Ractopamine HCl is an beta-adrenergic receptor (betaAR) ligand that was recently approved for use in swine to enhance carcass leanness. The RR stereoisomer of ractopamine is the most active of the four stereoisomers exhibiting the highest affinity and signaling response. The RR isomer exhibits selective activation of the porcine beta2AR, which might limit the lipolytic response to ractopamine because the betaAR is the predominant subtype in swine adipocytes and may mediate most of the lipolytic response. Therefore, we determined the betaAR subtypes that mediate the lipolytic response to ractopamine in swine adipocytes. In order to confirm the predominant role of the beta1AR in porcine adipocytes, isoproterenol-stimulated lipolysis was inhibited by increasing doses of subtype-selective antagonists. Inhibition curves were biphasic using beta1AR antagonists (CGP 20712A and bisoprolol) and curve analysis indicated that both beta1AR an beta2AR contributed to lipolysis with 50 to 60% of the response coming from the beta1AR. Inhibition with the beta2AR antagonist clenbuterol revealed only one class of betaAR that closely approximated the kinetics of the beta1AR. When the RR isomer of ractopamine was the lipolytic agent, similar results to isoproterenol were observed, except that the estimated contribution of the beta1AR was 38%. That beta2AR antagonists did not detect a contribution of the beta2AR to lipolysis may indicate that the beta1AR masked the response to the beta2AR. Dose titration with the RR isomer in the presence of a saturating concentration of beta1AR or beta2AR antagonists indicated that each subtype was present in sufficient quantities to stimulate lipolysis near maximally. Data indicate that both the beta1AR and beta2AR are functionally linked to lipolysis in swine adipocytes and that ractopamine activates each subtype. The RR isomer of ractopamine stimulated adenosine 3',5'-cyclic phosphate accumulation with equal efficacy to isoproterenol through the cloned porcine beta2AR, but was only 35% as efficacious through the cloned porcine beta1AR. These data confirm the beta2AR selectivity of the RR stereoisomer, but suggest the partial agonism through the beta1AR is sufficient to activate lipolysis through both subtypes in swine adipocytes.
