Role of 90-kDa Heat Shock Protein (Hsp 90) and Protein Degradation in Regulating Neuronal Levels of G Protein- Coupled Receptor Kinase 3

ABSTRACT Cellular levels of G protein-coupled receptor kinase (GRK)3 determine the sensitivity of the ␣ 2A/B -adrenoceptor (␣ 2 -AR) to agonist-induced down-regulation. Using human neuroblastoma BE(2)-C cells, this study examines how cellular GRK3 levels are affected by several mechanisms reported to influence stability and degradation of other GRKs. We first examined the interaction between the 90-kDa heat shock protein (Hsp90) and GRK3; Hsp90 reportedly affects the maturation and stability of GRK2. In unstimulated cells, GRK3 coimmunoprecipitates with Hsp90, suggesting a physical interaction. Moreover, when GRK3 protein expression was increased by 24-h epinephrine (EPI) treatment, Hsp90 protein expression increased with a similar but slightly delayed time course. To investigate the influence of Hsp90 on GRK3 protein stability, we determined the effect of the Hsp90 inhibitor geldanamycin (GA) on cellular GRK3 levels. GA eliminated the interaction between Hsp90 with GRK3 and produced a rapid, proteasome-mediated, 70% decrease in GRK3 levels within 24 h. To investigate the influence of Hsp90 on up-regulation of GRK3 expression, we examined the effect of GA on EPI-induced up-regulation. GA reduced the absolute increase in GRK3; however, the percentage of increase in GRK3 by EPI was not significantly different in the absence versus presence of GA (141 Ϯ 41 versus 94 Ϯ 12%). Finally, we examined the influence of Ca 2ϩ -activated proteases on cellular GRK3. Treatment with the calcium ionophore ionomycin produced a rapid decrease in GRK3 levels that was inhibited by the calpain inhibitor calpeptin. In conclusion, several mechanisms influence the degradation of GRK3 and therefore have the potential to affect GPCR signaling by regulating GRK3 levels in neurons

Adrenoceptors in GtoPdb v.2023.3

The nomenclature of the Adrenoceptors has been agreed by the NC-IUPHAR Subcommittee on Adrenoceptors [64, 194]. Adrenoceptors, α1 The three α1-adrenoceptor subtypes α1A, α1B and α1D are activated by the endogenous agonists (-)-adrenaline and (-)-noradrenaline. -(-)phenylephrine, methoxamine and cirazoline are agonists and prazosin and doxazosin antagonists considered selective for α1- relative to α2-adrenoceptors. [3H]prazosin and [125I]HEAT (BE2254) are relatively selective radioligands. S(+)-niguldipine also has high affinity for L-type Ca2+ channels. Fluorescent derivatives of prazosin (Bodipy FLprazosin- QAPB) are used to examine cellular localisation of α1-adrenoceptors. α1-Adrenoceptor agonists are used as nasal decongestants; antagonists to treat symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (alfuzosin, doxazosin, terazosin, tamsulosin and silodosin, with the last two compounds being α1A-adrenoceptor selective and claiming to relax bladder neck tone with less hypotension); and to a lesser extent hypertension (doxazosin, terazosin). The α1- and β2-adrenoceptor antagonist carvedilol is used to treat congestive heart failure, although the contribution of α1-adrenoceptor blockade to the therapeutic effect is unclear. Several anti-depressants and anti-psychotic drugs are α1-adrenoceptor antagonists contributing to side effects such as orthostatic hypotension. Adrenoceptors, α2The three α2-adrenoceptor subtypes α2A, α2B and α2C are activated by (-)-adrenaline and with lower potency by (-)-noradrenaline. brimonidine and talipexole are agonists and rauwolscine and yohimbine antagonists selective for α2- relative to α1-adrenoceptors. [3H]rauwolscine, [3H]brimonidine and [3H]RX821002 are relatively selective radioligands. There are species variations in the pharmacology of the α2A-adrenoceptor. Multiple mutations of α2-adrenoceptors have been described, some associated with alterations in function. Presynaptic α2-adrenoceptors regulate many functions in the nervous system. The α2-adrenoceptor agonists clonidine, guanabenz and brimonidine affect central baroreflex control (hypotension and bradycardia), induce hypnotic effects and analgesia, and modulate seizure activity and platelet aggregation. clonidine is an anti-hypertensive (relatively little used) and counteracts opioid withdrawal. dexmedetomidine (also xylazine) is increasingly used as a sedative and analgesic in human [33] and veterinary medicine and has sympatholytic and anxiolytic properties. The α2-adrenoceptor antagonist mirtazapine is used as an anti-depressant. The α2B subtype appears to be involved in neurotransmission in the spinal cord and α2C in regulating catecholamine release from adrenal chromaffin cells. Although subtype-selective antagonists have been developed, none are used clinically and they remain experimental tools. Adrenoceptors, β The three β-adrenoceptor subtypes β1, β2 and β3 are activated by the endogenous agonists (-)-adrenaline and (-)-noradrenaline. Isoprenaline is selective for β-adrenoceptors relative to α1- and α2-adrenoceptors, while propranolol (pKi 8.2-9.2) and cyanopindolol (pKi 10.0-11.0) are relatively selective antagonists for β1- and β2- relative to β3-adrenoceptors. (-)-noradrenaline, xamoterol and (-)-Ro 363 show selectivity for β1- relative to β2-adrenoceptors. Pharmacological differences exist between human and mouse β3-adrenoceptors, and the 'rodent selective' agonists BRL 37344 and CL316243 have low efficacy at the human β3-adrenoceptor whereas CGP 12177 (low potency) and L 755507 activate human β3-adrenoceptors [88]. β3-Adrenoceptors are resistant to blockade by propranolol, but can be blocked by high concentrations of bupranolol. SR59230A has reasonably high affinity at β3-adrenoceptors, but does not discriminate between the three β- subtypes [332] whereas L-748337 is more selective. [125I]-cyanopindolol, [125I]-hydroxy benzylpindolol and [3H]-alprenolol are high affinity radioligands that label β1- and β2- adrenoceptors and β3-adrenoceptors can be labelled with higher concentrations (nM) of [125I]-cyanopindolol together with β1- and β2-adrenoceptor antagonists. Fluorescent ligands such as BODIPY-TMR-CGP12177 can be used to track β-adrenoceptors at the cellular level [8]. Somewhat selective β1-adrenoceptor agonists (denopamine, dobutamine) are used short term to treat cardiogenic shock but, chronically, reduce survival. β1-Adrenoceptor-preferring antagonists are used to treat cardiac arrhythmias (atenolol, bisoprolol, esmolol) and cardiac failure (metoprolol, nebivolol) but also in combination with other treatments to treat hypertension (atenolol, betaxolol, bisoprolol, metoprolol and nebivolol) [528]. Cardiac failure is also treated with carvedilol that blocks β1- and β2-adrenoceptors, as well as α1-adrenoceptors. Short (salbutamol, terbutaline) and long (formoterol, salmeterol) acting β2-adrenoceptor-selective agonists are powerful bronchodilators used to treat respiratory disorders. Many first generation β-adrenoceptor antagonists (propranolol) block both β1- and β2-adrenoceptors and there are no β2-adrenoceptor-selective antagonists used therapeutically. The β3-adrenoceptor agonist mirabegron is used to control overactive bladder syndrome. There is evidence to suggest that β-adrenoceptor antagonists can reduce metastasis in certain types of cancer [197]
