Agonist-Induced Internalization of the P2Y2 Receptor

Susan M. Sromek and T. Kendall Harden

Department of Pharmacology and Curriculum in Neurobiology, University of North Carolina School of Medicine, Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27599

The Gq/phospholipase C-linked human P2Y2 receptor was tagged at its amino terminus with the hemagglutinin A (HA) epitope sequence (P2Y2-HA) and stably expressed in 1321N1 human astrocytoma cells. Neither the pharmacological selectivity nor the signaling properties of the receptor were altered by the presence of the epitope. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was developed to quantify cell surface levels of P2Y2-HA receptors using an anti-HA antibody. Incubation of cells with P2Y2 receptor agonists resulted in a concentration of agonist- and time-dependent decrease in cell surface immunoreactivity. Methodology for indirect immunofluorescence confocal microscopy was developed and applied to demonstrate that the agonist-promoted decreases in cell surface immunoreactivity paralleled increases in intracellular immunoreactivity. Agonist-induced internalization of P2Y2 receptors was demonstrated directly by prelabeling P2Y2-HA receptors with antibody before agonist challenge and then quantifying the movement of receptors from a cell surface to intracellular localization in the presence of agonist. Removal of agonist from the medium resulted in recovery of cell surface immunoreactivity to control levels within ~1 hr. Incubation of P2Y2-HA receptor-expressing cells with P2Y2 receptor agonists also resulted in receptor-specific desensitization of nucleotide-promoted inositol phosphate accumulation. This loss of responsiveness occurred more rapidly and to a greater extent than did the agonist-promoted loss of surface receptors. Inhibition of receptor internalization by reduction of temperature to 16° had no effect on the capacity of nucleotides to induce P2Y2 receptor-specific desensitization. These results illustrate that the P2Y2 receptor undergoes agonist-promoted movement to an intracellular compartment. This receptor internalization is not required for agonist-induced desensitization.
