A microradioimmunoassay for cAMP was developed to analyze the effects of .alpha.-adrenergic agonists on vasopressin (AVP)-induced cAMP cell accumulation in single pieces of microdissected medullary (MCT) and cortical (CCT) rat collecting tubules. Under the experimental conditions chosen (4 min of incubation in the presence of a phosphodiesterase inhibitor), no cAMP could be detected either in the bathing solutionor in non-stimulating samples of tubule. In MCT, 10-6 M AVP stimulated cAMP generation up to 128.3 .+-. 9.0 (SEM [standrd error of the mean]) fmol/mm of tubule per 4 min, N = 11. The response was dose-dependent with a Ka value below 10-10 M AVP. The addition of norepinephrine (NE) (10-5 M in the presence of propranolol suppressed the larger part of the response to AVP (from 92% with 2 .times. 10-11 M AVP to 76% with 10-6 M AVP); the addition of 10-7 M NE still reduced by 59% the MCT response to 10-10 M AVP (26.2 .+-. 5.9 vs. 64.0 .+-. 6.4 fmol/mm, N = 3). In CCT, 10-5 M NE reduced by 84% the cAMP generation induced by 10-10 M AVP (8.8 .+-. 2.0 vs. 54.2 .+-. 3.5 fmol/mm, N = 3). This inhibitory action of NE against the AVP effect in CCT was mimicked by 10-7 M clonidine; in MCT it was suppressed by phentolamine and yohimbine, but not by prazosin, suggesting that .alpha.2-adrenoceptors are involved. The addition of the .alpha.-agonists to the incubation solution produced no inhibition of the cAMP cell accumulations induced by glucagon, calcitonin and isoproterenol in CCT, or glucagon in MCT, an observation demonstrating that .alpha.2-adrenergic agonists selectively inhibit vasopressin-dependent cAMP generation by these nephron segments.
