The present study aims to define the role of postsynaptic density (PSD)-95 in the regulation of dopamine (DA) receptor function. We found that PSD-95 physically associates with either D(1) or D(2) DA receptors in co-transfected HEK-293 cells. Stimulation of DA receptors altered the association between D(1) receptor and PSD-95 in a time-dependent manner. Functional assays indicated that PSD-95 co-expression did not affect D(1) receptor-stimulated cAMP production, Gs-protein activation or receptor desensitization. However, PSD-95 accelerated the recovery of internalized membrane receptors by promoting receptor recycling, thus resulting in enhanced resensitization of internalized D(1) receptors. Our results provide a novel mechanism for regulating DA receptor recycling that may play an important role in postsynaptic DA functional modulation and synaptic neuroplasticity.
本研究旨在确定突触后致密蛋白95(PSD-95)在多巴胺(DA)受体功能调节中的作用。我们发现,在共转染的HEK-293细胞中,PSD-95与D1或D2 DA受体存在物理关联。刺激DA受体会以时间依赖性方式改变D1受体与PSD-95之间的关联。功能分析表明,PSD-95共表达不影响D1受体刺激的cAMP产生、Gs蛋白激活或受体脱敏。然而,PSD-95通过促进受体内吞循环加速内化膜受体的恢复,从而增强内化D1受体的再敏化。我们的结果提供了一种调节DA受体内吞循环的新机制,这可能在突触后DA功能调节和突触神经可塑性中起重要作用。
