G protein activation produced by CB1 and CB2 receptors was instead quantified by uniquely antagonizing the GTP S binding produced by the CB1/CB2 full agonist HU 210 with the CB1 antagonist 0 C2050 or the CB2 antagonist SR 144528. In WT OE spinal cord membranes, activation of CB1/CB2 receptors by HU 210 produces 30. 7 6. 2 fmol/mg protein of GTP S binding to hdac2 inhibitor G proteins. Co incubation with the CB1 selective antagonist O 2050 almost completely prevents G protein pleasure by HU-210. Curiously, the CB2 selective antagonist SR 144528 also somewhat reduces HU-210 arousal by roughly 50,000-per. Gprotein activation is also reduced by co incubation of HU 210 with both antagonists concurrently by more than 907, as may have been expected. Collectively, these data indicate that the activation of G proteins made by HU 210 in WT OE spinal-cord membranes does occur primarily via activation of CB1 receptors. While the partial reduction of G protein excitement by HU-210 Cellular differentiation in the existence of the CB2 selective antagonist SR 144528 indicates that CB2 receptors may also participate, it is possible that the observed effects might be due to non selective blockade of CB1 receptors by the 3 mol/L attention of SR 144528 employed in the assay. In G93A back membranes, activation of CB1/CB2 receptors by HU-210 provides a notably larger increase in GTP S binding to G proteins relative to that particular seen in WT OE membranes. More over, in G93A membranes, co incubation of HU 210 with the CB1 selective antagonist E 2050 lowers G-protein arousal by only 46%, compared with near complete blockade in WT OE membranes. Importantly, even though the % restriction of HU 210 caused G protein activation by E 2050 in G93A membranes natural product library is half that observed in WT OE membranes, the web lowering of fmoles of activated G proteins by E 2050 is almost similar between membrane preparations. In other words, O 2050 paid down HU 210 caused G protein activation by 28. 3 fmol/mg protein in 25 and walls. 9 fmol/mg protein in G93A membranes. The CB2 particular villain SR 144528 also dramatically reduces HU-210 G protein pleasure in G93A membranes by 49%, to 29. 5 6. 4 fmol/mg protein. In contrast to that observed for CB1 receptors, the web lowering of fmoles of activated G proteins by SR 144528 is markedly different between membrane preparations. For example, G protein activation is reduced by SR 144528 by 15. 6 fmol/mg protein in WT OE filters and 27. 9 fmol/mg protein in G93A membranes. Really interestingly, although coincubation of HU 210 with both antagonists simultaneously reduces G protein activation to some level less than that obtained with either antagonist alone, an important level of HU 210 activated G proteins cannot be blocked under these conditions.
