The sympathetic nervous system plays an important role in the regulation of blood pressure. There is increasing evidence for positive and negative interactions between dopamine and adrenergic receptors; the activation of the alpha-adrenergic receptor induces vasoconstriction, whereas the activation of dopamine receptor induces vasorelaxation. We hypothesize that the D-1-like receptor and/or D-3 receptor also inhibit alpha(1)-adrenergic receptor-mediated proliferation in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). In this study, VSMC proliferation was determined by measuring [H-3] thymidine incorporation, cell number, and uptake of 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT). Norepinephrine increased VSMC number and MTT uptake, as well as [3H] thymidine incorporation via the alpha(1)-adrenergic receptor in aortic VSMCs from Sprague-Dawley rats. The proliferative effects of norepinephrine were attenuated by the activation of D-1-like receptors or D-3 receptors, although a D-1-like receptor agonist, fenoldopam, and a D-3 receptor agonist, PD-128907, by themselves, at low concentrations, had no effect on VSMC proliferation. Simultaneous stimulation of both D-1-like and D-3 receptors had an additive inhibitory effect. The inhibitory effect of D-3 receptor was via protein kinase A, whereas the D-1-like receptor effect was via protein kinase C-zeta. The interaction between alpha(1)-adrenergic and dopamine receptors, especially D-1-like and D-3 receptors in VSMCs, could be involved in the pathogenesis of hypertension.
