Specific high-affinity binding sites for endothelin-1 (ET-1) have been demonstrated in peripheral tissues using the technique of in vitro receptor autoradiography. Binding was time dependent and saturable and inhibited by coincubation with an excess of unlabeled ET-1 but resistant to dissociation. Binding sites were localized to blood vessels of all sizes including coronary arteries, intrapulmonary vessels, and intrarenal and intrasplenic arteries. In addition, high-affinity binding sites were identified on airway smooth muscle, over alveolar septa, and on nerve trunks. Scatchard analysis of the data revealed a Bmax of 250 amol/mm2 and a Kd of 0.1 nM for the binding of rat tracheal smooth muscle, with similar values for porcine coronary artery. The localization of binding sites is consistent with the known effects of ET-1 and suggests a direct action on specific receptors.
