Agonist- and Reflex-Evoked Internalization of Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 5 in Enteric Neurons

We demonstrate that metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) is present in the guinea pig ileum. A punctate ring-like distribution of immunoreactivity is found on the soma of a subset of neurons, consistent with an association of mGluR5 with the plasma membrane. mGluR5-containing cells in the submucosal plexus are predominantly noncholinergic and contain vasoactive intestinal peptide, a marker of secretomotor neurons. Using immunocytochemistry in conjunction with confocal microscopy, we show that the mGluR5 undergoes agonist- and reflex-evoked internalization that is inhibited by the group I antagonist 1-aminoindan-1,5-dicarboxylic acid. In addition, group I mGluR antagonists reduce the distension-induced phosphorylation of cAMP-responsive element-binding protein in enteric neurons and attenuate both glutamate- and group I agonist-induced depolarizing responses and slow synaptic events in submucosal neurons. These findings support the idea that mGluRs play a role in enteric reflexes and suggest that internalization might be a major mechanism for regulation of mGluR activity.
