(2013) Structure-function from the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily, Annu Rev Pharmacol Toxicol 53, 531C556. selectively induces ERK1/2 activation through both the Gi subunit and -arrestin proteins. This work elucidates the signal transduction pathway of 5-HT1B receptors, as well as key phosphorylation sites within the receptor that modulate ERK1/2 activation, and further characterizes the intracellular mechanisms that underlie 5-HT1B receptor function. should be examined in future studies. We observed a different pattern of -arrestin isoform involvement in non-neuronal MEF cells. In those cells, ERK1 phosphorylation depended only on -arrestin 2, while either -arrestin 1 or -arrestin 2 deletion blocked the phosphorylation of ERK2. Previous studies show that the mechanism by which GPCRs engage ERK1/2 is highly cell type-specific and dependent on the expression of various isoforms of upstream molecules.51 Additionally, levels of ERK1/2 expression are known to vary depending on cell type,55 and the MEF cells were transiently transfected with HA-5-HT1B, which produces varying levels of receptor expression in each individual experiment. Thus, interactions with binding partners may vary with the receptor expression level. It appears that the main conclusion from these experiments is that -arrestins are necessary for ERK1/2 activation in MEF cells, but the participation of each -arrestin isoform in these experiments MMP19 is less clear than in our N2A-1B experiments. Taken together, our data show that agonist-induced 5-HT1B receptor activation leads to selective phosphorylation of ERK1/2, with contributions of G protein-dependent signaling through the Gi/o subunit, as well as interactions with -arrestins 1 and 2. This work sheds light on the complexity of signal transduction mechanisms that may underlie the diverse functions of the 5-HT1B receptor in neurons. METHODS Cell culture and drug treatments Neuro2A (N2A) cells were maintained with growth media consisting of Dulbeccos Modified Eagles Medium (DMEM), 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), and 1x Antibiotic-Antimycotic (Gibco) at 37C in 5% CO2. N2A cells were transfected with a plasmid expressing HA-tagged rat 5-HT1B receptor in a pcDNA3 backbone (N2A-1B) using Lipofectamine LTX (Invitrogen), and selection for the stably transfected cell lines was achieved with 500 g/mL geneticin (G418). Cells were plated in 60 mm plates 48 hours before treatment with growth media consisting of DMEM, 10% dialyzed serum, and 1x Antibiotic-Antimycotic (Gibco), and fed with fresh dialyzed growth media 24 hours before treatment. One hour before agonist treatment, cells were switched to serum-free Opti-MEM to wash out any residual 5-HT, with or without the presence of antagonists as described. Following agonist treatment, cells were lysed with modified RIPA buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1% Triton X-100, 0.25% sodium deoxycholate, 1% CHAPS, and 1x protease and phosphatase inhibitors) and briefly vortexed. Cell debris was pelleted by centrifugation at 15,000 x g for five minutes. The protein concentration of the lysate was measured using the 660 nm protein assay (Pierce). Treatment drugs used were: CP-94253,56 SB-224289,53, gallein (Tocris), pertussis toxin (Novex), and U0126 (Cell Signaling). These drugs were applied one hour prior to the addition of agonists. For -arrestin experiments, N2A-1B -arrestin knockout (KO) cells were grown in media additionally supplemented with 2 g/ml puromycin. Cells were plated in 60 mm plates 24 hours prior to treatment. One hour before agonist treatment, cells were switched to serum-free Opti-MEM, with or without the presence of the selective 5-HT1B antagonist SB-224289 (1 M), then treated with the selective 5-HT1B agonist CP-94253 (100 nM) for ten minutes. Cell lysates were prepared as described above. For mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) experiments, wild-type, -arrestin 1 knockout, -arrestin 2 knockout, and -arrestin 1 and 2 double knockout MEF cells57 were maintained with growth media consisting of DMEM, 10% FBS, and 1% penicillin/streptomycin at 37C in 7% CO2. Cells were plated in 60 mm plates 72 hours prior to drug treatment. Using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen), cells were transiently transfected 48 hours prior to drug treatment with 16.525 g DNA of a plasmid mix containing 30% HA-tagged rat 5-HT1B receptor, 30% Clover, a bright green-yellow fluorescent protein derived from GFP, and 40% pCAGGS, an empty vector control plasmid.58 Plates were fed with fresh growth media 24 hours prior to drug treatment. Immediately before drug treatment, presence of Clover fluorescence was confirmed; Clover expression was used as a marker of successful plasmid transfection in each experiment. One hour before agonist treatment, cells were switched to serum-free Opti-MEM, with or without the presence of.Peptides were resuspended in 300 L 80% acetonitrile with 0.1% TFA in water and incubated for one hour with 10 L Fe3+ and Ga2+ charged Ni-NTA Superflow agarose beads (Qiagen) on an end-over-end rotator at room temperature. the Gi subunit and -arrestin proteins. This work elucidates the signal transduction pathway of 5-HT1B receptors, as well as essential phosphorylation sites inside the receptor that modulate ERK1/2 activation, and additional characterizes the intracellular systems that underlie 5-HT1B receptor function. ought to be analyzed in future research. We noticed a different design of -arrestin isoform participation in non-neuronal MEF cells. In those cells, ERK1 phosphorylation depended just on -arrestin 2, while either -arrestin 1 or -arrestin 2 deletion obstructed the phosphorylation of ERK2. Prior studies also show that the system where GPCRs employ ERK1/2 is extremely cell type-specific and reliant on the appearance of varied isoforms of upstream substances.51 Additionally, degrees of ERK1/2 expression are recognized to vary based on cell type,55 as well as the MEF cells were transiently transfected with HA-5-HT1B, which makes varying degrees of receptor expression in every individual experiment. Hence, connections with binding companions may vary using the receptor appearance level. It would appear that the main bottom line from these tests is normally that -arrestins are essential for ERK1/2 activation in MEF cells, however the participation of every -arrestin isoform in these tests is less apparent than inside our N2A-1B tests. Taken jointly, our data present that agonist-induced 5-HT1B receptor activation network marketing leads to selective phosphorylation of ERK1/2, with efforts of G protein-dependent signaling through the Gi/o subunit, aswell as connections with -arrestins 1 and 2. This function sheds light over the intricacy of indication transduction systems that may underlie the different functions from the 5-HT1B receptor in neurons.

Inhibition of Gi/o signaling with pertussis toxin, aswell as MEK1/2 inhibition with U0126, decreased 5-HT1B-mediated ERK1/2 phosphorylation also. Finally, we discovered that knockout of either -arrestin 1 or -arrestin 2 avoided 5-HT1B -mediated phosphorylation of ERK1/2.
