Evidence for functional presynaptic alpha-2 adrenoceptors and their down-regulation in human heart failure.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVES:The aim of this study was to investigate the role of peripheral presynaptic alpha-2 adrenergic receptors in modulating norepinephrine (NE) release in congestive heart failure (CHF). BACKGROUND:Activation of the sympathetic nervous system is a hallmark of CHF. Clonidine, an imidazoline and adrenergic agonist with high selectivity for the alpha-2 adrenoceptor, has been shown to reduce generalized sympathetic activity in heart failure after parenteral administration. If it could be shown that peripheral presynaptic alpha-2 adrenoceptors are inhibitory to NE release, then they could be targeted for future therapy, and as a corollary, potentially circumvent unwanted side effects arising from stimulation of alpha-2 adrenoceptors in the brain. Additionally, it could be concluded that these receptors form the basis for an auto-inhibitory feedback to further NE release. METHODS:Fifteen healthy volunteers and 10 patients with heart failure received intra-arterial clonidine via the brachial artery (0.05 microg and 0.48 microg/100 ml forearm/min). Radio-tracer techniques were employed for studying NE kinetics. RESULTS:Intra-arterial clonidine caused a dose-dependent decrease in forearm spillover of NE in healthy individuals (low dose, high dose: 26%, 49%: p < 0.05, p < 0.001, respectively). In the patient group, no decrease in forearm spillover was demonstrated after local administration. The difference in response between the two groups was statistically significant (p = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS:Peripheral sympathoneural alpha-2 adrenoceptors are functionally important in inhibiting NE release in the healthy human. In heart failure, this function is lost. This finding offers further insights into the mechanisms responsible for high circulating levels of NE in patients with heart failure. In addition, it suggests that selective targeting of peripheral presynaptic alpha-2 adrenoceptors will not achieve sympathoinhibition in heart failure.
