  • Identification Ofa D1 Dopamine Receptor, Not Linked To
    Br. J. Pharmacol. (1991), 103, 1928-1934 11--" Macmillan Press Ltd, 1991 Identification of a D1 dopamine receptor, not linked to adenylate cyclase, on lactotroph cells 'Danny F. Schoors, *Georges P. Vauquelin, *Hilde De Vos, fGerda Smets, Brigitte Velkeniers, Luc Vanhaelst & Alain G. Dupont Department of Pharmacology, Medical School, Vrije Universiteit Brussel (V.U.B.), Laarbeeklaan 103, B-1090, Brussels, Belgium; *Protein Chemistry Laboratory, Instituut voor Moleculaire Biologie, V.U.B., Paardenstraat 65, St-Genesius-Rode, Belgium and tDepartment of Experimental Pathology, Medical School, V.U.B., Laarbeeklaan 103, B-1090, Brussels, Belgium 1 We studied the lactotroph cells of the rat by both in vivo and in vitro pharmacological techniques for the presence of D1-receptors. Both approaches revealed the presence of a D2-receptor, stimulated by quinpirole (resulting in an inhibition of prolactin secretion) and blocked by domperidone. 2 Administration of fenoldopam, the most selective Dl-receptor agonist currently available, resulted in a dose-dependent decrease of prolactin secretion in vivo (after pretreatment with a-methyl-p-tyrosine) and in vitro (cultured pituitary cells). This increase was dose-dependently blocked by the selective D1-receptor antagonist, SCH 23390, and although the effect of fenoldopam was less than that obtained by D2-receptor stimulation, these data suggest that a D,-receptor also controls prolactin secretion. 3 In order to detect the location of these dopamine receptors, autoradiographic studies were performed by use of [3H]-SCH 23390 and [3H]-spiperone as markers for D1- and D2-receptors, respectively. Specific binding sites for [3H]-SCH 23390 were demonstrated. Fenoldopam dose-dependently reduced [3H]-SCH 23390 binding, but had no effect on [3H]-spiperone binding.
