Pharmacological properties of the cloned alpha 1A/D-adrenoceptor subtype are consistent with the alpha 1A-adrenoceptor characterized in rat cerebral cortex and vas deferens.

Abstract:

:1. The pharmacological characteristics of cloned mammalian alpha 1A/D-, alpha 1B- and alpha 1C-adrenoceptor subtypes expressed in rat 1 fibroblasts were determined in comparison to the binding and functional properties of these subtypes in rat tissues. 2. Analysis of [3H]-prazosin binding to membrane homogenates from rat 1 fibroblast cells expressing each of the alpha 1-subtypes indicated high affinity binding to a single population of binding sites. Binding affinities were similar for alpha 1A/D-, alpha 1B- and alpha 1C-subtypes (Kds: 0.13, 0.10 and 0.15 nM respectively) although a higher density of alpha 1B- and alpha 1C-receptors (Bmax: 4068 and 10,323 fmol mg-1 protein respectively) were expressed in comparison to alpha 1A/D (838 fmol mg-1). 3. Displacement of [3H]-prazosin from membranes expressing cloned alpha 1-adrenoceptor subtypes revealed that 5-methyl-urapidil, WB 4101, benoxathian and phentolamine displayed high affinity and selectivity for alpha 1A/D- over alpha 1B-subtypes. These compounds also had high affinity and selectivity for alpha 1C- over alpha 1B-subtypes. 5-Methyl-urapidil showed selectivity for alpha 1C (Ki 0.60 +/- 0.16 nM) over both alpha 1A/D (Ki, 9.8 +/- 2.8 nM) and alpha 1B (Ki 57.2 +/- 12 nM) subtypes. Prazosin and doxazosin were not subtype selective. 4. In comparison to [3H]-prazosin a similar pharmacological profile was obtained with [125I]-HEAT using cloned alpha 1A/D-, alpha 1B- and alpha 1C-adrenoceptors expressed in rat 1 fibroblasts. 5. The affinities of prazosin, WB 4101, 5-methyl-urapidil, phentolamine and benoxathian at cloned alpha 1A/D-receptors were consistent with alpha 1A affinities determined with chlorethylclonidine-treated rat cortical membranes. Affinities at cloned XIB-receptors were consistent with alpha 1B affinities determined with rat liver membranes.6. Using the epididymal rat vas deferens as a functional measure of alpha 1A affinity, prazosin (pA29.23 +/- 0.28), WB 4101 (pA2 9.58 +/- 0.12), phentolamine (pKB 7.90 +/- 0.16), benoxathian (pKB 9.21 +/- 0.21)and 5-methyl-urapadil (pKB 8.51 +/-0.16) were potent antagonists of noradrenaline-induced contractions.7. At present, evidence from cloning studies suggests the existence of at least three alpha 1-adrenoceptor subtypes. In contrast to the recent proposal for alpha l-adrenoceptor classification, the pharmacology of the cloned alpha 1A/D (or alpha lD)-adrenoceptor is more consistent with that of an alpha 1A-adrenoceptor characterized in rat cerebral cortex and vas deferens.
