ABSTRACT
The Pz-adrenergic receptor (p2AR) couples to Gs, activating adenylyl cyclase (AC) and increasing CAMP. Such signaling undergoes desensitization with continued agonist exposure. P2AR also couple to Gi after receptor phosphorylation by the CAMP dependent protein kinase A, but the efficiency of such coupling is not known. Given the PKA dependence of P2AR-Gi coupling, we explored whether this may be a mechanism of agonist-promoted desensitization. HEK293 cells were transfected to express P2AR or P2AR and Gia2, and then treated with vehicle or the agonist isoproterenol to evoke agonist- promoted p2AR desensitization. Membrane AC activities showed that Gia2 overexpression decreased basal levels, but the fold-stimulation of the AC over basal by agonist was not altered. However, with treatment of the cells with isoproterenol prior to membrane preparation, a marked decrease in agonist- stimulated AC was observed with the cells overexpressing Gid. In the absence of such overexpression, P2AR desensitization was 23f7%, while with 5-fold G,d overexpression desensitization was 58+5% (p<O.Ol, n 4 ) . The effect of Gi on desensitization was receptor-specific, in that forskolin responses were not altered by Gia2 overexpression. Thus, acquired PzAR coupling to Gi is an important mechanism of agonist-promoted desensitization, and pathologic conditions that increase G, levels contribute to p2AR dysfunction.

INTRODUCTION
Desensitization is defined as the waning of a signal despite continued
presence of a stimulus. Like many G-protein coupled receptors, the P2-adrenergic
receptor ( P A R ) displays desensitization during continuous exposure to agonists
(1). The process is initiated within seconds to minutes of agonist exposure. This
rapid form of desensitization has been shown, in part, to be due to
phosphorylation of the receptor which acts to uncouple the receptor from its
cognate G-protein, G, (2). This results, then, in a decrease in agonist-stimulated
adenylyl cyclase activity and intracellular CAMP levels. Agonist-promoted
phosphorylation of the P 2 A R occurs via the PAR kinase (PARK) and protein
kinase A (PKA) (2). The latter represents a classic negative feedback loop, in that
the second messenger that is increased as a consequence of signal transduction
serves as the trigger for signal attenuation. In contrast, PARK mediated
phosphorylation of P z A R is not dependent on CAMP, but rather requires that the
receptor be in the active (agonist-occupied) conformation.
Several studies have suggested that P2AR coupling to the inhibitory G-protein,
Gi, may also be a mechanism of desensitization although the hypothesis has not
been explicitly tested. In peptide based studies, it has been shown that following
PKA phosphorylation a peptide identical to a portion of the third intracellular loop
of the P2AR binds G,i (3). Furthermore, P z A R expressed in HEK293 cells couple
to activation of the mitogen activated protein kinase (MAP kinase) pathway,
presumably via the Py derived from Gi (4). Interestingly, in animal models of
heart failure and asthma, two diseases where P z A R dysfunction is known to occur,
G, has been found to be elevated in heart (5,6) or lung (7,8). This has given rise
to the idea that P z A R coupling to Gi may decrease basal or agonist-mediated
coupling of the receptor to the stimulation of adenylyl cyclase, or may be a
component of desensitization. To directly test the notion that PZAR-Gi coupling
occurs and is a mechanism of agonist-promoted desensitization, we canied out
studies using HEK293 cells transfected to overexpress P z A R , or PzAR along with the a subunit of Gi2.

DESENSITIZATION OF P,-ADRENERGIC RECEPTOR 77
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Materials: HEK293 cells were from American Type Culture Collection.
Pertussis toxin was from Sigma. Tissue culture media and antibiotics were from
Gibco. '251-CYP, [3H]cAMP, and [a3P]ATP were from New England Nuclear.
Transfections and cell culture: HEK293 cells were transfected using a calcium
phosphate technique as previously described (9). Constructs consisted of the
human PzAR in the expression vector pBCl2BI (1 0) and the rat Gja2 in the vector
pCDNA1. Cells were transfected with 10 pg of the P2AR construct alone or 10
pg of the p 2 A R construct and 5 pg of the Ga,z construct and studied two days
later. Cells were maintained in Dulbecco's modified Eagles medium with 10%
fetal calf serum in a 95% air, 5% C02 atmosphere at 37°C .
Immunoblots: Polyclonal antisera against Gai2 (Santa CW) was used at a titer of
1 :200 in immunoblots to detect the level of expressed Gaj2 in whole cell lysates as
described (1 1). Blots were developed by enhanced chemiluminescence and
quantitated using Scan Analysis software.
Radiolinand binding: Cells in monolayers were washed three times with
phosphate buffered saline and detached and disrupted by scraping with a rubber
policeman in 5 m M Tris, pH 7.4, 2mM EDTA buffer at 4". The suspension was
centrifiged once at 38,000 xg for 10 minutes and the membranes resuspended in
75 mM Tris, pH 7.40, 5mM MgC12, 2mM EDTA buffer at 25". Receptor density
was determined by radioligand binding with 251-cyanopindolol ( ' 2 5 1 - C ~ ) as
described (12) at 25" for two hours. Bound '251-CYP was separated from free by
rapid vacuum filtration over glass fiber filters.
Adenvlvl Cvclase Activity: Membranes prepared as above were resuspended in a
buffer that provided for 30 mM Tris, pH 7.4, 2 mM MgCl2 and 0.8 mM EDTA in
the final reaction. Activities were determined in a reaction which consisted of

membranes (-10 pg), 120 uM ATP, 60 uM GTP, 2.8 mM phosphoenolpyruvate,
50 pg/ml myokinase, 100 pM CAMP and 2 pCi [d2P]ATP for 30 minutes at 37"
as described (13). Reactions were carried out with various concentrations of
isoproterenol, water (basal), or 100 pM forskolin. [32P]cAMP was separated from
[32P]ATP by column chromatography over alumina columns. A [3H]cAMP
standard included in the stop buffer was used to account for individual column
recovery. Protein determination was by the copper bicinchoninic acid method
(14).
STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
Dose-response curves were analyzed by an iterative least-squares technique
using Prizm software (San Diego, CA). Statistical comparisons were made by
paired or unpaired t-tests as appropriate. Significance was imparted when p<0.05.
Data are presented as mean f standard error (SE).
RESULTS
Our initial efforts utilized pertussis toxin, an agent that ADP-ribosylates Gai
rendering it unable to couple to receptors (15). The approach was to expose cells
in culture overnight to 500 ng/ml of the toxin and then assess the effects on p 2 A R
coupling to adenylyl cyclase. As shown in figure 1, basal and isoproterenol (as
well as forskolin) stimulated adenylyl cyclase activities were increased with
pertussis toxin treatment. Although absolute levels of adenylyl cyclase activity
were increased, the fold-stimulation by isoproterenol over basal was not affected
by toxin (2.27f0.04 fold in the absence and 2.401t0.17 fold in the presence of the
toxin pN.05). This sensitization of adenylyl cyclase by pertussis toxin, which
has been previously described (16,17), makes it difficult to assess receptor
coupling under these conditions. Agonist-promoted desensitization would be
particularly problematic, since the enhanced adenylyl cyclase activity elevates
CAMP and thus PKA activity, which would serve to desensitize the p 2 A R prior to
agonist exposure.

FIG 1. Pertussis toxin sensitizes adenylyl cyclase but does not increase P z A R stimulation of adenylyl cyclase over basal activities. HEK293 cells were incubated with 500 ng/ml pertussis toxin or vehicle for 18 hours at 37", membranes prepared, and adenylyl cyclase activities determined. The fold stimulation by isoproterenol over basal levels was not increased by pertussis toxin. Shown are results of 4 experiments.
Given the above, we next turned to a strategy whereby P2AR was expressed
alone, or P z A R and Gaiz were co-expressed, in HEK293 cells. P2AR was
overexpressed by >50 fold, so that the ratio of receptor to Gai2 would be increased
and the G protein became a limiting factor. With concomitant overexpression of
Gaiz, then, an augmentation of any effects of receptor-Gai coupling would be
expected if such coupling indeed occurred. The amount of the Gai2 construct used
for the transfections was adjusted such that Gai2 was overexpressed -5 fold over
background (figure 2).
The effects of such overexpression of Gail on adenylyl cyclase activity are
shown in figure 3. Basal levels of activity were 9.06f1.04 pmol/min/mg in the
absence of Gal2 overexpression and 6.91fl. 1 pmol/min/mg with overexpression
( ~ ~ 0 . 0 5 , n= 4). Maximal agonist-stimulated activities were also lower, but the
fold-stimulation of adenylyl cyclase over basal by agonist (2.23f0.12 fold) was
not changed by concomitant Gai2 overexpression (2.28f0.16 fold, pN.05).
Given that it is the PKA phosphorylated form of the P z A R that is proposed to
actively couple to Gi, we next examined the effect of Gai2 overexpression on

Thus after agonist exposure, the p 2 A R attained the ability to functionally couple

extent of desensitization due to overexpressed Gai2 was more than double that

cells only overexpressing p2AR (control = 75.3rt7.5 pmol/min/mg, agonist treated
= 77.5f11.1 pmol/min/mg) and this pattern was not altered by concomitant
overexpression of Gai2 (60.4f7.5 vs 57.3rt7.5 pmol/min/mg, respectively).
DISCUSSION
Agonist-promoted desensitization of G-protein coupled receptors such as the
P2-adrenergic receptor (p2AR) serves to assimilate the many signals received by
the cell in order to maintain homeostasis, but may also be maladaptive in certain
diseases or in tachphylaxis to therapeutic agonists (1,lS). A recent report
demonstrates that p2AR, which are classically considered to be coupled to G, and
the stimulation of adenylyl cyclase, are also coupled to the stimulation MAP
kinase (4). This signalling was found to be acquired by the receptor via
phosphorylation by PKA, which results in coupling of p2AR to the inhibitory G- protein, Gi. While such multifunctional signalling has implications relative to this
new pathway, we have considered that agonist-dependent Gi coupling may serve
another role. Since G, and Gi have opposing effects on the activity of adenylyl
cyclase, this switch to Gi coupling also has the potential to participate in a
dampening of the stimulatory signal to adenylyl cyclase and thus could represent
an additional mechanism of agonist-promoted desensitization of the p 2 A R .
Furthermore, if such P2AR.-Gi coupling indeed has this function, increases in the
cellular levels of Gi in certain diseases might be a mechanism of enhanced p2AR
desensitization. Indeed, in animal models of heart failure (19,20) and the human
syndrome (5,6), Gi levels have been observed to be increased on the order of
several fold. Whether such increases are a specific mechanism of p2AR
desensitization, though, are not known. Similarly, in animal models of asthma (7,
8), p2AR mediated signaling is depressed and Gi levels of the large airways are
increased due to passive sensitization and cytokine exposure. Clearly in both of
the above diseases, desensitization of the p2AR in cardiomyocytes or bronchial
smooth muscle, respectively, occurs and acts to limit receptor function. In heart
failure, this desensitization limits cardiac inotropy and chronotropy and the

response to endogenous and exogenously administered agonists. Such
desensitization may be maladaptive at certain stages of the disease, but may also
serve a protective function in advanced disease by minimizing cardiac energy
expenditure in the face of limited metabolic reserves (21). In asthma, P 2 A R
desensitization by increased Gi may occur through receptor crosstalk or immune
stimulated mechanisms, and leads to increased bronchial obstruction due to
depressed function of the major bronchodilating receptor of the airway. In
addition, the response to P-agonists, the most commonly utilized agents used for
the treatment of obstructive airways diseases, is attenuated under these conditions.
In the current study we show that an increase of Gj expression of -5 fold,
which is similar in magnitude to that observed in heart failure and asthma, causes
enhanced agonist-promoted desensitization of p 2 A R function. The increase in Gi
was found to lower adenylyl cyclase activities determined in cell membranes.
However, the fold-stimulation by isoproterenol over basal was not altered by
increased G, expression. We thus conclude that in the absence of conditions
where PKA is activated, that P2AR-Gi coupling is insignificant. However when
PKA is activated in the cell, such as with persistent agonist exposure or with
activation of other G, coupled receptors, P2AR-Gi coupling is of sufficient
efficiency to decrease adenylyl cyclase activity. As such, this affects the increase
promoted by PZAR-G, coupling and thus P2AR-Gi coupling can be a significant
component of desensitization of P2AR signaling to the stimulation of adenylyl
cyclase.
