Abstract

We have determined the binding characteristics of [125 I]‐(Pyr 1)Apelin‐13, a putative ligand for the APJ orphan receptor in human cardiovascular and rat tissue and investigated the functional properties of (Pyr 1)Apelin‐13 in human saphenous vein. The binding of [125 I]‐(Pyr 1)Apelin‐13 to sections of human heart tissue was time dependent and rapid at 23°C. Data were fitted to a single site model with an association rate constant (k obs) of 0.115 min−1. [125 I]‐(Pyr 1)Apelin‐13 also dissociated from a single site with a dissociation rate constant of 0.0105 min−1. In saturation binding experiments [125 I]‐(Pyr 1)Apelin‐13 bound to human left ventricle with a KD value of 0.35±0.08 n M, B max of 4.3±0.9 fmol mg−1 protein with a Hill slope of 0.97±0.04 and to the right atria with a KD of 0.33±0.09 n M, B max of 3.1±0.6 fmol mg−1 protein and a Hill slope of 0.93±0.05. [125 I]‐(Pyr 1)Apelin‐13 binding sites were localized using autoradiography to human cardiovascular tissue, including coronary artery, aorta and saphenous vein grafts. In rat tissue a high density of receptors were localized to the molecular layer of the rat cerebellum, rat lung, rat heart and low levels in the rat kidney cortex. (Pyr 1)Apelin‐13 potently contracted human saphenous vein with a pD 2 value of 8.4±0.2 (n=8). The maximum response elicited by the peptide was 22.6±6% of 100 m M KCl. We provide the first evidence of APJ receptor expression, relative densities and functional properties of (Pyr 1)Apelin‐13 in human cardiovascular tissue.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
