Abstract1. The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of glucocorticoid dexamethasone on airway responsiveness to albuterol after intratracheal instillation of saline or IL-1β in Brown-Norway rats in vivo and to elucidate the molecular mechanism of this effect. 2. IL-1β caused a significant reduction in albuterol-mediated relaxation to protect against MCh-induced bronchoconstriction. Dexamethasone attenuated the IL-1β-induced impaired relaxation while alone had no effect when compared to rats treated identically with saline. 3. The density of β 2-adrenoceptors was significantly reduced in lung membranes harvested from IL-1β-treated rats, which was associated with impaired isoproterenol- and forskolin-stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation and adenylyl cyclase (AC) activity ex vivo. Dexamethasone did not prevent IL-1β-induced down-regulation of β 2-adrenoceptors but completely blocked IL-1β-induced impairment of cyclic AMP accumulation and AC activity stimulated by isoproterenol and forskolin. 4. The inhibitory G-protein subtypes, G iα1, G iα2 and G iα3, were detected in lung membranes prepared from all groups of rats but the intensity of G iα1 and G iα2 was markedly increased in IL-1β-treated rats, which were not prevented by dexamethasone. 5. The activity of cytosolic GRK and the expression of GRK2 and GRK5 were elevated in the lung of IL-1β-treated rats, which were completely abolished by dexamethasone. 6. These results indicate that treatment of rats with IL-1β results in desensitization of pulmonary β 2-adrenoceptors. In light of data obtained in this study, we propose that both the decrease in AC activity and the increase in GRK activity, which are reversed by dexamethasone, may underlie β 2-adrenoceptor desensitization.
