Phosphorylation of receptors is shown to be unstable during routine immunohistochemical procedures in mice thus phosphatase inhibitors should be used alongside phosphosite-specific GPCR antibodies. G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are important signal transducers that are phosphorylated upon activation at intracellular serine and threonine residues. Although antibodies that specifically recognize the phosphorylation state of GPCRs have been available for many years, efficient immunolocalization of phosphorylated receptors in their tissues of origin has not been possible. Here, we show that phosphorylation of receptors is highly unstable during routine immunohistochemical procedures, requiring the use of appropriate phosphatase inhibitors particular during tissue perfusion, post-fixation, and cryoprotection but not during immunostaining of tissue sections. We provide proof of concept using phosphorylation state-specific μ-opioid receptor (MOP) and cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) antibodies. Indeed, three of four well-characterized phosphosite-specific MOP antibodies, including pS375-MOP, pT376-MOP, and pT379-MOP, showed robust neuronal immunostaining in brain and spinal cord sections of opioid-treated mice only after inclusion of phosphatase inhibitors. We then extended this approach to the CB1 receptor and demonstrated that one of three newly-generated phosphosite-specific CB1 antibodies, namely pS425-CB1, showed striking staining of fibers and varicosities in brain slices from cannabinoid-treated mice. Although subsequent experiments showed that phospho-CB1 immunostaining was less sensitive to phosphatases, we conclude that the use of phosphatase inhibitors should always be considered in the development of immunohistochemical procedures for new phosphosite-specific GPCR antibodies. In summary, we anticipate that this improved protocol will facilitate the widespread use of phosphorylation state-specific antibodies to monitor the activation of endogenous GPCRs under physiological and pharmacological conditions. Our approach may also prove useful to confirm target engagement of GPCR drug candidates in native tissues.
