  • Title: Differential inhibition of secretagogue-stimulated sodium uptake in adrenal chromaffin cells by activation of D4 and D5 dopamine receptors.
    Author: Dahmer MK, Senogles SE.
    Journal: J Neurochem; 1996 Nov; 67(5):1960-4. PubMed ID: 8863501.
    Abstract:
    Recent studies have demonstrated that D1-selective and D2-selective dopamine receptor agonists inhibit catecholamine secretion and Ca2+ uptake into bovine adrenal chromaffin cells by receptor subtypes that we have identified by PCR as D5, a member of the D1-like dopamine receptor subfamily, and D4, a member of the D2-like dopamine receptor subfamily. The purpose of this study was to determine whether activation of D5 or D4 receptors inhibits influx of Na+, which could explain inhibition of secretion and Ca2+ uptake by dopamine agonists. D1-selective agonists preferentially inhibited both dimethylphenylpiperazinium- (DMPP) and veratridine-stimulated 22Na+ influx into chromaffin cells. The D1-selective agonists chloro-APB hydrobromide (CI-APB; 100 microM) and SKF-38393 (< 00 microM) inhibited DMPP-stimulated Na+ uptake by 87.5 +/- 2.3 and 59.7 +/- 4.5%, respectively, whereas the D2-selective agonist bromocriptine (100 microM) inhibited Na+ uptake by only 22.9 +/- 5.0%. Veratridine-stimulated Na+ uptake was inhibited 95.1 +/- 3.2 and 25.7 +/- 4.7% by 100 microM CI-APB or bromocriptine, respectively. The effect of CI-APB was concentration dependent. A similar IC50 (approximately 18 microM) for inhibition of both DMPP- and veratridine-stimulated Na+ uptake was obtained. The addition of 8-bromo-cyclic AMP (1 mM) had no effect on either DMPP- or veratridine-stimulated Na+ uptake. These observations suggest that D1-selective agonists are inhibiting secretagogue-stimulated Na+ uptake in a cyclic AMP-independent manner.
