Background: β-Adrenergic receptors (β-ARs) are members of the superfamily G-protein-coupled receptors that are stimulated by naturally occurring catecholamines, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. As part of the sympathetic nervous system, β-ARs have been shown to have important roles in cardiovascular, respiratory, metabolic, central nervous system, and reproductive functions. Three distinct β-AR subtypes have been identified (β1-AR, β2-AR, and β3-AR). All three of these β-AR subtypes are believed to signal by coupling to the stimulatory G-protein Gsα which leads to the activation of adenylyl cyclase and accumulation of the second messenger cAMP. β1-ARs mediate cardiac stimulation, β2-ARs mediate smooth muscle relaxation in the peripheral vasculature and respiratory system, and β3-AR has been shown to have important roles in adipose tissue and gastrointestinal tract. In studies using subtype-selective agonists and antagonists in the human heart, β2-AR stimulation leads to the activation of adenylyl cyclase and contributes to both inotropic and chronotropic responses. -1- III.

Binding was terminated by rapid filtration. Specific binding was defined by subtracting NSB from total binding. Data were fit to one-site binding equation using a non-linear regression method.

Incubated 0.5 μg membranes with radio labeled ligand and unlabeled competitor (see Figures 1 and 2 for concentrations tested) in binding buffer in a nonbinding 96-well plate. Incubated for 60 min at 37°C. 2. Prior to filtration, coat a GF/C 96-well filter plate with 0.5% polyethyleneimine (PEI) for 30 min at 4°C, then washed the plate with 1 ml/well 50mM HEPES, 0.5% BSA (pH 7.4). 3. Transfer the binding mixtures then to the filter plate. After quick filtration, wash the plate for 3 times (3 ml per well totally) with Wash Buffer. 4. Dry the plate for 0.5 h and then add 50 μl scintillation cocktail (Microscint20). Stay for 1min and count on TopCount NXT for 1 min/well. 5. Binding buffer: 50 mM HEPES, pH7.4, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM CaCl2, 0.2% BSA, filtered and stored at 4°C 6. Wash Buffer: 50 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 500 mM NaCl, 0.1% BSA, filtered and stored at 4°C. V.
