Summary. Several data indicate that inhibition of glutamatergic transmission may be important to alleviate of parkinsonian symptoms.
Therefore, the aim of the present paper is to review recent studies on the search for putative antiparkinsonian-like effects
of mGluR ligands and their brain targets. In order to inhibit glutamatergic transmission, the group I mGluRs (mGluR1 and mGluR5)
were blocked, and group II (mGluR2/3) or III (mGluR4/7/8) mGluRs were activated.
Systemic or intrastriatal administration of group I mGluR antagonists (mGluR5 – MPEP, MTEP; mGluR1 – AIDA) was found to inhibit
parkinsonian-like symptoms (catalepsy, muscle rigidity) in rats. MPEP administered systemically and mGluR1 antagonists (AIDA,
CPCCOEt, LY367385) injected intrastriatally reversed also the haloperidol-increased proenkephalin (PENK) mRNA expression in
the striatopallidal pathway. Similarly, ACPT-1, a group III mGluR agonist, administered into the striatum, globus pallidus
or substantia nigra inhibited the catalepsy. Intrastriatal injection of this compound reduced the striatal PENK expression
induced by haloperidol. In contrast, a group II mGluR agonist (2R,4R-APDC) administered intrastriatally reduced neither PENK
expression nor the above-mentioned parkinsonian-like symptoms. Moreover, a mixed mGluR8 agonist/AMPA antagonist, (R,S)-3,4-DCPG,
administered systemically evoked catalepsy and enhanced both the catalepsy and PENK expression induced by haloperidol.
The results reviewed in this article seem to indicate that group I mGluR antagonists or some agonists of group III may possess
antiparkinsonian properties, and point at the striatopallidal pathway as a potential target of therapeutic intervention. 相似文献

The primary cause of Parkinson's disease is a loss of dopamine in the corpus striatum. It has been postulated that this effect leads to disinhibition of the striopallidal pathway and secondarily, to a functional shift towards glutamatergic stimulation. The aim of the present study was to find out whether inhibition of glutamatergic transmission at a level of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) in the striatum may alleviate parkinsonian-like symptoms in rats. The non-competitive antagonist of receptor subtype 5 (mGluR5), MPEP (1.0-10 mg/kg ip), or the agonist of group II mGluRs, LY354,740 (5-10 mg/kg ip), reduced haloperidol-induced muscle rigidity and catalepsy. Intrastriatal injections of the mGluR1 antagonist, (RS) AIDA (7.5-15 microg/0.5 microl), but not of the agonist of group II mGluRs, 2R,4R-APDC (7.5-15 microg/0.5 microl), inhibited the muscle rigidity induced by haloperidol. In order to search for an influence of mGluRs on the striopallidal pathway, the effect of MPEP or of the agonist of group II mGluRs, DCG-IV, on the proenkephalin (PENK) mRNA expression in the dorso-lateral striatum was examined by an in situ hybridization. Repeated MPEP (6 x 10 mg/kg ip) administration did not influence PENK expression in na?ve rats, but diminished that increased by haloperidol. In contrast, repeated DCG-IV (3 x 1 nmol/4 microl icv) injections enhanced both the control and the haloperidol-increased levels of PENK expression. The obtained results suggest that blockade of group I mGluRs, or stimulation of group II mGluRs may be important to ameliorate parkinsonian symptoms. Striatal mGluRs may contribute to at least some of these effects. 相似文献

Involvement of metabotropic glutamate receptors in excitatory amino acid and GABA release following spinal cord injury in rat 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to an increase in extracellular excitatory amino acid (EAA) concentrations resulting in glutamate receptor-mediated excitotoxic events. The glutamate receptors include ionotropic (iGluRs) and metabotropic (mGluR) receptors. Of the three groups of mGluRs, group-I activation can initiate intracellular pathways that lead to further transmitter release. Groups II and III mGluRs function mainly as autoreceptors to regulate neurotransmitter release. In an effort to examine the role of mGluRs in the increase in EAAs following SCI, we administered AIDA, a potent group-I mGluR antagonist immediately after injury. To determine subtype specific roles of the group-I mGluRs, we evaluated EAA release following LY 367385 (mGluR1 antagonist) and MPEP (mGluR5 antagonist) administration. To evaluate group-II and -III mGluRs we administered APDC (group-II agonist) and L-AP4 (group-III agonist) immediately following injury; additionally, we initiated treatment with CPPG (group-II/-III antagonist) and LY 341495 (group-II antagonist) 5 min prior to injury. Subjects were adult male Sprague-Dawley rats (225-250 g), impact injured at T10 with an NYU impactor (12.5 mm drop). Agents were injected into the epicenter of injury, amino acids where collected by microdialysis fibers inserted 0.5 mm caudal from the edge of the impact region and quantified by HPLC. Treatment with AIDA significantly decreased extracellular EAA and GABA concentrations. MPEP reduced EAA concentrations without affecting GABA. Combining LY 367385 and MPEP resulted in a decrease in EAA and GABA concentrations greater than either agent alone. L-AP4 decreased EAA levels, while treatment with LY 341495 increased EAA levels. These results suggest that mGluRs play an important role in EAA toxicity following SCI. 相似文献

Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) play an important role in pain associated with tissue acidification. Peripheral inhibitory group II metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) have analgesic effects in a variety of pain conditions. Whether there is a link between ASICs and mGluRs in pain processes is still unclear. Herein, we show that the group II mGluR agonist inhibited acid-evoked ASIC currents and action potentials in rat dorsal root ganglia neurons. LY354740 reduced the maximum current response to protons, but it did not change the sensitivity of ASICs to protons. LY354740 inhibited ASIC currents by activating group II mGluRs. We found that the inhibitory effect of LY354740 was blocked by intracellular application of the Gi/o protein inhibitor pertussis toxin and the cAMP analogue 8-Br-cAMP and mimicked by the protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor H-89. LY354740 also inhibited ASIC3 currents in CHO cells coexpressing mGluR2 and ASIC3 but not in cells expressing ASIC3 alone. In addition, intraplantar injection of LY354740 dose-dependently alleviated acid-induced nociceptive behavior in rats through local group II mGluRs. Together, these results suggested that activation of peripheral group II mGluRs inhibited the functional activity of ASICs through a mechanism that depended on Gi/o proteins and the intracellular cAMP/PKA signaling pathway in rat dorsal root ganglia neurons. We propose that peripheral group II mGluRs are an important therapeutic target for ASIC-mediated pain. LY354740相似文献

Evidence Group I mGluR Drugs Modulate the Activation Profile of Lipopolysaccharide-Exposed Microglia in Culture 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) may play a role in modulating microglial activation, but group I mGluRs have received
little attention. This study aimed to investigate the effects of group I mGluR selective ligands, (S)-3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine ((S)-3,5-DHPG) and (RS)-1-aminoindan-1,5-dicarboxylic acid (AIDA), in lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 50 ng/ml)-activated rat microglial cultures. (S)-3,5-DHPG (150 μM) significantly reduced (approximately 20–60%) the LPS-mediated production of nitrite (NO2
−), tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), and l-glutamate (Glu) at 24 and 72 h. Image analysis revealed increases in both cell area and number, with larger amoeboid microglia
(with retracted processes) formed following 2 h LPS exposure. This cellular population was absent after addition of (S)-3,5-DHPG, an effect antagonised by AIDA, and a concomitant reduction in cell area was also found. Taken together, these
biochemical and morphological observations suggest that (S)-3,5-DHPG reduces microglial activation, indicating a role for group I mGluRs in modulating microglial function. 相似文献

Background
The latero-capsular part of the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeLC) is the target of the spino-parabrachio-amygdaloid pain pathway. Our previous studies showed that CeLC neurons develop synaptic plasticity and increased neuronal excitability in the kaolin/carrageenan model of arthritic pain. These pain-related changes involve presynaptic group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) and postsynaptic NMDA and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP1) receptors. Here we address the role of group II mGluRs.Results
Whole-cell current- and voltage-clamp recordings were made from CeLC neurons in brain slices from control rats and arthritic rats (>6 h postinjection of kaolin/carrageenan into the knee). Monosynaptic excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs) were evoked by electrical stimulation of afferents from the pontine parabrachial (PB) area. A selective group II mGluR agonist (LY354740) decreased the amplitude of EPSCs more potently in CeLC neurons from arthritic rats (IC50 = 0.59 nM) than in control animals (IC50 = 15.0 nM). The inhibitory effect of LY354740 was reversed by a group II mGluR antagonist (EGLU) but not a GABAA receptor antagonist (bicuculline). LY354740 decreased frequency, but not amplitude, of miniature EPSCs in the presence of TTX. No significant changes of neuronal excitability measures (membrane slope conductance and action potential firing rate) were detected.Conclusion
Our data suggest that group II mGluRs act presynaptically to modulate synaptic plasticity in the amygdala in a model of arthritic pain. 相似文献7.
The role of striatal metabotropic glutamate receptors in degeneration of dopamine neurons: review article 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Summary. Degeneration of dopaminergic nigrostriatal neurons is a primary cause of Parkinson's disease. Oxidative stress, excitotoxicity
and mitochondrial failure are thought to be key mechanisms resposible for degeneration of dopaminergic cells. We found that
the selective antagonist of the mGluR5 subtype MPEP in a dose of 5 mg/kg diminshed basal and veratridine (100 μM)-stimulated dopamine release in rat striatum in an in vivo model of microdialysis. In contrast, MPEP given intrastriatally in a high concentration (500 μM) enhanced the striatal extracellular concentration of dopamine. DCG-IV (100 μM), a non-selective agonist of group II mGluRs, inhibited the veratridine-stimulated striatal dopamine release. In an animal
model of neuroxicity in vivo, methamphetamine (5 × 10 mg/kg, injected at 2 h intervals) produced deficits in the striatal content of dopamine and its
metabolites DOPAC and HVA 72 h after the treatment. MPEP (5 × 5 mg/kg) given before each methamphetamine injection reversed
the decrease in the striatal content of dopamine and diminished the methamphetamine-induced dopamine outflow from nigrostriatal
terminals. It is concluded that the MPEP-produced blockade of mGluR5 situated on dopaminergic cells, or the suppression of
glutamate release in the subthalamic nucleus or substantia nigra pars reticulata may directly and indirectly cause a decrease
in striatal dopamine release. However, inhibitory effect of DCG-IV on dopamine release can be induced by attenuation of excitatory
input from corticostriatal terminals by activation of mGluR2/3. Regulation of dopamine carriers by MPEP, an antagonist of
group I mGluRs may be responsible for the reversal of toxicity induced by methamphetamine.

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

We have studied the activation of phospholipase D (PLD) by glutamate in rat cultured astrocytes by measuring the PLD-catalyzed formation of [32P]phosphatidylbutanol in [32P]Pi-prelabeled cells, stimulated in the presence of butanol. Glutamate elicited the activation of PLD in cortical astrocytes but not in cortical neurons, whereas similar glutamate activation of phosphoinositide phospholipase C was found in both astrocytes and neurons. The extent of PLD stimulation by glutamate was similar in astrocytes from brain cortex and hippocampus, but no effect was found in cerebellar astrocytes. In cortical astrocytes, the glutamate response was insensitive to antagonists of ionotropic glutamate receptors and was reproduced by agonists of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) with a rank order of agonist potency similar to that reported for group I mGluR-mediated phosphoinositide phospholipase activation [quisqualate > (S)-3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine > (1S,3R)-1-aminocyclopentane-1,3-dicarboxylic acid]. The response to (1S,3R)-1-aminocyclopentane-1,3-dicarboxylic acid was inhibited by the mGluR antagonist (S)-alpha-methyl-4-carboxyphenylglycine and, less potently, by 1-aminoindan-1,5-dicarboxylic acid and 4-carboxyphenylglycine, two antagonists of group I mGluRs that display higher potency on mGluR1 than on mGluR5. The mGluR5-selective agonist (RS)-2-chloro-5-hydroxyphenylglycine also activated PLD in astrocytes. These findings indicate the involvement of group I mGluRs, most likely mGluR5, in the glutamate activation of PLD in cultured rat cortical astrocytes. 相似文献

Metabotropic receptors may couple to different G proteins in different cells or perhaps even in different regions of the same cell. To date, direct studies of group II and group III metabotropic glutamate receptors' (mGluRs) relationships to second messenger cascades have reported negative coupling of these receptors to cyclic AMP (cAMP) levels in neurons, astrocytes and transfected cells. In the present study, we found that the peptide neurotransmitter N-acetylaspartylglutamate (NAAG), an mGluR3-selective agonist, decreased sodium nitroprusside (SNP)-stimulated cyclic GMP (cGMP) levels in cerebellar granule cells and cerebellar astrocytes. The mGluR3 and group II agonists FN6 and LY354740 had similar effects on cGMP levels. The mGluR3 and group II antagonists beta-NAAG and LY341495 blocked these actions. Treatment with pertussis toxin inhibited the effects of NAAG on SNP-stimulated cGMP levels in rat cerebellar astrocytes but not in cerebellar neurons. These data support the conclusion that mGluR3 is also coupled to cGMP levels and that this mGluR3-induced reduction of cGMP levels is mediated by different G proteins in cerebellar astrocytes and neurons. We previously reported that this receptor is coupled to a cAMP cascade via a pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein in cerebellar neurons, astrocytes and transfected cells. Taken together with the present data, we propose that mGluR3 is coupled to two different G proteins in granule cell neurons. These data greatly expand knowledge of the range of second messenger cascades induced by mGluR3, and have implications for clinical conditions affected by NAAG and other group II mGluR agonists. 相似文献

Abstract: The in vivo anticonvulsant effects and in vitro metabo-tropic glutamate receptor selectivity of ( S )-4-carboxy-3-hydroxy-phenylglycine [(S)-4C3HPG] were examined. Intracerebroventricular injection of (S)-4C3HPG dose-dependently antagonized audiogenic-induced clonic and tonic convulsions in DBA/2 mice with ED60 values of 76 and 110-nmol per mouse, respectively. (S)-4C3HPG dose-dependently inhibited the spontaneously evoked epileptic spikes in a cingulate cortex-corpus callosum slice preparation. (SJ-4C3HPG displaced the binding of [3 H]glutamate in membranes prepared from baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells expressing the metabotropic glutamate receptor mGluR1a with an EC50 of 5 β 1 u M. ( S )-4C3HPG dose-dependently antagonized glutamate-stimulated phosphoinositide hydrolysis in BHK cells expressing mGluR 1a with an IC50 of 15 β 3 μ M. ( S )-4C3HPG was, however, an agonist at mGluR2 with an EC60 of 21 β 4 μ M for inhibition of forskolin-stimulated cyclic AMP formation in BHK cells expressing the mGluR2. ( S )-4C3HPG had no effects at mGluR4a. These data suggest that the anticonvulsant action of ( S )-4C3HPG is mediated by combined antagonism of mGluRIa and agonism of mGluR2. These results suggest the importance of mGluR1a and/or mGluR2 in the control of epileptic activity. 相似文献

We investigated whether the activation of astroglial group II and III metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) could exert neuroprotective effects and whether the neuroprotection was related to glutamate uptake. Our results showed that the activation of astroglial group II or III mGluRs exerted neuroprotection against 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+) astroglial conditioned medium-induced neurotoxicity in midbrain neuron cultures. Furthermore, MPP+ decreased glutamate uptake of primary astrocytes and C6 glioma cells, which was recovered by activating group II or III mGluRs. Specific group II or III mGluRs antagonists completely abolished the neuroprotective effects and the enhancement of glutamate uptake of their respective agonists. Our results showed that the primary cultured rat astrocytes and C6 glioma cells expressed receptor proteins for group II mGluR2/3, group III mGluR4, mGluR6 and mGluR7. C6 glioma cells expressed mRNA for group II mGluR3, group III mGluR4, mGluR6, mGluR7 and mGluR8. In conclusion, we confirmed that the activation of astroglial mGluRs exerted neuroprotection, and demonstrated that the mechanism underlying this protective role was at least partially related to the enhancement of glutamate uptake. 相似文献

Abstract: Cultured granule cells grown in serum-containing medium with a "low K+ " concentration (10 m M ) underwent apoptosis after maturation for 5 days in vitro (5 DIV), a time that coincides with the developmental decline in the activity of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) coupled to polyphosphoinositide hydrolysis. The mGluR agonist (1 S ,3 R )-1-aminocyclopentane-1,3-dicarboxylic acid (1 S ,3 R -ACPD) prevented the development of low K+ -induced apoptosis and the presence of the drug was critical at 6 and 7 DIV, i.e., after the drop of mGluR activity. The neuroprotective action of 1 S ,3 R -ACPD was prevented by the mGluR antagonist ( RS )-α-methyl-4-carboxyphenylglycine (MCPG) and was mimicked by N -methyl- d -aspartate or carbamylcholine but not by agonists of the mGluR subtypes negatively linked to adenylyl cyclase. In cultures treated either with Li+ —which reduced polyphosphoinositide response to concentrations of glutamate (5 µ M ) that approximate those physiologically present in the incubation medium—or MCPG, the development of low K+ -induced apoptosis already occurred at 4 DIV. Thus, the activation of mGluRs coupled to polyphosphoinositide hydrolysis by endogenous glutamate could contribute to protect cultured granule cells against apoptosis during early stages of maturation. 相似文献

The metabotropic glutamate (mGlu2/3) receptor agonist, LY354740, exhibits anxiolytic-like properties in a number of rodent models. The present study utilized in vivo microdialysis to examine the effects of LY354740 on extracellular monoamine levels in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) of animals subjected to 30 min immobilization stress. Immobilization stress significantly elevated extracellular levels of noradrenaline (NA) and dopamine (DA) in the mPFC, while systemic administration of LY354740 (30 mg/kg, s.c.) significantly attenuated immobilization-induced increases in both NA and DA. Reverse-dialysis of LY354740 (30 microm) into the mPFC significantly attenuated immobilization-induced increases in NA, but not DA without affecting basal levels of either amine. In separate studies in the presence of citalopram (1 microm; reverse dialysis into the mPFC), systemic administration of LY354740 attenuated immobilization-induced increases in NA and DA, but had no effect on serotonin (5-HT) levels. Co-administration of the selective mGlu2/3 receptor antagonist, LY341495, partially or fully reversed the attenuation in NA and DA levels produced by LY354740, respectively. Taken together, these data suggest that LY354740 may produce anti-stress actions, in part, by blocking stress-related increases in catecholamines in the mPFC via mGlu2/3 receptor stimulation. 相似文献

G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) agonists are known to induce both cellular adaptations resulting in tolerance to therapeutic effects and withdrawal symptoms upon treatment discontinuation. Glutamate neurotransmission is an integral part of sleep-wake mechanisms, which processes have translational relevance for central activity and target engagement. Here, we investigated the efficacy and tolerance potential of the metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR2/3) agonist versus mGluR2 positive allosteric modulator (PAM) JNJ-42153605 on sleep-wake organisation in rats. In vitro, the selectivity and potency of JNJ-42153605 were characterized. In vivo, effects on sleep measures were investigated in rats after once daily oral repeated treatment for 7 days, withdrawal and consecutive re-administration of LY354740 (1–10 mg/kg) and JNJ-42153605 (3–30 mg/kg). JNJ-42153605 showed high affinity, potency and selectivity at mGluR2. Binding site analyses and knowledge-based docking confirmed the specificity of JNJ-42153605 at the mGluR2 allosteric binding site. Acute LY354740 and JNJ-42153605 dose-dependently decreased rapid eye movement (REM) sleep time and prolonged its onset latency. Sub chronic effects of LY354740 on REM sleep measures disappeared from day 3 onwards, whereas those of JNJ-42153605 were maintained after repeated exposure. LY354740 attenuated REM sleep homeostatic recovery, while this was preserved after JNJ-42153605 administration. JNJ-42153605 enhanced sleep continuity and efficiency, suggesting its potential as an add-on medication for impaired sleep quality during early stages of treatment. Abrupt cessation of JNJ-42153605 did not induce withdrawal phenomena and sleep disturbances, while the initial drug effect was fully reinstated after re-administration. Collectively, long-term treatment with JNJ-42153605 did not induce tolerance phenomena to its primary functional effects on sleep measures, nor adverse effects at withdrawal, while it promoted homeostatic recovery sleep. From the translational perspective, the present rodent findings suggest that mGluR2 positive allosteric modulation has therapeutic potential based on its superior long term efficacy over agonists in psychiatric disorders, particularly of those commonly occurring with REM sleep overdrive.

Abstract: Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are a heterogeneous family of G protein-coupled glutamate receptors that are linked to multiple second messenger systems in the CNS. In this study the selectivity of mGluR agonists for different mGluR second messenger effects was characterized in slices of the rat hippocampus. The mGluR agonists (1 S ,3 R )-1-aminocyclopentane-1,3-dicarboxylic acid and (2 S ,3 S ,4 S )α-(carboxycyclopropyl)glycine produced multiple effects on second messengers that included enhanced phosphoinositide hydrolysis in both adult and neonatal rat hippocampus, inhibition of forskolin-stimulated cyclic AMP (cAMP) formation in adult tissue, and increases in basal cAMP formation in the neonatal hippocampus. In contrast, 3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine was potent and effective in increasing phosphoinositide hydrolysis in both adult and neonatal hippocampus but unlike the other mGluR agonists did not inhibit forskolin-stimulated cAMP formation (in the adult) or substantially enhance basal cAMP formation (in the neonate). Thus, in the rat hippocampus mGluR agonist-mediated increases or decreases in cAMP formation are not secondary to mGluR-mediated changes in phosphoinositide hydrolysis. Furthermore, 3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine can be used to activate subpopulations of mGluRs coupled to phosphoinositide hydrolysis with minimal effects on cAMP-mGluR second messenger systems. 相似文献

A series of 1,3-dihydro-benzo[b][1,4]diazepin-2-one derivatives was evaluated as non-competitive mGluR2/3 antagonists. Replacement of the (2-aryl)-ethynyl-moiety in 8-position with smaller less lipophilic substituents produced compounds inhibiting the binding of [3H]-LY354740 to rat mGluR2 with low nanomolar affinity and consistent functional effect at both mGluR2 and mGluR3. These compounds were able to reverse LY354740-mediated inhibition of field excitatory postsynaptic potentials in the rat dentate gyrus and in vivo activity could be demonstrated by reversal of the LY354740-induced hypoactivity in mice after oral administration. 相似文献

The present study was designed to investigate the antipsychotic-like effects of selective group II metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) agonists, 5-[2-[4-(6-fluoro-1H-indole-3-yl) piperidin-1-yl]ethyl]-4-(4-fluorophenyl)thiazole-2-carboxylic acid amide (MGS0008) and (1R, 2S, 5S, 6S)-2-amino-6-fluoro-4-oxobicyclo[3.1.0]hexane-2,6-dicarboxylic acid monohydrate (MGS0028) on conditioned avoidance responses in rats. MGS0008 (1, 3 and 10 mg/kg, p.o.) and MGS0028 (0.3, 1 and 3 mg/kg, p.o.) significantly and reduced conditioned avoidance responses in a dose-dependent fashion. Similar effects were seen with LY418426 (0.3, 1 and 3 mg/kg, p.o.), but not with LY354740 (3, 10 and 30 mg/kg, p.o.), both of which are selective agonists for group II mGluR. Since this effect is seen with a wide range of antipsychotics, such as haloperidol and clozapine [Life Sciences 71 (2002) 947], group II mGluR agonists deserve further attention for possible antipsychotic activity. 相似文献

Abstract: Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) in the CNS are coupled to a variety of second messenger systems, the best characterized of which is activation of phosphoinositide hydrolysis. Recently, we found that activation of mGluRs in rat brain slices by the selective mGluR agonist 1-aminocyclopentane-1 S ,3 R -dicarboxylic acid (1 S ,3 R -ACPD) potentiates cyclic AMP (cAMP) responses elicited by activation of other receptors coupled to Gs . It has been suggested that mGluR-mediated potentiation of cAMP responses is secondary to activation of phosphoinositide hydrolysis. However, preliminary evidence suggests that this is not the case. Therefore, we designed a series of experiments to test more fully the hypothesis that mGluR-mediated potentiation of cAMP responses is secondary to phosphoinositide hydrolysis. Inhibitors of both protein kinase C and intracellular calcium mobilization failed to antagonize 1 S ,3 R -ACPD-stimulated potentiation of cAMP responses. Further, coapplication of phorbol esters and 1 S ,3 R -ACPD induced a cAMP response that was greater than additive. Finally, ( RS )-3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine, a selective agonist of mGluRs coupled to phosphoinositide hydrolysis, failed to potentiate cAMP responses, whereas (2 S ,1' R ,2' R ,3' R )-2-(2,3-dicarboxycyclopropyl)glycine, an mGluR agonist that does not activate mGluRs coupled to phosphoinositide hydrolysis, elicited a robust potentiation of cAMP responses. In total, these data strongly suggest that mGluR-mediated potentiation of cAMP responses is not secondary to activation of phosphoinositide hydrolysis and is likely mediated by a group II mGluR. 相似文献

Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR) modulate neuronal function. Here, we tested the effect on metabolism of a range of Group I and II mGluR ligands in Guinea pig brain cortical tissue slices, applying 13C NMR spectroscopy and metabolomic analysis using multivariate statistics. The effects of Group I agonists (S)-3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine (DHPG) and (RS)-2-chloro-5-hydroxyphenylglycine (CHPG) depended upon concentration and were mostly stimulatory, increasing both net metabolic flux through the Krebs cycle and glutamate/glutamine cycle activity. Only the higher (50 microm) concentrations of CHPG had the opposite effect. The Group I antagonist (RS)-1-aminoindan-1,5-dicarboxylic acid (AIDA), consistent with its neuroprotective role, caused significant decreases in metabolism. With principal components analysis of the metabolic profiles generated by these ligands, the effects could be separated by two principal components. Agonists at Group II mGluR [(2S,2'R,3'R)-2-(2',3'-dicarboxycyclopropyl)glycine (DCG IV) and 2R,4R-4-aminopyrrolidine-2,4-dicarboxylate (APDC)] generally stimulated metabolism, including glutamate/glutamine cycling, although this varied with concentration. The antagonist (2S)-alpha-ethylglutamic acid (EGLU) stimulated astrocyte metabolism with minimal impact on glutamate/glutamine cycling. (RS)-1-Aminophosphoindan-1-carboxylic acid (APICA) decreased metabolism at 5 microm but had a stimulatory effect at 50 microm. All ligand effects were separated from control and from each other using two principal components. The ramifications of these findings are discussed. 相似文献
