The possible modulation of the glutamate transporter EAAC1 by a class A G protein-coupled receptor was studied in transfected C6 glioma cells stably expressing the high-affinity neurotensin receptor NTS1. Brief exposure (5 min) to neurotensin increased Na(+)-dependent D-[(3)H]aspartate uptake by about 70%. The effect of neurotensin was found to result from an increase in cell surface expression of EAAC1 and accordingly, cytochalasin D and colchicine were shown to block the effect of neurotensin on aspartate uptake, suggesting that the cytoskeleton participates in this regulation. Neither protein kinase C nor phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activities, two intracellular signaling pathways known to modulate EAAC1, was required for EAAC1-mediated aspartate transport regulation by neurotensin. Together, these results provide evidence for an acute regulation of EAAC1 trafficking after activation of a G protein-coupled receptor.
