Identification of beta-adrenergic receptors on cultured human fibroblast IMR-90 cells
Fibroblast cultures derived from normal human tissue undergo a finite number of population doublings when serial subcultivated in vitro. IMR-90 cells derived from human embryonic lung tissue undergo approximately 60 population doublings. Beta-adrenergic receptor (BAR) characteristics and isoproterenol-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity were assessed in IMR-90 cells at various population doublings (PDL). Scatchard analysis of /sup 125/I-Iodocyanopindolol (ICYP) binding yields a straight line consistent with a single class of antagonist binding sites with 452 +/- 35 sites/cell and a dissociation constant of 18.7 +/- 1.3 pM. There were no changes in BAR density between PDL 32 to PDL 46. Binding was both stereospecific and specific. Competition with epinephrine was 7.4 times more potent than with norepinephrine, suggesting predominate beta/sub 2/-type BAR. Competition with isoproterenol (Hill plots) indicated an apparent K/sub d/ of 1.3 +/- 0.1 x 10/sup -8/ M. Competition curves were resolved into high and low affinity binding sites yielding K/sub d/-high = 3.6 +/- 1.3 nM and k/sub d/-low = 1.6 +/- 0.7 x 10/sup -7/ M with 49.9 +/- 6.6% of the receptors in the high affinity state at PDL 31 to PDL 37. Cultures demonstrate isoproterenol-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity with a concentration of 1 x 10/sup -6/ M producing half-maximal stimulation and a maximum stimulation of 2 pmol cAMP/mg/min. Forskolin-stimulated was 10 pmol/cAMP/mg/min at PDL 46.
