The neuronal dopamine transporter (DAT) plays a key role in
terminating dopaminergic chemical neurotransmission; thus, the study of
the regulation of DAT activity is important in defining parameters
relevant to the control of dopaminergic neurotransmission. Interpretation of the results from previous work of this laboratory suggests that occupation of presynaptic autoreceptors increases DAT
activity. Second messenger signaling related to kinetic upregulation of
DAT has not been examined previously. However, others have shown that
protein kinase C activity may downregulate DAT activity, whereas
protein kinase A has shown variable results. Herein it is shown that
protein kinase A activity mediates the kinetic upregulation of DAT.
Quinpirole increased DAT activity that was blocked by sulpiride and the
protein kinase A selective inhibitor H-89. Brief incubations with
forskolin and 8-bromo-cAMP (8-Br-cAMP) were found to stimulate striatal
DAT activity by increasing the Vmax of
transport without affecting the Km.
Exposures >15 min had no effect. The 8-Br-cAMP-stimulated increases in
DAT activity were blocked by pre-exposure to H-89. Thus, second
messenger signaling via the cAMP cascade may mediate kinetic
upregulation of DAT. Kinetic analyses of the results suggest that
either insertion of DAT into the membrane or activation of pre-existing
DAT within the membrane mediates the regulation.
