We recently reported that specific [I]human Adrenomedullin13-52 (hADM13-52) binding sites are very discretely distributed in the rat brain[1]. Furthermore, in rat brain membrane homogenates, we suggested the existence of at least two populations of [I]hADM13-52 receptor binding sites[2]. In the present study, we investigated the differential distribution of specific [I]hADM1352 sites that are sensitive and insensitive to hADM22-52 in the rat brain. Adjacent coronal rat brain sections were incubated with 35 pM [I]hADM13-52 in the presence of increasing concentrations of hADM22-52. As previously reported, specific [I]hADM13-52 sites were observed in the choroid and linings of ventricles, basal amygdaloid nucleus, neuronal lobe of the pituitary gland, trigeminal nucleus, and cerebellum. Specific [I]hADM13-52 binding is fully inhibited by 1 μM hADM22-52 in all these brain regions except in the cerebellum. In fact, hADM22-52 was able to inhibit only 70% of specific [I]hADM13-52 binding sites in the rat cerebellum. These data suggest for the first time that the rat cerebellum contains at least two populations of ADM receptors, one that is sensitive to hADM22-52 while the other is resistant. This characterization of cerebellar [I]hADM13-52 / hADM22-52 -insensitive sites is currently under investigation. Supported by grant from the CIHR to RQ.
