Inhibition of alpha 1-adrenoceptor-mediated inositol phosphate accumulation in cultured cardiac myocytes by cyclic AMP-generating compounds.
Exclusive stimulation of the alpha 1-adrenoceptor in cultured cardiac myocytes led to a time-dependent increase of multiple inositol phosphate isomers. However, under physiological conditions, alpha 1-adrenergic stimulation is accompanied by beta-adrenergic stimulation as noradrenaline is a ligand for both receptors. Thus, the aim of our study was to investigate the cross-talk between the alpha 1- and the beta-adrenoceptor on the post-receptor level. When both the alpha 1- and the beta-adrenoceptor were stimulated with noradrenaline for 30 s, a diminished increase in all inositol phosphates and a concomitant increase in cAMP was observed. Similar results were obtained by pre-incubation of the myocytes with forskolin for 2 min and subsequent stimulation of the alpha 1-adrenoceptor for 30 s. In contrast, after 15 min the inhibitory effect of simultaneous beta-stimulation as well as of forskolin pre-treatment upon the alpha 1-mediated inositol phosphate response was abolished, although the concentration of cAMP was still elevated. These data suggest that beta-adrenoceptor- and forskolin-induced cAMP production or a cAMP-activated subsequent signal have a short-term, transient, inhibitory effect on alpha 1-adrenoceptor-mediated inositol phosphate response.
