摘要
We have studied ”in vivo” neurochemically identified striatal neurons to analyze the localisation and the trafficking of dopamine and acetylcholine G protein coupled receptors (GPCR) (D1R, D2R, m2R and m4R) under the influence of neurotransmitter environment. We have identified receptors in tissue sections through immunohistochemical detection at the light and electron microscopic level. We have identified receptors in normal animals and after acute and chronic stimulations. We have quantified receptors through image analysis at the electron microscopic level in relation to various subcellular compartments. Our results demonstrate that, in normal conditions, GPCRs are mostly associated with plasma membrane of the striatal neurons, mostly at extra-synaptic sites. In certain instances (m4R; D2R), receptors have prominent localisation inside the rough endoplasmic reticulum. Our results also show that two distinct receptors for a same neurotransmitter may have distinct subcellular localisation in a same neuronal population (m2R versus m4R) and that the same neurotransmitter receptor (m4R) can have distinct localisation in distinct neuronal populations (cytoplasm versus cell surface). After acute stimulation, cell surface receptors undergo dramatic subcellular changes that involve plasma membrane depletion, internalisation in endosomes and in multivesicular bodies. Such changes are reversible after the end of the stimulation and are blocked by antagonist action. Chronic stimulation also provokes changes in subcellular localisation with specific pattern: plasma membrane depletion, and exaggerated storage of receptors in rough endoplasmic reticulum and eventually Golgi complex (D1R; m2R and m4R). Decreasing chronic receptor stimulation reverses such changes. These results demonstrate that, ”in vivo”, in the striatum, GPCRs undergo complex intraneuronal trafficking under the influence of neurochemical environment in conditions that dramatically modulate the number of cell surface receptors available for interaction with neurotransmitters or drugs. This confirms that ”in vivo”, the trafficking and the subcellular compartmentalization of GPCRs may contribute to regulate neuronal sensitivity and neuronal interactions in physiological, experimental and pathological conditions, including in therapeutic conditions.
