Abstract

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system and exerts its actions via both ionotropic (GABA(A)) and metabotropic (GABA(B)) receptors. The GABA(B) receptor is a dimer composed of R1 and R2 components and classically couples to the heterotrimeric G(i) protein. In addition to their location on neurons, GABA and functional GABA(B) receptors have been detected in peripheral tissue such as airway smooth muscle. We questioned whether airway epithelium expresses receptors that could respond to GABA. We detected the mRNA encoding multiple-splice variants of the GABA(B)R1 and GABA(B)R2 in total RNA isolated from native human and guinea pig airway epithelium and human airway epithelial cell lines (BEAS-2B and H441). Immunoblots identified the GABA(B)R1 and GABA(B)R2 proteins in both guinea pig airway epithelium and BEAS-2B cells. The expression of GABA(B)R1 protein was immunohistochemically localized to basal mucin-secreting and ciliated columnar epithelial cells in guinea pig trachea. Baclofen inhibited adenylyl cyclase activity, induced ERK phosphorylation and cross-regulated phospholipase C, leading to increased inositol phosphates in BEAS-2B cells in a pertussis toxi...Continue Reading
