Presynaptic dopamine D2 receptors (D2Rs)
regulate dopamine transporter (DAT) activity in the brain. A potential
mechanism was suggested by the observations that somatodendritic
D2R activation produces hyperpolarization and the velocity
of DAT expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes varies with
changes in membrane potential. To investigate whether D2R
regulation of DAT function is voltage-dependent, we coexpressed the
long isoform of the human (h) D2R and the hDAT in oocytes.
Most DAT substrates fully activate D2Rs at concentrations used to measure uptake. Thus, DAT function was compared under conditions of maximal D2R activation (0.1-10 µM DA) or
maximal D2R blockade (DA + 1 µM (
)-sulpiride).
D2R activation significantly increased [3H]DA
uptake into unclamped oocytes expressing relatively lower velocities.
Uptake measured with a saturating concentration of DA suggested a
D2R-induced increase in Vmax.
The D2R-mediated enhancement of DA uptake was not
associated with changes in resting membrane potential and was abolished
by pertussis toxin pretreatment. Furthermore, in voltage-clamped
oocytes, D2R activation enhanced both DA uptake and
DAT-mediated steady-state currents by as much as 70%. Activation of
D2Rs resulted in a 59% increase in cell surface binding of
the cocaine analog [3H]WIN 35,428; this effect was also
abolished by pertussis toxin pretreatment. Saturation experiments
confirmed that D2R activation was associated with an
increased Bmax and unchanged
Ki for [3H]WIN 35,428. These
results suggest that D2R-induced up-regulation of DAT
activity occurs via a voltage-independent mechanism that depends on
Gi/o activation and a rapid increase in expression of
functional DAT molecules at the cell surface.
