    Sigma-2 receptor agonists have been shown to induce cell death via caspase-dependent and caspase-independent pathways. Unfortunately, there is little information regarding the molecular function of sigma-2 receptors that can explain these results. In this study, two fluorescent probes, SW107 and K05-138, were used to study the subcellular localization of sigma-2 receptors by two-photon and confocal microscopy. The results indicate that sigma-2 receptors colocalize with fluorescent markers of mitochondria, lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, and the plasma membrane in both EMT-6 mouse and MDA-MB-435 human breast cancer cells. The fluorescent probe, K05-138, was internalized rapidly, reaching a plateau of fluorescent intensity at 5 min. The internalization of K05-138 was reduced approximately 40% by phenylarsine oxide, an inhibitor of endocytosis. These data suggest that sigma-2 ligands are internalized, in part, by an endocytotic pathway. The localization of sigma-2 receptors in several organelles known to have a role in both caspase-dependent and caspase-independent pathways of cell death supports the conclusions of previous studies suggesting that sigma-2 receptor ligands should be evaluated as potential cancer chemotherapeutic agents.
