In Vitro Desensitization of Beta Adrenergic Receptors
catecholamine-induced desensitization of adenylate cyclase in human neutrophils have been investigated as has the ability of hydrocortisone to modify such alterations. Incubation of human neutrophils with isoproterenol for 3 h in vitro resulted in an 86% reduction in the ability of isoproterenol to stimulate cyclic AMP accumulation in the cells. Two types of receptor alterations were documented...
متن کاملA3 adenosine receptors in human astrocytoma cells: agonist-mediated desensitization, internalization, and down-regulation.
A(3) adenosine receptor activation has been previously demonstrated to result in both neuroprotective and neurodegenerative effects, depending upon specific pathophysiological conditions. This dual effect may depend on receptor regulation mechanisms that are able to change receptor availability and/or function. In the present study, we investigated desensitization, internalization, and down-reg...
متن کاملAgonist-Directed Desensitization of the β2-Adrenergic Receptor
The β(2)-adrenergic receptor (β(2)AR) agonists with reduced tachyphylaxis may offer new therapeutic agents with improved tolerance profile. However, receptor desensitization assays are often inferred at the single signaling molecule level, thus ligand-directed desensitization is poorly understood. Here we report a label-free biosensor whole cell assay with microfluidics to determine ligand-dire...
متن کاملAgonist-induced modulation of inverse agonist efficacy at the beta 2-adrenergic receptor.
Sustained stimulation of several G protein-coupled receptors is known to lead to a reduction in the signaling efficacy. This phenomenon, named agonist-induced desensitization, has been best studied for the beta 2-adrenergic receptor (AR) and is characterized by a decreased efficacy of beta-adrenergic agonists to stimulate the adenylyl cyclase activity. Recently, several beta-adrenergic ligands ...
متن کاملMechanisms for myocardial beta-adrenergic receptor desensitization in heart failure.
C ongestive heart failure is associated with pronounced alterations in adrenergic nervous system function. Levels of myocardial norepinephrine are decreased, as first reported in 1963,1 a phenomenon later found to be associated with increased sympathetic nervous system activation and high levels of circulating plasma catecholamines2 in combination with abnormalities in neural reuptake of norepi...
