Selective Inhibition of a1B-Adrenergic Receptor Expression and Function Using a Phosphorothioate Antisense Oligodeoxynucleotide
To investigate a1B-adrenoceptor function, we developed a phosphorothioate antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (AO) to inhibit the expression of the a1B-adrenoceptor subtype in DDT1 MF2 cells. We measured the cellular uptake of the AO and its effect on a1B-adrenoceptor mRNA expression, protein density, and coupling to phospholipase C. Cells treated with either a control oligodeoxynucleotide (CO) or m...
متن کاملa1-Adrenergic Receptor Subtypes in Human Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes
We investigated the expression of a1-adrenergic receptor subtypes in intact human peripheral blood lymphocytes using reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and radioligand binding assay techniques combined with antibodies against the three subtypes of a1-adrenergic receptors (a1A, a1B, and a1D). RT-PCR amplified in peripheral blood lymphocytes a 348-bp a1A-adrenergic receptor ...
متن کاملStimulation of P 2 u Purinergic or a 1 A Adrenergic Receptors Mobilizes Ca 2 + in Lens Cells
Purpose. To identify agonists that elevate cytosolic Ca (Cap) in lens cells and to characterize their mechanism of action. Methods. Digital imaging and the Ca-reporting dye fura-2 were used to study the effects of agonists and their antagonists on Caf in sheep lens primary cell cultures. Results. Exposing cells to adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and epinephrine increased Caf, whereas dopamine, 5-h...
متن کاملThe a 1 B - adrenergic receptor decreases the inotropic response in the mouse Langendorff heart model Sean
Objective: a1-Adrenergic receptors (ARs) are known mediators of a positive inotropy in the heart, which may play even more important roles in heart disease. Due to a lack of sufficiently selective ligands, the contribution of each of the three a1-AR subtypes (a1A, a1B and a1D) to cardiac function is not clearly defined. In this study, we used a systemically expressing mouse model that overexpre...
متن کاملPresence of prejunctional D2-dopaminoceptors and α2-adrenoceptors on the cholinergic nerve of the common bile duct of guinea pig
On most adrenergic and cholinergic nerve terminals, prejunctional α-adrenoceptors belonging to the α2-subtype have been identified. Activation of these receptors will decrease the release of norepinephrine. It has been reported that several isolated tissue preparations contain prejunctional dopamine receptors, the stimulation of which inhibits neurotransmission. It has remained uncertain whethe...
