Dexamethasone effects on beta-adrenergic receptors and adenylate cyclase regulatory proteins Gs and Gi in ROS 17/2.8 cells

SB Rodan and GA Rodan

Treatment of ROS 17/2.8 cells with dexamethasone (dex) increases (- )isoproterenol (ISO)-, PTH-, cholera toxin-, guanine nucleotide-, NaF-, and forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity. Enhanced hormone stimulation was first apparent 12 h after dex addition. (-)- [3H]Dihydroalprenolol binding, displaceable by ISO, increased up to 2- fold in dex-treated cells. This effect depended on protein synthesis and closely paralleled the extent and time course of the increase in adenylate cyclase stimulation. In dex-treated cells there was also an increase in the maximum velocity of guanyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate- stimulated adenylate cyclase, a decrease in the lag time for guanyl-5'- yl imidodiphosphate enzyme activation in the presence of ISO from 3 to 1 min, increased stimulation of adenylate cyclase by cholera toxin, and increased labeling of 47,000 and 42,000 mol wt proteins by [32P]NAD in the presence of cholera toxin. [32P]NAD ribosylation in the presence of pertussis toxin resulted in the labeling of 40,000 mol wt protein, which was also increased by 20-50% in dex-treated cells. However, pertussis toxin treatment did not augment or reduce the effect on hormone stimulation, although it increased the cAMP response to PTH and (-)ISO. These findings suggest that dex increases (-)ISO stimulation of adenylate cyclase in ROS 17/2.8 cells by jointly increasing the number of hormone receptors and the abundance of Gs, the guanine nucleotide binding regulatory protein.
