However, no nociceptive stimulation was applied in our protocol, and we therefore can not exclude the possibility that insufficient enkephalin was released to provoke the internalization of the δ-opioid receptor.
Expression of the ribozyme targeted against the M6P/IGF2 receptor in MCF-7 cells resulted in down-regulation of M6P/IGF2R expression, as measured by RT-PCR, and M6P/IGF2R function, indicated by a decrease in internalization of 125I-IGF-II, and β-glucuronidase binding and endocytosis.
4A, cells infected with Ad-GFP/Rz-IGF2R had a corresponding reduction of ~40% in 125I-IGF-II internalization when compared with control cells (infected with Ad-GFP).
These findings raise two related questions: 1) can δ-opioid receptors be internalized in vivo by the same agonist-induced endocytosis observed in vitro ? and if this is the case, 2) does the internalization process have the same kinetics reported from in vitro studies?
Another hypothesis poses the question of whether the internalization process is agonist-selective.
