We examined the basal adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) levels and forskolin-induced cAMP accumulation in cultured Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO) expressing different levels of human beta(2)-adrenoceptors. Both the basal and forskolin-induced cAMP accumulation in the cells that express higher density of beta(2)-adrenoceptors (CHO-beta(2)/H; 560 fmol/mg protein) were larger than those in the cells that express lower density of beta(2)-adrenoceptors (CHO-beta(2)/L; 270 fmol/mg protein). In addition, isoproterenol-induced cAMP accumulation was also augmented as the number of beta(2)-adrenoceptors was increased. ICI 118,551, a selective beta(2)-adrenoceptor antagonist with inverse agonist properties, decreased all the levels of cAMP observed in both cell lines. These results suggest that the agonist-independent (constitutive) activity of beta(2)-adrenoceptors plays a key role in the control of forskolin-induced cAMP accumulation.
