A2A adenosine receptors from rat striatum and rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells: characterization with radioligand binding and by activation of adenylate cyclase.

ABSTRACT: Binding assays and assays of activation of adenylate cyclase with the agonists 5'-N-ethylcarboxyamidoadenosine (NECA) and CGS21680 have been used to compare adenosine receptors in rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells and in rat striatum. The [3H]NECA binding showed two components, whereas [3H]CGS21680 bound to one component in both tissues. The Kd value for the high affinity site labeled with [3H]NECA in PC12 cell membranes (2.3 nM) was lower than that in striatum (6.5 nM). The [3H]CGS21680 binding site showed a Kd value of 6.7 nM and 11.3 nM in PC12 cells and striatum, respectively. In the presence of GTP the KD values of [3H]NECA and [3H]CGS21680 for the high affinity site were increased severalfold, whereas the low affinity sites for [3H]NECA were no longer detected with filtration assays. A comparison of the ability of a series of agonists and antagonists to inhibit high affinity binding of [3H]NECA to A2 receptors in PC12 cell and striatal membranes indicated that agonists had higher affinities and antagonists had lower affinities in PC12 cells, compared with affinities in striatal membranes. Analysis of activation of adenylate cyclase in PC12 cell membranes suggested that the dose-dependent stimulation by NECA involved two components, whereas CGS21680 stimulated via one component. The maximal stimulation by NECA significantly exceeded that caused by CGS21680. In intact PC12 cells, NECA caused a greater accumulation of AMP than did CGS21680, as was the case in membranes. In striatal membranes, NECA and CGS21680 showed similar maximal stimulations of adenylate cyclase. Both NECA and CGS21680 were more potent in PC12 cell membranes than in striatal membranes, in agreement with binding data. However, in contrast to binding data, antagonists were not less potent versus stimulation of adenylate cyclase by NECA or CGS21680 in PC12 cell membranes, compared with striatal membranes. In toto, the results suggest that A2A receptors in striatum are virtually identical to the A2A receptors in PC12 cells. But, in addition to an A2A receptor, it appears that a lower affinity functional receptor, probably an A2B receptor, is present in PC12 cells and PC12 cell membranes, whereas such a functional low affinity receptor is not detectable in striatal membrane.

Project description:Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) promotes neurite outgrowth and inhibits proliferation of rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells. Characterizing the PACAP-differentiated PC12 cell transcriptome should provide genetic insight into how these processes occur in these cells, and in neuronal precursors in vivo. For this purpose, RNA samples were collected from PC12 cells before or after a 6-h treatment with PACAP, from which a labeled cDNA was hybridized to a high-density cDNA array containing 15 365 genes. The genomic response to PACAP involves at least 73 genes. Among the genes differentially expressed in the presence of PACAP, 71% were up regulated, and 29% down regulated, 2-fold or more. Sixty-six percent of the messages affected by PACAP code for functionally categorized proteins, most not previously known to be regulated during PC12 cell differentiation. PACAP has been shown to induce PC12 cell neurite outgrowth through the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) pathway independently of protein kinase A (PKA). Therefore treatments were conducted in the absence or presence of the PKA inhibitor H89, or the MEK inhibitor U0126 in order to identify subsets of genes involved in specific aspects of PC12 cell differentiation. Co-treatment of PC12 cells with PACAP plus H89 revealed a cluster of five genes specifically regulated through the PKA pathway and co-treatment of the cells with PACAP and U0126 revealed a cluster of 13 messages specifically activated through the MEK pathway. Many of the known genes regulated by PACAP have been associated with neuritogenesis (i.e. villin 2 or annexin A2) or cell growth (i.e. growth arrest specific 1 or cyclin B2). Thus, some of the expressed sequence tags (ESTs) that exhibit the same regulation pattern (i.e. AU016391 or AW552690) may also be involved in the neuritogenic and anti-mitogenic effects of PACAP in PC12 cells. Among the 73 PACAP regulated genes, 10 are disqualified on pharmacological grounds as actors in PACAP-mediated neurite outgrowth or growth arrest, leaving 63 new PACAP-regulated genes implicated in neuronal differentiation. Thirteen of these are candidates for mediating ERK-dependent neurite outgrowth, and 47 are possibly involved in the ERK-independent growth arrest induced by PACAP.
