Abstract—The ability of dopamine₁ (D₁) receptors to inhibit luminal Na⁺-H⁺ exchanger (NHE) activity in renal proximal tubules and induce a natriuresis is impaired in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). However, it is not clear whether the defect is at the level of the D₁ receptor, G_s, or effector proteins. The coupling of the D₁ receptor to G_s and NHE3 was studied in renal brush border membranes (BBM), devoid of cytoplasmic second messengers. D₁ receptor, G_s, and NHE3 expressions were similar in SHR and their normotensive controls, Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY). Guanosine-5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTPS) decreased NHE activity and increased NHE3 linked with G_s similarly in WKY and SHR, indicating normal G_s and NHE3 regulation in SHR. However, D₁ agonists increased NHE3 linked with G_s in WKY but not in SHR, and the inhibitory effects of D₁ agonists on NHE activity were less in SHR than in WKY. Moreover, GTPS enhanced the inhibitory effect of D₁ agonist on NHE activity in WKY but not in SHR, suggesting an uncoupling of the D₁ receptor from G_s/NHE3 in SHR. Similar results were obtained with the use of immortalized renal proximal tubule cells from WKY and SHR. We conclude that the defective D₁ receptor function in renal proximal tubules in SHR is proximal to G_s/effectors and presumably at the receptor level. The mechanism(s) responsible for the uncoupling of the D₁ receptor from G proteins remains to be determined. Because the primary structure of the D₁ receptor is not different between normotensive and hypertensive rats, differences in D₁ receptor posttranslational modification are possible.
