Human gallbladders with cholesterol stones (ChS) exhibit an impaired muscle contraction and relaxation and a lower CCK receptor-binding capacity compared with those with pigment stones (PS). This study was designed to determine whether there is an abnormal receptor-G protein coupling in human gallbladders with ChS using35S-labeled guanosine 5′-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) ([35S]GTPγS) binding,125I-labeled CCK-8 autoradiography, immunoblotting, and G protein quantitation. CCK and vasoactive intestinal peptide caused significant increases in [35S]GTPγS binding to Gαi-3and Gsα, respectively. The binding was lower in ChS than in PS (P< 0.01). The reduced [35S]GTPγS binding in ChS was normalized after the muscles were treated with cholesterol-free liposomes (P< 0.01). Autoradiography and immunoblots showed a decreased optical density (OD) for CCK receptors, an even lower OD value for receptor-G protein coupling, and a higher OD for uncoupled receptors or Gαi-3protein in ChS compared with PS (P< 0.001). G protein quantitation also showed that there were no significant differences in the Gαi-3and Gsα content in ChS and PS. We conclude that, in addition to an impaired CCK receptor-binding capacity, there is a defect in receptor-G protein coupling in muscle cells from gallbladder with ChS. These changes may be normalized after removal of excess cholesterol from the plasma membrane.
