The specific binding site for thromboxane A2 (TXA2) was studied in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) of the rat aorta. [3H]SQ29,548, a potent and selective TXA2 receptor antagonist, displayed high-affinity and specificity, as well as saturable and displaceable binding to rat VSMC in culture. Scatchard analysis of equilibrium binding at 24 degrees C revealed a single class of binding sites with a Kd of 1.7 nM and a Bmax of 8.0 fmol/10(6) cells. A series of TXA2 receptor antagonists completely suppressed [3H]SQ29,548 binding to rat VSMC, and the rank order of their inhibitory potencies (Ki) correlated well with the potencies for suppression of the U46619-induced contraction of rat thoracic aorta. These results suggest that specific binding sites for [3H]SQ29,548 represent the TXA2 receptor in rat VSMC.
