alpha 1B- and alpha 1D-Adrenergic Receptors Exhibit Different Requirements for Agonist and Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Activation to Regulate Growth Responses in Rat 1 Fibroblasts

We compared DNA replication, protein biosynthesis, and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activity in Rat 1 fibroblasts stably expressing either the alpha 1B-adrenergic receptor (AR) or alpha 1D-AR subtypes. Activation of both the alpha 1B-AR and alpha 1D-AR inhibited DNA synthesis (as assessed by [3H]thymidine incorporation). In contrast, both receptors stimulated protein biosynthesis (as measured by [35S]methionine incorporation) and activated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2. Importantly, these responses were agonist-dependent for the alpha 1B-AR, but were agonist-independent for the alpha 1D-AR. Agonist activation of the alpha 1B-AR resulted in increased p38 kinase activity, but not c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) activity, whereas the alpha 1D-AR activated JNK but not p38 kinase. Unlike ERK1/2, JNK activity was increased by agonist treatment in the alpha 1D-AR cells. An ERK1/2-pathway inhibitor PD98059 had no effect on phenylephrine-mediated inhibition of DNA synthesis in either cell line but blocked protein biosynthesis mediated by both receptors. The p38 kinase inhibitor SB203580 blocked alpha 1B-AR effects on [3H]thymidine and [35S]methionine incorporation in alpha 1B-AR-expressing cells, but had no effect on alpha 1D-AR-mediated growth responses, consistent with the inability of the alpha 1D-AR to activate p38 kinase. Therefore, alpha 1B- and alpha 1D-ARs mediated similar growth responses but differ with respect to the MAPK family member involved and the requirement for agonist.
