-Adrenoceptor Subtypes by Smooth Muscle Cells
and Adventitial Fibroblasts in Rat Aorta and in Cell Culture
Department of Cell and Molecular Physiology, School of Medicine,
University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, North Carolina
Previous radioligand binding reports of vascular
-adrenoceptor (AR)
density have been limited to total
1- or
2-ARs. Studies using whole blood vessel homogenates have
not differentiated among receptor or mRNA expression by medial smooth
muscle cells (SMCs) versus adventitial fibroblasts (AFBs). Therefore,
we used quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction
and radioligand binding to measure
-AR subtypes in media,
adventitia, and cultured SMCs and AFBs from rat aorta. Both media and
adventitia expressed
1A-,
1B-,
1D-, and
2D-AR mRNAs, but in markedly
different abundances. Total
1-AR density was the same
for media and adventitia (Bmax = 101 ± 10 versus 96 ± 16 fmol/mg of protein). However, densities for
1A-,
1B-, and
1D-AR subtypes in media were 19 ± 2, 26 ± 4, and 55 ± 2%, and in adventitia were 44 ± 3, 37 ± 5, and 19 ± 2%. No
2B- or
2C-AR
transcripts were detected in either layer or in cultured SMCs or AFBs.
Total
1-AR densities in cultured SMCs and AFBs
(Bmax = 111 ± 4 and 48 ± 6 fmol/mg of protein, respectively) were similar to media and adventitia,
with
1B- and
1D-AR transcript levels and
receptors largely sustained. However,
1A- and
2D-AR expression in cultured SMCs and AFBs was strongly
reduced, compared with media and adventitia, an effect not prevented by
30 different culture conditions. Like SMCs, exposure of AFBs to
norepinephrine induced protein synthesis and proliferation of AFBs.
This is the first study to quantitate
-AR subtype expression in
media and adventitia and in cultured SMCs and AFBs. In addition, we
report the intriguing finding that AFBs express
1-ARs in
similar abundance as medial SMCs and that norepinephrine induced them to proliferate.
