Parathyroid hormone- (PTH) stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in homogenates of rat renal cortex was inhibited by l-epinephrine. The specificity of the inhibition indicated that it was mediated by alpha 2-receptors. The inhibition of PTH-stimulated activity was greater than the inhibition of basal activity. The absolute decrease in adenylate cyclase activity produced by 10-4 M l-epinephrine was from 16.3 +/-0.6 (SE) to 11.2 +/- 0.6 pmol.min-1.mg-1 for activity stimulated by 10 microgram/ml PTH. Basal activity was decreased from 2.3 +/- 0.07 to 1.7 +/- 0.04. A similar inhibition of PTH-stimulated adenylate cyclase by l-epinephrine was demonstrated in preparations of renal cortical tubules. In contrast, the quantitative decrease in vasopressin-or calcitonin-stimulated activity by 10-4 M l-epinephrine was the same as the decrease in basal activity. These results demonstrate that PTH receptors that stimulated adenylate cyclase and alpha 2-adrenergic receptors that inhibit adenylate cyclase are present on the same cells in the renal tubules. Thus, a mechanism exists whereby alpha-adrenergic agonists can oppose the tubular actions of PTH via a direct inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity.

ABSTRACT Previous studies in other laboratories had indicated that some of the effects of parathyroid hormone on skeletal tissue and the renal tubule to influence ion metabolism can be produced by beta-adrenergic stimulation. Studies were carried out to determine whether the same adenylate cyclase system in rat renal cortex is activated by parathyroid hormone and isoproterenol. At maximal effective concentration of dose response, parathyroid hormone (2 × −5 m) increased adenylate cyclase activity by some 415 per cent, isoproterenol (10−6 m) increased activity by some 40 to 50 per cent, vasopressin (10−5 m) increased activity by some 96 per cent and porcine calcitonin (10−5 m) increased activity by some 92 per cent. Dl-propranolol (10−5 m), a beta-adrenergic receptor blocking agent, prevented the increase in enzyme activity produced by isoproterenol (10−6 m), did not diminish the increase in activity produced by parathyroid hormone (10−6 m) and did not influence basal adenylate cyclase activity by itself. The combined maximal concentrations of isoproterenol together with either parathyroid hormone, vasopressin or porcine calcitonin were additive. These results indicate that there is an adenylate cyclase system in rat renal cortex which can be activated by beta-adrenergic stimulation with isoproterenol, and is separate from the systems responsive to parathyroid hormone, vasopressin or calcitonin.
