Autoradiographic localization of beta-adrenergic receptors in rat oviduct.

Abstract:

:Catecholamines are known to have an inhibitory effect on oviductal smooth musculature by changing the adrenergic receptors activity. In order to further investigate the role of epinephrine and/or norepinephrine in oviduct, the distribution of beta-adrenergic receptors has been studied in the rat oviduct, using in vitro autoradiography and [125I]cyanopindolol (CYP), as radioligand. The specificity of the labelling and the characterization of receptor subtypes in different cell types was achieved by displacement of radioligand with increasing concentrations of zinterol, a beta-adrenergic agonist with preferential affinity for the beta 2-adrenoreceptor subtype and practolol, a beta-adrenergic antagonist that binds preferentially to beta 1-subtype. Quantitative estimation of ligand binding was achieved by densitometry. It was shown that the vast majority of beta-receptors were of the beta 2-subtype and were found in smooth muscle layers as well as in the epithelium. The latter localization suggests a role for epinephrine and/or norepinephrine on the oviductal epithelium.
