Abstract

Ventricular myocytes isolated from the hypertrophied hearts of thyrotoxic adult rats have an increase in mean protein content per myocyte (6.3 +/- 0.2 vs. 4.4 +/- 0.2 ng) compared with euthyroid cells. Viability and adenine nucleotide profiles are similar in both populations, but NAD content of the hyperthyroid myocytes is depressed (4.9 +/- 0.2 vs. 5.5 +/- 0.2 nmol/mg for controls) and UTP is higher (1.2 +/- 0.09 vs. 0.9 +/- 0.04 nmol/mg). Binding of (-)-[125I]iodocyanopindolol to intact hyperthyroid myocytes is increased by 42% compared with controls, with no change in the dissociation constant (Kd). This elevation in beta-receptor number is correlated to enhanced beta-agonist-induced adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) production. The half-maximal effective concentration (EC50) for the euthyroid isoproterenol dose-response curve is 2.14 x 10(-7) M but is decreased to 2.51 x 10(-8) M in hyperthyroid cardiac cells. Basal adenylate cyclase activity is apparently not affected by thyroid hormones, since basal cAMP levels for both groups are identical (5 pmol/mg) and both rise roughly twofold in the presence of a phosphodiesterase inhibitor. Forskolin-induced cAMP production and cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase activity are...Continue Reading

Adrenergic Receptors: Trafficking

Adrenergic receptor trafficking is an active physiological process where adrenergic receptors are relocated from one region of the cell to another or from one type of cell to another. Discover the latest research on adrenergic receptor trafficking here.
