The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.

Modulation of basal intracellular calcium by inverse agonists and phorbol myristate acetate in rat-1 fibroblasts stably expressing alpha1d-adrenoceptors. (1/223)

In rat-1 fibroblasts stably expressing alpha1d-adrenoceptors BMY 7378, phentolamine, chloroethylclonidine and 5-methyl urapidil decreased basal [Ca2+]i. WB 4101 induced a very small effect on this parameter but when added before the other antagonists it blocked their effect. All these agents inhibited the action of norepinephrine. Phorbol myristate acetate also blocked the effect of norepinephrine and decreased basal [Ca2+]i. Staurosporine inhibited these effects of the phorbol ester. Our results suggest that: (1) alpha1d-adrenoceptors exhibit spontaneous ligand-independent activity, (2) BMY 7378, phentolamine, chloroethylclonidine and 5-methyl urapidil act as inverse agonists and (3) protein kinase C activation blocks spontaneous and agonist-stimulated alpha1d-adrenoceptor activity.  (+info)

Regulation of growth in the adult cardiomyocytes. (2/223)

Cardiomyocytes of adult myocardium increase their cellular mass in response to growth stimuli. They undergo hypertrophic growth but they do not proliferate in contrast to immature cardiomyocytes. Growth stimuli of the adult cardiomyocytes include classical growth hormones, various neuroendocrine factors, and the increase in mechanical load. The signal transduction of alpha1-adrenoceptor stimulation has been investigated in greatest detail and may therefore be taken as a reference for other humoral stimuli. It involves the activation of protein kinase C (PKC) and, downstream of PKC activation, of two separate signaling pathways, one including the mitogen-activated protein kinase and another including PI3-kinase and p70(s6k) as key steps. Activation of the first pathway leads to re-expression of fetal genes, activation of the second pathway to a general activation of protein synthesis, and cellular growth. In neonatal cardiomyocytes, mechanical stretch causes growth by an activation of an autocrine mechanism including angiotensin II and endothelin. This mechanism does not operate, however, in adult cardiomyocytes. A mechanism of mechanotransduction has not yet been identified on adult cardiomyocytes but integrins may play a part. In microgravity, the scenario of myocardial growth stimulation is altered. On the systemic level, there are changes in hemodynamic and neuroendocrine regulation that exert indirect effects on the myocardium. Microgravity may also exert a direct cellular effect by the absence of a constant gravitational load component.  (+info)

alpha1-Adrenergic receptor stimulation of mitogenesis in human vascular smooth muscle cells: role of tyrosine protein kinases and calcium in activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase. (3/223)

Signaling pathways of many G protein-coupled receptors overlap with those of receptor tyrosine kinases. We have found previously that alpha1-adrenergic receptors stimulate DNA synthesis and cell proliferation in human vascular smooth muscle cells; these effects were attenuated by the tyrosine protein kinase (TPK) inhibitor genistein and the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) antagonist 2-aminopurine. Experiments were designed to determine if activation of alpha1 receptors directly stimulated TPKs and MAPKs in human vascular smooth muscle cells. Norepinephrine stimulated time- and concentration-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of multiple proteins, including p52-, 75-, 85-, 120-, and 145-kDa proteins. Increased TPK activity was demonstrated in proteins precipitated by an antiphosphotyrosine antibody, both in autophosphorylation assays and with a peptide substrate. These effects of norepinephrine were completely blocked by alpha1 receptor antagonists. A membrane-permeable Ca2+ chelator [1,2-bis(o-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N, N',N'-tetraacetic acid tetra(acetoxymethyl)ester], completely blocked norepinephrine stimulation of phosphorylation of tyrosine proteins, suggesting that intracellular Ca2+ plays a critical role in alpha1 receptor stimulation phosphorylation of tyrosine proteins. Of the tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins, the results suggest that two of them are PLCgamma1 and adapter protein Shc. Also, alpha1 receptor stimulation caused a time-dependent increase in MAPK activity due to increased phosphorylation of p42/44(ERK1/2). The alpha1 receptor-mediated activation of MAPK was also attenuated by TPK inhibitors and intracellular Ca2+ chelator [1, 2-bis(o-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid tetra(acetoxymethyl)ester]. These results suggest that phosphorylation of tyrosine proteins and intracellular Ca2+ plays a critical role in alpha1 receptor-stimulated MAPK signaling pathways, potentially contributing to increased DNA synthesis and cell proliferation.  (+info)

Analysis of alpha 1L-adrenoceptor pharmacology in rat small mesenteric artery. (4/223)

1. To illuminate the controversy on alpha 1A- or alpha 1L-adrenoceptor involvement in noradrenaline-mediated contractions of rat small mesenteric artery (SMA), we have studied the effects of subtype-selective alpha 1-adrenoceptor agonists and antagonists under different experimental conditions. 2. The agonist potency order in rat SMA was: A61603 >> SKF89748-A > cirazoline > noradrenaline > ST-587 > methoxamine. Prazosin antagonized all agonists with a low potency (pA2: 8.29-8.80) indicating the involvement of alpha 1L-rather than alpha 1A-adrenoceptors. 3. The putative alpha 1L-adrenoceptor antagonist JTH-601, but not the alpha 1B-adrenoceptor antagonist chloroethylclonidine (10 microM) antagonized noradrenaline-induced contractions of SMA. The potency of the selective alpha 1D-adrenoceptor antagonist BMY 7378 against noradrenaline (pA2 = 6.16 +/- 0.13) and of the selective alpha 1A-adrenoceptor antagonist RS-17053 against noradrenaline (pKB = 8.35 +/- 0.10) and against the selective alpha 1A-adrenoceptor agonist A-61603 (pKB = 8.40 +/- 0.09) were too low to account for alpha 1D- and alpha 1A-adrenoceptor involvement. 4. The potency of RS-17053 (pKB/pA2's = 7.72-8.46) was not affected by lowering temperature, changing experimental protocol or inducing myogenic tone via KCl or U46619. 5. Selective protection of a putative alpha 1A-adrenoceptor population against the irreversible action of phenoxybenzamine also failed to increase the potency of RS-17053 (pA2 = 8.25 +/- 0.06 against A61603). 6. Combined concentration-ratio analysis demonstrated that tamsulosin, which does not discriminate between alpha 1A- and alpha 1L-adrenoceptors, and RS-17053 competed for binding at the same site in the SMA. 7. In summary, data obtained in our experiments in rat SMA indicate that the alpha 1-adrenoceptor mediating noradrenaline-induced contraction displays a distinct alpha 1L-adrenoceptor pharmacology. This study does not provide evidence for the hypothesis that alpha 1L-adrenoceptors represent an affinity state of the alpha 1A-adrenoceptor in functional assays. Furthermore, there is no co-existing alpha 1A-adrenoceptor in the SMA.  (+info)

Modulation of the pacemaker current If by beta-adrenoceptor subtypes in ventricular myocytes isolated from hypertensive and normotensive rats. (5/223)

OBJECTIVE: Both beta 1- and beta 2-adrenoceptors (beta 1-AR and beta 2-AR) are functionally present in human and rat ventricular myocytes. The two receptor subtypes are differently regulated during the development of myocardial hypertrophy and failure. I(f) is expressed in human and rat ventricular myocytes. In hypertrophied myocytes isolated from old spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) the density is much larger than in age-matched normotensive Wistar Kyoto (WKY). Due to the possible relevance of I(f) as an arrhythmogenic mechanism in the rat and human ventricle, we studied and compared the effects of beta 1-AR and beta 2-AR stimulation on I(f) in both hypertrophied and normal left ventricular myocytes of 18-month old SHR and WKY. METHODS: The whole-cell configuration of the patch-clamp technique was employed. Noradrenaline (NA, 1 microM) was used to stimulate beta 1-AR and isoprenaline (ISO, 1 microM) in the presence of the beta 1-AR antagonist CGP 20712A (0.1 microM) to stimulate beta 2-AR. RESULTS: In SHR, NA increased I(f) by causing a 10.8 +/- 0.9 mV (n = 10) positive shift in the voltage of maximal activation (V1/2); this effect was completely reversed by CGP 20712A. beta 2-AR stimulation was effective in seven out of 13 cells tested, where it caused a small positive shift in V1/2 (4.0 +/- 1.7 mV). Cyclopentyladenosine (CPA), a selective A1-receptor agonist, reversed the effect of NA; the antiadrenergic action of CPA was abolished in cells pre-incubated with pertussis toxin (PTX) to block inhibitory G proteins (Gi). In PTX-treated cells the shift in V1/2 caused by both beta 2-AR (9.6 +/- 1.7 mV, n = 6, p < 0.05) and beta 1-AR (17.6 +/- 1.9 mV, n =7, p < 0.05) was significantly greater than in control cells. Both beta-AR subtypes modulated I(f) activation also in WKY: beta 1-AR shifted V1/2 by 16.0 +/- 1.4 mV (n = 15) and beta 2-AR by 4.2 +/- 1.1 mV (n = 7). However, in PTX-treated WKY cells only the beta 2-AR effect was potentiated (shift in V1/2: 11.4 +/- 1.4 mV, n = 9, p < 0.01), while the beta 1-AR response was unchanged (18.9 +/- 4.2 mV, n = 5, n.s.). CONCLUSIONS: I(f) expressed in SHR hypertrophied ventricular myocytes is modulated by catecholamines mainly through the stimulation of the beta 1-AR subtype. The beta 1-AR response is, however, significantly lower than that observed in myocytes from normotensive rats, probably as a consequence of the presence of an increased inhibitory activity of Gi proteins. This post-receptorial control may be seen as a mechanism to limit the arrhythmogenicity of beta-AR stimulation in myocardial hypertrophy and failure.  (+info)

Ovarian hormone dependence of alpha(1)-adrenoceptor activation of the nitric oxide-cGMP pathway: relevance for hormonal facilitation of lordosis behavior. (6/223)

The ovarian hormones estradiol (E(2)) and progesterone (P) facilitate rat lordosis behavior in part by regulating the expression of and signal transduction by adrenoceptors in the hypothalamus (HYP) and preoptic area (POA). The major adrenoceptor subtype mediating E(2) and P facilitation of lordosis is the alpha(1)-adrenoceptor. In the present studies, we tested the hypotheses that (1) alpha(1)-adrenoceptors in the HYP enhance lordosis responses by activating the nitric oxide (NO)-cGMP signaling pathway, and (2) coupling of alpha(1)-adrenoceptors to this signal transduction pathway is hormone-dependent. Basal levels of cGMP were significantly higher in HYP and POA slices from animals treated with E(2) and P when compared with slices from ovariectomized controls or females treated with only E(2) or P. When slices of HYP and POA from ovariectomized female rats were incubated with norepinephrine or the selective alpha(1)-adrenoceptor agonist phenylephrine, cGMP accumulation was observed only if slices had been derived from females treated with both E(2) and P before experimentation. Moreover, alpha(1)-adrenoceptor stimulation of cGMP synthesis was blocked by an inhibitor of NO synthase, confirming that these receptors act by NO-mediated stimulation of soluble guanylyl cyclase. Behavioral studies demonstrated further that the cell-permeable cGMP analog 8-bromoadenosine-cGMP reverses the inhibitory effects of the alpha(1)-adrenoceptor antagonist prazosin on lordosis behavior in E(2)- and P-treated female rats. Thus, the NO-cGMP pathway mediates the facilitatory effects of alpha(1)-adrenoceptors on lordosis behavior in female rats, and previous exposure of the HYP and POA to both E(2) and P are required to link alpha(1)-adrenoceptors to this pathway.  (+info)

Direct effects of alpha1- and alpha2-adrenergic agonists on spinal and cerebral pial vessels in dogs. (7/223)

BACKGROUND: The effects of adrenergic agonists, often used as local anesthetic additives or spinal analgesics, on spinal vessels have not been firmly established. The authors investigated the effects of alpha2- and alpha1-adrenergic agonists on spinal and cerebral pial vessels in vivo. METHODS: Pentobarbital-anesthetized dogs (n = 28) were prepared for measurement of spinal pial-vessel diameter in a spinal-window preparation. The authors applied dexmedetomidine, clonidine, phenylephrine, or epinephrine in three different concentrations (0.5, 5.0, and 50 microg/ml; [2.1, 1.9, 2.5, and 2.3] x [10(-6), 10(-5), and 10(-4)] M, respectively) under the window (one drug in each dog) and measured spinal pial arteriolar and venular diameters in a sequential manner. To enable the comparison of their effects on cerebral vessels, the authors also administered these drugs under a cranial window. RESULTS: On topical administration, each drug constricted spinal pial arterioles in a concentration-dependent manner. Phenylephrine and epinephrine induced a significantly larger arteriolar constriction than dexmedetomidine or clonidine at 5 microg/ml (8%, 11%, 0%, and 1%, respectively). Spinal pial venules tended to be less constricted than arterioles. In cerebral arterioles, greater constrictions were induced by dexmedetomidine and clonidine than those induced by phenylephrine and epinephrine (14%, 8%, 0%, and 1%, respectively). Cerebral pial venules tended to exhibit larger constrictions than cerebral arterioles (unlike in spinal vessels). CONCLUSION: Dexmedetomidine and clonidine constricted spinal vessels in a concentration-dependent manner, but such vasoconstrictions were smaller than those induced by phenylephrine and epinephrine.  (+info)

Modulation of norepinephrine release by ATP-dependent K(+)-channel activators and inhibitors in guinea-pig and human isolated right atrium. (8/223)

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to show, whether ATP sensitive K+ channels (KATP channels), are involved in the modulation of norepinephrine (NE) release from the sympathetic nerves innervating the guinea-pig and human right atrium. METHODS: The resting and stimulation-evoked release of [3H]norepinephrine ([3H]NE) was measured from the isolated guinea-pig and human right atrium and the effect of activators and inhibitors of ATP sensitive K+ channels was studied. RESULTS: Cromakalim (30-300 microM), a KATP channel-agonist decreased concentration-dependently the stimulation-evoked release of NE from the guinea-pig atrium, an effect, antagonized by glibenclamide, a KATP channel-antagonist (30 microM). Diazoxide (30-300 microM), another activator of the KATP channels reduced the resting release of NE, and also attenuated the evoked release at a single concentration (100 microM), and this latter action was also counteracted by glibenclamide (30 microM). Pinacidil, increased dose-dependently the resting and stimulation-evoked release of NE in a glibenclamide-sensitive manner and reversed the inhibitory effect of cromakalim (100 microM), suggesting that it acts as an antagonist. Glibenclamide (30-300 microM), by itself enhanced the stimulation-evoked release of [3H]NE, and also increased the resting release of NE. On the other hand, 5-hydroxydecanoate, an ischemia-selective inhibitor of cardiac KATP channels did not change NE release. Adenosine, (30-300 microM), an A1-receptor agonist, clonidine (3 microM), an alpha 2-adrenoceptor agonist and oxotremorine, a muscarinic receptor agonist (30 microM) all reduced the evoked release of [3H]NE, but these effects were not modified by glibenclamide (300 microM), indicating that neuronal adenosine (A1), adrenergic (alpha 2) and muscarinic (M3) receptors do not act on KATP channels. In the human right atrium, cromakalim, and diazoxide did not affect significantly the release of [3H]NE. However, glibenclamide (30-300 microM) and pinacidil (30-300 microM) enhanced dose-dependently the evoked-release of NE, and pinacidil also augmented the resting release. CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate that sympathetic nerve endings of the human and guinea-pig atrium are endowed with ATP-sensitive K+ channels. These channels responded to agonists and antagonists under the experimental conditions applied and they could modulate the release of NE thereby affecting the autonomic control of cardiac function under various physiological and pathophysiological conditions.  (+info)
