Abstract
The Concise Guide to PHARMACOLOGY 2013/14 provides concise overviews of the key properties of over 2000 human drug targets with their pharmacology, plus links to an open access knowledgebase of drug targets and their ligands (www.guidetopharmacology.org), which provides more detailed views of target and ligand properties. The full contents can be found at http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/bph.12444/full. G protein-coupled receptors are one of the seven major pharmacological targets into which the Guide is divided, with the others being G protein-coupled receptors, ligand-gated ion channels, ion channels, catalytic receptors, nuclear hormone receptors, transporters and enzymes. These are presented with nomenclature guidance and summary information on the best available pharmacological tools, alongside key references and suggestions for further reading. A new landscape format has easy to use tables comparing related targets. It is a condensed version of material contemporary to late 2013, which is presented in greater detail and constantly updated on the website www.guidetopharmacology.org, superseding data presented in previous Guides to Receptors and Channels. It is produced in conjunction with NC-IUPHAR and provides the official IUPHAR classification and nomenclature for human drug targets, where appropriate. It consolidates information previously curated and displayed separately in IUPHAR-DB and the Guide to Receptors and Channels, providing a permanent, citable, point-in-time record that will survive database updates.

Abstract
Herein we provide evidence for the coexpression of two distinct prostacyclin (PGI(2)) receptors (IP) on BEAS-2B human airway epithelial cells. IP receptor heterogeneity initially was suggested by the finding that the rank orders of potency of PGI(2) and three structurally similar analogs [taprostene, iloprost, 15-deoxy-16-(m-tolyl)-17,18,19,20-tetranorisocarbacyclin (15-deoxy-TIC)] for the inhibition of chemokine (CXCL9 and CXCL10) release and for transcriptional activation/augmentation of cAMP response element and glucocorticoid response element luciferase reporters were distinct. Indeed, PGI(2), taprostene, and iloprost activated both reporters whereas 15-deoxy-TIC was inert. Conversely, 15-deoxy-TIC, PGI(2), and taprostene (but not iloprost) suppressed chemokine release. Further experiments established that iloprost did not antagonize the inhibitory effect taprostene or 15-deoxy-TIC on chemokine output. Likewise, 15-deoxy-TIC failed to antagonize taprostene- and iloprost-induced reporter transactivation. Thus, iloprost- and 15-deoxy-TIC-induced responses were apparently mediated via pharmacologically distinct receptors. In human embryonic kidney 293 cells overexpressing the human recombinant IP receptor receptor, 15-deoxy-TIC was considerably less potent (>10,000-fold) than iloprost and taprostene in promoting cAMP accumulation, yet in BEAS-2B cells, these analogs were equipotent. IP receptor heterogeneity was also supported by the finding that the affinity of the IP receptor antagonist R-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-[5-(4-fluorophenyl)-benzofuran-2-yl-methoxycarbonyl-amino] propionic acid (RO3244794) for the receptor mediating inhibition of chemokine release was approximately 10-fold lower than for the receptor mediating both transcriptional outputs. Finally, small interfering RNAs directed against the IP receptor gene, PTGIR, failed to block the suppression of chemokine output induced by taprostene and 15-deoxy-TIC, whereas taprostene- and iloprost-induced transcriptional responses were markedly attenuated. Collectively, these results indicate that PGI(2), taprostene and 15-deoxy-TIC suppress chemokine release from BEAS-2B cells by interacting with a novel IP receptor that we denote here as the "IP(2)" subtype.

Abstract
Prostacyclin is one of a number of lipid mediators elaborated from the metabolism of arachidonic acid by the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes. This prostanoid is a potent inhibitor of platelet aggregation, and its production by endothelial cells and protective role in the vasculature are well established. In contrast, much less is known regarding the function of this prostanoid in other disease processes. We show here that COX-2-dependent production of prostacyclin plays an important role in the development of fibrotic lung disease, limiting both the development of fibrosis and the consequential alterations in lung mechanics. In stark contrast, loss of prostaglandin E(2) synthesis and signaling through the G(s)-coupled EP2 and EP4 receptors had no effect on the development of disease. These findings suggest that prostacyclin analogs will protect against bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in COX-2(-/-) mice. If such protection is observed, investigation of these agents as a novel therapeutic approach to pulmonary fibrosis in humans may be warranted.

Abstract
1. Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells were transiently transfected with the mouse prostacyclin (mIP) receptor to examine IP agonist-mediated stimulation of [(3)H]-cyclic AMP and [(3)H]-inositol phosphate production. 2. The prostacyclin analogues, cicaprost, iloprost, carbacyclin and prostaglandin E(1), stimulated adenylyl cyclase activity with EC(50) values of 5, 6, 25 and 95 nM, respectively. These IP agonists also stimulated the phospholipase C pathway with 10 - 40 fold lower potency than stimulation of adenylyl cyclase. 3. The non-prostanoid prostacyclin mimetics, octimibate, BMY 42393 and BMY 45778, also stimulated adenylyl cyclase activity, with EC(50) values of 219, 166 and 398 nM, respectively, but failed to stimulate [(3)H]-inositol phosphate production. 4. Octimibate, BMY 42393 and BMY 45778 inhibited iloprost-stimulated [(3)H]-inositol phosphate production in a non-competitive manner. 5. Activation of the endogenously-expressed P(2) purinergic receptor by ATP led to an increase in [(3)H]-inositol phosphate production which was inhibited by the non-prostanoid prostacyclin mimetics in non-transfected CHO cells. Prostacyclin analogues and other prostanoid receptor ligands failed to inhibit ATP-stimulated [(3)H]-inositol phosphate production. 6. A comparison between the IP receptor-specific non-prostanoid ONO-1310 and the structurally-related EP(3) receptor-specific agonist ONO-AP-324, indicated that the inhibitory effect of non-prostanoids was specific for those compounds known to activate IP receptors. 7. The non-prostanoid prostacyclin mimetics also inhibited phospholipase C activity when stimulated by constitutively-active mutant Galpha(q)RC, Galpha(14)RC and Galpha(16)QL transiently expressed in CHO cells. These drugs did not inhibit adenylyl cyclase activity when stimulated by the constitutively-active mutant Galpha(s)QL. 8. These results suggest that non-prostanoid prostacyclin mimetics can specifically inhibit [(3)H]-inositol phosphate production by targeting G(q/11) and/or phospholipase C in CHO cells, and that this effect is independent of IP receptors.

Abstract
The essential role of CCAAT/enhancer binding proteins (C/EBPs) beta and delta for adipocyte differentiation has been clearly established. In preadipocytes, their expression is up-regulated by the activation of leukemia inhibitory factor receptor (LIF-R) and prostacyclin receptor (IP-R) via the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway and cAMP production, respectively. However, the molecular mechanisms by which LIF and prostacyclin-induced signals are propagated to the nucleus and the transcription factors mediating ERK and cAMP-induced C/EBP gene expression were unknown. Here we report that both pathways share cAMP responsive element binding protein/activation transcription factor 1 (CREB/ATF-1) as common downstream effectors. LIF-R and IP-R activation induced binding of CREB and/or ATF-1 to C/EBP promoters and CREB-dependent transcription. Expression of dominant negative forms of CREB dramatically reduced the LIF- and prostacyclin-stimulated C/EBP beta and C/EBP delta expression. Upon stimulation of the IP-R, the ERK pathway was activated in a PKA-dependent manner. ERK activation by the PKA pathway was not required for CREB/ATF-1 phosphorylation but rather was necessary for CREB-dependent up-regulation of C/EBPs expression. Our findings suggest that ERK activation is required for CREB transcriptional activity, possibly by recruitment of a coactivator.

Abstract
Cyclooxygenases metabolize arachidonate to five primary prostanoids: PGE(2), PGF(2 alpha), PGI(2), TxA(2), and PGD(2). These autacrine lipid mediators interact with specific members of a family of distinct G-protein-coupled prostanoid receptors, designated EP, FP, IP, TP, and DP, respectively. Each of these receptors has been cloned, expressed, and characterized. This family of eight prostanoid receptor complementary DNAs encodes seven transmembrane proteins which are typical of G-protein-coupled receptors and these receptors are distinguished by their ligand-binding profiles and the signal transduction pathways activated on ligand binding. Ligand-binding selectivity of these receptors is determined by both the transmembrane sequences and amino acid residues in the putative extracellular-loop regions. The selectivity of interaction between the receptors and G proteins appears to be mediated at least in part by the C-terminal tail region. Each of the EP(1), EP(3), FP, and TP receptors has alternative splice variants described that alter the coding sequence in the C-terminal intracellular tail region. The C-terminal variants modulate signal transduction, phosphorylation, and desensitization of these receptors, as well as altering agonist-independent constitutive activity.

Abstract
Replacement of the carboxylic acid group of PGF(2alpha) with the non-acidic substituents hydroxyl (-OH) or methoxy (-OCH(3)) resulted in an unexpected activity profile. Although PGF(2alpha) 1-OH and PGF(2alpha) 1-OCH(3) exhibited potent contractile effects similar to 17-phenyl PGF(2alpha) in the cat lung parenchymal preparation, they were approximately 1000 times less potent than 17-phenyl PGF(2alpha) in stimulating recombinant feline and human FP receptors. In human dermal fibroblasts and Swiss 3T3 cells PGF(2alpha) 1-OH and PGF(2alpha) 1-OCH(3) produced no Ca(2+) signal until a 1 microM concentration was exceeded. Pretreatment of Swiss 3T3 cells with either 1 microM PGF(2alpha) 1-OH or PGF(2alpha) 1-OCH(3) did not attenuate Ca(2+) signal responses produced by PGF(2alpha) or fluprostenol. In the rat uterus, PGF(2alpha) 1-OH was about two orders of magnitude less potent than 17-phenyl PGF(2alpha) whereas PGF(2alpha) 1-OCH(3) produced only a minimal effect. Radioligand binding studies on cat lung parenchymal plasma membrane preparations suggested that the cat lung parenchyma does not contain a homogeneous population of receptors that equally respond to PGF(2alpha)1-OH, PGF(2alpha)1-OCH(3), and classical FP receptor agonists. Studies on smooth muscle preparations and cells containing DP, EP(1), EP(2), EP(3), EP(4), IP, and TP receptors indicated that the activity of PGF(2alpha) 1-OH and PGF(2alpha) 1-OCH(3) could not be ascribed to interaction with these receptors. The potent effects of PGF(2alpha) 1-OH and PGF(2alpha) 1-OCH(3) on the cat lung parenchyma are difficult to describe in terms of interaction with the FP or any other known prostanoid receptor.

Abstract
The spontaneous activity of the rat isolated colon is suppressed by prostacyclin analogues such as cicaprost (IC(50)=4.0 nM). Activation of prostanoid IP(1)-receptors located on NANC inhibitory neurones is involved. However, several non-prostanoids, which show medium to high IP(1) agonist potency on platelet and vascular preparations, exhibit very weak inhibitory activity on the colon. The aim of the study was to investigate this discrepancy. Firstly, we have demonstrated the very high depolarizing potency of cicaprost on the rat isolated vagus nerve (EC(50)=0.23 nM). Iloprost, taprostene and carbacyclin were 7.9, 66, and 81 fold less potent than cicaprost, indicating the presence of IP(1) as opposed to IP(2)-receptors. Three non-prostanoid prostacyclin mimetics, BMY 45778, BMY 42393 and ONO-1301, although much less potent than cicaprost (195, 990 and 1660 fold respectively), behaved as full agonists on the vagus nerve. On re-investigating the rat colon, we found that BMY 45778 (0.1 - 3 microM), BMY 42393 (3 microM) and ONO-1301 (3 microM) behaved as specific IP(1) partial agonists, but their actions required 30 - 60 min to reach steady-state and only slowly reversed on washing. This profile contrasted sharply with the rapid and readily reversible contractions elicited by a related non-prostanoid ONO-AP-324, which is an EP(3)-receptor agonist. The full versus partial agonism of the non-prostanoid prostacyclin mimetics may be explained by the markedly different IP(1) agonist sensitivities of the two rat neuronal preparations. However, the slow kinetics of the non-prostanoids on the NANC system of the colon remain unexplained, and must be taken into account when characterizing neuronal IP-receptors.

Abstract
1. Iloprost and cicaprost (IP-receptor agonists) induced relaxations in the histamine- (50 microM) contracted human bronchial preparations (pD2 values, 6.63+/-0.12 and 6.86+/-0.08; Emax values, 90+/-04 and 65+/-08% of the papaverine response for iloprost (n=6) and cicaprost (n=3), respectively). 2. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and misoprostol (EP-receptor agonist) relaxed the histamine-contracted human bronchial preparations (pD2 values, 7.13+/-0.07 and 6.33+/-0.28; Emax values, 67+/-04 and 57+/-08% of the papaverine response for PGE2 (n=14) and misoprostol (n=4), respectively). In addition, both relaxations were inhibited by AH6809 (DP/EP1/EP2-receptor antagonist; 3 microM; n=5-6). 3. The PGE2-induced relaxations of human bronchial preparations were not modified by treatment with AH23848B (TP/EP4-receptor antagonist; 30 microM; n=4). 4. The contracted human bronchial preparations were significantly relaxed by prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) or by BW245C a DP-receptor agonist. However, these responses did not exceed 40% of the relaxation induced by papaverine. In addition, the relaxations induced by PGD2 were significantly inhibited by treatment with a DP-receptor antagonist BWA868C (0.1 microM; n=3). 5. These data suggest that the relaxation of human isolated bronchial preparations induced by prostanoids involved IP-, EP2- and to a lesser extent DP-receptors but not EP4-receptor.

Abstract
[3-[4-(4,5-diphenyl-2-oxazolyl)-5-oxazolyl]phenoxy]acetic acid (BMY 45778) inhibits human (IC50 = 35 nM), rabbit (136 nM) and rat (1.3 microM) platelet aggregation. This compound activates adenylyl cyclase (ED50 = 6-10 nM) and stimulates GTPase in human platelet membrane preparations. The potency (EC50) of BMY 45778 stimulating adenylyl cyclase is comparable to iloprost. However, maximal stimulation of GTPase by BMY 45778 is approximately half the iloprost-stimulated activity, and BMY 45778 limits the GTPase stimulation by iloprost suggesting that BMY 45778 is a partial agonist at the IP receptor. BMY 45778 completely prevents [3H]]Iloprost binding to platelet membranes (IC50 = 7 nM). In whole platelets, BMY 45778 causes elevation of platelet cAMP levels (cAMP content doubles at 13 nM) and activation of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cAMP-protein kinase ratio is twice basal at 2 nM). BMY 45778 treatment of whole platelets also desensitizes the adenylyl cyclase activation by iloprost. These results indicate that BMY 45778, which is structurally different from prostacyclin and most prostacyclin agonists, acts by stimulating prostacyclin (IP) receptors.

Abstract
The effects of three non-prostanoid prostacyclin mimetics on rat peritoneal neutrophil activity have been investigated and compared with the effects of the prostacyclin analogues cicaprost and iloprost. Cicaprost, iloprost, BMY 22389 (octimibate), BMY 42393 and BMY 45778 inhibited N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP)-stimulated neutrophil aggregation with IC50 values of 2.1, 4.5, 286, 462 and 20 nM, respectively. Cicaprost and iloprost produced clear concentration-related increases in [3H]cyclic AMP accumulation; EC50 values were 20 and 44 nM, respectively. In contrast, the three BMY compounds showed low efficacy as activators of adenylyl cyclase. The inhibitory effect of prostacyclin mimetics does not appear to depend on effects on intracellular calcium concentration, or on KATP channels. Extensive studies using cyclic AMP mimetics and antagonists suggest that the anti-aggregatory activity of the non-prostanoid prostacyclin mimetics on rat neutrophils may involve highly localized increases in cyclic AMP.
