The ability of adrenergic stimulation to affect the rate of DNA synthesis in mouse brown adipocyte precursor cells proliferating in primary culture was investigated. Addition of 1 microM norepinephrine to the cells at day 4 in culture (proliferating cells) significantly increased the rate of DNA synthesis, whereas no significant effect was seen at day 9 (confluent cells). The effect of norepinephrine could be mimicked by forskolin, cholera toxin, and by cAMP analogues. Specific [3H]thymidine incorporation (per unit of DNA) was reduced by norepinephrine stimulation, indicating saturation of the salvage pathway for dTTP synthesis already in unstimulated cells and implying a beta-adrenergic stimulation of dTTP synthesis. Pharmacological characterization of this effect indicated it was mediated by beta 1 receptors, with alpha 2 receptors exerting an opposing effect. Notably, the stimulation of DNA synthesis was not observed with the beta 3-specific agonist CGP-12177. In contrast, both norepinephrine and CGP-12177 were able to induce the expression of the uncoupling protein thermogenin in the confluent cultured cells. This coincided with a shift in the cAMP-elevating potential of CGP-12177, from being antagonistic to norepinephrine stimulation in proliferating cells to being itself a full agonist in confluent cells, implying occurrence of coupled beta 3 receptors as part of the differentiation process. It was concluded that brown fat precursor cells respond directly to norepinephrine stimulation with an increased DNA synthesis, and that this response is mediated via the classical beta 1 receptors. This probably represents the cellular basis for the hyperplasia observed in the tissue in physiologically recruited states.
