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.
