Polarographic Measurements of Spontaneous and Mitochondria-Promoted Oxidation of 5,6-and 5,7-Dihydroxytryptamine 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Abstract: Spontaneous oxygen consumption by 5,6- and 5,7-DHT (dihydroxytryptamine), related indoleethylamines, and 6-hydroxydopamine and oxygen consumption by these compounds in the presence of rat liver mitochondria were measured by the polarographic oxygen electrode technique. 5,6- and 5,7-DHT react with oxygen at very different rates (2.7 nmol O2/min and 33.4 nmol O2/min, respectively) when incubated in buffer, pH 7.2, at a concentration of 1 mm and with different kínetic characteristics. While the oxidation of 5,7-DHT obeys a reaction of second-order type, the oxidation of 5,6-DHT is more complex and characterized by autocatalytic promotion. Coloured quinoidal oxidation products appeared during the degradation of both indoleamines. Glutathione, ascorbate, dithiothreitol, cysteine, albumin, and superoxide dismutase partially prevented 5,6- and 5,7-DHT from oxidative destruction. Catalase saved oxygen only in the case of 5,6-DHT by recycling of O2 released from near-stoichiometrically formed H2O2 during oxidation of 5,6-DHT: 5,7-DHT did not generate H2O2 in measurable amounts. Oxygen consumption rates of 5,6- and 5,7-DHT were enhanced after addition of rat liver mitochondria to the incubation medium; this resulted in an accelerated formation of quinoidal products. This stimulatory effect on the oxidation rates of both 5,6- and 5,7-DHT was blocked by cyanide, but not rotenone, and was abolished by boiling of the mitochondria fraction. The observed increase in oxygen consumption in the presence of mitochondria was found not to be influenced by monoamine oxidase-dependent deamination of 5,6- and 5,7-DHT. It is postulated that 5,6- and 5,7-DHT are capable of participating in the electron transfer of the mitochondrial respiration chain beyond complex III. Results obtained in determinations of ADP:0 ratios in respiratory control experiments exclude a possible interference of 5,6-DHT, 5,7-DHT, and 6-OH-DA with phosphorylating sites. During the activated state of respiration, no signs of electron transfer inhibition by 5,6- and 5,7-DHT were detectable. A comparison and evaluation of the autoxidation rates of various hydroxylated indoleethylamines, of their affinity to the 5-HT transport sites, and their neurotoxic potency in vivo reveals that interaction of these compounds with oxygen at restricted reaction velocity is a prerequisite for efficient toxicity in monoaminergic neurons following active accumulation in these neurons via the high-affinity uptake systems. 相似文献

The immediate and long-term effects of the selective serotonergic neurotoxin 5,7-dihydroxytryp-tamine (5,7-DHT) on rat striatal serotonergic neurons were examined after its intracerebroventricular administration using in vivo voltammetry. Extracellular concentration of 5-hydroxyindoles increased immediately following intracerebroventricular 5,7-DHT injection (200 g in 24 l, 18 min), peaked at 1.5-2 h, and returned to normal by 4 h. 5,7-DHT diffused to the contralateral striatum in detectable amounts 9 to 12 min after the start of injection and returned to basal levels by 1.5 h. Three to 6 days after 5,7-DHT lesions, 5-hydroxytryptophan administration produced an increase in striatal 5-hydroxyindoles that was greater than that produced in pre-lesioned rats. This effect was maximal at 14 to 17 days post-lesion, and remained even after 50 days. The short-term effect of 5,7-DHT may be attributable to increased serotonin release, inhibition of uptake, or monoamine oxidase inhibition. The long-term effect of 5,7-DHT lesions may attributable to increased synthesis of serotonin or decreased reuptake in remaining serotonergic neurons. 相似文献

The cricket, Gryllus bimaculatus, shows a rhythm reversal from diurnal to nocturnal in about a week after the imaginal molt. In the present study, we investigated the role of serotonin (5-HT) in the rhythm reversal. The 5-HT content in the brain measured by HPLC equipped with an electrochemical detector gradually increased after the imaginal molt, and in fully nocturnal adults it was about 2 times of nymphal level. We then examined the effects of 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine (5,7-DHT), a selective neurotoxine to serotonergic neurons, on the locomotor rhythm. In most animals with 5,7-DHT (25 muM or 250 muM, 32.2 nl) injected into the brain, daytime activity significantly increased even after the rhythm reversal, while nighttime activity was not significantly affected, forming rather diurnal pattern. The serotonin content in the brain of animals injected with 250 muM 5,7-DHT was reduced by about 30%. On the basis of these results, possible involvement of 5-HT in the neural mechanism controlling the locomotor rhythm is discussed. 相似文献

The effects of drugs interacting with the GABAA/benzodiazepine chloride ionophore receptor complex (GABAA/BDZ-RC) on the anticonflict and biochemical effects observed after intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) administration of 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine (5,7-DHT; 450 micrograms -14 days) were investigated in the rat using a modified Vogel's drinking conflict test. The GABAergic antagonistic drugs bicuculline, picrotoxin and Ro 15-4513 all counteracted the 5,7-DHT induced anxiolytic-like action in doses that did not alter the behavior per se, whereas flumazenil was ineffective in this respect. Also i.c.v. administration of 5-HT antagonized the 5,7-DHT induced anticonflict effect. Furthermore, 5,7-DHT-lesioned animals appeared more sensitive to the anticonflict effects of diazepam than sham-lesioned controls. The 5,7-DHT treatment produced marked depletions of 5-HT in the limbic system (80-90%) and hippocampus (90-95%), and an increase in the 5-HIAA/5-HT quotient in hippocampus. The effects on the levels of noradrenaline were comparatively small. The doses of bicuculline and picrotoxin antagonizing the 5,7-DHT induced anticonflict effect did not uniformly influence 5-HT levels or 5-HIAA/5-HT quotients. It is suggested that the anxiolytic-like effect observed in 5,7-DHT-lesioned rats in Vogel's drinking conflict test involves enhanced transmission at the GABAA/BDZ-RC. 相似文献

Dexfenfluramine (dF) and dexnorfenfluramine (dNF), its metabolite, are anorectic agents that release serotonin (5-HT) and may have a direct postsynaptic action. The effects on the anorectic effects of dF and dNF of either acute (p-chlorophenylalanine, PCPA) or chronic (5,7-dihydroxytryptamine, 5,7-DHT) brain 5-HT depletions were studied in rats and compared with the actions of a 5-HT uptake inhibitor (fluoxetine) and 5-HT(1B/2C) receptor agonists [1-(3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-piperazine and 1-(3-chlorophenyl) piperazine]. The anorexia caused by these agonists was enhanced in rats with 5,7-DHT lesions, possibly a result of receptor supersensitivity. In contrast, fluoxetine anorexia was somewhat reduced in one study and was unchanged in a second. Both dF and dNF anorexias were enhanced in rats with 5,7-DHT lesions. In contrast, the anorectic effects of either dF or dNF were unchanged in PCPA-treated rats relative to controls. Compared with controls, 5, 7-DHT-lesion rats showed greatly increased dF- and dNF-induced Fos-like immunoreactivity (ir) in the paraventricular (PVN) and supraoptic (SON) hypothalamic nuclei, and in the median preoptic area (MnPO), but were similar to controls in most other areas. PCPA pretreatment increased dF- and dNF-induced Fos-ir in the PVN, SON, and MnPO. In controls, equianorectic doses of dF and dNF induced Fos-ir in similar brain regions, but dNF produced relatively larger effects than dF in SON, PVN, and MnPO. The data are discussed in terms of multiple pathways in the anorectic actions of dF and dNF. 相似文献

Effects of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) and 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine (5,7-DHT) on striatal levels of dopamine (DA), 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), and their metabolites, as well as on locomotor activity were investigated in C57BL/6 mice. The results showed that MPTP significantly increased locomotor activity and decreased striatal DA levels. However, injection of the serotonergic neurotoxin 5,7-DHT in the striatum, either alone or following high doses of MPTP, significantly decreased locomotor activity, and concomitantly decreased striatal levels of 5-HT and 5-HIAA. This study suggests that the increased locomotor activity may be due to increased striatal serotonergic activity which overcompensates for the DA deficiency. The locomotor hypoactivity, induced by 5,7-DHT, might be due to the decreased striatal levels of 5-HT and 5-HIAA. 相似文献

The effects of chronic (14 day) administration of the tricyclic antidepressant imipramine, the serotonin-2 (5-HT2) antagonist ketanserin, and the serotonin agonist quipazine on 5-HT2 receptor binding parameters and 5-HT2-mediated behavior were examined in rats with or without prior serotonergic denervation [via 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine (5,7-DHT)] or noradrenergic denervation [via N-(2-chloroethyl)-N-ethyl-2-bromobenzylamine (DSP4)]. Chronic administration of imipramine, ketanserin, or quipazine produced a marked reduction in the number of 5-HT2 binding sites which was accompanied by reductions in the 5-HT2-mediated quipazine-induced head shake response. In animals receiving DSP4 or 5,7-DHT lesions and continuous vehicle treatment, beta-adrenergic receptor binding sites were significantly up-regulated while 5-HT2 receptor binding sites did not change. Imipramine normalized the lesion-induced increases in beta-adrenergic binding observed in DSP4 and 5,7-DHT-lesioned rats but failed to down-regulate beta-adrenergic binding sites below non-lesioned control levels. Chronic imipramine, ketanserin, and quipazine reduced quipazine-induced head shakes and down-regulated 5-HT2 binding sites in rats with noradrenergic denervation. While imipramine, ketanserin, and quipazine all down-regulated 5-HT2 binding sites in animals with serotonergic denervation, only imipramine's ability to reduce quipazine-induced head shakes was attenuated in 5,7-DHT-lesioned rats. The present results suggest that imipramine-induced down-regulation of 5-HT2 receptors may not involve presynaptic 5-HT mechanisms, and imipramine-induced alterations in 5-HT2 sensitivity as reflected in the quipazine-induced head shake may, in part, be influenced by beta-adrenergic receptors. 相似文献

The analgesic effect of morphine in the tail immersion test was studied in rats three and ten days after intracerebroventricular 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine (5,7-DHT) given to selectively destroy serotonergic neurons. Morphine analgesia was reduced three but not ten days after the neurotoxin. Ten days after 5,7-DHT, the inhibiting effect of metergoline, a serotonin antagonist, on morphine analgesia was still present, suggesting that functional recovery of the serotonergic system may partly explain the different results. 相似文献

The isolation of 20α-hydroperoxy-5-pregnen-3β-ol and its 20β-isomer from air aged cholesterol is described. The structures of these new steroids are deducted from their physicochemical properties and confirmed by borohydride reduction to the known epimeric 5-pregnene-3β, 20-diols. Formation of the 20α-hydroperoxy-5-pregnen-3β-ol during the autoxidation process is suggested to result from the interaction of molecular oxygen with a 3β-hydroxy-5-pregnen-20α-yl radical, a specie which may be formed upon decomposition of the 25-hydroperoxy-5-cholesten-3β-ol. Formation of the 20β-hydroperoxy-epimer is shown to result partially from isomerization of the 20α-hydroperoxy-5-pregnen-3β-ol. Thermal decomposition of both isomers gives pregnenolone (3β-hydroxy-5-pregnen-20-one) as the major product together with the corresponding 5-pregnene-3β, 20-diol, 5-androsten-3β-ol and a small amount of 5-androstene-3β, 17β-diol and 5, 16-androstadien-3β-ol. Incubation of either hydroperoxide with adrenocortex microsomal and mitochondrial preparations gave pregnenolone and the corresponding steroid alcohol as the sole products. These results are discussed in comparison with the earlier reported studies on the 20α-hydroperoxy-5-cholesten-3β-ol and in terms of the possible role of steroid hydroperoxides as transit species in the biogenesis of steroid hormones. 相似文献

The biogenic amine serotonin [5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)] has received considerable attention for its role in behavioral phenomena throughout a broad range of invertebrate and vertebrate taxa. Acute 5-HT infusion decreases the likelihood of crayfish to retreat from dominant opponents. The present study reports the biochemical and behavioral effects resulting from chronic treatment with 5-HT-modifying compounds delivered for up to 5 weeks via silastic tube implants. High performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection (HPLC-ED) confirmed that 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine (5,7-DHT) effectively reduced 5-HT in all central nervous system (CNS) areas, except brain, while a concurrent accumulation of the compound was observed in all tissues analyzed. Unexpectedly, two different rates of chronic 5-HT treatment did not increase levels of the amine in the CNS. Behaviorally, 5,7-DHT treated crayfish exhibited no significant differences in measures of aggression. Although treatment with 5-HT did not elevate 5-HT content in the CNS, infusion at a slow rate caused animals to escalate more quickly while 5-HT treatment at a faster rate resulted in slower escalation. 5,7-DHT is commonly used in behavioral pharmacology and the present findings suggest its biochemical properties should be more thoroughly examined. Moreover, the apparent presence of powerful compensatory mechanisms indicates our need to adopt an increasingly dynamic view of the serotonergic bases of behavior like crayfish aggression. 相似文献

Rats with unilateral 5,7-DHT lesions, but not 5,6-DHT lesions, showed rotational responses to 5-HTergic drugs (5MeODMT and fenfluramine) that were qualitatively similar to those induced by DAergic drugs (apomorphine and amphetamine) after 6-OHDA lesions. However, 5,7-DHT-lesioned rats also themselves showed rotational responses to DAergic drugs. The merits and limitations of a unilateral 5,7-DHT-lesioned rotating rat model for studying 5-HTergic function are discussed. It is suggested that 5-HT and DA may function in a co-operative manner in the striatum. These findings may be important for the rational pharmacotherapy of Parkinson's disease in which 5-HT as well as DA has been shown to be substantially depleted. 相似文献

We have recently reported that the anxiolytic-like effect observed in rats severely depleted of brain serotonin (5-HT) by means of 5,7-DHT is indirect and probably involves the GABA(A)/benzodiazepine chloride ionophore receptor complex (GABAA/BDZ-RC). One tentative explanation for this effect considered the involvement of corticosteroids. In the present series of experiments we have therefore investigated the effect of adrenalectomy (ADX) on the 5,7-DHT-induced anxiolytic-like effect displayed by rats in Vogel's conflict test. ADX totally abolished the anticonflict effect of the 5,7-DHT lesion. Replacement treatment with corticosterone, but not with dexamethasone, reinstated the anticonflict effect. These results indicate that an intact adrenocortical function, possibly via brain steroid type I receptors, is required for the expression of the 5,7-DHT-induced anxiolytic-like effect. It is postulated that ADX lowers the concentration of endogenous positive modulators at the GABAA/BDZ-RC to a level no longer sufficient to produce anxiolytic-like effects in 5,7-DHT-lesioned animals. The finding that 5,7-DHT-lesioned animals were more sensitive than sham-lesioned controls to the anticonflict effect of the barbiturate-like corticosteroid THDOC provides further support for the contention that an increased endogenous activity at the GABAA/BDZ-RCes is involved in the anxiolytic-like effect observed in rats with a severe depletion of brain 5-HT. 相似文献

The effect of direct 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine (5,7-DHT) injection into the medulla region of the optic lobe on the locomotor activity was investigated in the adult male cricket, Gryllus bimaculatus. After a 6 hr phase advance of a light-dark cycle, the 5,7-DHT injected animals needed significantly longer time for resynchronization to the new cycle (6.55 +/- 0.62 days) than the control, Ringer's solution injected animals (3.17 +/- 0.15 days; P < 0.001, t-test). Light induced a bout of activity (i.e., masking effect) when light-dark cycle was phase advanced by 6 hr and the duration of the masking effect was significantly longer in 5,7-DHT injected animals. An initial bout of the nocturnal activity was significantly greater in the 5,7-DHT injected animal. Under constant darkness, the freerunning periods of both groups were not significantly different. Under constant light, a significantly higher percentage of 5,7-DHT injected animals showed arrhythmicity compared with the control group. An analysis carried by high-pressure liquid chromatography with electro-chemical detection (HPLC-ECD) revealed that the serotonin content in the optic lobe was significantly reduced to less than 50% in the 5,7-DHT injected animals, even one month after the injection. These results suggest that serotonin plays important roles in the regulation of circadian locomotor rhythms of the cricket mainly by regulating the sensitivity of the photoreceptive system. 相似文献

The concentrations of 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine (5,7-DHT) and serotonin (5-HT) were measured in brainstem, hypothalamus and cerebral cortex 0, 2, 6, 12, and 24 hours following the bilateral, lateral ventricular injection of 5,7-DHT (100 g/each ventricle) into adult male rats. At 6 hours, 5,7-DHT levels had decreased 99% from 0 hr values in all brain regions. Thereafter, 5,7-DHT levels continued to decline in cortex, but not in hypothalamus or brainstem; at 24 hr, but not 48 hr, 5,7-DHT peaks were still measurable in each brain region examined. Serotonin levels in all three regions also fell markedly by 2-6 hours after 5,7-DHT administration. At 24 hours, hypothalamus and brainstem 5HT levels had declined >70% and cerebral cortex 50% below control values. The relevance of these findings to the protective action of monoamine reuptake blockers is discussed. 相似文献

Spectral data provide the first evidence that lactoperoxidase, a model enzyme for most mammalian peroxidases, catalyzed the one-electron oxidation and/or peroxidation of 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine. This process correlates with the production of superoxide radicals as is evident from the observed inhibitory effect of superoxide dismutase on product formation. 5,7-Dihydroxytryptamine is a classical peroxidase-oxidase substrate acting as a one-electron donor for enzyme compounds I, II and III. The one-electron peroxidatic oxidation of this serotonergic neurotoxin, responsible for the selective degeneration of central (5-hydroxytryptamine) neurons, is a fast process requiring measurement on the ms time scale. Attention is drawn to the biochemical and toxicological implications, because this fast reaction results in formation of known cell damaging species: free radicals, superoxide radicals and quinoidal products probably involved in the toxic action of 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine.Abbreviations 5-HT

Intraventricular 5,7-Dihydroxytryptamine Increases Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone Content in Regions of Rat Brain 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Rats received intraventricular (i.v.t.) injections of 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine (5,7-DHT) (100-600 micrograms). Some animals also received intraperitoneal injections of the 5-hydroxytryptamine uptake blocker fluoxetine (FX) (20 mg/kg) or the norepinephrine uptake blocker desmethylimipramine (DMI) (48 mg/kg) 30-90 min prior to i.v.t. 5,7-DHT. Rats were killed between 2 and 35 days following i.v.t. 5,7-DHT, brains were dissected, and regions were assayed for thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) by radioimmunoassay. Dose-dependent increases in TRH content following i.v.t. 5,7-DHT were noted in the brainstem and hippocampus. DMI pretreatment blocked the increase in hippocampal TRH, but not in brainstem TRH. FX pretreatment was ineffective in blocking any increases in TRH content. These results suggest differential regulation of regional TRH content by interactions with specific neurotransmitter systems. 相似文献

We have earlier presented data indicating that the anxiolytic-like effect obtained in rats after depletion of brain 5-HT by means of PCPA or 5,7-DHT treatment is indirect and appears to involve the GABAA/benzodiazepine chloride ionophore receptor complex (GABAA/BDZ-RC), and that it is abolished by adrenalectomy. In the present series of experiments we have therefore investigated the 36Cl(-)-uptake in rat synaptoneurosomal preparations of central cortices from 5,7-DHT- and SHAM-lesioned animals. The GABA as well as the 3 alpha,5 alpha-tetrahydrodeoxycorticosterone (THDOC) induced picrotoxin-sensitive increase in 36Cl(-)-uptake was significantly lower than that observed in the SHAM-lesioned animals, indicating that the 5,7-DHT lesion has rendered the GABAA/BDZ-RC subsensitive to two of its tentative endogenous ligands. This effect of the 5,7-DHT lesion on the function on the GABAA/BDZ-RC was reversed by adrenalectomy, indicating that an intact adrenocortical function is required for the development of GABAA/BDZ-RC subsensitivity in 5,7-DHT-lesioned rats. A tentative conclusion of these findings is that the 5,7-DHT lesion induces an increase in release of GABA and/or barbiturate-like steroids and that this increase is reversed by adrenalectomy. The findings from these in vitro studies parallel those from our previous behavioral experiments and provide further support for the notion that a decreased serotonergic influence in the central nervous system may, possibly via the adrenocortical system, enhance the function of the GABAA/BDZ-RC. 相似文献

The role of the serotoninergic system in the control of LH, FSH and prolactin secretion was analyzed in control and neonatally estrogenized male rats. Animals injected s.c. with 500 micrograms of estradiol benzoate (EB) on day 1 of life, or their corresponding sham-treated controls, were divided on day 75 into the following groups: (1) orchidectomized; (2) injected intraventricularly with 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine (5,7-DHT); (3) orchidectomized and treated with 5,7-DHT, and (4) sham operated. 15 days later, the animals were decapitated and their FHS, LH and prolactin plasma values measured by specific RIA systems. After the treatment with 5,7-DHT, control animals showed a decline in basal prolactin levels but no modification in basal LH and FSH values. After castration, 5,7-DHT-treated animals showed a reduced LH increase and a more marked prolactin decrease. In neonatal estrogen-treated animals, the 5,7-DHT injection did not change FSH, LH or prolactin levels but did partially or completely abolish the post-castration rise in FSH and LH levels, respectively. These data seem to indicate that neonatal estrogenization induced a modification of the serotoninergic role in the control of LH, FSH and prolactin. 相似文献

To study the early effects of neonatal 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine lesions on 5-hydroxytryptamine1A (5-HT1A) receptors, we measured regional [3H]8-OH-DPAT-labeled 5-HT1A sites in binding assays and compared them to our previous studies of [3H]paroxetine-labeled 5-HT transporter sites during the first month in the same rats. While there were significant time- and dose-dependent effects of 5,7-DHT on 5-HT transporter sites, there were no significant changes in 5-HT1A sites in cortex, hippocampus, diencephalon, brainstem, cerebellum, or spinal cord. 5,7-DHT lesions also did not alter the Ki of Gpp(NH)p at brainstem 5-HT1A sites or the Ki of 5-HT in cortex or brainstem in the presence or absence of GTPS or Gpp(NH)p. There were significant regional differences between the density of 5-HT1A sites and 5-HT transporter sites. The ontogeny of brainstem 5-HT1A sites was a pattern of increases until three weeks postnatal, and 5,7-DHT lesions did not alter the ontogeny of 5-HT1A sites. These data suggest differential plasticity of 5-HT1A and 5-HT transporter binding sites during the first month after neonatal 5,7-DHT lesions. 相似文献
