The heteromer composed of dopamine D1 and D3 receptors can activate Erk1/2 and Akt signaling in a G protein-independent, beta-arrestin 1-dependent way. Abnormal levels of D1R-D3R heteromer in Parkinson's disease patients with L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID) suggest its involvement in the abnormal PKA-Shp-2-Erk1/2 pathway. The signaling pathway induced by the D1R/D3R heteromer involves D1R molecular effectors, Gs protein, PKA, phosphatase Shp-2, and beta-arrestins.
The heteromer composed of dopamine D1 and D3 receptors (D1R-D3R) has been defined as a structure able to trigger Erk1/2 and Akt signaling in a G protein-independent, beta-arrestin 1-dependent way that is physiologically expressed in the ventral striatum and is likely involved in the control of locomotor activity. Indeed, abnormal levels of D1R-D3R heteromer in the dorsal striatum have been correlated with the development of L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID) in Parkinson's disease patients, a motor complication associated with striatal D1R signaling, thus requiring Gs protein and PKA activity to activate Erk1/2. Therefore, to clarify the role of the D1R/D3R heteromer in LID, we investigated the signaling pathway induced by the heteromer using transfected cells and primary mouse striatal neurons. Collectively, we found that in both the cell models, D1R/D3R heteromer-induced activation of Erk1/2 exclusively required the D1R molecular effectors, such as Gs protein and PKA, with the contribution of the phosphatase Shp-2 and beta-arrestins, indicating that heterodimerization with the D3R abolishes the specific D3R-mediated signaling but strongly allows D1R signals. Therefore, while in physiological conditions the D1R/D3R heteromer could represent a mechanism that strengthens the D1R activity, its pathological expression may contribute to the abnormal PKA-Shp-2-Erk1/2 pathway connected with LID.
