Molecular identification of a dopamine D1b receptor in bovine retinal pigment epithelium.

Résumé

The rhythmic daytime inhibition of phagocytosis of shed photoreceptor outer segments (OS) by the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is related to increased cAMP in RPE cells. Dopamine (DA), the light-adaptive signal of the retinal oscillator can activate adenylyl cyclase through its D1-like receptors. It reduces OS phagocytosis by cultured bovine RPE, but a DA receptor was not demonstrated. Using primers selected from alignment of D1-like receptor genes already cloned, we have amplified by PCR two sequences in bovine genomic DNA. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that they correspond to D1a and D1b receptors. These receptors were then searched for using the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in cultured bovine RPE. Only the D1b receptor subtype was demonstrated. It could mediate the DA-induced inhibition of phagocytosis.
