Abstract
We investigated the regulation of beta(2)-adrenergic receptors (beta(2)AR) by protein kinase C (PKC) in rat C6 glioma cells at the levels of receptor activity, protein expression and gene expression. Cells exposed to 4beta-phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA), a potent activator of PKC, exhibited a time- and concentration-dependent decrease in beta(2)AR binding activity. Maximum down-regulation was approximately 50% by 24 h and western blot analysis revealed a parallel decrease in beta(2)AR protein. In addition, PMA treatment resulted in an acute desensitization of beta(2)AR-stimulated cyclic AMP response prior to any reduction in receptor levels. PMA exposure also affected steady-state beta(2)AR mRNA levels in a time-dependent, biphasic manner. During the first 4 h, levels decreased by approximately 60% and then slowly recovered to approximately 75% of control by 24 h. As the reduction in receptor mRNA was not due to a decrease in its stability, we examined beta(2)AR gene transcription by nuclear run-on assays. Transcriptional activity in nuclei from C6 cells treated with PMA for 2 h was reduced by 70% compared to controls. Thus PKC can regulate beta(2)AR at least two levels: the first being an acute desensitization of recept...Continue Reading
