Localization of the kappa opioid receptor in lipid rafts

Abstract

Lipid rafts are microdomains of plasma membranes enriched in cholesterol and sphingolipids in the outer layer. We determined whether kappa opioid receptors (KOR) in human placenta and FLAG (DYKDDDDK)-tagged human KOR (FLAG-hKOR) expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are localized in lipid rafts and whether changes in cholesterol contents affect hKOR properties and signaling. Lipid rafts were prepared from placenta membranes and CHO cells expressing FLAG-hKOR using the Na2CO3 method and fractionation through a sucrose density gradient. The majority of the KOR in the placenta and FLAG-hKOR in CHO cells, determined by [3H]diprenorphine binding and/or immunoblotting with an anti-FLAG antibody, was present in low-density fractions, coinciding with high levels of caveolin-1 and cholesterol, markers of lipid rafts, which indicated that the KOR is localized in lipid rafts. Pretreatment with 2% methyl beta-cyclodextrin (MCD) reduced cholesterol content by approximately 48% and changed the cells from spindle-shaped to spherical. MCD treatment disrupted lipid rafts, shifted caveolin-1 and FLAG-hKOR to higher density fractions, increased the affinity of (-)-(trans)-3,4-dichloro-N-methyl-N-[2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)cyclohexyl]benzeneaceta...Continue Reading

Caveolins & Signal Transduction

Caveolins are small proteins with a hairpin loop conformation that are located in the plasma membrane of various cell types where they bind cholesterol and interact with receptors essential for several signal transduction pathways. Here is the latest research.
