  2. Cannabinoid Receptor Subtypes • CB1 • Found in neuronal cells and brain; other non-innervated tissue? • Regulates neurotransmitter release • CB1(A) • Splice variant mRNA found in human brain, but not predicted in rodent gene (Sanofi Recherche) • Similar pharmacology and signal transduction as CB1 • CB2 • Found in immune tissue (B cells, macrophages, T cells) • Activity not fully characterized • CB?? or CB? • ? Antinociceptive effects of anandamide inCB1 (-/-) mice (Martin) • ? Vascular effects of anandamide not reproduced by other agonists (Kunos)

  29. ` • Signal transduction pathways will depend upon the G-proteins and effector pathways present in the cell. • Domain specificity for G-proteins suggests that induction or selection of different conformations of the CB1 receptor can direct selective signal transduction pathways. • CB1 receptor signaling through a given pathway may be directed by agonist-specific conformational changes in the receptor.

  30. Prospectus • Few CB receptor subtypes limits use of pharmacophoric distinctions in ligand affinities to separate therapeutic from untoward effects. • Can we develop agonists that induce receptor conformations that activate specific G proteins ? • Manipulation of G protein coupling may promote signal transduction pathways limited to cell types that regulate therapeutic responses.
