Capsaicin has been shown to evoke the release of substance P (SP) from small diameter primary afferent fibers. Using an in vivo perfusion of the rat spinal cord, this study examined the pharmacology of opioid receptor systems which modulate the capsaicin-evoked release of SP. The addition of capsaicin (200 μM) to the perfusate raised SP-like immunoreactivity (SP-LI) from resting levels of 31±5 to 74±14 pg/ml or an increase of 139% above the baseline. Using high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) the identity of the released SP-LI was determined to coelute primarily with authentic SP or the oxidized form of SP. Opioid receptor agonists were added to the perfusate and their ability to inhibit capsaicin-evoked release of SP-LI was assessed. Morphine (10–100 μM), DAGO (1–100 μM), DPLPE (10–100 μM), but not U50488H (100 μM) produced a dose-dependent reduction in the capsaicin-evoked release of SP-LI. Pretreatment with the opioid receptor antagonist naloxone (1 mg/kg, IP) had no effect on the basal or capsaicin-evoked release of SP-LI. Naloxone pretreatment was able to antagonize completely the opioid-produced inhibition of capsaicin-evoked SP-LI release. These data indicate that the release of SP from primary afferent fibers can be modulated by the activation of mu or delta but not kappa opioid receptors. Further, these data support the hypothesis that spinally administered mu and delta opioid agonists may produce their antinociceptive effect through the presynaptic inhibition of neuropeptide release from small diameter primary afferent fibers. 相似文献

This paper describes a method for localization of substance P receptors in the rat central nervous system using 125I labeled substance P in an autoradiographic procedure. Particularly high densities of substance P receptors were observed in the olfactory bulb, dentate gyrus, amygdala, superior colliculus, and locus coeruleus. Surprisingly low densities of substance P receptors were found in the substantia nigra pars reticulata, a region which contains high concentrations of substance P. 相似文献

A comparison of anatomical distributions of substance P (SP) and substance P receptors in the rat central nervous system was performed. SP was localized by microdissection and radioimmunoassay and SP fibers and cell bodies by immunohistochemistry. Receptors for 125I-Bolton Hunter labelled SP (125I-BH-SP) were characterized pharmacologically by a slice binding technique in sections that contained primarily striatum. The receptor was saturable and had an equilibrium dissociation constant (KD) of 0.30 nM and maximum number of binding sites (Bmax) of 37.8 fmol/mg protein. Pharmacological characterization using C terminal fragments and naturally occurring analogues of SP reflected characteristics of the receptor which had been shown previously in bioassays and biochemical assays. Comparison of distribution of SP fibers and cell bodies and SP receptors indicated that there is no consistent relationship between the amount of SP receptor and density of SP fibers or cell bodies in a given region of the brain. 相似文献

Constitutive expression of mRNA was seen for the vesicular glutamate transporter brain-specific Na(+)-dependent inorganic phosphate cotransporter (BNPI), but not differentiation-associated Na(+)-dependent inorganic phosphate cotransporter, in rat calvarial osteoblasts cultured for 7 and 21 days in vitro (DIV). Three different agonists for ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluR) at 1mM, as well as 50mM KCl, significantly increased the release of endogenous L-glutamate from osteoblasts cultured for 7DIV when determined 5 min after the addition by using a high performance liquid chromatograph. The inhibitor of desensitization of DL-alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxasole-4-propionate (AMPA) receptors cyclothiazide significantly potentiated and prolonged the release of endogenous L-glutamate evoked by AMPA in a dose-dependent manner. The release evoked by AMPA was significantly prevented by the addition of an AMPA receptor antagonist as well as by the removal of Ca(2+) ions. These results suggest that endogenous L-glutamate could be released from intracellular vesicular constituents associated with BNPI through activation of particular iGluR subtypes expressed in cultured rat calvarial osteoblasts. 相似文献

The central distribution of intradental afferent nerve fibers was investigated by combining electron microscopic observations with a selective method for inducing degeneration of the A delta- and C-type afferent fibers. Degenerating terminals were found on the proprioceptive mesencephalic trigeminal neurons and on dendrites in the neuropil of the trigeminal motor nucleus after application of capsaicin to the rat's lower incisor tooth pulp. The results give anatomical evidence of new sites of central projection of intradental A delta- and C-type fibers whereby the nociceptive information from the tooth pulp can affect jaw muscle activity. 相似文献

Distinct classes of substance P receptors revealed by a comparison of the activities of substance P and some of its segments 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The contracting potency of Substance P and of its C-terminal fragments was studied using four isolated preparations of smooth muscle. The Substance P receptors in the four muscles studied can be differentiated on the basis of their interactions with Substance P and its C-terminal fragments. On the guinea pig ileum, the potency of Substance P is equal to that of the C-terminal octa- and heptapeptide segments and in the rat ileum the potency of Substance P is equal to that of the C-terminal octapeptide and even higher than that of the heptapeptide. In contrast, on the cow pupillary sphincter and guinea pig urinary bladder, Substance P is markedly less potent that the C-terminal octa-, hepta- and hexapeptides. These results suggest the existence of different classes of Substance P receptors and indicate that the N-terminal sequence may be important in regulating Substance P activity. 相似文献

The structural similarity between substance P (SP, Arg-Pro-Lys-Pro-Gln-Gln-Phe-Phe-Gly-Leu-Met-NH(2)) and Arg/Pro rich bactericidal peptides suggests a possible direct effect of SP on invasive microbes. We now present evidence that substance P possesses direct antimicrobial activity, highest against S. aureus. A substance P antagonist also possesses such activity but while less potent than substance P agonist S. aureus, is more potent than substance P against C. albicans. Our data also show that the endogenous peptides bradykinin and neurotensin, that also play role in modulation of the host-defense system in situ, have antimicrobial properties but are less potent than substance P. 相似文献

突触前代谢型谷氨酸受体调节神经递质的释放 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
谷氨酸通过激活离子型受体(iGluR)介导快速兴奋性突触传递,参与脑内几乎所有生理过程。谷氨酸过量释放可导致与脑缺血,缺氧及变性疾病有关的兴奋毒作用,最终引起神经元的死亡。代谢型谷氨酸受体(mGluRs)是一个与G-蛋白偶联的受体家族,分三型共八个亚型。其中Ⅱ和Ⅲ型mGluRs主要位于突触前,发挥对谷氨酸释放的负反馈调节。Ⅲ型mGluRs中的mGluR7位于谷氨酸能末梢突触前膜的活性区,发挥自身受体的作用,对正常情况下突触传递过程的谷氨酸释放进行负反馈调节;而属于Ⅱ型的mGluR2及属于Ⅲ型的mGluR4和mGluR8,则位于远离突有膜活性区的外突触区,因而正常突触传递过程中释放的谷氨酸量不能激活它们。只有在突触传递增强的情况下才被激活,抑制递质的释放。国外,mGluRs还分布在GABA能纤维末梢,通过突触前机制抑制GABA的释放。对突触前膜受体尤其是位于外突触区的mGluRs受体的研究,将有可能开发出理想的工具药,从而预防和阻止谷氨酸过量释放引起的神经毒及神经元的死亡。 相似文献

Previous in vitro studies have shown that group III metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) regulate synaptic glutamate release. The present study used microdialysis to characterize this regulation in vivo in rat nucleus accumbens. Reverse dialysis of the group III mGluR agonist l-(+)-2-amino-4-phosphonobutyric acid (L-AP4) decreased, whereas the antagonist (R,S)-alpha-methylserine-O-phosphate (MSOP) increased the extracellular level of glutamate. The decrease by L-AP4 or the increase by MSOP was antagonized by co-administration of MSOP or L-AP4, respectively. Activation of mGluR4a by (1S,3R,4S)-1-aminocyclopentane-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid or mGluR6 by 2-amino-4-(3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazol-4-yl)butyric acid had no effect on extracellular glutamate. (R,S)-4-Phosphonophenylglycine (PPG), another group III agonist with high affinity for mGluR4/6/8, reduced extracellular glutamate only at high concentrations capable of binding to mGluR7. The increase in extracellular glutamate by MSOP was tetrodotoxin-independent, and resistant to both the L-type and N-type Ca2+ channel blockers. L-AP4 failed to block 30 mm K+-induced vesicular glutamate release. Blockade of glutamate uptake by d,l-threo-beta-benzyloxyaspartate caused a Ca2+-independent elevation in extracellular glutamate that was reversed by L-AP4. Finally, (S)-4-carboxyphenylglycine, an inhibitor of cystine-glutamate antiporters, attenuated the L-AP4-induced reduction in extracellular glutamate. Together, these data indicate that group III mGluRs regulate in vivo extracellular glutamate in the nucleus accumbens by inhibiting non-vesicular glutamate release. 相似文献

Morphine produces a multiphasic modulation of K+-evoked substance P release from trigeminal slices and dorsal root ganglion neurons in culture. We now found that the C-fiber stimulant, capsaicin (1 M), evoked release of substance P that was inhibited, enhanced and inhibited by 0.1 nM, 1 M, and 10 M morphine, respectively. This morphine's multiphasic effect was blocked by naloxone (100 nM). Neonatal treatment with capsaicin produced thermal hypoalgesia and abolished the multiphasic effect of morphine on substance P release evoked by 50 mM K+. These findings suggest that the multiphasic modulation of substance P release by morphine is dependent on C-type afferents and may be of relevance to nociception. 相似文献

Newborn or adult rats were pretreated with 50 mg kg-1 capsaicin. At the age of 2 to 4 months, binding of 125I-labelled Tyr8-substance P to synaptic vesicles prepared from different regions of the nervous system was examined. In both groups, capsaicin pretreatment led to a significant decrease in the number of binding sites in dorsal roots and spinal cord without having an effect on affinity. This decrease parallels the depletion of the substance P content (Gamse et al., 1980) and can be explained by degeneration of primary sensory neurons in newborn treated rats and by depletion of vesicles in adult treated rats. 相似文献

Summary The localization and origin of substance P (SP)-, neuropeptide Y (NPY)-, and noradrenaline/tyrosine hydroxylase (NA/TH)-immunoreactive (IR) nerves in the guinea-pig heart were investigated by means of immunohistochemistry; quantitative analysis was performed by radioimmunoassay (NPY) and high performance liquid chromatography (NA). Both untreated animals and animals subjected to stellatectomy, combined stellatectomy and local capsaicin pretreatment of the vagal nerves or systemic application of capsaicin were studied. A dense network of SP-IR nerves was observed in the right atrium in different locations: (1) around local cardiac ganglion cells, (2) close to blood vessels, (3) within the myocardium, and (4) close to and within peri and endocardium.A moderately dense SP-innervation, mainly related to blood vessels, was found in the ventricles. Very dense networks of NPY and TH-IR nerve fibers with an overlapping distributional pattern around blood vessels and in the myocardium were seen in both the atria and the ventricles. In addition, some cell bodies in local cardiac ganglia were NPY-IR. Bilateral stellatectomy resulted in a reduction of SP-IR in the right atrium (55% of control), which was more pronounced after additional capsaicin pretreatment of the vagal nerves (44% of control).In the left ventricle no significant depletion of SP-IR was seen by either stellatectomy or combined stellatectomy and capsaicin treatment of the vagal nerves. It was not possible to establish any defined target areas within the heart for vagal or spinal SP-IR afferents by use of immunohistochemical methods. Systemic capsaicin treatment caused a total loss of SP-IR nerves in the heart. After bilateral stellatectomy the levels of NPY-IR and NA were reduced to about 10% of control in both the right atrium and left ventricle. In accordance, NPY and TH-IR nerves were also almost totally absent in the heart after bilateral stellatectomy. 相似文献

The G protein-coupled metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors are differentially localized at various synapses throughout the brain. Depending on the receptor subtype, they appear to be localized at presynaptic and/or postsynaptic sites, including glial as well as neuronal elements. The heterogeneous distribution of these receptors on glutamate and nonglutamate neurons/cells thus allows modulation of synaptic transmission by a number of different mechanisms. Electrophysiological studies have demonstrated that the activation of mGlu receptors can modulate the activity of Ca(2+) or K(+) channels, or interfere with release processes downstream of Ca(2+) entry, and consequently regulate neuronal synaptic activity. Such changes evoked by mGlu receptors can ultimately regulate transmitter release at both glutamatergic and nonglutamatergic synapses. Increasing neurochemical evidence has emerged, obtained from in vitro and in vivo studies, showing modulation of the release of a variety of transmitters by mGlu receptors. This review addresses the neurochemical evidence for mGlu receptor-mediated regulation of neurotransmitters, such as excitatory and inhibitory amino acids, monoamines, and neuropeptides. 相似文献

Although growing evidence suggests that extracellular ATP might play roles in the control of astrocyte/neuron crosstalk in the CNS by acting on P2X7 receptors, it is still unclear whether neuronal functions can be attributed to P2X7 receptors. In the present paper, we investigate the location, pharmacological profile, and function of P2X7 receptors on cerebrocortical nerve terminals freshly prepared from adult rats, by measuring glutamate release and calcium accumulation. The preparation chosen (purified synaptosomes) ensures negligible contamination of non-neuronal cells and allows exposure of 'nude' release-regulating pre-synaptic receptors. To confirm the results obtained, we also carried out specific experiments on human embryonic kidney 293 cells which had been stably transfected with rat P2X7 receptors. Together, our findings suggest that (i) P2X7 receptors are present in a subpopulation of adult rat cerebrocortical nerve terminals; (ii) P2X7 receptors are localized on glutamatergic nerve terminals; (iii) P2X7 receptors play a significant role in ATP-evoked glutamate efflux, which involves Ca2+ -dependent vesicular release; and (iv) the P2X7 receptor itself constitutes a significant Ca2+ -independent mode of exit for glutamate. 相似文献

Glutamate receptors are the major excitatory neurotransmitter receptors in the central nervous system. A variety of data has recently suggested that protein phosphorylation of glutamate receptors regulates their function. To examine at a molecular level the role of protein phosphorylation in the modification of glutamate receptors, we have transiently expressed the non-NMDA glutamate receptor subunit GluR1 (flop) in human embryonic kidney 293 cells. Using a polyclonal antipeptide antiserum directed specifically against GluR1, we have immunoprecipitated a 106 kDa phosphoprotein corresponding to the GluR1 subunit. Phosphoamino acid analysis and thermolytic peptide mapping demonstrate that this basal phosphorylation occurs exclusively on serine residues in two phosphopeptides. Application of activators of endogenous cAMP-dependent protein kinase or protein kinase C revealed no consistant changes in the phosphorylation of GluR1. However, coexpression of the GluR1 subunit with the well characterized protein tyrosine kinase v-src results in phosphorylation of GluR1 on tyrosine residues, in a single thermolytic phosphopeptide. These results suggest that GluR1 may be a substrate for protein serine/threonine kinases as well as protein tyrosine kinases in the central nervous system.Abbreviations AMPA

Summary Substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide were immunohistochemically identified in axons innervating the cornea and the ureter of adult rats and pigeons. The two neuropeptides were similarly distributed in both species. Capsaicin pretreatment induced depletion of the immunoreactivity; this was quantitatively and qualitatively different in rats and pigeons. Topical application of capsaicin (1%) reduced the immunoreactivity in the cornea in both species by 50%. Systemic capsaicin treatment completely depleted both peptides from the corneal innervation of rats but reduced the peptide content only by 50% in the cornea of pigeons. In the ureter of rats, capsaicin pretreatment completely depleted the peptide immunoreactivity. In pigeons the peptide depletion was only complete in the outer longitudinal muscle layer. Whereas only a few immunoreactive fibres were observed in the circular muscle layer, about 50% of the peptide remained in the inner longitudinal muscle layer. The results demonstrate that peptidergic afferents in the cornea and ureter of pigeons are sensitive to capsaicin, although birds do not show nociceptive responses to local administration of the drug. The long-term depletion of substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide by capsaicin is discussed with regard to the possibility that functionally capsaicin receptors may exist in the axon but not at nerve endings.Part of the thesis of Gerhard Harti, to be presented to the Fachbereich Biologie, Justus-Liebig-Universität, Giessen 相似文献

Capsaicin was given subcutaneously to guinea pigs and the effect on substance P-immunoreactive (SP-I) fibers in the celiac/superior mesenteric and inferior mesenteric ganglia was observed at 2 day and 8–10 day intervals. Capsaicin (125 mg) treatment led to almost total disappearance of SP-I fibers from all areas examined in both short- and long-term animals. This effect applied equally to the dense network of varicose SP-I fibers and to basket-like SP-I contacts with principal ganglionic neurons. The effect of capsaicin on SP-I fibers in the mesenteric ganglia provides a strong indication that these fibers represent a homogenous population of visceral sensory afferents. This is supported by other lines of anatomical evidence in the literature. Taken together with studies that have shown axodendritic contact of SP-I terminals on principal ganglionic neurons and neuro-modulatory effects of SP on these neurons, it may be hypothesized that SP-I fibers in the mesenteric ganglia represent collaterals of visceral sensory afferents forming a subspinal feedback arc. 相似文献

Bioenergy homeostasis is crucial in maintaining normal cell function and survival and it is thus important to understand cellular mechanisms underlying its regulation. Neurons use a large amount of ATP to maintain membrane potential and synaptic communication, making the brain the most energy consuming organ in the body. Glutamate mediates a large majority of synaptic transmission which is responsible for the expression of neural plasticity and higher brain functions. Most of the energy cost is attributable to the glutamatergic system; under pathological conditions such as stroke and brain ischemia, neural energy depletion is accompanied by a massive release of glutamate. However, the specific cellular processes implicated in glutamate-dependent bioenergy dynamics are not well understood. We find that glutamate induces a rapid and dramatic reduction of ATP levels in neurons, through reduced ATP genesis and elevated consumption. ATP reduction depends on NMDA receptor activity, but is not a result of neuronal firing, gap junction-mediated leaking or intracellular signaling. Similar changes in ATP levels are also induced by synaptic glutamate accumulation following suppression of glutamate transporter activity. Furthermore, the glutamate-induced ATP down-regulation is blocked by the sodium pump inhibitor ouabain, suggesting the sodium pump as the primary energy consumer during glutamate stimulation. These data suggest the important role of glutamate in the control of cellular ATP homeostasis. 相似文献

Gradient elution reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic and capillary electrophoretic separations were optimised to separate substance P (SP) and twelve of its fragments. The methods were applied to a study of the in vivo metabolism of substance P in the rat after intrastriatal injection of the peptide (10 nmol). SP and significant amounts of its N-terminal fragments, SP(1-7) and SP(1-4), were detected but no major C-terminal fragments could be identified. At the concentration studied, the metabolism of SP was shown to follow zero order elimination kinetics with a rate of decay of 0.2 nmol/min. As we have shown that SP(1–4) and SP(1–7) can be produced in vivo in the striatum in relatively large amounts, it is conceivable that these fragments contribute to the overall pharmacological pattern of activity of the parent peptide. 相似文献
