Cholesterol modulation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor surface mobility

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) function and distribution are quite sensitive to cholesterol (Chol) levels in the plasma membrane (reviewed by Barrantes in J Neurochem 103 (suppl 1):72-80, 2007). Here we combined confocal fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) and confocal fluores...

description Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) function and distribution are quite sensitive to cholesterol (Chol) levels in the plasma membrane (reviewed by Barrantes in J Neurochem 103 (suppl 1):72-80, 2007). Here we combined confocal fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) and confocal fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) to examine the mobility of the AChR and its dependence on Chol content at the cell surface of a mammalian cell line. Plasma membrane AChR exhibited limited mobility and only ~55% of the fluorescence was recovered within 10 min after photobleaching. Depletion of membrane Chol by methyl-β-cyclodextrin strongly affected the mobility of the AChR at the plasma membrane; the fraction of mobile AChR fell from 55 to 20% in Chol-depleted cells, whereas Chol enrichment by methyl-β-cyclodextrin-Chol treatment did not reduce receptor mobility at the cell surface.
