Abstract

Catecholamine-induced and beta-adrenergic receptor (beta-AR)-mediated thermogenesis in skeletal muscle is a significant component of whole-body energy expenditure. Skeletal muscle expresses uncoupling protein (UCP) 2 and UCP3, which can dissipate the transmitochondrial electrochemical gradient and thereby may be involved in regulation of energy metabolism. We investigated the effects of beta-AR stimulation on UCP2 and UCP3 expression in L6 myotubes. Stimulation of the cells with epinephrine increased the UCP3 mRNA level transiently at 6 h, and also the UCP2 mRNA level at 6-24 h. The stimulatory effects of epinephrine were also observed in the presence of carbacyclin and 9-cis retinoic acid, and mimicked by isoproterenol and salbutamol (beta2-AR agonists), but abolished by propranolol and ICI-118,551 (beta2-AR antagonists). Pharmacological and mRNA analyses revealed the existence of beta2-AR, but not beta1- and beta3-ARs, in L6 myotubes. These results suggested that catecholamines up-regulate UCP2 and UCP3 expression through direct action on the beta2-AR in skeletal muscle.

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.
