The receptor-linked internalization of [125I] human neuropeptide Y (NPY) in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells expressing the guinea-pig Y1 receptors or in human endometrial carcinoma-1B (Hec-1B) cells expressing the human Y5 receptor, as well as the receptor-linked internalization of human pancreatic polypeptide (hPP) receptor expressed in CHO cells, is selectively inhibited by low molarities of the Li+ cation. The Na+ and K+ cations decreased the receptor-linked internalization of agonist peptides only at high molar inputs, and largely in proportion to the reduction of cell surface binding of Y ligand peptides, dependent on ion concentration and the type of Y receptor examined. With particulates isolated from disrupted cells, there was no preferential inhibition by Li+ relative to Na+ in the binding of type-specific ligand peptides to Y receptors of any type. The observed difference could be connected to the known ability of Li+ to modify active conformations of signal transducers, which may also directly or indirectly affect the internalization motors. The decrease in the rate of Y receptor internalization by Li+ also points to a possible alteration of Y receptor signaling in vivo by lithium at acute therapeutically employed dose levels.
