title: Alteration of binding sites for [3H]P1075 and [3H]glibenclamide in renovascular hypertensive rat aorta.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The alterations of the binding sites for ATP-sensitive K+ channel (K(ATP)) openers and blockers in aortic strips were investigated in hypertensive rats.
  
  
  METHODS
  Radioligand binding techniques were used to compare the specific binding properties of [3H]P1075 and [3H]glibenclamide (Gli) in normotensive (NWR) and reno-vascular hypertensive rat (RVHR) aortic strips.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The KD values of [3H]P1075 binding were increased by 1.5-fold, while the Bmax values were unchanged in RVHR. The IC50 values of P1075 and pinacidil (Pin) for displacing the [3H]P1075 binding in RVHR were increased by 1.8- and 1.7-fold, respectively. The kinetic processes of association and dissociation of [3H]P1075 binding were slower in RVHR. Glibenclamide pretreatment slowed down the kinetic processes of the association and dissociation of [3H]P1075 binding in NWR, but failed to alter the kinetic processes of [3H]P1075 binding in RVHR. The IC50 values of Gli for displacing the [3H]Gli binding at high-affinity sites were increased by 3-fold, while those at low-affinity sites remained to be unchanged in RVHR. The kinetic processes of association of [3H]Gli binding were decreased and those of the dissociation were accelerated in RVHR. The treatment with Pin slowed down the association kinetic processes but accelerated the process of the dissociation of [3H]Gli binding in NWR, but did not alter the kinetics of [3H]Gli binding in RVHR.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The affinity of binding sites for [3H]P1075 and of high-affinity binding sites for [3H]Gli are decreased, and the negative allosteric interactions between the two binding sites are impaired in RVHR aorta.
