Adrenergic responses of rat hepatocytes were studied by measuring Ins(1,4,5)P3(for the response via alpha 1-subtype receptors) and cAMP (for beta-subtype response) generation during brief incubation of cells with respective agonists. Hepatocytes from young rats with an age of 1 week displayed a very high beta response without a significant alpha 1 response. The beta response decreased and the alpha 1 response increased progressively as the age increased; the response was almost exclusively via alpha 1 receptors in hepatocytes of adult rats 9 weeks or more old. The beta response developed, again at the expense of the alpha 1 response, in hepatocytes from adult rats during the primary culture at low cell densities [(1-2.5) x 10(4) cells/cm2]. Such "alpha 1 to beta subtype switching' of adrenergic responses in vitro was totally inhibited by adding plasma membranes prepared from adult rat liver into the low-cell-density culture, but not inhibited at all by membranes from young rat liver. The inhibitory effect of adult rat liver membranes was lost when the membranes had been exposed to endoglycosidase F or beta-galactosidase but was not affected by prior treatment with sialidase. On the contrary, young rat liver membranes became inhibitory to "alpha 1 to beta subtype switching' after prior treatment with sialidase. Thus glycoproteins with unsialylated galactosyl termini on the surface of adult rat hepatocytes are likely to function as a determinant of the relative development of alpha 1/beta subtypes of adrenergic responses; the beta response is predominant in hepatocytes in the juvenile, presumably as a result of sialylation of the galactosyl termini of the functional glycoproteins.
