Beta 3-adrenergic receptors mediate choroidal endothelial cell invasion, proliferation, and cell elongation
Abstract
Beta(3)-adrenergic receptors have been reported to function primarily in adipose tissues to regulate thermogenesis. In this study, we determined if beta-adrenergic receptors are present on human choroidal endothelial cells and examined their ability to promote invasion, proliferation, and/or cell elongation. Using western blotting techniques and assays of cell invasion, cell proliferation, and endothelial cell elongation, we were able to determine that human choroidal endothelial cells do possess all three subtypes of beta-adrenergic receptors. Stimulation of the beta(3)-adrenergic receptor with BRL37344, a specific beta(3)-adrenergic receptor agonist, resulted in phosphorylation of Src, Akt, and ERK1/2. BRL37344 treatment also increased choroidal endothelial cell invasion by 103% above control values; the invasion response was inhibited by PP2 (Src inhibitor), LY294002 (PI3K inhibitor), Akt inhibitor (Akt-I), and matrix metalloproteinase 2/9 inhibitor (MMP-I). Invasion was not affected by PD98059 (mek inhibitor) or KT5823 (protein kinase G inhibitor). BRL37344 produced a significant increase in the total elongation of choroidal endothelial cells formed on Matrigel over a 24hr period. BRL37344 did significantly increase proliferation, although not to the same level as invasion. Stimulation of choroidal endothelial cells with dobutamine to activate beta(1)/beta(2)-adrenergic receptors did not affect invasion, proliferation, or endothelial cell elongation. In conclusion, beta(3)-adrenergic receptors may play a role in choroidal endothelial cell invasion and elongation, while playing a more limited function in regulation of cell proliferation.
