摘要
The physiological effects of prostaglandins (PGs) are mediated through their interactions with specific binding sites (receptors) on effector cells. Since such receptors potentially regulate the action of PGs on the kidney, the distribution and properties of renal PG receptors in the rat were examined. The distribution of PGE2, PGE1, and PGF2 alpha receptors along the nephron was not uniform; the outer medulla had by far the greatest density of sites, followed by the inner medulla and cortex. Receptors were found exclusively in the particulate fractions, of which the 40,000g pellet had the highest specific activity. In the outer medulla, receptor density calculated from Scatchard plots was 2.12 pmol/mg for PGE2, 1.12 for PGE1, and 0.44 for PGF2 alpha; the KD's were similar for all prostaglandins. The conditions for optimal in vitro binding of PGE2 and PGF2 alpha by outer medullary membranes were investigated. In vivo administration of 16,16'-dimethyl-PGE2 resulted in a dose-dependent "down" regulation of PGE2 binding to outer medullary membranes due to changes in both the number and affinities of receptors. Changes in the numbers and/or properties of PG receptors may be an important mechanism for regulating the effects of PGs and renal function under normal and pathologic conditions.
