Background The mu opioid receptor (MuOR) is a member of the superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors that mediates the analgesic actions of endogenous opioid peptides and the narcotic alkaloid derivatives of morphine. Activation and translocation of protein kinase C (PKC) by N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor stimulation correlates with resistance to opioid drugs in experimental states of neuropathic pain, but the cellular mechanisms of resistance have not been identified. One possibility is that PKC activation regulates MuOR mRNA expression and thus the ability to generate functional receptors. Using a human neuroblastoma cell line, the authors tested the hypothesis that phorbol ester activation of PKC regulates MuOR mRNA levels. Methods SH-SY5Y cells were maintained in a continuous monolayer culture and treated with phorbol esters or other agents before extraction of total cellular RNA. Slot-blot hybridization was used to measure the level of MuOR mRNA using 32P-labeled MuOR cDNA probes under high-stringency conditions. Autoradiograms were analyzed by scanning and densitometry. Results MuOR mRNA levels decreased in a dose- and time-dependent manner after tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate (TPA) was administered to activate PKC. The nadir, a level of approximately 50% of control, was at 2-8 h, followed by gradual recovery. The actions of TPA were blocked by pretreatment with the selective PKC inhibitor bisindolylmaleimide, but not by inhibition of protein synthesis with cycloheximide or anisomycin. The combination of TPA treatment and transcription inhibition with actinomycin D was associated with a transient increase in MuOR mRNA. Conclusions Mu opioid receptor mRNA levels are regulated by activation of PKC in a neuronal model. Protein kinase C effects which decrease MuOR mRNA levels appear largely independent of new protein synthesis, and cytotoxicity does not account for the findings. Plasticity of MuOR gene expression may contribute to variations in clinical responses to opioid analgesics in clinical states such as neuropathic pain.

By the yeast two-hybrid screening of a rat brain cDNA library with the regulatory domain of protein kinase C ζ (PKCζ) as a bait, we have cloned a gene coding for a novel PKCζ-interacting protein homologous to the Caenorhabditis elegans UNC-76 protein involved in axonal outgrowth and fasciculation. The protein designated FEZ1 (fasciculation and elongation protein zeta-1) consisting of 393 amino acid residues shows a high Asp/Glu content and contains several regions predicted to form amphipathic helices. Northern blot analysis has revealed that FEZ1 mRNA is abundantly expressed in adult rat brain and throughout the developmental stages of mouse embryo. By the yeast two-hybrid assay with various deletion mutants of PKC, FEZ1 was shown to interact with the NH2-terminal variable region (V1) of PKCζ and weakly with that of PKCε. In the COS-7 cells coexpressing FEZ1 and PKCζ, FEZ1 was present mainly in the plasma membrane, associating with PKCζ and being phosphorylated. These results indicate that FEZ1 is a novel substrate of PKCζ. When the constitutively active mutant of PKCζ was used, FEZ1 was found in the cytoplasm of COS-7 cells. Upon treatment of the cells with a PKC inhibitor, staurosporin, FEZ1 was translocated from the cytoplasm to the plasma membrane, suggesting that the cytoplasmic translocation of FEZ1 is directly regulated by the PKCζ activity. Although expression of FEZ1 alone had no effect on PC12 cells, coexpression of FEZ1 and constitutively active PKCζ stimulated the neuronal differentiation of PC12 cells. Combined with the recent finding that a human FEZ1 protein is able to complement the function of UNC-76 necessary for normal axonal bundling and elongation within axon bundles in the nematode, these results suggest that FEZ1 plays a crucial role in the axon guidance machinery in mammals by interacting with PKCζ.
