Distribution of α1-adrenoceptor subtype proteins in different tissues of neonatal and adult rats

Abstract

Distribution of α1-adrenoceptor (α1AR) subtype (α1A, α1B, α1D) proteins in brain, heart, kidney, and liver of 1-week-old rats and in brain, heart, aorta, kidney, liver, vas deferens, prostate, and adrenal glands of adult rats was investigated by Western analysis, using receptor subtype specific polyclonal antibodies. High levels of immunoreactive α1AAR and α1DAR in brain and heart and of α1BAR in liver and heart of neonatal rats were detected. In adult rat tissues, the abundance of α1AAR protein was most marked in the brain, intermediate in heart, aorta, liver, vas deferens, and adrenals, and minimal in the kidney and prostate; relative to other tissues, the expression of α1BAR was higher in brain and heart and that of α1DAR in brain. All the three receptor subtypes increased with age in the brain cortex, whereas the abundance of α1BAR increased in the heart but decreased in the liver; α1AAR and α1DAR in liver, kidney, and heart were not affected by age. It is concluded that α1AR subtypes are widely expressed in different neonatal and adult rat tissues.Key words: α1A-adrenoceptors, α1B-adrenoceptors, α1D-adrenoceptors, α1-adrenoceptor proteins.
