Abstract
Opioid receptors are important pharmacological targets for the management of numerous medical conditions (eg, severe pain), but they are also the gateway to the development of deleterious side effects (eg, opiate addiction). Opioid receptor signaling cascades are well characterized. However, quantitative information regarding their lateral dynamics and nanoscale organization in the plasma membrane remains limited. Since these dynamic properties are important determinants of receptor function, it is crucial to define them. Herein, the nanoscale lateral dynamics and spatial organization of kappa opioid receptor (KOP), wild type mu opioid receptor (MOPwt ), and its naturally occurring isoform (MOPN40D ) were quantitatively characterized using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy and photoactivated localization microscopy. Obtained results, supported by ensemble-averaged Monte Carlo simulations, indicate that these opioid receptors dynamically partition into different domains. In particular, significant exclusion from GM1 ganglioside-enriched domains and partial association with cholesterol-enriched domains was observed. Nanodomain size, receptor population density and the fraction of receptors residing outside of nanodomains were receptor-specific. KOP-containing domains were the largest and most densely populated, with the smallest fraction of molecules residing outside of nanodomains. The opposite was true for MOPN40D . Moreover, cholesterol depletion dynamically regulated the partitioning of KOP and MOPwt , whereas this effect was not observed for MOPN40D .

Impact of Lipid Composition and Receptor Conformation on the Spatio-temporal Organization of μ-Opioid Receptors in a Multi-component Plasma Membrane Model. PLoS Comput Biol 2016; 12:e1005240. [PMID: 27959924 PMCID: PMC5154498 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1005240] [Citation(s) in RCA: 41] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2016] [Accepted: 11/07/2016] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
The lipid composition of cell membranes has increasingly been recognized as playing an important role in the function of various membrane proteins, including G Protein-Coupled Receptors (GPCRs). For instance, experimental and computational evidence has pointed to lipids influencing receptor oligomerization directly, by physically interacting with the receptor, and/or indirectly, by altering the bulk properties of the membrane. While the exact role of oligomerization in the function of class A GPCRs such as the μ-opioid receptor (MOR) is still unclear, insight as to how these receptors oligomerize and the relevance of the lipid environment to this phenomenon is crucial to our understanding of receptor function. To examine the effect of lipids and different MOR conformations on receptor oligomerization we carried out extensive coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations of crystal structures of inactive and/or activated MOR embedded in an idealized mammalian plasma membrane composed of 63 lipid types asymmetrically distributed across the two leaflets. The results of these simulations point, for the first time, to specific direct and indirect effects of the lipids, as well as the receptor conformation, on the spatio-temporal organization of MOR in the plasma membrane. While sphingomyelin-rich, high-order lipid regions near certain transmembrane (TM) helices of MOR induce an effective long-range attractive force on individual protomers, both long-range lipid order and interface formation are found to be conformation dependent, with a larger number of different interfaces formed by inactive MOR compared to active MOR. The μ-opioid receptor (MOR) is an important pharmaceutical target in the treatment of pain. In order to develop novel pain therapies, devoid of the serious side-effects of present opioid analgesics, we need to understand the fundamentals of how MOR works on the molecular level. While some studies suggest that oligomers of MOR could play a role in signaling, how MOR forms dimers, which interfaces form, and the exact role of oligomers in MOR function remain unclear. While research has shown that the membrane environment can affect membrane protein function, most previous computational work to study oligomerization has been performed in a very simple membrane. Here, we use molecular dynamics simulations of MOR in a heterogeneous plasma membrane model (comprising 63 lipid types) to investigate how the presence of the protein modulates its lipid environment, affecting species distribution and sculpting characteristic order and thickness profiles around the receptors. Such modulations, in turn, induce long-range interactions between the proteins and favor the formation of specific dimeric conformations.

Abstract
Differential regulation of the μ-opioid receptor (MOR), a G protein (heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding protein)-coupled receptor, contributes to the clinically limiting effects of opioid analgesics, such as morphine. We used biophysical approaches to quantify spatiotemporal MOR signaling in response to different ligands. In human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells overexpressing MOR, morphine caused a Gβγ-dependent increase in plasma membrane-localized protein kinase C (PKC) activity, which resulted in a restricted distribution of MOR within the plasma membrane and induced sustained cytosolic extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling. In contrast, the synthetic opioid peptide DAMGO ([d-Ala(2),N-Me-Phe(4),Gly(5)-ol]-enkephalin) enabled receptor redistribution within the plasma membrane, resulting in transient increases in cytosolic and nuclear ERK activity, and, subsequently, receptor internalization. When Gβγ subunits or PKCα activity was inhibited or when the carboxyl-terminal phosphorylation sites of MOR were mutated, morphine-activated MOR was released from its restricted plasma membrane localization and stimulated a transient increase in cytosolic and nuclear ERK activity in the absence of receptor internalization. Thus, these data suggest that the ligand-induced redistribution of MOR within the plasma membrane, and not its internalization, controls its spatiotemporal signaling.

Abstract
The participation of a signaling platform to the anti-nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) effect of neuropeptide FF (NPFF) receptors was investigated in both acutely dissociated neurons and SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells. The NPFF anti-N/OFQ, not anti-μ opioid effect, on the Ca2+ transient triggered by depolarization was reversed by methyl-β-cyclodextrin which depletes cholesterol from cell membranes. While the inactive α-cyclodextrin had no effect. By using [35 S]GTPγS binding assay, a significant 20% decrease in the activity of nociceptin/orphanin FQ peptide receptors induced by the NPFF analog 1DMe was observed in detergent-resistant membranes, but not in total membranes of SH-SY5Y cells. Moreover, siRNA knock-down of G-protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 indicated that G-protein-coupled receptor kinase 2, but not protein kinase C, acted as the mediator in the NPFF anti-N/OFQ process. These data indicate that cholesterol-rich lipid rafts play an important role in the anti-N/OFQ effect of NPFF receptors. We proposed the participation of a signaling platform to the anti-Nociceptin/Orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) effect of Neuropeptide FF (NPFF) receptors both in mouse neurons and SH-SY5Y cells, with GRK2 protein acting as the mediator in this process. These findings should provide a more precise way to understand the anti-opioid effect of NPFF. NOP, Nociceptin/Orphanin FQ peptide.

Abstract
The neuropeptide FF2 (NPFF2) receptor belongs to the rhodopsin family of G protein-coupled receptors and mediates the effects of several related RFamide neuropeptides. One of the main pharmacological interests of this system resides in its ability to regulate endogenous opioid systems, making it a potential target to reduce the negative effects of chronic opioid use. Phosphorylation of intracellular residues is the most extensively studied post-translational modification regulating G protein-coupled receptor activity. However, until now, no information concerning NPFF2 receptor phosphorylation is available. In this study, we combined mass spectrometric analysis and site-directed mutagenesis to analyze for the first time the phosphorylation pattern of the NPFF2 receptor and the role of the various phosphorylation sites in receptor signaling, desensitization, and trafficking in a SH-SY5Y model cell line. We identified the major, likely GRK-dependent, phosphorylation cluster responsible for acute desensitization, (412)TNST(415) at the end of the C terminus of the receptor, and additional sites involved in desensitization ((372)TS(373)) and internalization (Ser(395)). We thus demonstrate the key role played by phosphorylation in the regulation of NPFF2 receptor activity and trafficking. Our data also provide additional evidence supporting the concept that desensitization and internalization are partially independent processes relying on distinct phosphorylation patterns.

Abstract
The dynamic organization of G protein-coupled receptors in the plasma membrane is suspected of playing a role in their function. The regulation of the diffusion mode of the mu-opioid (MOP) receptor was previously shown to be agonist-specific. Here we investigate the regulation of MOP receptor diffusion by heterologous activation of other G protein-coupled receptors and characterize the dynamic properties of the MOP receptor within the heterodimer MOP/neuropeptide FF (NPFF2) receptor. The data show that the dynamics and signaling of the MOP receptor in SH-SY5Y cells are modified by the activation of α2-adrenergic and NPFF2 receptors, but not by the activation of receptors not described to interact with the opioid receptor. By combining, for the first time, fluorescence recovery after photobleaching at variable radius experiments with bimolecular fluorescence complementation, we show that the MOP/NPFF2 heterodimer adopts a specific diffusion behavior that corresponds to a mix of the dynamic properties of both MOP and NPFF2 receptors. Altogether, the data suggest that heterologous regulation is accompanied by a specific organization of receptors in the membrane.

Abstract
Plastic changes in the nucleus accumbens (NAcc), a structure occupying a key position in the neural circuitry related to motivation, are among the critical cellular processes responsible for drug addiction. During the last decade, it has been shown that memory formation and related neuronal plasticity may rely not only on protein synthesis but also on protein degradation by the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS). In this study, we assess the role of protein degradation in the NAcc in opiate-related behaviors. For this purpose, we coupled behavioral experiments to intra-accumbens injections of lactacystin, an inhibitor of the UPS. We show that protein degradation in the NAcc is mandatory for a full range of animal models of opiate addiction including morphine locomotor sensitization, morphine conditioned place preference, intra-ventral tegmental area morphine self-administration and intra-venous heroin self-administration but not for discrimination learning rewarded by highly palatable food. This study provides the first evidence of a specific role of protein degradation by the UPS in addiction.

Abstract
Neuropeptide FF (NPFF) interacts with specific receptors to modulate opioid functions in the central nervous system. On dissociated neurons and neuroblastoma cells (SH-SY5Y) transfected with NPFF receptors, NPFF acts as a functional antagonist of μ-opioid (MOP) receptors by attenuating the opioid-induced inhibition of calcium conductance. In the SH-SY5Y model, MOP and NPFF(2) receptors have been shown to heteromerize. To understand the molecular mechanism involved in the anti-opioid activity of NPFF, we have investigated the phosphorylation status of the MOP receptor using phospho-specific antibody and mass spectrometry. Similarly to direct opioid receptor stimulation, activation of the NPFF(2) receptor by [D-Tyr-1-(NMe)Phe-3]NPFF (1DMe), an analog of NPFF, induced the phosphorylation of Ser-377 of the human MOP receptor. This heterologous phosphorylation was unaffected by inhibition of second messenger-dependent kinases and, contrarily to homologous phosphorylation, was prevented by inactivation of G(i/o) proteins by pertussis toxin. Using siRNA knockdown we could demonstrate that 1DMe-induced Ser-377 cross-phosphorylation and MOP receptor loss of function were mediated by the G protein receptor kinase GRK2. In addition, mass spectrometric analysis revealed that the phosphorylation pattern of MOP receptors was qualitatively similar after treatment with the MOP agonist Tyr-D-Ala-Gly (NMe)-Phe-Gly-ol (DAMGO) or after treatment with the NPFF agonist 1DMe, but the level of multiple phosphorylation was more intense after DAMGO. Finally, NPFF(2) receptor activation was sufficient to recruit β-arrestin2 to the MOP receptor but not to induce its internalization. These data show that NPFF-induced heterologous desensitization of MOP receptor signaling is mediated by GRK2 and could involve transphosphorylation within the heteromeric receptor complex.

Abstract
Opioid receptors are involved in the control of pain perception in the central nervous system together with endogenous neuropeptides, termed opioid-modulating peptides, participating in a homeostatic system. Neuropeptide FF (NPFF) and related peptides possess anti-opioid properties, the cellular mechanisms of which are still unclear. The purpose of this review is to detail the phenomenon of cross-talk taking place between opioid and NPFF systems at the in vivo pharmacological level and to propose cellular and molecular models of functioning. A better knowledge of the mechanisms underlying opioid-modulating properties of NPFF has potential therapeutic interest for the control of opioid functions, notably for alleviating pain and/or for the treatment of opioid abuse.

Abstract
The Neuropeptide FF (NPFF) system is known to modulate the effects of opioids in vivo and in vitro. In the present study, we have investigated the effect of NPFF agonists on the coupling of the Mu-opioid (MOP) receptor to G-proteins in a model of SH-SY5Y cells transfected with NPFF(2) receptor, in which the neuronal anti-opioid activity of NPFF was previously reproduced. Activation of G-proteins was monitored by [(35)S]GTPgammaS binding assay and analysis of G-protein subunits associated with MOP receptors was performed by Western blotting after immunoprecipitation of the receptor. The results demonstrate that concentrations of NPFF agonists that produce a cellular anti-opioid effect, did not affect the ability of the opioid agonist DAMGO to activate G-proteins. However, at saturating concentration of agonist or when expression of receptor was high, opioid and NPFF agonists did not stimulate [(35)S]GTPgammaS binding in an additive manner, indicating that both receptors share a common fraction of a G-protein pool. In addition, stimulation of NPFF receptors in living cells modified the G-protein environment of MOP receptor by favoring its interaction with alpha(s), alpha(i2) and beta subunits. This change in G-protein coupling to MOP receptor might participate in the mechanism by which NPFF agonists reduce the inhibitory activity of opioids.

Abstract
Techniques for analyzing the membrane diffusion of molecules are the most promising methods for investigating the compartmentalization of G-protein-coupled receptors, particularly as relevant to receptor signaling processes. Here, we report fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) measurements performed at variable spot radius for human mu opioid (hMOP) receptors on SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells in the presence of ligands. Although an antagonist did not affect the behavior of the receptors compared with the basal state, two different agonists, DAMGO and morphine, caused markedly different changes to receptor diffusion. Like receptors in the absence of ligand, receptors bound to morphine exhibited diffusion confined to joined semipermeable domains, but with smaller domain size and diffusion coefficient. This effect was inhibited by pertussis toxin, strongly suggesting that this dynamic behavior is associated with early steps of signaling. In the presence of DAMGO, half of the receptors displayed free long-range diffusion and the other half were confined to smaller isolated domains. Hypertonic sucrose buffer suppressed this effect, which we attribute to receptor entry into clathrin-coated pits. It is likely that the observation of distinct receptor dynamics in the presence of DAMGO and morphine involves the agonist-selective phosphorylation of the receptor.

Abstract
This paper is the 31st consecutive installment of the annual review of research concerning the endogenous opioid system. It summarizes papers published during 2008 that studied the behavioral effects of molecular, pharmacological and genetic manipulation of opioid peptides, opioid receptors, opioid agonists and opioid antagonists. The particular topics that continue to be covered include the molecular-biochemical effects and neurochemical localization studies of endogenous opioids and their receptors related to behavior (Section 2), and the roles of these opioid peptides and receptors in pain and analgesia (Section 3); stress and social status (Section 4); tolerance and dependence (Section 5); learning and memory (Section 6); eating and drinking (Section 7); alcohol and drugs of abuse (Section 8); sexual activity and hormones, pregnancy, development and endocrinology (Section 9); mental illness and mood (Section 10); seizures and neurologic disorders (Section 11); electrical-related activity and neurophysiology (Section 12); general activity and locomotion (Section 13); gastrointestinal, renal and hepatic functions (Section 14); cardiovascular responses (Section 15); respiration and thermoregulation (Section 16); and immunological responses (Section 17).

[PMID: 19300905 PMCID: PMC11115522 DOI: 10.1007/s00018-009-0008-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2008] [Revised: 02/17/2009] [Accepted: 02/18/2009] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
The activation and signalling activity of the membrane mu-opioid receptor (MOP-R) involve interactions among the receptor, G-proteins, effectors and many other membrane or cytosolic proteins. Decades of investigation have led to identification of the main biochemical processes, but the mechanisms governing the successive protein-protein interactions have yet to be established. We will need to unravel the dynamic membrane organisation of this complex and multifaceted molecular machinery if we are to understand these mechanisms. Here, we review and discuss advances in our understanding of the signalling mechanism of MOP-R resulting from biochemical or biophysical studies of the organisation of this receptor in the plasma membrane.
