Resum

The functional role of the dopamine D4 receptor (D4R) and its main polymorphic variants has become more evident with the demonstration of heteromers of D4R that control the function of frontal cortico-striatal neurons. Those include heteromers with the α2A adrenoceptor (α2AR) and with the D2R, localized in their cortical somato-dendritic region and striatal nerve terminals, respectively. By using biophysical and cell-signaling methods and heteromer-disrupting peptides in mammalian transfected cells and rat brain slice preparations, here we provide evidence for a new functionally relevant D4R heteromer, the α1AR-D4R heteromer, which is also preferentially localized in cortico-striatal glutamatergic terminals. Significant differences in allosteric modulations between heteromers of α1AR with the D4.4R and D4.7R polymorphic variants could be evidenced with the analysis of G protein-dependent and independent signaling. Similar negative allosteric modulations between α1AR and D4R ligands could be demonstrated for both α1AR-D4.4R and α1AR-D4.7R heteromers on G protein-independent signaling, but only for α1AR-D4.4R on G protein-dependent signaling. From these functional differences, it is proposed that the D4.4R variant provides a gain of function of the α1AR-mediated noradrenergic stimulatory control of cortico-striatal glutamatergic neurotransmission, which could result in a decrease in the vulnerability for impulse control-related neuropsychiatric disorders and increase in the vulnerability for posttraumatic stress disorder.
