Coupling efficiencies of human alpha 1-adrenergic receptor subtypes: titration of receptor density and responsiveness with inducible and repressible expression vectors

TL Theroux, TA Esbenshade, RD Peavy and KP Minneman

Department of Pharmacology, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, Georgia 30322, USA.

We compared the efficiencies with which human alpha 1-adrenergic receptor (AR) subtypes activate inositol phosphate (InsP) formation and increase intracellular Ca2+ in transfected cell lines. Expression of human alpha 1a-, alpha 1b-, and alpha 1d-AR cDNAs under the repressible control of anhydrotetracycline in human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells, which normally express no alpha 1-ARs, was used to compare responses to norepinephrine (NE) at different receptor densities. Maximal NE-stimulated InsP formation was found to increase with increasing density of each subtype, whereas basal levels and responses to sodium fluoride did not change. A comparison of multiple subclones over equivalent ranges of receptor expression showed that activation of each subtype resulted in different maximal responses (alpha 1a > alpha 1b > alpha 1d) in HEK 293 cells. Analogous studies were carried out in human SK-N-MC cells, which normally express low levels of all three alpha 1-AR subtypes, using an isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactoside- inducible expression system. Induction with isopropyl-beta-D- thiogalactoside increased the density of individual alpha 1-AR subtypes by 4-6-fold over the level of endogenous expression. Increased expression of each of these subtypes in SK-N-MC cells did not alter the EC50 value for NE in stimulating InsP formation or releasing [Ca2+]i but did increase maximal responses to NE. Similar to our findings in HEK 293 cells, a comparison of responses at similar expression levels in SK-N-MC cells showed different maximal responses stimulated by each subtype, for both InsP (alpha 1a > alpha 1b > or = alpha 1d) and [Ca2+]i (alpha 1a > alpha 1b > alpha 1d) responses. These studies show that agonist-occupied human alpha 1-AR subtypes have different efficiencies in activating phospholipase C in human cell lines. In both HEK 293 and SK-N-MC cells, alpha 1a-ARs couple most efficiently, whereas alpha 1d-ARs couple very poorly.
