Previously, we implicated the opioid receptor (OR),
G subunits, and Ras in the opioid activation of
extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK), a member of the
mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase family involved in mitogenic
signaling. We now report that OR endocytosis also plays a role in the
opioid stimulation of ERK activity. COS-7 and HEK-293 cells were
cotransfected with the cDNA of -, µ-, or -OR, dynamin wild-type
(DWT), or the dominant suppressor mutant dynamin
K44A, which blocks receptor endocytosis. The activation of ERK by
opioid agonists in the presence of DWT was detected. In
contrast, parallel ectopic coexpression of the K44A mutant with OR,
followed by agonist treatment, resulted in a time-dependent attenuation
of ERK activation. Immunofluorescence confocal microscopy of -OR and
DWT-cotransfected COS-7 cells revealed that agonist
exposure for 10 min resulted in an ablation of cell surface -OR
immunoreactivity (IR) and an intensification of cytoplasmic (presumably
endosomal) staining as seen in the absence of overexpressed
DWT. After 1 hr of -agonist exposure the cells displayed
substantial internalization of -OR IR. If the cells were
cotransfected with -OR and dynamin mutant K44A, OR IR was retained
on the cell surface even after 1 hr of -agonist treatment. Parallel
immunofluorescence confocal microscopy, using an anti-ERK antibody,
showed that agonist-induced time-dependent ERK IR trafficking into
perinuclear and nuclear loci was impaired in the
internalization-defective cells. Thus, both biochemical and
immunofluorescence confocal microscopic evidence supports the
hypothesis that the opioid activation of ERK requires receptor internalization in transfected mammalian cells.
