gamma-Aminobutyric acidB receptor activation modifies agonist binding to beta-adrenergic receptors in rat brain cerebral cortex.

The interaction of isoproterenol with beta-adrenergic receptor (beta AR) binding sites was measured in membranes prepared from rat brain cerebral cortical slices previously incubated in the presence or absence of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor agonists. Both GABA and baclofen, but not isoguvacine, altered beta AR agonist binding by increasing the affinity of both the low- and high-affinity binding sites and by increasing the proportion of low-affinity receptors. The response to baclofen was stereoselective, and the effect of GABA was not inhibited by bicuculline. The results suggest that GABAB, but not GABAA, receptor activation modifies the coupling between beta AR and stimulatory guanine nucleotide-binding protein, which may in part explain the ability of baclofen to augment isoproterenol-stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation in brain slices.[1]
