To study the relationship of changes in human lymphocyte beta-adrenoceptors to changes potentially occurring in solid tissues we studied 16 patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass grafting and determined the density of lymphocyte beta 2-adrenoceptors [by (-)125I-iodocyanopindolol (ICYP) binding] in comparison to beta-adrenoceptor density and responsiveness (contractile responses to isoprenaline) in the corresponding right atria. Lymphocyte beta 2-adrenoceptor density (with a range of 278-2442 ICYP binding sites/cell) was significantly correlated with beta-adrenoceptor density in the corresponding atria (54.8-171.6 fmol ICYP bound/mg protein, r = 0.784, P less than 0.001). In these atria the levels of beta 1- and beta 2-adrenoceptors (assessed by non-linear regression analysis of competition curves of the selective beta 2-adrenoceptor antagonist ICI 188,551 with ICYP binding) were approximately .70 and 30%, respectively. Lymphocyte beta 2-adrenoceptor density, however, correlated significantly better with atrial beta 2-adrenoceptor (r = 0.8441; P less than 0.001) than beta 1-adrenoceptor (r = 0.6226, P less than 0.05) density. On 12 of the 16 atria (electrically driven with 1 Hz at 37 degrees C) isoprenaline (10(-9) to 3 X 10(-6) mol/l) caused positive inotropic effects. The maximum increase in contractile force evoked by saturating concentrations of isoprenaline (mean: 3.52 +/- 0.62 mN), however, correlated equally well with beta 1- and beta 2-adrenoceptor density in the corresponding atria (r = 0.6834 and 0.6567, respectively). These results indicate that changes in lymphocyte beta 2-adrenoceptors can be taken as a precise index of changes of beta 2-adrenoceptors in other (solid) tissues; beta 1-adrenoceptor alterations, however, are only poorly reflected in the lymphocytes.
