Abstract: | In this study we show that the glutamate ionotropic agonist kainate (KA) stimulates the efflux of preloadedd-3H]aspartate (D-3H]Asp) and inhibits the uptake of this amino acid in cerebellar slices. The effect of this agonist on the efflux of D-3H]Asp is sensitive to(i) 6-nitro-7-sulphamoylbenzo(f)quinoxaline-2-3-dione (NBQX), indicating the involvement of KA/(RS)-alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic
acid (AMPA) receptors, and is(ii) partially tetrodotoxin (TTX)-sensitive, indicating that pre-(TTX-insensitive) and post-synaptic (TTX-sensitive) KA/AMPA receptors
are involved. In contrast, the effect on uptake is NBQX- and TTX-insensitive indicating a direct interaction with glutamate
transporters. AMPA inhibited D-3H]Asp uptake and had no effect on D-3H]Asp efflux. In the same system, the uptake but not the efflux of D-3H]Asp was affected by dihydrokainate (DHK). The DHK-induced uptake inhibition occurred in the presence of TTX. NBQX inhibited
DHK-induced effect at 5 mM but not at 1 mM DHK concentrations. |
