Opioid Receptor Function Is Regulated by Post-endocytic Peptide Processing

Abstract: Background: Endothelin-converting enzyme-2 (ECE2) localizes to early endosomes and processes neuropeptides at nonclassical sites at acidic pH. Results: Inhibiting ECE2 activity impairs recycling and resensitization of ␦ opioid receptors. Conclusion: ECE2 regulates ␦ opioid receptor function by endocytic processing of opioid peptide substrates. Significance: Understanding the involvement of ECE2 in opioid receptor function could open novel avenues for developing pharmacotherapeutics to treat pain.

“…This target is unlikely to mediate the antiangiogenic activity of quininib because alternative endothelin receptor antagonists do not phenocopy quininib (data not shown). In addition, recently Gupta et al (50) reported that the quininib Z-isomer more potently inhibits ECE-2 than the E-isomer, which does not correlate with our finding of greater anti- angiogenic activity of the E-isomer (50). Also of note is that quininib does not directly inhibit the activity of any VEGF receptor.…”

“…Furthermore, Dyngo-4a pretreated cells also show cAMP inhibition suggesting that opto-MOR continues to inhibit cAMP from the plasma membrane with no loss of signal when inhibiting dynamin-clathrin pathways (Figure S3C and S3F). These data together suggest that opto-MOR may indeed recycle and use clathrin-dynamin endocytosis which has been documented in opioid receptors (Gupta et al, 2014) and other GPCR systems (Irannejad et al, 2013; Tsvetanova and von Zastrow, 2014), and suggests that opto-MOR may have some utility in dissecting these diverse signaling dynamics.…”

“…Receptor internalization assays were carried out using previously described protocols (52, 53). Briefly, HEK-293 cells expressing HA-tagged mGPR83 were seeded 24 hours after transfection into 24-well plates (2 × 10 5 cells per well).…”
