Desensitization of seven transmembrane receptors (7TMRs), which are modulated by the {beta}-arrestins, leads to altered G protein activation. The A1 adenosine receptor (A1AR) is an antiinflammatory 7TMR exhibiting reduced expression and activity in both multiple sclerosis (MS) and the murine MS model, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in monocytoid cells. Herein, we report that {beta}-arrestin-1 expression was increased in brains of MS patients relative to non-MS brains, whereas A1AR expression was concomitantly reduced. This inverse relationship between {beta}-arrestin-1 and A1AR was confirmed in cultured monocytoid cells as {beta}-arrestin-1 overexpression resulted in a down-regulation of A1AR together with the internalization of the surface receptor. Moreover, a physical interaction between {beta}-arrestin-1 and A1AR was demonstrated in monocytoid cells. Proinflammatory cytokines regulated the A1AR/{beta}-arrestin-1 interactions, while A1AR activation also modulated proinflammatory cytokines expression. During EAE, {beta}-arrestin-1 and A1AR expression in the spinal cord displayed a similar pattern compared to that observed in MS brains. EAE-induced neuroinflammation and neurobehavioral deficits were suppressed by glucocorticoid treatments, accompanied by concurrent reduced {beta}-arrestin-1 and enhanced A1AR expression. Thus, the interplay between {beta}-arrestin-1 and A1AR in the central nervous system during neuroinflammation represents a reciprocal regulatory mechanism through which neuroprotective therapeutic strategies for neuroinflammatory diseases might be further developed.—Tsutsui, S., Vergote, D., Shariat, N., Warren, K., Ferguson, S.
