The effect of intracerebroventricular injections of pertussis toxin were investigated on the neuropeptide Y-induced modulation of alpha 2-adrenoceptor binding in membranes from the dorsomedial medulla oblongata of the rat. Concentration-response experiments showed that neuropeptide Y reduced the binding affinity of the alpha 2-agonist, p-[3H]aminoclonidine, with a maximal effect of 30% at 3-30 nM. Pertussis toxin treatment (10 micrograms, 24 h) counteracted this modulation, without reducing the binding of neuropeptide Y to its own receptor. The results indicate that pertussis toxin-sensitive G-proteins are essential for the mediation of the intramembrane interaction between neuropeptide Y receptors and alpha 2-adrenoceptors.
研究了脑室内注射百日咳毒素对大鼠延髓背内侧膜中神经肽Y诱导的α2-肾上腺素能受体结合调节的影响。浓度-反应实验表明,神经肽Y降低了α2-激动剂p-[3H]氨基可乐定的结合亲和力,在3-30 nM时最大效应为30%。百日咳毒素处理(10微克,24小时)可抵消这种调节作用,而不会降低神经肽Y与其自身受体的结合。结果表明,百日咳毒素敏感的G蛋白对于介导神经肽Y受体与α2-肾上腺素能受体之间的膜内相互作用至关重要。
