Studies on the mechanism of enkephalin receptor down regulation.

Abstract:

:The association of [3H] [D-Ala2, D-Leu5] enkephalin ([3H]DADLE]) with mouse neuroblastoma cells (N4TG1) was investigated. Under identical conditions the time course, dose response curve and temperature dependence for ligand uptake were similar to those for ligand-induced receptor loss (down regulation). Uptake of [3H]DADLE was inhibited by opiate ligands as well as by the metabolic inhibitors sodium azide and 2,4 dinitrophenol. Comparison of the effects of these inhibitors on receptor binding, ligand uptake and receptor loss indicated that these cells accumulate [3H]DADLE in excess of their surface receptor number. The data suggest that receptor recycling occurs and that ligand is internalized via receptor mediated endocytosis.
