β-Adrenergic Receptor Function in Cultured AT-1 Cardiomyocytes

AT-1 cells are highly differentiated, contracting cardiomyocytes derived from atrial tumours in transgenic mice. The aim of this study was to characterize β-adrenergic receptor function and associated intracellular calcium regulation in AT-1 cells. Equilibrium binding experiments with [ 3H]-CGP-1217...

Zusammenfassung:AT-1 cells are highly differentiated, contracting cardiomyocytes derived from atrial tumours in transgenic mice. The aim of this study was to characterize β-adrenergic receptor function and associated intracellular calcium regulation in AT-1 cells. Equilibrium binding experiments with [ 3H]-CGP-12177 showed a K d=0.30±0.08nM and a B max=2.25±0.47 fmol/10 5cells. Competition binding experiments with CGP-20712A showed presence of predominantly β 1-adrenoreceptors. S-(−)propranolol, atenolol and R-(+)propranolol showed a competitive inhibition of binding with successively lower affinity. Isoproterenol, 2 μM, for 48 hours down-regulated the number (p
