Abstract

Preexposure of SH-SY5Y cells to the muscarinic agonist carbachol caused a rapid desensitization of subsequent carbachol-stimulated intracellular Ca2+ responses and a slower decrease in the number of receptors at the plasma membrane. Desensitization (to 30% of the control response) was maximal after 1 min of exposure to agonist, whereas the number of cell surface receptors reached a minimum (33% of control) only after 5 min. Following agonist washout, the recovery of response was complete within 12 min, whereas the recovery of surface receptor number reached a plateau at 65% of control after 30 min. Treatment with inhibitors of endocytosis (concanavalin A) or recycling (nigericin) did not affect rapid desensitization but did decrease resensitization, suggesting that receptor cycling is involved in resensitization. Experiments with the irreversible antagonist propyl- benzilylcholine mustard demonstrated that the receptor reserve for the Ca2+ response to 1 mM carbachol is ~50%. Removal of this receptor reserve led to a decrease in the rate of resensitization. We propose that the existence of a receptor reserve might explain the poor correlation between functional response and surface receptor number, and that one of its roles might be to permit rapid resensitization after a significant agonist-induced decrease in surface receptor number. The purpose of receptor cycling might be to allow dephosphorylation (and reactivation) of receptors that have become phosphorylated (and inactivated) in response to agonist stimulation, because the protein phosphatase inhibitor calyculin A significantly reduced resensitization.
