paralleled the decrease in the hormonally stimulated adenylate cyclase activity. The total number of receptors, as determined by binding of (-)-[3H]dihydroalprenolol, did not decrease. Separation of the beta-adrenergic receptors on a sucrose density gradient showed that the decrease in the number of receptors detectable with CGP-12177 was due to a movement of the receptors from the plasma membrane to a vesicular cell compartment. By using both (-)-[3H]dihydroalprenolol and [3H]CGP-12177 it is thus possible to differentiate between the total number of receptors and those present at the plasma membrane in an unfractionated cell lysate.

The reappearance of beta-adrenergic receptors in C6-glioma cells after desensitization with isoproterenol was studied using the antagonist [3H]CGP-12177. Reappearance had the following properties: (a) it occurred in intact cells only, (b) it was temperature dependent, (c) it required an Na+/H+ gradient, low intracellular Ca2+ activity, and (d) it required ATP, and (e) intact lysosomes. The results suggest endocytosis and recycling of the beta-adrenergic receptor after agonist treatment.

Adipocytes from thyroidectomized rats contain 3 times less [3H]dihydroalprenolol-binding sites (beta-adrenergic receptors) than adipocytes from euthyroid animals. This alteration is not solely due to cell-size differences, but also to a thyroidectomy-induced defect in beta-adrenergic receptor density per adipocyte surface area, a defect that is furthermore corrected by tri-iodothyronine treatment.

Both a high physiological concentration (13.1 nM) of epinephrine (E) and acute exercise (AEx) have previously been shown to increase 125I-insulin binding in skeletal muscle. To investigate the site and mechanism of the effect of epinephrine on binding and the possible link between epinephrine- and AEx-enhanced insulin binding, we measured insulin binding in three different preparations: 1) crude membranes derived from whole soleus muscle incubated in vitro with 13.1 nM E, 2) crude membranes with E present in the binding assay, and 3) purified plasma membranes with E present. Epinephrine enhanced binding in all three preparations by 169, 144, and 164%, respectively, at low concentrations of insulin but had little effect at high concentrations. Epinephrine, therefore appears to have its effect at the plasma membrane. Propranolol (10 microM), a beta-adrenergic antagonist, blocked E-enhanced insulin binding and when added to crude membranes made from soleus and extensor digitorum longus muscle of AEx rats reversed the increase in binding seen with exercise. This indicates that E-enhanced insulin binding is mediated by beta-adrenergic receptors and that AEx enhances insulin binding via beta-adrenergic receptors. Sodium orthovanadate (3 mM), a phosphotyrosyl-protein phosphatase inhibitor, also inhibited the increase in insulin binding due to E, implying that E may increase insulin binding by activating a phosphotyrosyl-protein phosphatase which decreases the phosphorylation of a plasma membrane protein, presumably the insulin receptor.

To examine the effects of oxygen free radicals on alpha- and beta-adrenergic receptors, rat heart crude membranes were incubated with xanthine plus xanthine oxidase, H2O2, or H2O2 plus Fe2+. The assay of beta-adrenergic receptors involving [3H]dihydroalprenolol (DHA) binding revealed that the maximal number of binding sites (Bmax) and dissociation constant (Kd) were increased by xanthine plus xanthine oxidase. H2O2 increased the Kd value for [3H]DHA binding. When a hydrophilic ligand, [3H]CGP-12177, was used for the beta-adrenergic receptor assay, an increase in Kd value without any changes in Bmax value was evident on treating the membranes with xanthine plus xanthine oxidase. The assay of alpha-adrenergic receptors involving [3H]prazosin binding showed a decrease in the number of binding sites and an increase in Kd value only after a prolonged period of incubation. Both H2O2 and H2O2 plus Fe2+ increased the Kd value for [3H]prazosin without changes in Bmax. Changes in both alpha- and beta-adrenergic receptors similar to those with crude membranes were also seen by employing the purified heart sarcolemmal membranes. These data indicate that adrenergic receptors in the sarcolemmal membranes are modified by oxygen free radicals.

We have studied the properties of beta-adrenergic receptors and of their interaction with adenylate cyclase in the chick myocardium during embryogenesis. Between 4.5 and 7.5 days in ovo the number of receptors determined by (-)-[3H]dihydroalprenolol ([3H]DHA) binding is constant at approx. 0.36 pmol of receptor/mg of protein. By day 9 the density decreases significantly to 0.22 pmol of receptor/mg of protein. At day 12.5-13.5 the number was 0.14-0.18 pmol of receptor/mg of protein. This number did not change further up to day 16. The same results were obtained with guanosine 5'-[beta, gamma-imido]triphosphate (p[NH]ppG) added to the assay mixtures. There was no significant change in receptor affinity for the antagonist [3H]DHA between days 5.5 and 13. Despite the decrease in numbers of beta-adrenergic receptors, there was no change in basal, p[NH]ppG-, isoprenaline- or isoprenaline-plus-p[NH]ppG-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity between days 3 and 12 of development. We conclude that beta-adrenergic receptors and adenylate cyclase are not co-ordinately regulated during early embryonic development of the chick heart. Some of the beta-adrenergic receptors present very early in the ontogeny of cardiac tissue appear not to be coupled to adenylate cyclase since their loss is not reflected in decreased activation of the enzyme.

The effect of exercise training on the antilipolytic action of insulin was studied in rat adipocytes. Exercise training enhanced lipolysis induced by norepinephrine. Insulin dose dependently inhibited norepinephrine- (1 microM) stimulated lipolysis in both groups. Its inhibition rate was significantly greater in the trained than in the control group. Thus, exercise training enhanced the antilipolytic action of insulin. In the control group, insulin (1,000 microU/ml) reduced the displacement rate of [3H]CGP-12177 binding to adipocytes by low concentrations of (-)-norepinephrine. The slope factor without insulin was 0.76, whereas that with insulin was 0.95. In the trained group, insulin did not affect the competition binding of (-)-norepinephrine for [3H]CGP-12177. The displacement rate of [3H]CGP-12177 binding from adipocytes by low concentrations of (-)-norepinephrine was significantly greater in the trained than in the control group. The number of surface beta-adrenergic receptors per adipocyte was smaller in the trained than in the control group. Cilostamide, which blocks the antilipolytic action of insulin, restored lipolysis in both groups. The recovery rate was significantly greater in the trained than in the control group. These findings suggest that the enhanced antilipolytic action by insulin in the trained group occurs at a site distal to the binding of norepinephrine to beta-adrenergic receptors and that it is due to the increased activity of particulate low-Michaelis constant phosphodiesterase.
