Selective inhibition of α<inf>1A</inf>-adrenergic receptor signaling by RGS2 association with the receptor third intracellular loop
2005, Journal of Biological ChemistryCitation Excerpt :RGS2 Co-localizes at the Plasma Membrane with α1A-ARs in HEK293 Cells—To determine whether RGS2 associates with α1A-ARs in a cellular context, we co-transfected GFP-tagged RGS proteins with HA-tagged α1-ARs into HEK293 cells, and we examined their cellular localization by using confocal microscopy. However, to ensure that these effects are not a result of receptor and/or RGS overexpression, we performed radioligand binding experiments using 125I-BE2254 on cells transiently expressing HA-α1A-AR and HA-α1B-ARs, and we found that both constructs express between 100 and 300 fmol/mg protein (data not shown), which is well within the physiological range for expression of these receptors in native systems (27). In addition, we found that when titrating the concentration of GFP-tagged RGS constructs to be used in transfection from 0.5 to 6 μg of cDNA per 30-mm plate, 3 μg of construct resulted in ∼60% transfection efficiency with the majority of the cells exhibiting low to moderate fluorescence (data not shown).
α <inf>2B</inf>-Adrenoceptor levels govern agonist and inverse agonist responses in PC12 cells
2003, Biochemical and Biophysical Research CommunicationsCitation Excerpt :Despite a 70-fold increase in the density of α1B-AR in CHO cells, NE-induced Ca2+ responses showed similar EC50 values while the maximal response was increased about 6-fold [12]. Increasing α1B-AR expression in DDT1 cells caused a linear increase in the maximal response to NE-stimulated inositol phosphate formation, but the EC50 values remained essentially constant [11]. Our previous work showed that the potency of NE did not change when stimulatory adenylyl cyclase activity was studied in CHO cells with varying densities of α2B-AR expression.
Biochemical and pharmacological control of the multiplicity of coupling at G-protein-coupled receptors
2003, Pharmacology and TherapeuticsCitation Excerpt :However, this approach has been criticised, as it is demonstrated that the signal complexity depends from the cell line used, which may differ in the expression level of signalling partners (G-proteins, effectors, etc.) (Schneider et al., 1994). Indeed, altering the stoichiometry of receptor, G-proteins, and intracellular effectors directly affects the efficacy and potency of agonists at eliciting cellular responses (Alberts et al., 2000; Burt et al., 1998; Eason & Liggett, 1995; Esbenshade et al., 1995; Grunewald et al., 1996; Kukkonen et al., 2001; Ostrom et al., 2000; Selkirk et al., 2001; Shreeve et al., 2000; Theroux et al., 1996; Zaworski et al., 1999). However, it is likely that similar variations in the relative expression of the partners of the signalling cascade occur in tissues, and this adds further complexity to the cellular responses to a same receptor that depends on the tissue/organ where it is examined.
