alpha-Adrenergic inhibition of adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate accumulation and parathyroid hormone release from dispersed bovine parathyroid cells. 1978

E M Brown, and S H Hurwitz, and G D Aurbach

The possibility of alpha-adrenergic modulation of cAMP accumulation and parathyroid hormone (PTH) release was investigated in dispersed bovine parathyroid cells. cAMP accumulation due to the mixed alpha- and beta-adrenergic agonists, (-)epinephrine and (-)norepinephrine, was significantly enhanced by the alpha-adrenergic inhibitor phentolamine; that due to the "pure" beta-adrenergic agonist, (-)isoproterenol, was not altered significantly. Direct inhibition of agonist-stimulated cAMP accumulation was effected by adding increasing concentrations of (-)epinephrine to concentrations of (-)isoproterenol maximally stimulating cAMP accumulation. A 50-75% inhibition of cAMP was observed which was specifically blocked by phentolamine. This inhibition was not specific for beta-adrenergic stimulation, as (-)epinephrine also inhibited dopamine-stimulated cAMP accumulation. The inhibition of (-)isoproterenol-stimulated cAMP accumulation by (-)epinephrine was unaffected by ambient calcium concentration. Stimulation of PTH release by (-)epinephrine and (-)norepinephrine was potentiated by phentolamine and inhibited by the beta-adrenergic blocker, (-)propranolol, demonstrating alpha-adrenergic modulation of hormone release and confirming the close relationship between cAMP accumulation and PTH release previously shown in this system. These results demonstrate the presence of an alpha-adrenergic receptor in dispersed bovine parathyroid cells which inhibits agonist-stimulated cAMP accumulation and PTH release by a mechanism independent of extracellular calcium.

D009638 Norepinephrine Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.

D010280 Parathyroid Glands Two pairs of small oval-shaped glands located in the front and the base of the NECK and adjacent to the two lobes of THYROID GLAND. They secrete PARATHYROID HORMONE that regulates the balance of CALCIUM; PHOSPHORUS; and MAGNESIUM in the body. Gland, Parathyroid,Glands, Parathyroid,Parathyroid Gland
D010281 Parathyroid Hormone A polypeptide hormone (84 amino acid residues) secreted by the PARATHYROID GLANDS which performs the essential role of maintaining intracellular CALCIUM levels in the body. Parathyroid hormone increases intracellular calcium by promoting the release of CALCIUM from BONE, increases the intestinal absorption of calcium, increases the renal tubular reabsorption of calcium, and increases the renal excretion of phosphates.

D010646 Phentolamine A nonselective alpha-adrenergic antagonist. It is used in the treatment of hypertension and hypertensive emergencies, pheochromocytoma, vasospasm of RAYNAUD DISEASE and frostbite, clonidine withdrawal syndrome, impotence, and peripheral vascular disease.

Propranolol has been used for MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION; ARRHYTHMIA; ANGINA PECTORIS; HYPERTENSION; HYPERTHYROIDISM; MIGRAINE; PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA; and ANXIETY but adverse effects instigate replacement by newer drugs.

D011941 Receptors, Adrenergic Cell-surface proteins that bind epinephrine and/or norepinephrine with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes. The two major classes of adrenergic receptors, alpha and beta, were originally discriminated based on their cellular actions but now are distinguished by their relative affinity for characteristic synthetic ligands. Adrenergic receptors may also be classified according to the subtypes of G-proteins with which they bind; this scheme does not respect the alpha-beta distinction.

D011942 Receptors, Adrenergic, alpha One of the two major pharmacological subdivisions of adrenergic receptors that were originally defined by the relative potencies of various adrenergic compounds. The alpha receptors were initially described as excitatory receptors that post-junctionally stimulate SMOOTH MUSCLE contraction. However, further analysis has revealed a more complex picture involving several alpha receptor subtypes and their involvement in feedback regulation.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
