Reversible and irreversible labelling of H1- and H2 -receptors using novel [125I] probes
Abstract
We have recently designed the first 125I-labelled probes specific for the histamine H1 and H2 receptors. These reversible and irreversible antagonists are among the most potent H1 and H2 ligands and have enabled investigations into the biochemical and pharmacological properties of these two receptors. In various brain animal species, the ligand binding peptide of the H1 and H2 receptors, as determined by photoaffinity labeling, resides within 56-59 kDa peptides. In contrast, in guinea pig heart, the ligand binding domain of the H1 receptor is characterized by a higher molecular weight (68 kDa), suggesting the presence of an isoform of this protein, clearly differentiable by this biochemical property but not by its pharmacology. The reversible 125I-probes allowed us to extend the pharmacology of these receptors in several biological preparations and in human brain, and to establish their interaction with G-proteins. A detailed mapping of H1 and, for the first time, of H2 receptors, has been achieved in guinea pig brain, establishing their presence in almost all brain areas. These experiments show that there is no correlation between the density of H2 receptor and the activity of adenylate cyclase sensitive to histamine suggesting a molecular heterogeneity of this receptor.
