چکیده

Discontinuous density sucrose gradient centrifugation was used to isolate membrane vesicles from the left ventricle of three normal subjects (one prospective organ donor and two traffic victims whose hearts were obtained 1 hour after death) and nine patients undergoing cardiac transplantation as a consequence of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. Sarcolemma-enriched subcellular fractions, detected in the interface between 8.55% and 25% sucrose, were identified by the increased activity of Na,K-ATPase and by enrichment in £-adrenergic receptor density. The density of /3-adrenergic receptors was lower in vesicles from diseased hearts (610±71 fmol/mg protein) than in vesicles from normal hearts (l,410±226 fmol/mg protein; p<0.01). a,-Adrenergic receptors were identified in these membrane vesicles by [H]prazosin binding. Specific binding of [H]prazosin was about 50% of the total binding at 1 nM, and a,-adrenergic binding sites were saturable at approximately 3 nM. Scatchard analysis revealed 58±5 fmol/mg protein (tfD=0.90±0.08 nM) in pathological hearts and 30±5 fmol/mg protein (A^D=0.90±0.03 nM) in normal hearts (p<0.01). The displacement curve of (-)-norepinephrine in membrane vesicles from normal hearts delineated one subpopulation of a,-adrenergic receptors; the addition of 0.1 mM GTP did not cause right shift. In membrane vesicles from diseased heart, the displacement curve of (-)-norepinephrine disclosed two subpopulations of a,-adrenergic receptors. A right shift that occurred after addition of GTP showed that in this case a,-adrenergic receptors were functionally coupled with GTP-binding protein. This study demonstrated the presence of a,-adrenergic receptors hi sarcolemma-enriched subcellular fractions from both normal and idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathic hearts. Only a,-adrenergic receptors from pathological hearts were coupled to GTP-binding protein. (Circulation Research 1989;64:474-481)

The value of myocardial perfusion imaging in differentiating between idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy from the ischemic form [Persian]

Introduction: Differentiating between ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) and idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDCM) is important as coronary revascularization can improve prognosis in the ischemic subgroup. Due to inherent problems of coronary angiography in patients with depressed ejection fraction (EF) introducing a noninvasive tool to diagnose those who will benefit from angiography seems...

Heterogeneous Transmural Distribution of -Adrenergic Receptor Subtpes in Failing Human Hearts

Background. Downregulation of myocardial 3-adrenergic receptor density does not occur in a spatially uniform distribution in patients with congestive heart failure. Rather, it results primarily from loss of receptors in the subendocardium. In patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, &-receptors have been found to be downregulated selectively. These observations suggest that considerable transmural...

Mapping of a functional autoimmune epitope on the beta 1-adrenergic receptor in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy.

The presence and properties of serum autoantibodies against beta-adrenergic receptors in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy were studied using synthetic peptides derived from the predicted sequences of the human beta-adrenergic receptors. Peptides corresponding to the sequences of the second extracellular loop of the human beta 1- and beta 2-adrenergic receptors were used as antige...

Positron emission tomography with 11C CGP-12177 to assess beta-adrenergic receptor concentration in idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy.

BACKGROUND Positron emission tomography (PET) with 11C-labeled CGP-12177 (CGP) has been shown to have the potential to noninvasively measure beta-adrenergic receptor concentration in dog heart. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the clinical value of this technique. METHODS AND RESULTS Eight normal subjects and 10 patients with heart failure related to an idiopathic cardiomyopathy w...
