Abstract
- In this study, we have investigated a possible mechanism that enables CB <subscript>1</subscript> /M <subscript>3</subscript> receptor cross-talk, using SH-SY5Y cells as a model system. Our results show that M <subscript>3</subscript> receptor activation initiates signaling that rapidly upregulates the CNR1 gene, resulting in a greatly potentiated CB <subscript>1</subscript> receptor response to agonists. Calcium homeostasis plays an essential intermediary role in this functional CB <subscript>1</subscript> /M <subscript>3</subscript> receptor cross-talk. We show that M <subscript>3</subscript> receptor-triggered calcium release greatly increases CB <subscript>1</subscript> receptor expression via both transcriptional and translational activity, by enhancing CNR1 promoter activity. The co-expression of M <subscript>3</subscript> and CB <subscript>1</subscript> receptors in brain areas such as the nucleus accumbens and amygdala support the hypothesis that the altered synaptic plasticity observed after exposure to cannabinoids involves cross-talk with the M <subscript>3</subscript> receptor subtype. In this context, M <subscript>3</subscript> receptors and their interaction with the cannabinoid system at the transcriptional level represent a potential pharmacogenomic target not only for the develop of new drugs for addressing addiction and tolerance. but also to understand the mechanisms underpinning response stratification to cannabinoids.
