Autoradiographic visualization of beta-adrenergic receptors in normal and denervated skeletal muscle

B Lavenstein, WK Engel, NB Reddy and S Carroll

Autoradiographic localization of beta-adrenergic receptors in rat skeletal muscle in vivo was achieved utilizing [125I]- iodohydroxybenzylpindolol, a potent beta-adrenergic blocker with high affinity and specificity for those receptors. In normal muscle the beta- adrenergic receptors were localized mainly to blood vessels, arterioles greater than venules, with much less concentration of grains over the fascicles of muscle fibers. One week after denervation there was an increase in binding both to blood vessels and muscle fibers, more so in soleus and gactrocnemius than in extensor digitorum longus. While these results parallel in vitro biochemical studies, they dictate caution when inferring cellular localization of beta-adrenergic receptors (and other molecules) solely on the basis of biochemical techniques applied to subcellular fractions of whole-organ homogenates.
