- W1978456988 abstract "Interactions between brain alpha2- and beta-adrenoceptors are of interest in physiological (aging) and pathological (major depression) processes involving both receptors. In this study, total beta-adrenoceptors and beta1/2-subtypes were quantitated in postmortem human brains to investigate their relationships with alpha2A-adrenoceptors and specific G proteins during the process of aging and in brains of suicide victims. Analysis of [3H]CGP12177 binding, in the presence of CGP20712A (beta1-antagonist), indicated that the predominant beta-adrenoceptor in the frontal cortex is the beta1-subtype (65-75%). The density of total beta- (r=-0.60, n=44) or beta1-adrenoceptors (r=-0.78, n=22), but not the beta2-subtype, declined with aging (3-80 years). The density of total beta- or beta1-adrenoceptors, but not the beta2-subtype, correlated with the number of alpha2-adrenoceptors quantitated in the same brains with the agonist [3H]UK14304 (r=0.71-0.81) or the antagonist [3H]RX821002 (r=0.61-0.66). Interestingly, the ratios alpha2/beta- or alpha2/beta1-adrenoceptors did not correlate with the age of the subject at death, indicating that the proportion of alpha2/beta-adrenoceptors in brain remains rather constant during the process of aging. The density of beta-adrenoceptors correlated with the immunodensity of G(alpha)s (r=0.55) and Gbeta (r=0.61) proteins, and that of alpha2-adrenoceptors with those of G(alpha)i1/2 (r=0.88) and Gbeta (r=0.65). In brains of suicides, compared to controls, the ratio between alpha2- and beta- or beta1-adrenoceptors (alpha2-full agonist sites/beta-sites) was greater (1.3- to 2.0-fold; P<0.05). The results demonstrate a close interdependence between brain alpha2- and beta-adrenoceptors during aging, and in brains of suicides. The quantitation of the alpha2A/beta-adrenoceptor ratio could represent a relevant neurochemical index in the study of brain pathologies in which both receptors are involved." @default.
