摘要

Vasopressin receptors in distal segments of the rat nephron were identified in isolated tubules using two labeled ligands: the [1-(beta-mercapto-beta,beta-cyclopentamethylenepropionic acid), 2-(O-methyl)tyrosine,4-threonine,8-ornithine,9-125I-tyrosylamide]- vasotocin [125I-d(CH2)5[Tyr(Me)2,Thr4,Tyr-NH2(9)]OVT] and the linear analogue, Phaa1,D-Tyr(Me)2,Phe3,Gln4,Asn5,Arg6, Pro7,Arg8,125I-Tyr-NH2(9) [125I-Tyr-NH2(9)-linear antagonist (LA)-V1a)]. Specific 125I-d(CH2)5[Tyr(Me)2,Thr4,Tyr-NH2(9)]-OVT binding to cortical collecting ducts (CCD) was saturable with incubation time and dose, reversible after elimination of free ligand, and characterized by the following rank order for recognition of vasopressin analogues: desGly9-d-(CH2)5-[Tyr(Et)2,Val4]arginine vasopressin (AVP) greater than or equal to d(CH2)5[Tyr-(ET)2,Val4]AVP greater than or equal to AVP greater than or equal to d(CH2)5[Tyr(Me)2]AVP = 1-desamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin (DDAVP) greater than or equal to Tyr-NH2(9)-LA-V1a greater than [8-arginine]vasotocin (AVT) greater than d(CH2)5[Tyr(Me)2, Thr4,Tyr-NH2(9)]OVT greater than oxytocin (OT) greater than [Phe2,Orn8]VT much greater than [Thr4,Gly7]-OT. Scatchard plots of dose-dependent 125I-Tyr-NH2(9)-LA-V1a binding to medullary thick ascending limbs (MTAL), CCD, and outer medullary collecting ducts (OMCD) revealed the presence of high- and low-affinity binding sites corresponding to V1a and V2 vasopressin receptors, respectively; the densities of V1a receptors are approximately 20% of the total number of vasopressin receptors in CCD and 5% in MTAL and OMCD.
