The short (5-60 min) and long (24 hrs) term effects of norepinephrine (10 uM) and the phorbol ester, 12-0-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (10 nM), on total cellular and surface-accessible alpha-1 adrenergic receptor number were determined in DDT1 MF-2 smooth muscle cells. The density of alpha-1 adrenergic receptors was determined with [3H]-prazosin in a crude cellular homogenate (total cellular receptors) and in intact cells at 4 degrees C (surface-accessible receptors). Under basal conditions, all receptors were accessible to the cell surface at 4 degrees C. Short term norepinephrine exposure caused an approximately 40% decrease in surface-accessible binding without a change in total receptor number. Long term norepinephrine exposure caused a further decrease in surface-accessible binding, and an approximately 30% decrease in total receptor number. In contrast, phorbol ester had no effect on surface-accessible or total receptor number with either short or long term exposure. These data suggest that sequestration of cell surface alpha-1 adrenergic receptors is an early step in the process of agonist-mediated down-regulation. In DDT1 MF-2 cells, phorbol ester, alone, does not mimmick the effect of agonist on receptor sequestration or number.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D009130 Muscle, Smooth Unstriated and unstriped muscle, one of the muscles of the internal organs, blood vessels, hair follicles, etc. Contractile elements are elongated, usually spindle-shaped cells with centrally located nuclei. Smooth muscle fibers are bound together into sheets or bundles by reticular fibers and frequently elastic nets are also abundant.

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.

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.
