The orphan Glutamate receptor Delta2 (GluD2) intrinsic ion channel activity is
indirectly triggered by glutamate through stimulation of the metabotropic
glutamate receptor 1 (mGlu1), in cerebellar Purkinje cells. However, the
mechanisms of GluD2 ion channel opening are entirely unknown. In this work, we
investigated the signaling pathways underlying the mGlu1-induced GluD2 current,
performing whole-cell voltage-clamp recordings from mGlu1 and GluD2 transfected
HEK293 cells. We show that the activation of GluD2 channels via DHPG-induced
mGlu1 stimulation is Gαq-dependent. Moreover, inhibition of the downstream
components of the mGlu1 canonical signaling pathway PLC and PKC with U73122 and
GF109203X, respectively, strongly reduced the DHPG-induced GluD2 current. These
results were further confirmed on endogenous receptors at the Parallel Fiber –
Purkinje Cell cerebellar synapse, indicating that the opening of the GluD2
channel by mGlu1 receptor mobilizes the canonical Gq-PLC-PKC pathway. This
article is part of the Special Issue entitled ‘Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors,
5 years on’.
