GPR158, an Orphan Member of G Protein-Coupled Receptor Family C: Glucocorticoid-Stimulated Expression and Novel Nuclear Role

Abstract: Members of the large G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) clan are implicated in many physiological and disease processes, making them important therapeutic drug targets. In the present study, we follow up on results of a pilot study suggesting a functional relationship between glucocorticoid (GC)-induced ocular hypertension and GPR158, one of three orphan members of the GPCR Family C. GC treatment increases levels of GPR158 mRNA and protein through transcriptional mechanisms, in cultured trabecular meshwork (TBM… Show more

“…It is also possible that GPR158 might have an additional G protein-independent mode in regulating cellular signaling. For example, a C-terminal fragment of GPR158 was shown to contain a nuclear localization sequence and play an important role in directing GPR158 in the nucleus to regulate cellular proliferation (77). However, regardless of whether or not GPR158/179 serve as GPCRs and/or affect signaling via an alternative mechanism, it is clear that they can impact cellular homeostasis by affecting the activity, localization, and expression of RGS7.…”

“…Gpr158, a relatively unstudied orphan member of class C of the large G-protein coupled receptor family, was recently implicated in the formation of tight junctions in ocular trabecular meshwork cells. 26 To our knowledge, no connection between Gpr158 and either fibrosis or cardiac function has been described to date. …”

“…It is expressed in a variety of tissues, but it is expressed at highest levels in the brain. In cultured trabecular meshwork cells, glucocorticoid (GC) treatment and the transient overexpression of GPR158 stimulates levels of GPR158 mRNA and protein through transcriptional mechanisms [36]. Both endogenous and overexpressed GPR158 show an unusual subcellular localization pattern, being found almost entirely in the nucleus.…”

“…Both endogenous and overexpressed GPR158 show an unusual subcellular localization pattern, being found almost entirely in the nucleus. The transient overexpression of GPR158 stimulates cell proliferation, up-regulates levels of the cell cycle regulator cyclin D1 and increases the levels of tight junction proteins ZO-1 (Table 1) [36]. Nuclear localization of endogenous and overexpressed GPR158 is prevented by inhibitors of clathrin-mediated endocytosis.…”
