Aim of the present study was to investigate possible differences between the human dopamine D4 receptor 48 bp polymorphism variants hD4.2, hDA. and hD4.7 in agonist stimulated [S-35]GTP gamma S binding, to investigate dopamine D4 receptor sodium sensitivity and to further characterize norepinephrine and epinephrine agonism at this receptor. G-protein activation at the receptor variants hD4.2, hD4.4 and hD4.7 expressed in CHO-K1 cells, following stimulation by dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine, was investigated using the [S-35]GTP gamma S assay at experimental conditions of 10 and 100 mM sodium, respectively. Dopamine displayed a 2 fold higher potency of stimulating [S-35]GTP gamma S binding at the hD4.2, compared to the hD4.4 and hD4.7 at 10 mM sodium. A significant difference in sodium sensitivity of basal [S-35]GTP gamma S binding was found, with the hD4.7 being 1.7 fold more sensitive than the hD4.4 and 2.5 fold more sensitive than the hD4.2. Norepinephrine and epinephrine both produced concentration-dependent increases in [S-35]GTP gamma S binding at all three receptor variants, and epinephrine showed only 2 fold less potency than dopamine. The present results are in certain line with previous reports of functional 2-3 fold differences between the dopamine D4 receptor variants. Agonism of norepinephrine and epinephrine at the dopamine D4 receptor may indicate an important way of cross-reactivity among the different monoamine neurotransmitter systems. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V.
