    Notes: The metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) exhibits a rapid loss of receptor responsiveness to prolonged or repeated agonist exposure. This receptor desensitization has been seen in a variety of native and recombinant systems, and is thought to result from receptor-mediated, protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent phosphorylation of the receptor, uncoupling it from the G protein in a negative feedback regulation. We have investigated the rapid PKC-mediated desensitization of mGluR5 in cortical cultured astrocytes by measuring downstream signals from activation of mGluR5. These include activation of phosphoinositide (PI) hydrolysis, intracellular calcium transients, and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 2 (ERK2) phosphorylation. We present evidence that PKC plays an important role in rapid desensitization of PI hydrolysis and calcium signaling, but not in ERK2 phosphorylation. This differential regulation of mGluR5-mediated responses suggests divergent signaling and regulatory pathways which may be important mechanisms for dynamic integration of signal cascades.

    Notes: Abstract: Activation of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) in glia results in significant physiological effects for both the glia and the neighboring neurons; but in many cases, the mGluR subtypes and signal transduction mechanisms mediating these effects have not been determined. In this study, we report that mGluR activation in primary cultures of rat cortical glia results in tyrosine phosphorylation of several proteins, including p44/p42 mitogen-activated protein kinases, also referred to as extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK1/2). Incubation of glial cultures with the general mGluR agonist 1-aminocyclopentane-1S,3R-dicarboxylate and the mGluR group I-selective agonists (RS)-3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine (DHPG) and l-quisqualate resulted in increased tyrosine phosphorylation of ERK1/2. The group II-selective agonist (2S,2′R,3′R)-2-(2′,3′-dicarboxycyclopropyl)glycine and group III-selective agonist l(+)-2-amino-4-phosphonobutyric acid had no effect on tyrosine phosphorylation. DHPG-induced ERK1/2 phosphorylation could be inhibited by an antagonist that acts at group I or group II mGluRs but not by antagonists for group II and group III mGluRs. Protein kinase C (PKC) activators also induced ERK1/2 phosphorylation, but the PKC inhibitor bisindolylmaleimide I did not inhibit DHPG-induced ERK1/2 phosphorylation at a concentration that inhibited the response to phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate. These data suggest that mGluR activation of ERK1/2 in cultured glia is mediated by group I mGluRs and that this effect is independent of PKC activation. Furthermore, immunoblots with antibodies against various mGluR subtypes show expression of mGluR5, but no other mGluRs in our cultures. Taken together, these results suggest that mGluR5 stimulation results in tyrosine phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and other glial proteins.
