AbstractUsing 2[125I]iodomelatonin as the radioligand, we characterized 2[125I]iodomelatonin binding sites in guinea pig platelet membrane preparations. Saturation radioreceptor studies indicated that these 2[125I]iodomelatonin binding sites were of picomolar affinity and femtomolar density. The dissociation constant (Kd) and maximum number of receptor sites (Bmax) were 42.5 ± 1.79 pM and 11.8 ± 0.8 fmol/mg protein (n = 6), respectively. 2[125I]Iodomelatonin competition studies with indoles or drugs indicate the following rank order of potency: 2-iodomelatonin > melatonin ≥ 6-chloromelatonin > 6-hydroxymelatonin > N-acetylserotonin > 5-methoxytryptophol, whereas serotonin and its analogs had less than 20% inhibition at 0.1 mM, Guanosine 5′-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) significantly increased the Kd by twofold suggesting that these binding sites are coupled to the guanine nucleotide binding proteins. Immunoblotting studies using anti-MT1 IgG demonstrated one peptide blockable band with an apparent molecular mass of 37 kDa. Melatonin had no effect on prostacyclin or forskolin-stimulated intracellular 3′,5′-cyclic adenosine monophosphate accumulation. A diurnal variation in binding density, which was abolished after the animals were adapted to constant light conditions, was observed, Age related studies demonstrated that Bmax increased as the animal matured. Physiological melatonin concentrations potentiated whereas those at pharmacological levels inhibited adenosine diphosphate- or arachidonic acid-stimulated platelet aggregation. Our study demonstrated G-protein coupled, saturable, reversible and highly specific picomolar affinity 2[125I]iodomelatonin binding sites in guinea pig platelets. Pharmocological and physiological data indicate that they may be different from the nanomolar [3H]melatonin binding sites in human platelets previously reported.
