Abstract |
GPCR associated sorting protein 1 (GPRASP1) interacts with numerous GPCRs including the Beta2-adrenoceptor (B2AR) and has been proposed to be involved in adaptations associated with chronic stimulation of those receptors. In clinic, long acting B2AR agonists (LABAs) such as formoterol are used in the treatment of asthma as potent bronchodilators but with adverse side effects including the development of tolerance and airway hyperresponsiveness upon chronic administration. Here, we investigated the role of GPRASP1 on B2AR activity and on B2AR agonists-associated side effects in vitro and in vivo. To this purpose, we set-up a model of chronic formoterol administration in mouse leading to B2AR down-regulation as well as to the development of airway hyperreactivity and bronchodilator tolerance and studied the phenotype of GPRASP1 knockout animals. We show in cells that GPRASP1 expression has no impact on agonist-induced B2AR down-regulation but strongly modulate B2AR-associated signalling. Moreover, wild-type mice chronically treated with formoterol developed airway hyperresponsiveness to methacholine and bronchodilator tolerance to formoterol that were absent in GPRASP1 KO mice while B2AR down-regulation was similar in both genotypes. These adverse side effects were correlated with an increase in the number of cells and in collagen levels in the lungs of wild-type but not of GPRASP1 KO mice. Collectively, our data show that GPRASP1 is critically involved in adaptations to chronic activation of B2AR that leads to lung tissue remodelling, development of bronchial hyperresponsiveness and bronchodilator tolerance to B2AR agonist formoterol and could therefore represent an interesting target to limit side effects associated with LABAs.

Highlights |
• | Tolerance and bronchial hyperresponsiveness induced by the long acting B2-agonist formoterol are absent in GPRASP1 KO. |
• | Lung tissue remodelling induced by chronic formoterol is absent in GPRASP1 KO. |
• | Compounds targeting GPRASP1-associated signaling could reduce B2AR agonist-associated side effects. |
