Morphology of astroglial cells is controlled by beta-adrenergic receptors
Astroglial cells in vivo and in vitro respond to hormones, growth factors, and neurotransmitters by changing from an epithelial-like to stellate morphology. We have studied the temporal relationship between receptor activation, second messenger mobilization, and morphological changes using LRM55 astroglial cells. Maintenance of an altered morphology required continuous beta-adrenergic receptor ...
متن کاملBeta-Adrenergic Receptors
ion fluxes in these cells, we have now examined the possibility that the decrease in beta receptor number might be associated with concomitant changes in catecholamine-dependent potassium ion transport. Hypothyroid turkey erythrocytes display decreased sensitivity to isoproterenol-stimulated potassium influx. Half-maximal stimulation of potassium influx occurs at 9.2±+1.7 nM in hypothyroid cell...
متن کاملCell Surface Expression of 1 D - Adrenergic Receptors Is Controlled by Heterodimerization with 1 B - Adrenergic Receptors
1-Adrenergic receptors (ARs) belong to the large Class I G protein-coupled receptor superfamily and comprise three subtypes ( 1A, 1B, and 1D). Previous work with heterologously expressed C-terminal green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged 1-ARs showed that 1Aand 1B-ARs localize to the plasma membrane, whereas 1D-ARs accumulate intracellularly. We recently showed that 1Dand 1B-ARs form heterodimer...
متن کاملIn Vitro Desensitization of Beta Adrenergic Receptors
catecholamine-induced desensitization of adenylate cyclase in human neutrophils have been investigated as has the ability of hydrocortisone to modify such alterations. Incubation of human neutrophils with isoproterenol for 3 h in vitro resulted in an 86% reduction in the ability of isoproterenol to stimulate cyclic AMP accumulation in the cells. Two types of receptor alterations were documented...
متن کاملCardiac salvage by tweaking with beta-3-adrenergic receptors.
Overstimulation of the orthosympathetic system leads to cardiovascular cell and tissue damage through prolonged activation of β-1-2 adrenergic receptors (BARs). The more recent identification of the third isotype of BAR (B3AR) in cardiac myocytes and endothelial cells with a distinctive coupling and effect on cardiac function and remodelling introduced a new facet to this paradigm. In particula...
