The effects of continuous exposure of cultured cells expressing the human norepinephrine transporter (hNET) to the hNET inhibitor desipramine on hNET expression and function were studied. Exposure of HEK-293 cells transfected stably with the hNET cDNA (293-hNET cells) to desipramine for 3 days reduced the specific binding of [3H]nisoxetine in membrane homogenates in a concentration-dependent manner. The magnitude of the reductions in [3H]nisoxetine binding to hNET was dependent on the length of time of the exposure to desipramine, reaching 77% after a 21-day exposure. The reduction of [3H]nisoxetine binding returned to control levels within 72 h after a 3-day exposure to desipramine. Reductions in [3H]nisoxetine binding to hNET were accompanied by time-dependent and exposure concentration-dependent reductions in hNET protein levels as determined by western blotting. Similar to binding, hNET protein levels returned to control levels 72 h after cessation of desipramine exposure. Northern blotting indicated that exposure of 293-hNET cells to desipramine did not significantly alter hNET mRNA levels. Uptake of [3H]norepinephrine by 293-hNET cells was markedly reduced after a 3-day exposure to desipramine. However, desipramine exposure had no effect on uptake of [3H]glutamate or [3H]alanine. The present findings imply that down-regulation of the hNET in 293-hNET cells induced by desipramine results from a selective reduction in hNET protein levels, presumably a consequence of either a reduction in the translation of hNET mRNA or from an enhanced degradation of hNET protein. 相似文献

We studied the effects of cotinine, the major metabolite of nicotine, on nicotine-induced increase in [3H]phorbol dibutyrate binding, activation of protein kinase C and [3H]noradrenaline release in primary cultured bovine adrenal chromaffin cells. Cotinine (1 mM, 15 min.) and nicotine (10 microM, 5 min.) increased the [3H]phorbol binding by 100% and 150%, respectively. Both a short-term (10 min.) and a long-term (24 hr) pretreatment with cotinine inhibited the effect of nicotine. A 24 hr pretreatment with cotinine (1 mM) also reduced the nicotine-induced increase in membrane-bound protein kinase C activity. Cotinine pretreatment (10 min.) dose-dependently inhibited the release of [3H]noradrenaline induced by nicotine and dimethylphenylpiperazinium. Cotinine pretreatment did not reduce the [3H]noradrenaline release induced by high extracellular potassium (56 mM) or veratrine (10 mg l-1). The results indicate that cotinine inhibits activation of protein kinase C and noradrenaline release induced by nicotinic agonists in primary cultures of bovine adrenal chromaffin cells. The results suggest that pre-existing cotinine could modify responses to acute exposure to nicotine in neural systems. 相似文献

The aims of this study were to obtain conclusive evidence about the roles of a 5-hydroxytryptamine [5-HT] transporter and uptake1 in the dissipation of 5-HT in the lungs of the rat and to compare the properties of the 5-HT transporter in rat lungs with that in other tissues, including brain and platelets. In the first part of the study, the IC50 values of a range of selective inhibitors and substrates of the 5-HT transporter or uptake1 were determined for inhibition of uptake of 5-HT or noradrenaline in intact perfused lungs of rats. Monoamine oxidase was inhibited and, in experiments with noradrenaline, catechol-O-methyltransferase was also inhibited. Initial rates of uptake of 5-HT or noradrenaline were measured in lungs perfused with 2 nmol/l 3H-5-HT or 3H-noradrenaline for 2 min, in the absence or presence of at least three concentrations of paroxetine, citalopram, fluoxetine, 7-methyltryptamine, tryptamine, nisoxetine, imipramine, 5-HT, desipramine, (+)-oxaprotiline, cocaine or tyramine. The results showed that pharmacologically distinct transporters are involved in the uptake of 5-HT and noradrenaline in rat lungs, since there was no significant correlation between the IC50 values for inhibition of 5-HT and noradrenaline uptake in the lungs. However, there were significant correlations between the IC50 values for (a) inhibition of 5-HT uptake in rat lungs and of uptake by the 5-HT transporter in rat brain and (b) inhibition of noradrenaline uptake in rat lungs and of uptake1 in rat phaeochromocytoma PC-12 cells. The results support the conclusion that 5-HT uptake in rat lungs occurs, at least predominantly, by a 5-HT transporter which is very similar to or the same as that in other tissues, such as the brain, and provide further evidence for transport of noradrenaline by uptake1. Further experiments were carried out to determine whether there is any transport of 5-HT by uptake1 or of noradrenaline by the 5-HT transporter in rat lungs. Lungs were perfused with 2 nmol/l 3H-5-HT or 3H-noradrenaline for 2 min in the absence or presence of 1 mumol/l citalopram, desipramine, or citalopram and desipramine. The results showed that there was no evidence of any transport of 5-HT in the lungs by uptake1 or of noradrenaline by the 5-HT transporter, in that desipramine had no effect on 5-HT uptake (in the absence or presence of citalopram) and citalopram had no effect on noradrenaline uptake (in the absence or presence of desipramine). The final series of experiments was carried out to determine whether, at high concentrations of the amine, there is any interaction of 5-HT with uptake1 or of noradrenaline with the 5-HT transporter. Noradrenaline, at a concentration of 10 mumol/l, did not affect 5-HT uptake in lungs perfused with 2 nmol/l 3H-5-HT for 2 min (uptake1 inhibited), but 50 mumol/l 5-HT inhibited noradrenaline uptake by 56% in lungs perfused with 2 nmol/l 3H-noradrenaline for 2 min (5-HT transporter inhibited). These and the above results show that the 5-HT transporter appears to be exclusively responsible for 5-HT uptake in rat lungs, despite the possible interaction of 5-HT at high concentrations with the uptake1 transporter in the cells. On the other hand, noradrenaline is transported exclusively by uptake1 in the lungs, and there is no evidence that it interacts with the 5-HT transporter, even at high concentrations. 相似文献

The role of protein kinase C (PKC) was examined in the regulation of dopamine transport in C6 glioma cells stably expressing the human dopamine transporter. The PKC activating phorbol esters phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and 4 beta-12,13-dibutyrate phorbol-ester (PDBu) inhibited [3H]dopamine uptake concentration dependently. These effects were attenuated by the PKC inhibitor staurosporine but were unaltered by another inhibitor, chelerythrine, or the phosphatase inhibitor okadaic acid. The potency of PMA in inhibiting [3H]dopamine uptake was similar to that in inhibiting the binding of 2 beta-carbomethoxy-3 beta-(4-fluorophenyl)tropane ([3H]WIN 35,428), and again staurosporine, but not chelerythrine, weakened the effect of PMA. The reduction in dopamine transporter activity by PMA was caused by a decrease in the Vmax value of [3H]dopamine uptake, opposed by a smaller reduction in the Km value, whereas the effect of PMA on [3H]WIN 35,428 binding was caused by a reduction in the Bmax value without a change in the Kd value. The lower Km value in the presence of PMA was accompanied by a higher IC50 of dopamine in inhibiting [3H]WIN 35,428 binding; the latter effect was attenuated by the co-presence of staurosporine. The results are discussed in the context of transporter loss from the cell surface, or a model with phosphorylation affecting the shared dopamine and WIN 35,428 binding domain on the transporter as well as affecting a part of the dopamine binding domain lying outside that for WIN 35,428. 相似文献

1. COS-7 cells transfected with the cDNA of the human dopamine transporter (DAT cells) or the human noradrenaline transporter (NAT cells) were loaded with [3H]-dopamine or [3H]-noradrenaline and superfused with buffers of different ionic composition. 2. In DAT cells lowering the Na+ concentration to 0, 5 or 10 mM caused an increase in 3H-efflux. Cocaine (10 microM) or mazindol (0.3 microM) blocked the efflux at low Na+, but not at 0 Na+. Lowering the Cl- concentration to 0, 5 or 10 mM resulted in an increased efflux, which was blocked by cocaine or mazindol. Desipramine (0.1 microM) was without effect in all the conditions tested. 3. In NAT cells, lowering the Na+ concentration to 0, 5 or 10 mM caused an increase in 3H-efflux, which was blocked by cocaine or mazindol. Desipramine produced a partial block, its action being stronger at 5 or 10 mM Na+ than at 0 mM Na+. Efflux induced by 0, 5 or 10 mM Cl- was completely blocked by all three uptake inhibitors. 4. In cross-loading experiments, 5 mM Na(+)- or 0 Cl(-)-induced efflux was much lower from [3H]-noradrenaline-loaded DAT, than NAT cells and was sensitive to mazindol, but not to desipramine. Efflux from [3H]-dopamine-loaded NAT cells elicited by 5 mM Na+ or 0 Cl- was blocked by mazindol, as well as by desipramine. 5. Thus cloned catecholamine transporters display carrier-mediated efflux of amines if challenged by lowering the extracellular Na+ or Cl-, whilst retaining their pharmacological profile. The transporters differ with regard to the ion dependence of the blockade of reverse transport by uptake inhibitors. 相似文献

To examine the effects of hyperglycemia on insulin signaling in A-10 vascular smooth muscle cells, cells were treated with extracellular D-glucose and effects of insulin were studied on the diacylglycerol-protein kinase C signaling system. A-10 cells specifically bound 125I-insulin, and insulin-like growth factor-I did not displace the label. 125I-insulin binding was unaltered under hyperglycemic conditions. To determine if insulin receptors were coupled to other insulin-regulated processes, diacylglycerol, protein kinase C, and glucose transport were evaluated. Insulin increased cellular diacylglycerol (DAG) levels which were also increased following glucose treatment and not further stimulated by insulin. The uptake of 2-[3H]deoxy-D-glucose (2-DOG) was stimulated by insulin and 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol 13-acetate (TPA). Insulin- and TPA-stimulated 2-[3H]DOG uptake was inhibited by a protein kinase inhibitor, staurosporine. Preincubation of cells with 500 nM TPA overnight resulted in the inhibition of insulin- and TPA-stimulated 2-[3H]DOG uptake. Protein kinase C activity was translocated from cytosolic to membrane fractions following insulin treatment. Overnight glucose (25 mM) treatment resulted in a 50% decrease in protein kinase C enzyme activity and > 90% decrease in protein kinase C beta immunoreactive levels. Protein kinase C activity and levels were not affected by osmotic control media containing mannitol. A-10 cells express GLUT4-type glucose transporters. Neither insulin-regulatable glucose transporter (GLUT4) mRNA nor GLUT4 protein levels were diminished by glucose. Significant decreases in insulin- and TPA-stimulated 2-[3H]DOG uptake occurred, however, with glucose. The down-regulation of protein kinase C beta and resultant inhibition of 2-[3H]DOG uptake by chronic glucose suggests a biochemical link between hyperglycemia and DAG-protein kinase C signaling in vascular smooth muscle cells. 相似文献

1. Microdialysis of the frontal cortex of freely-moving rats and uptake of [3H]noradrenaline into cortical synaptosomes were used to evaluate changes in efflux of noradrenaline in vivo and uptake of [3H]noradrenaline in vitro, respectively, induced by the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), fluoxetine and citalopram, and the tricyclic antidepressant, desipramine. 2. Noradrenaline efflux was increased during local infusion into the cortex of each of these drugs. All three agents also inhibited synaptosomal uptake of [3H]noradrenaline; this inhibition was unaffected by a substantial (50%) lesion of central 5-hydroxytrytaminergic neurones induced by intracerebroventricular infusion of 5,7-DHT (150 microg). 3. A noradrenergic lesion (70%), induced by pretreatment with the selective neurotoxin, N-(2-chloroethyl)-N-ethyl-2-bromobenzylamine (DSP-4, 40 mg kg(-1) i.p.), 5 days earlier, abolished the increase in noradrenaline efflux caused by local infusion of fluoxetine. In contrast, the desipramine-induced increase in efflux was greater than in non-lesioned rats whereas the effect of citalopram on noradrenaline efflux was unaffected by DSP-4 pretreatment. 4. The combined results of all these experiments suggest that there could be more than one, functionally distinct, noradrenaline uptake site in rat frontal cortex which can be distinguished by their different sensitivities to desipramine and the SSRIs, fluoxetine and citalopram. 相似文献

The nature of methamphetamine-induced rapid and transient decreases in dopamine transporter activity was investigated. Regional specificity was demonstrated, since [3H]dopamine uptake was decreased in synaptosomes prepared from the striatum, but not nucleus accumbens, of methamphetamine-treated rats. Differences among effects on dopamine transporter activity and ligand binding were also observed, since a single methamphetamine administration decreased [3H]dopamine uptake without altering [3H]WIN35428 ([3H](-)-2-beta-carbomethoxy-3-beta-(4-fluorophenyl)tropane 1,5-naphthalenedisulfonate) binding in synaptosomes prepared 1 h after injection. Moreover, multiple methamphetamine injections caused a greater decrease in [3H]dopamine uptake than [3H]WIN35428 binding in synaptosomes prepared I h after dosing. Finally, decreases in [3H]dopamine uptake, but not [3H]WIN35428 binding, were partially reversed 24 h after multiple methamphetamine injections. Western blotting indicated that saline- and methamphetamine-affected dopamine transporters co-migrated on sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) gels at approximately 80 kDa, and that acute, methamphetamine-induced decreases in [3H]dopamine uptake were not due to loss of dopamine transporter protein. These findings demonstrate heretofore-uncharacterized features of the acute effect of methamphetamine on dopamine transporters. 相似文献

The effects of lymphocytes and their conditioned medium on catecholamine efflux and uptake were examined in cultured bovine adrenal medullary cells. Co-culture of adrenal medullary cells with lymphocytes for 3 days caused an increase in appearance of catecholamines in the culture medium. Treatment of adrenal medullary cells with a conditioned medium prepared from lymphocytes also enhanced the appearance of catecholamines in culture medium in time- (8-48 h) and concentration-dependent manners. Heat treatment of the conditioned medium at 60 and 100 degrees C for 10 min reduced its stimulatory effect to 59 and 20% of control, respectively. After gel filtration on a Sephadex G-25 column or dialysis (<8 kDa molecular mass cutoff), the stimulatory activity of the conditioned medium was found in a high molecular fraction. The conditioned medium had little effect on the activity of lactate dehydrogenase in the medium of cultured adrenal medullary cells and on desipramine-sensitive [3H]norepinephrine uptake by the cells. These findings suggest that lymphocytes release a heat-sensitive factor(s) (molecular mass of more than 8 kDa) which increases efflux of catecholamines from cultured adrenal medullary cells. 相似文献

Treatment of cultured bovine adrenal chromaffin cells with dbcAMP increased [3H]STX binding with an EC50 of 126 microM and a half-effective time of 12 h; dbcAMP (1 mM x 18 h) raised the Bmax approximately 1.5-fold without altering the Kd value. Forskolin (0.1 mM) or IBMX (0.3 mM) also increased [3H]STX binding, while dbcGMP had no effect. Effects of dbcAMP and forskolin were abolished by H-89, an inhibitor of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Cycloheximide (10 microgram/ml) and actinomycin D (10 microgram/ml), inhibitors of protein synthesis, nullified the stimulatory effect of dbcAMP, whereas tunicamycin, an inhibitor of protein glycosylation, had no effect. Treatment with dbcAMP augmented veratridine-induced 22Na influx, 45Ca influx via voltage-dependent Ca channels and catecholamine secretion, while the same treatment did not alter 45Ca influx and catecholamine secretion caused by high K (a direct activation of voltage-dependent Ca channels) [25]. Na influx via single Na channel calculated from 22Na influx and [3H]STX binding was quantitatively similar between non-treated and dbcAMP-treated cells. Brevetoxin allosterically enhanced veratridine-induced 22Na influx approximately 3-fold in dbcAMP-treated cells as in non-treated cells. These results suggest that cAMP-dependent protein kinase is involved in the modulation of Na channel expression in adrenal medulla. 相似文献

Quinine and quinidine are reported to potentiate the behavioural effects of serotonergic agents and monoamine uptake inhibitors. We have therefore investigated the presynaptic actions of quinine and quinidine on monoamine uptake and release in rat brain tissue in vitro. Quinidine evoked the release of [3H]5-HT, [3H]noradrenaline and [3H]dopamine from pre-loaded rat brain slices in a concentration dependent manner with EC50 values of 175, 486 and 150 microM, respectively. Quinine induced [3H]monoamine release with similar potencies. Both quinine and quinidine also inhibited the active uptake of [3H]5-HT, [3H]noradrenaline and [3H]dopamine into rat brain synaptosomes with IC50 values in the range 0.13-12.4 microM. The potency of each drug to inhibit [3H]5-HT uptake was significantly higher than that for [3H]noradrenaline or [3H]dopamine. The relative potency of quinidine compared to quinine was more marked in the case of [3H]5-HT (58-fold) than for [3H]noradrenaline (3-fold) or [3H]dopamine (4-fold). The inhibition of [3H]5-HT uptake by quinine and quinidine was competitive in nature and corresponded with the potencies of these drugs to inhibit [3H]paroxetine binding. No correlation was observed between the potencies of quinine and quinidine to induce the release of [3H]monoamines and to inhibit their uptake, suggesting that these effects are mediated by two distinct mechanisms. We conclude that the presynaptic actions of quinine and quinidine on monoamine uptake and release may be implicated in their potentiation of the effects of serotonergic agents and uptake blockers. 相似文献

The effects of intra- and extra-adrenal peptides on [3H]dopamine uptake in adrenal chromaffin cells of the mouse were examined in vitro. Dopamine uptake was inhibited by acetylcholine, high potassium, reserpine, imipramine and desmethylimipramine as was in noradrenaline uptake. Among the intra-adrenal peptides, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP, 100 pmol/l) and neurotensin inhibited [3H]dopamine uptake by approximately 25%. Somatostatin, enkephalin, and neuropeptide Y did not cause any significant inhibition. An extra-adrenal peptide, bradykinin, inhibited the uptake while angiotensin II showed no significant effect. Intra-adrenal peptides which cause catecholamine secretion inhibit catecholamine uptake probably to extend its effect. Extra-adrenal peptide which causes catecholamine secretion also inhibits catecholamine uptake. 相似文献

The effect of the Aconitum alkaloids aconitine, 3-acetylaconitine, lappaconitine, and N-desacetyllappaconitine to inhibit [3H]noradrenaline uptake was investigated in rat hippocampal synaptosomes. Aconitine and 3-acetylaconitine, which are known to activate sodium channels, had comparable inhibitory potencies and yielded Ki (inhibitor constant) values of 230 +/- 66 nM and 316 +/- 96 nM, respectively. In contrast, lappaconitine and N-desacetyllappaconitine failed to inhibit [3H]noradrenaline uptake. When either lappaconitine or N-desacetyllappaconitine was applied in combination with aconitine, [3H]noradrenaline uptake was not affected. The sodium channel blocker tetrodotoxin enhanced [3H]noradrenaline uptake, whereas uptake was completely blocked in sodium-free incubation medium. The inhibitory action of aconitine and 3-acetylaconitine on [3H]noradrenaline uptake was blocked by addition of tetrodotoxin. Patch clamp studies performed on cultured rat hippocampal neurons revealed an inhibitory action of lappaconitine and N-desacetyllappaconitine on whole cell sodium currents. It is concluded that the blockade of [3H]noradrenaline uptake evoked by aconitine and 3-acetylaconitine is mediated indirectly by an increased sodium concentration in the synaptosomes. 相似文献

A chimeric dopamine transporter (DAT) cDNA encoding mutant human DAT (hDAT) protein in which the intracellular carboxyl-terminal tail is replaced by that of the bovine dopamine transporter (bDAT) was constructed. The chimeric hDAT cDNA was expressed in COS-7 cells, and [3H]dopamine and [3H]MPP+ uptake and [3H]CFT binding capacities were assessed. Substrate transport and ligand binding of bDAT were reduced by 32-43% as a result of substitution of the carboxyl tail in hDAT, suggesting that the functional characteristics of bDAT arise from differences in the carboxyl tail between human and bovine DAT. Thus, it appears that the sequences encoded within the carboxyl terminal of DAT would be one of the important determinants for its functions. 相似文献

In contrast to striatal membranes of adult rats, where high- (KD1 = 34 nM) and low- (KD2 = 48,400 nM) affinity binding sites for [3H]WIN 35,428 are present, in primary cultures of ventral mesencephalon neurons (CVMNs) only low-affinity binding sites were found (KD = 336,000 nM). The binding of [3H]WIN 35,428 in CVMNs prepared from rat embryos was reversible, saturable, and located in cytosol. Although dopamine (DA) uptake blockers inhibited [3H]DA uptake at nanomolar concentrations in CVMNs, the displacement of [3H]WIN 35,428 binding in CVMNs by DA uptake inhibitors required 100-8,000 times higher concentrations than were needed to displace [3H]WIN 35,428 binding in striatal membranes. Piperazine derivatives, e.g., GBR-12909, GBR-12935, and rimcazole, inhibited [3H]WIN 35,428 binding in CVMNs more effectively than did cocaine, WIN 35,428, mazindol, nomifensine, or benztropin. A positive correlation (r = 0.779; p < 0.001) was found between drug affinities for the striatal membrane sites labeled by [3H]WIN 35,428 and their abilities to inhibit DA uptake in CVMNs, whereas no correlation existed between the IC50 values of drugs that inhibited [3H]WIN 35,428 binding and [3H]DA uptake in CVMNs. The cytosolic [3H]WIN 35,428 binding sites may be a piperazine acceptor and may not be involved in the regulation of the DA transporter. 相似文献

1 The effects of mianserin and of selected tricyclic antidepressants were compared in a number of monoamine uptake models. 2 The ability of mianserin to block the noradrenergic neurone membrane amine pump of rabbit brain stem slices was comparable to that of imipramine and amitriptyline and less than that of desipramine and nortriptyline. Both mianserin and desipramine were competitive inhibitors of noradrenaline uptake in vitro. The effect of mianserin on noradrenaline uptake in vivo was studied both peripherally and centrally. The ability of 6-hydroxydopamine to lower rat heart noradrenaline levels was found to be very sensitive to inhibition by tricyclic antidepressants. Mianserin was active in this model. However, its ability to block the 6-hydroxydopamine-induced fall in rat heart noradrenaline concentration was appreciably less than that of the tricyclics studied. 3 Mianserin, like tricyclic antidepressants, was essentially devoid of effect on dopamine uptake both in vitro and in vivo. 4 The ability of mianserin to inhibit [3H]-5-hydroxytryptamine uptake by rat hypothalamic synaptosomes was appreciably less than that of the tricyclic antidepressants studied. Mianserin was essentially devoid of effect on rat brain 5-hydroxytryptamine uptake in vivo. 5 It is concluded that in certain situations large doses of mianserin may block noradrenaline uptake in vivo. However, in no way does mianserin rival tricyclic antidepressants in blocking monoamine uptake in vivo. The clinical efficacy of mianserin cannot be attributed to inhibition of monoamine uptake. 相似文献

Growth factors and oncogenes promote glucose uptake, but the extent to which increased uptake is regulated at the level of glucose transporter function has not been clearly established. In this paper, we show that interleukin-3 (IL-3), a cytokine growth factor, and the transforming oncogenes ras and abl alter the activation state of glucose transporters by distinct mechanisms. Using bone marrow-derived IL-3-dependent 32Dc13 (32D clone 3) cells and 32D cells transformed with ras and abl oncogenes, we demonstrated that IL-3 enhanced [3H]-2-deoxyglucose (2-DOG) uptake in parental 32Dc13 cells by 40-50% at 0.2 mM 2-DOG, and this was associated with a 2.5-fold increase in transporter affinity for glucose (reduced Km). In comparison, ras and abl oncogenes enhanced 2-DOG uptake by 72-112%, associated with a 2-fold greater transporter affinity for glucose. The tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein reversed the effects of both IL-3 and oncogenes on glucose uptake and reduced transporter affinity for glucose. Likewise, with exponentially growing 32D cells in the presence of IL-3, a protein kinase C inhibitor, staurosporine, and a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI-3) kinase inhibitor, wortmannin, inhibited 2-DOG uptake and decreased transporter affinity for glucose. In contrast, in oncogene-transformed cells, staurosporine inhibited 2-DOG uptake but failed to decrease transporter affinity for glucose, whereas wortmannin did not affect 2-DOG uptake. Inhibition of protein tyrosine phosphatases with vanadate enhanced 2-DOG uptake and transporter affinity for glucose in parental cells and in ras-transformed cells but had little effect on abl-transformed cells. Consistently, the serine/threonine phosphatase type 2A inhibitor okadaic acid enhanced 2-DOG uptake and transporter affinity for glucose in parental cells but had little effect on ras- or abl-transformed cells. These results demonstrate differences in the regulation of glucose transport in parental and oncogene-transformed 32D cells. Thus, IL-3 responses are dependent upon tyrosine, serine/threonine, and PI-3 kinases, whereas ras and abl effects on glucose transport depend upon tyrosine phosphorylation but are compromised in their dependence upon serine/threonine and PI-3 kinases. 相似文献

Cyclic GMP is an intracellular signal molecule whose biological and pharmacological role is not well understood. Recent studies with human erythrocytes and other cell types (normal and transformed) have shown that the extrusion of cGMP is an ATP-dependent and saturable process. In this paper, we present our studies on binding of [3H]-cGMP to human erythrocyte ghost and its solubilized extracts. At 4 degrees C, an apparent dissociation constant of 0.15 microM was found in the samples. Maximum specific binding values in ghost and solubilized extracts were 9.0 pmol/mg of protein and 1.0 pmol/mg of protein, respectively. The low dissociation constant was confirmed by kinetic studies with a value of 0.16 microM. Specific [3H]-cGMP binding was inhibited by cAMP, cGMP, and cIMP with KD values of 0.22 microM, 0.09 microM, and 0.17 microM, respectively. Unlabeled cGMP and cIMP inhibited [3H]-cGMP binding completely whereas cAMP inhibited only 70%. The membrane-localized cGMP-binding protein discriminates between cyclic and noncyclic nucleotides, since GMP, IMP, and AMP were unable to displace [3H]-cGMP. A zwitterionic detergent, CHAPS (3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfate), was able to solubilize a protein with identical binding affinity. The results of this study show that erythrocyte ghosts possess a cGMP-binding protein which is not a kinase (due to a similar affinity for cAMP, cGMP, and cIMP) or phosphodiesterase (due to the inability of IBMX, 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, to inhibit specific [3H]-cGMP binding). We hypothesize that this protein is the cell membrane cGMP transporter. 相似文献

The binding parameters of [3H]nociceptin were examined in membrane preparations of rat heart and compared with those of [3H]dynorphin A-(1-13) ([3H]Dyn A-(1-13)). Scatchard analysis of [3H]nociceptin binding revealed the presence of two distinct sites: a high affinity (Kd: 583 nM) low capacity (Bmax: 132 pmol/mg protein) site and a low affinity (Kd: 10,316 nM) high capacity (1552 pmol/mg protein) site. Dyn A and related peptides were potent competitors of the binding to the high affinity site with the following rank order of potency: alpha-neo-endorphin > Dyn A-(2-13) = Dyn A-(3-13) > Dyn A-(5-13) > Dyn A-(1-13) > Dyn A > Dyn B > Dyn A-(6-10) > Dyn A-(1-8). Nociceptin was 6.7 times less potent than Dyn A with a Ki of 4.8 microM as compared with 0.72 microM for Dyn A. The order of potency of the various peptides in inhibiting [3H]nociceptin binding correlated well (r = 0.93) with their ability to complete with the binding of [3H]Dyn A-(1-13) (Dumont and Lemaire, 1993). In addition, the high affinity [3H]nociceptin and non-opioid [3H]Dyn A-(1-13) sites were both sensitive to NaCl (120 mM) and the phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitors, U-73122 and neomycin (100 microM). The binding activities were less affected by the weak PLC inhibitor, U-73343, and no effect was observed with the non-hydrolysable GTP analogs. Gpp(NH)p and GTP-gamma-S. Nociceptin (1-50 microM) was also shown to inhibit the uptake of [3H]noradrenaline ([3H]NA) by cardiac synaptosomal preparations. In spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), the potency of nociceptin in inhibiting [3H]NA uptake was increased by 1.6-fold as compared with Wistar Kyoto (WKY) control rats and such effect was accompanied by comparable increased levels of cardiac ORL1 mRNA and [3H]nociceptin high affinity sites. These changes correlated well with the previously observed increased levels of non-opioid cardiac [3H]Dyn A-(1-13) sites in SHR (1.3 times as compared with WKY) and increased potency of Dyn A-(1-13) in inhibiting [3H]NA uptake by cardiac synaptosomes in SHR (2.2-fold as compared with WKY) (Dumont and Lemaire, 1995). The results demonstrate that in rat heart the characteristics of the high affinity, low capacity [3H]nociceptin binding site are similar to those of the non-opioid Dyn binding site. The stimulation of this site by nociceptin, Dyn A or related peptides is more likely to produce a modulation of PLC activity and [3H]NA uptake and may participate to the pathophysiology of hypertension. 相似文献

Secretory vesicles store neurotransmitters that are released by exocytosis. Their membrane contains transporters responsible for transmitter loading that are driven by an electrochemical proton gradient across the vesicle membrane. We have now examined whether uptake of noradrenaline is regulated by heterotrimeric G proteins. In streptolysin O-permeabilized PC 12 cells, GTP-analogues and AlF4- inhibited noradrenaline uptake, an effect that was sensitive to treatment with pertussis toxin. Inhibition of uptake was prevented by Galphao-specific antibodies and mimicked by purified activated Galphao2. No effect was seen when Galphao2 in its inactive GDP-bound form or purified activated Galphao1, Galphai1 and Galphai2 were tested. Down-regulation of uptake remained unchanged when exocytosis was inhibited by the light chain of tetanus toxin. Vesicular acidification was not affected whereas binding of [3H]reserpine was reduced by GTPgammaS and Galphao2. These data suggest that the monoamine transporter rather than the vacuolar ATPase is affected. We conclude that catecholamine uptake is controlled by Galphao2, suggesting a novel function for heterotrimeric G proteins in the control of neurotransmitter storage. 相似文献
