Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells expressing recombinant human m1 (CHO-m1 cells), m2 (CHO-m2 cells), or m3 (CHO-m3 cells) muscarinic receptors were characterised pharmacologically with [3H]N-methylscopolamine. Agonist-stimulated coupling of these receptors with guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) was measured by guanine nucleotide- and pertussis toxin-modification of carbachol competition-binding curves, and pertussis toxin-sensitivity of agonist-stimulated [35S]guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) ([35S]GTP gamma S) binding, in membrane preparations of the CHO cell clones. High affinity agonist binding and agonist-stimulated [35S]GTP gamma S binding was abolished in CHO-m2 cell membranes (expressing 99 +/- 25 fmol of [3H]N-methylscopolamine binding sites/mg protein) after pertussis toxin pretreatment of cells, suggesting that muscarinic m2 receptors expressed in these cell membranes couple predominantly with pertussis toxin-sensitive G proteins. CHO-m1 (713 +/- 102 fmol/mg protein) and CHO-m3 (1212 +/- 279 fmol/mg protein) cell membranes produced smaller elevations in agonist-stimulated [35S]GTP gamma S binding considering the higher receptor levels, compared with CHO-m2 cell membranes. Pertussis toxin pretreatment of these clones also resulted in a significant attenuation of agonist-stimulated [35S]GTP gamma S binding suggesting that, under these experimental conditions, muscarinic m1 and m3 receptors can couple with both pertussis toxin-sensitive and pertussis toxin-insensitive G proteins. Guanine nucleotide-modification of agonist binding in CHO-m1 and CHO-m3 cell membranes was comparatively smaller than in CHO-m2 cell membranes.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010053 Ovary The reproductive organ (GONADS) in female animals. In vertebrates, the ovary contains two functional parts: the OVARIAN FOLLICLE for the production of female germ cells (OOGENESIS); and the endocrine cells (GRANULOSA CELLS; THECA CELLS; and LUTEAL CELLS) for the production of ESTROGENS and PROGESTERONE. Ovaries
D011976 Receptors, Muscarinic One of the two major classes of cholinergic receptors. Muscarinic receptors were originally defined by their preference for MUSCARINE over NICOTINE. There are several subtypes (usually M1, M2, M3....) that are characterized by their cellular actions, pharmacology, and molecular biology.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement.

D012601 Scopolamine An alkaloid from SOLANACEAE, especially DATURA and SCOPOLIA. Scopolamine and its quaternary derivatives act as antimuscarinics like ATROPINE, but may have more central nervous system effects. Its many uses include an anesthetic premedication, the treatment of URINARY INCONTINENCE and MOTION SICKNESS, an antispasmodic, and a mydriatic and cycloplegic.
