There is current evidence for 2 classes of hippocampal glucocorticoid receptors (GR); one classical, [3H]dexamethasone ([3H]Dex)-binding sites in glial cells, and the other [3H]corticosterone-preferring sites in neuronal cells. In the presence of 1 .mu.M of the synthetic glucocorticoid RU26988 (11.beta.,17.beta.-dihydroxy-17.alpha.-propynylandrost-1,4,6-trien-3-one) to exclude tracer from [3H]Dex sites, hippocampal cytosol from adrenalectomized/ovariectomized Sprague-Dawley rats binds [3H]Dex to sites (Kd at 4.degree. C, 0.77 .times. 10-9 M; 65 fmol/mg of protein) with the following order of specificity: aldosterone (Aldo) = 9.alpha.-fluorocortisol (9.alpha.F-cortisol) = deoxycorticosterone (DOC) = corticosterone > cortisol .mchgt. Dex; [3H]Aldo, [3H]DOC and [3H]corticosterone binding show identical specificity in the presence of RU2688. Addition of 1% adrenalectomized/ovariectomized rat plasma (but not plasma heated at 56.degree. C for 30 min) alters the specificity to: 9.alpha.F-cortisol .gtoreq. Aldo .gtoreq. DOC .mchgt. Dex .gtoreq. corticosterone .gtoreq. cortisol, consistent with sequestration of DOC, corticosterone and cortisol by transcortin and similar to classical mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) binding of [3H]Aldo in renal cytosol (9.alpha.F-cortisol .gtoreq. Aldo .gtoreq. DOC .mchgt. corticosterone .gtoreq. cortisol .gtoreq. Dex). Separation of other renal binders from transcortin by hydroxylapatite adsorption established the intrinsic specificity of [3H]Aldo binding to MR as: DOC .gtoreq. Aldo .gtoreq. 9.alpha.F-cortisol .gtoreq. cortiscosterone > cortisol .mchgt. Dex, parallel to that of the [3H]corticosterone-binding sites in hippocampus. Apparently hippocampal [3H]corticosterone-binding sites and renal MR may have identical intrinsic specificity for steroids, with apparent specificity differences the result of tissue-specific sequestration of naturally occurring steroids other than Aldo and an identical steroid-binding species may be occupied under physiological conditions by a mineralocorticoid in one tissue (kidney) and a glucocorticoid in another (hippocampus).
