Selectivity of digitalis glycosides for isoforms of human Na,K-ATPase.


ABSTRACT: There are four isoforms of the alpha subunit (alpha1-4) and three isoforms of the beta subunit (beta1-3) of Na,K-ATPase, with distinct tissue-specific distribution and physiological functions. alpha2 is thought to play a key role in cardiac and smooth muscle contraction and be an important target of cardiac glycosides. An alpha2-selective cardiac glycoside could provide important insights into physiological and pharmacological properties of alpha2. The isoform selectivity of a large number of cardiac glycosides has been assessed utilizing alpha1beta1, alpha2beta1, and alpha3beta1 isoforms of human Na,K-ATPase expressed in Pichia pastoris and the purified detergent-soluble isoform proteins. Binding affinities of the digitalis glycosides, digoxin, beta-methyl digoxin, and digitoxin show moderate but highly significant selectivity (up to 4-fold) for alpha2/alpha3 over alpha1 (K(D) alpha1 > alpha2 = alpha3). By contrast, ouabain shows moderate selectivity ( approximately 2.5-fold) for alpha1 over alpha2 (K(D) alpha1
