Amiloride attenuates glycine-induced currents in cultured neurons of rat inferior colliculus

Amiloride, a potassium sparing diuretic, is well known to interact with many ion transport systems and modulate the activity of several membrane receptors. However, relatively little information is available as to how amiloride affects membrane receptors of neurons in the brain areas. In the present study, we investigated the effects of amiloride on glycine-induced currents (I(Gly)) in cultured neurons of rat inferior colliculus with whole-cell patch-clamp recordings. Amiloride itself did not activate any current across the neuronal membrane but it reversibly inhibited the amplitude of the I(Gly) in a reversible and concentration-dependent manner, with an IC(50) of 487.4+/-25.3microM (n=5). Amiloride shifted the concentration-response relationship to the right without changing Hill coefficient and without changing the maximum response of the I(Gly). The pre-perfusion of amiloride produced an inhibitory effect on the I(Gly). In addition, amiloride was shown with a voltage ramp protocol to significantly reduce the conductance induced by glycine but not to change the reversal potential of the I(Gly). These results demonstrate that amiloride competitively inhibits the I(Gly) in rat inferior colliculus neurons by decreasing the affinity of glycine to its receptor. Our finding suggests that attention should be paid to the possible side effects of amiloride used as a drug on brain functions in the case of a defective blood-brain barrier and in the case of direct application of this drug into the cerebrospinal fluid for treatment of brain tumors.

GABAergic mechanisms in the electrophysiological actions of ethanol on cerebellar neurons

We have found that the partial inverse benzodiazepine agonists Ro 15-4513 and FG 7142 antagonize the depressant electrophysiologial effects of locally applied ethanol in the cerebellum. Although absolute tissue concentrations are not known, dose-response curves constructed using pressure-ejection doses as previously described (31, 25) we found that FG 7142 was more efficacious, but less potent than Ro 15-4513. Our observation that ethanol and inverse benzodiazepine agonists have interactions which are not competitive might suggest that these two drugs act through separate, but interactive mechanisms in order to produce the observed ethanol antagonism. If such independent interactions were mediated at different sites on a given macromolecular complex, such as the GABA_a/Cl^– channel, then one might expect to find allosteric interactions between those sites as well as with the functional response of the complex to GABA activation. Indeed, this hypothesis is consistent with the recent finding of Harris and collaborators that ethanol potentiates the inverse agonist actions of Ro 15-4513 and FG 7142. On the other hand, we were unable to find large ethanol-induced potentiations of GABA effects on all neurons which showed depressant responses to ethanol administration in rat cerebellum. However we did find that the GABA_a antagonist, bicuculline, blocks the depressant effects of ethanol on the same neurons. We conclude that the interaction between ethanol and GABA probably does not occur directly at the GABA_a receptor site, but that the GABA_a mechanism does play a permissive role in the ethanol-induced depressions of cerebellar Purkinje neurons. Thus, although a postsynaptic GABA_a mechanism may not be the primary locus of action at which ethanol causes depressant electrophysiological responses of neurons, activation of the GABA_a receptor may be required to make cerebellar Purkinje neurons responsive to the depressant actions of ethanol. Further investigations will be required to determine the pre vs postsynaptic nature of this interaction of ethanol with the GABA mechanism of action.Special issue dedicated to Dr. Erminio Costa     

Taurine-activated currents in isolated neurons of the rat cerebellum

Taurine-activated currents were investigated in rat cerebellar neurons using techniques of voltage clamping at the membrane and intracellular perfusion. Activation of both chloride and calcium conductance at the membrane were produced by applying taurine to the membrane surface. The dose-response curve for taurine-activated current is in the 1×10^–4–1×10^–1 M concentration region. The dissociation constant of the taurine-receptor complex equals 2×10^–3 M. Activation of taurine-induced currents is a cooperative process: Hill's coefficient –2. It was found that bicuculline and strychnine exert a blocking action on taurine-activated currents, while pentobarbital and oxazepam potentiate taurine action.A. A.

Modulation of the enkephalinergic phenotype of rat sympathetic neurons by hormonal and transynaptic mechanisms

Most sympathetic neurons contain one or more neuropeptides in addition to catecholamines. Although the regulation of catecholamines has been studied extensively, comparatively little is known about the regulation of neuropeptides. Since glucocorticoids and preganglionic innervation regulate catecholaminergic properties in chromaffin cells, we examined the effects of these factors on a co-localized neuropeptide, leucine enkephalin (L-Enk), in adult rat sympathetic neurons in vivo. Lowered serum glucocorticoid levels as a consequence of bilateral adrenalectomy resulted in a reduction of ganglionic L-Enk content that was reversed by exposure of adrenalectomized animals to the synthetic glucocorticoid, dexamethasone. Surgical denervation of the SCG eliminated L-Enk-IR preganglionic fibers and caused a dramatic increase in the number of L-Enk-IR neurons. Inhibition of the enkephalinergic component of the preganglionic innervation by chronic exposure to the opiate receptor antagonist naloxone increases the number of L-Enk-IR cell bodies and total ganglionic L-Enk content. None of the experimental manipulations noticeably altered the number or distribution of NPY-IR neurons, suggesting that the effects of glucocorticoids and the innervation on ganglionic L-Enk levels were specific and not simply an alteration of the biosynthetic state of the cells. These results demonstrate that circulating glucocorticoids and the preganglionic innervation regulate L-Enk levels in sympathetic neurons. Since both glucocorticoid levels and preganglionic activity are known to be altered by stressful stimuli, acute regulation of sympathetic L-Enk levels may constitute an important component of the autonomic response to stress. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
