The β<sub>3</sub>-adrenergic receptor (β<sub>3</sub>AR) is predominantly expressed in adipose tissue and urinary bladder and has emerged as an attractive drug target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, obesity, and overactive bladder (OAB). Here, we report the cryogenic electron microscopy structure of the β<sub>3</sub>AR-G<sub>s</sub> signaling complex with the selective agonist mirabegron, a first-in-class drug for OAB. Comparison of this structure with the previously reported β<sub>1</sub>A ...[more]

Project description:The third isotype of beta-adrenoreceptors (?3-AR) has recently come (back) into focus after the observation of its expression in white and beige human adipocytes and its implication in metabolic regulation. This coincides with the recent development and marketing of agonists at the human receptor with superior specificity. Twenty years ago, however, we and others described the expression of ?3-AR in human myocardium and its regulation of contractility and cardiac remodeling. Subsequent work from many laboratories has since expanded the characterization of ?3-AR involvement in many aspects of cardiovascular physio(patho)logy, justifying the present effort to update current paradigms under the light of the most recent evidence.

Project description:Voiding dysfunctions, including increased voiding frequency, urgency, or incontinence, are prevalent in the postmenopausal population. Beta(3)-adrenergic receptor (beta(3)AR) agonists, which relax bladder smooth muscle, are being developed to treat these conditions. We utilized the rat ovariectomy (OVX) model to investigate the effect of ovarian hormone depletion on bladder function and the potential for beta(3)AR agonists to treat bladder hyperactivity in this setting. OVX increased voiding frequency and decreased bladder capacity by approximately 25% in awake rats and induced irregular cystometrograms in urethane-anesthetized rats. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction revealed three betaARs subtypes (beta(1,2,3)) in bladder tissue, and immunostaining indicated beta(3)AR localization in urothelium and detrusor. Receptor expression was not different in OVX and SHAM rats. The beta(3)AR agonist selectivity of BRL37344 [(+/-)-(R(*),R(*))-[4-[2-[[2-(3-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxyethyl]amino]propyl]phenoxy]acetic acid sodium hydrate], TAK-677 [(3-((2R)-(((2R)-(3-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxyethyl)amino)propyl)-1H-indol-7-yloxy)acetic acid], and FK175 [acetic acid, 2-[[(8S)-8-[[(2R)-2-(3-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxyethyl]amino]-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-benzocyclohepten-2-yl]oxy], ethyl ester, hydrochloride] was confirmed by examining the relative potency for elevation of cAMP in CHOK1 cells overexpressing the various rat betaARs. Intravenous injection of each of the beta(3)AR agonists (0.1-500 microg/kg) in anesthetized rats decreased voiding frequency, bladder pressure, and amplitude of bladder contractions. In bladder strips, beta(3)AR agonists (10(-12)-10(-4) M) decreased baseline tone and reduced spontaneous contractions. BRL37344 (5 mg/kg) and TAK-677 (5 mg/kg) injected intraperitoneally in awake rats decreased voiding frequency by 40 to 70%. These effects were not altered by OVX. The results indicate that OVX-induced bladder dysfunction, including decreased bladder capacity and increased voiding frequency, is not associated with changes in beta(3)AR expression or the bladder inhibitory effects of beta(3)AR agonists. This suggests that beta(3)AR agonists should prove effective for the treatment of overactive bladder symptoms in the postmenopausal population.

Project description:beta3-adrenergic receptor (beta3-AR) activation produces a negative inotropic effect in human ventricles. Here we explored the role of beta3-AR in the human atrium. Unexpectedly, beta3-AR activation increased human atrial tissue contractility and stimulated the L-type Ca2+ channel current (I Ca,L) in isolated human atrial myocytes (HAMs). Right atrial tissue specimens were obtained from 57 patients undergoing heart surgery for congenital defects, coronary artery diseases, valve replacement, or heart transplantation. The I(Ca,L) and isometric contraction were recorded using a whole-cell patch-clamp technique and a mechanoelectrical force transducer. Two selective beta3-AR agonists, SR58611 and BRL37344, and a beta3-AR partial agonist, CGP12177, stimulated I(Ca,L) in HAMs with nanomolar potency and a 60%-90% efficacy compared with isoprenaline. The beta3-AR agonists also increased contractility but with a much lower efficacy (approximately 10%) than isoprenaline. The beta3-AR antagonist L-748,337, beta1-/beta2-AR antagonist nadolol, and beta1-/beta2-/beta3-AR antagonist bupranolol were used to confirm the involvement of beta3-ARs (and not beta1-/beta2-ARs) in these effects. The beta3-AR effects involved the cAMP/PKA pathway, since the PKA inhibitor H89 blocked I(Ca,L) stimulation and the phosphodiesterase inhibitor 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX) strongly increased the positive inotropic effect. Therefore, unlike in ventricular tissue, beta3-ARs are positively coupled to L-type Ca2+ channels and contractility in human atrial tissues through a cAMP-dependent pathway.

Project description:Activation of beta-adrenergic receptors (AR) in adipocytes triggers acute changes in metabolism that can alter patterns of gene expression. This work examined the mechanisms by which activation of hormone sensitive lipase (HSL) induces expression of inflammatory cytokines in adipocytes in vivo and model adipocytes in vitro. beta3-AR activation in mice triggered expression of inflammatory genes CCL2, IL-6, and PAI-1, as well as endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress markers GRP78 and CHOP. Pharmacological inhibition of HSL blocked induction of inflammatory genes, but not ER stress markers. Promoting intracellular accumulation of free fatty acids (FFAs) in 3T3-L1 adipocytes increased expression of inflammatory cytokines, whereas inhibiting ceramide synthesis partly blocked PAI-1 expression, but not IL-6. Induction of inflammatory markers in vivo and in vitro was preceded by phosphorylation of p38 and JNK, and inhibition of HSL prevented activation of these kinases. Experiments with pharmacological inhibitors of specific MAP kinases demonstrated the importance of p38 MAPK as a mediator of lipolysis-induced inflammation in vivo and in vitro. Together, these results demonstrate that FFAs liberated by HSL activate p38 and JNK, and p38 mediates pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in adipose tissue.

Project description:Adult hippocampal neurogenesis is a critical form of cellular plasticity that is greatly influenced by neural activity. Among the neurotransmitters that are widely implicated in regulating this process are serotonin and norepinephrine, levels of which are modulated by stress, depression and clinical antidepressants. However, studies to date have failed to address a direct role for either neurotransmitter in regulating hippocampal precursor activity. Here we show that norepinephrine but not serotonin directly activates self-renewing and multipotent neural precursors, including stem cells, from the hippocampus of adult mice. Mechanistically, we provide evidence that beta(3)-adrenergic receptors, which are preferentially expressed on a Hes5-expressing precursor population in the subgranular zone (SGZ), mediate this norepinephrine-dependent activation. Moreover, intrahippocampal injection of a selective beta(3)-adrenergic receptor agonist in vivo increases the number of proliferating cells in the SGZ. Similarly, systemic injection of the beta-adrenergic receptor agonist isoproterenol not only results in enhancement of proliferation in the SGZ but also leads to an increase in the percentage of nestin/glial fibrillary acidic protein double-positive neural precursors in vivo. Finally, using a novel ex vivo "slice-sphere" assay that maintains an intact neurogenic niche, we demonstrate that antidepressants that selectively block the reuptake of norepinephrine, but not serotonin, robustly increase hippocampal precursor activity via beta-adrenergic receptors. These findings suggest that the activation of neurogenic precursors and stem cells via beta(3)-adrenergic receptors could be a potent mechanism to increase neuronal production, providing a putative target for the development of novel antidepressants.

Project description:Comparisons between structures of the β1-adrenergic receptor (AR) bound to either agonists, partial agonists, or weak partial agonists led to the proposal that rotamer changes of Ser(5.46), coupled to a contraction of the binding pocket, are sufficient to increase the probability of receptor activation. (RS)-4-[3-(tert-butylamino)-2-hydroxypropoxy]-1H-indole-2-carbonitrile (cyanopindolol) is a weak partial agonist of β1AR and, based on the hypothesis above, we predicted that the addition of a methyl group to form 4-[(2S)-3-(tert-butylamino)-2-hydroxypropoxy]-7-methyl-1H-indole-2-carbonitrile (7-methylcyanopindolol) would dramatically reduce its efficacy. An eight-step synthesis of 7-methylcyanopindolol was developed and its pharmacology was analyzed. 7-Methylcyanopindolol bound with similar affinity to cyanopindolol to both β1AR and β2AR. As predicted, the efficacy of 7-methylcyanopindolol was reduced significantly compared with cyanopindolol, acting as a very weak partial agonist of turkey β1AR and an inverse agonist of human β2AR. The structure of 7-methylcyanopindolol-bound β1AR was determined to 2.4-Å resolution and found to be virtually identical to the structure of cyanopindolol-bound β1AR. The major differences in the orthosteric binding pocket are that it has expanded by 0.3 Å in 7-methylcyanopindolol-bound β1AR and the hydroxyl group of Ser(5.46) is positioned 0.8 Å further from the ligand, with respect to the position of the Ser(5.46) side chain in cyanopindolol-bound β1AR. Thus, the molecular basis for the reduction in efficacy of 7-methylcyanopindolol compared with cyanopindolol may be regarded as the opposite of the mechanism proposed for the increase in efficacy of agonists compared with antagonists.

Project description:Activation of beta3 adrenergic receptors on the surface of adipocytes leads to increases in intracellular cAMP and stimulation of lipolysis. In brown adipose tissue, this serves to up-regulate and activate the mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1, which mediates a proton conductance pathway that uncouples oxidative phosphorylation, leading to a net increase in energy expenditure. While chronic treatment with beta3 agonists in nonprimate species leads to uncoupling protein 1 up-regulation and weight loss, the relevance of this mechanism to energy metabolism in primates, which have much lower levels of brown adipose tissue, has been questioned. With the discovery of L-755,507, a potent and selective partial agonist for both human and rhesus beta3 receptors, we now demonstrate that acute exposure of rhesus monkeys to a beta3 agonist elicits lipolysis and metabolic rate elevation, and that chronic exposure increases uncoupling protein 1 expression in rhesus brown adipose tissue. These data suggest a role for beta3 agonists in the treatment of human obesity.

Project description:AimsProgressive left ventricular (LV) remodelling with cardiac myocyte hypertrophy, myocardial fibrosis, and endothelial dysfunction plays a key role in the onset and progression of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. The Beta3-LVH trial will test the hypothesis that the β3 adrenergic receptor agonist mirabegron will improve LV hypertrophy and diastolic function in patients with hypertensive structural heart disease at high risk for developing heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.Methods and resultsBeta3-LVH is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, two-armed, multicentre, European, parallel group study. A total of 296 patients will be randomly assigned to receive either mirabegron 50 mg daily or placebo over 12 months. The main inclusion criterion is the presence of LV hypertrophy, that is, increased LV mass index (LVMi) or increased wall thickening by echocardiography. The co-primary endpoints are a change in LVMi by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and a change in LV diastolic function (assessed by the E/e' ratio). Secondary endpoints include mirabegron's effects on cardiac fibrosis, left atrial volume index, maximal exercise capacity, and laboratory markers. Two substudies will evaluate mirabegron's effect on endothelial function by pulse amplitude tonometry and brown fat activity by positron emission tomography using 17F-fluorodeoxyglucose. Morbidity and mortality as well as safety aspects will also be assessed.ConclusionsBeta3-LVH is the first large-scale clinical trial to evaluate the effects of mirabegron on LVMi and diastolic function in patients with LVH. Beta3-LVH will provide important information about the clinical course of this condition and may have significant impact on treatment strategies and future trials in these patients.
