SUMMARY: Glibenclamide is an antagonist of the ATP-modulated K+ channel in cardiac tissue. This study showed glibenclamide to bind to high (0.2 nM) and low (40 nM) affinity binding sites in canine ventricular membranes. Gpp[NH]p significantly altered the binding characteristics of the low affinity site, while those of the high affinity site were unchanged. This indicates independence of the two sites and suggests the low affinity site may be coupled to a Gbinding protein. Although we have identified two [3H]glibenclamide binding sites, the importance of these sites to the cardiac effects of glibenclamide remains to be determined. 0 1990Academic PESS,Inc.

In the present study, we report the existence of two [3H]glibenclamide binding sites in canine heart ventricular membranes.

atria and weighed. The ventricular tissue was then cut into small pieces and placed in ice-cold buffer solution (250 mM sucrose and 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4). The tissue was then homogenized four times in a blender at high speed for 20 set each. The homogenate was further homogenized by three treatments with a Brinkman Polytron for 10 set each at a speed setting of seven. The homogenate was then centrifuged at 1100 x g for 10 min. The resulting supernatant fraction was filtered through two layers of cheesecloth and then centrifuged at 12800 x g for 10 min. The supernatant fraction from this treatment was then centrifuged at 105000 x g for 35 min. The resulting pellet was resuspended in a small volume of buffer solution. The membrane preparations were rapidly frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -7O'C. Protein determinations were performed with Coomassie Protein Assay Reagent (Pierc Rockford, IL.) using bovine serum albumi as standard. ,f' HlGlibenclamide Bindinq Assavs. The [ Hlglibenclamide binding assays were performed in 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4) in a final volume of 0.5 ml. Each assay tube contained 250-500 ug of membrane protein and the desired concentration of [3H]glibenclamide (custom labeled by New England Nuclear, specific activity 50 Ci/mmole). The samples were incubated for 90 min at 22'C and then the reaction was terminated by dilution with 5 ml of ice-cold 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer and vacuum filtration on Whatman GF/C filters followed by quick washings of the filters three times with 5 ml of the same buffer. The filters were submerged in 5 ml scintillation fliud and the radioactivity was measured by liquid Scintillation spectroscopy. Specific binding of [3H]glibenclamide was defined as the amount of radioactivity displaced by 50 uM gliquidone, a structurally similar compound. Specific [3H]glibenclamide binding was proportional to protein content up to 1200 ug/ml. K and Bmax values were determined by the EBDA and LIGAND programs A 3,14). obtained from BoehringerMaterials.
