Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), gamma-[3H]-aminobutyric acid [( 3H]GABA) high-affinity uptake into synaptosomes, and endogenous GABA content were measured in the rat striatum 2-3 weeks following 6-hydroxydopamine injection in the ipsilateral substantia nigra to destroy the nigrostriatal dopaminergic pathway and after kainic acid injection into the centromedial-parafascicular complex of the ipsilateral thalamus to lesion the thalamostriatal input. Both lesions resulted in apparent GAD increase concomitant with a decreased [3H]GABA uptake into striatal synaptosomes. GABA content was increased selectively following the dopaminergic lesion. Kinetic analysis of the uptake process for [3H]GABA showed selectively a decreased Vmax following the dopaminergic lesion; in animals with thalamic lesion, however, the change only concerned the Km, which showed a decreased affinity of the transport sites for [3H]GABA. Determination of Km and Vmax for GAD action on its substrate glutamic acid showed an increased affinity of GAD for glutamic acid in the case of the dopaminergic lesion without any change in Vmax, whereas the thalamic lesion resulted in GAD increase concomitant with a selective increase in Vmax. These data suggest that striatal GABA neurons are under the influence of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons which may reduce the GABA turnover, whereas the exact nature of the powerful control also revealed on these neurons following thalamic lesion remains to be determined. Both lesions induced adaptive neurochemical responses of striatal GABA neurons, possibly reflecting in the case of the dopaminergic deprivation an increased GABA turnover. 相似文献

Sodium-independent binding of [3H]gamma-aminobutyric acid ([3H]GABA) to membranes prepared from ischemic-damaged rat striatum was studied by kinetic and time-course analysis. Three days after 40 min of ischemia, [3H]GABA binding increased fourfold over control values. Scatchard analysis of the binding showed that ischemia significantly increased the affinity (KD) and the total number of binding sites (Bmax) for the high-affinity GABA receptor. These results support the conclusion that transient forebrain ischemia damages striatal GABAergic neurons. 相似文献

In the isolated frog spinal cord perfused with kainic acid (KA, 5 X 10(-4) M) containing Ringer's solution, within 2 hr there were increases in the amplitude of the dorsal root depolarization, as induced by the GABA-agonists. KA perfusion produced increases in the specific binding of [3H]muscimol to crude synaptic membranes and incubation with KA for 3 hr did not increase [3H]muscimol binding. [3H]GABA was released from KA-treated spinal cord slices in the presence of high K+. KA-induced supersensitivity of the dorsal root to GABA may relate to direct actions on primary afferent terminals and not to denervation of GABAergic neurons. 相似文献

The effect of intrastriatal microinjection of kainic acid (KA) on specific binding of [3H]muscimol to the particulate fractions obtained from corpus striatum (CS), globus pallidus (GP), substantia nigra (SN), and cerebral cortex (CC) was examined. Seven days after the unilateral intrastriatal microinjection of KA, the amount of specifically bound [3H]muscimol was significantly increased at the injected site, whereas no significant alteration of [3H]muscimol binding was found in GP, SN, or CC. Scatchard analysis of striatal binding revealed that microinjection of KA significantly increased the affinity (KD) of GABA receptors on the injected (lesioned) side of the CS without affecting the total number of binding sites (Bmax) therein. This significant increase in [3H]muscimol binding, however, was eliminated by pretreating particulate fractions from the CS with Triton X-100, a non-ionic detergent. No statistically significant difference in amounts of [3H]muscimol binding was detected when the preparations from the KA-treated and non-treated CS were preincubated with 0.05% Triton X-100, respectively. Scatchard analysis using CS preparations treated with 0.05% Triton X-100 revealed that the affinity of the GABA receptor was increased by treatment with Triton X-100, while the total number of binding sites (Bmax) was unchanged by this treatment. These results suggest that neuronal degeneration produced by KA in vivo and pretreatment of particulate preparations with Triton X-100 in vitro may increase the amount of specifically bound [3H]muscimol to CS preparations by a similar molecular mechanism. 相似文献

Abstract: Intrastriatal injections of kainic acid (KA) were utilized to investigate the cellular localization of postsynaptic dopamine (DA) metabolism by type A and B monoamine oxidase (MAO) in rat striatum. At 2 days postinjection, maximal degeneration of cholinergic and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic neurons was observed and found to be associated with a significant decrease in both type A and B MAO activity. However, over the next 8-day period, when only the process of gliosis appeared to be occurring, a selective return to control of type B MAO activity was seen. When the metabolism of [3H]DA (10?7 M) was examined in 8-day KA-lesioned rat striatal slices, an increase in [3H]dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) and [3H]homovanillic acid (HVA) formation was observed. The KA-induced elevation of [3H]DOPAC formation (but not [3H]HVA) was abolished by the DA neuronal uptake inhibitor nomifensine. This is consistent with earlier findings suggesting that HVA is formed exclusively within sites external to DA neurons. Experiments with clorgyline and/or deprenyl revealed that the relative roles of type A and B MAO in striatal DA deamination remained unchanged following KA (90% deamination by type A MAO) even though total deamination was substantially enhanced. At high concentrations of [3H]DA (10?5 M), deamination by type B MAO could be increased to 30% of the total MAO activity; however, this was observed in both control and KA-lesioned striata. These results suggest that KA-sensitive neurons contain type A and/or type B MAO. Moreover, whereas these neurons may metabolize DA, a major portion of postsynaptic DA deamination appears to occur within glial sites of rat striatal tissue. Furthermore, glial cells would appear to contain functionally important quantities of both type A and B MAO. 相似文献

Abstract We used the cytotoxic properties of methylazoxymethanol acetate (MAM), which ablates mitotically active neuroblasts, to eliminate neurons in the fetal striatum to define the factors that regulate the development of the synaptic circuitry of this region. Adult rats whose mothers received a single intraperitoneal injection of 20 mg/kg of MAM on gestational days (DG) 14-17 were used in this study. MAM treatment at 14 DG caused a 49% decrease in striatal mass whereas treatment at 17 DG reduced the striatal weight by only 16%; MAM treatment on 15 or 16 DG gave intermediate results. Histologic analysis of Nissl-stained sections did not reveal an obvious disruption of striatal organization, although the region was clearly hypoplastic. The hypoplasia was associated with significant increases in the specific activities of choline acetyltransferase and tyrosine hydroxylase, although total activities of these enzymes per striatum were significantly depressed with the 14 or 15 DG treatments. In contrast, the specific activity of glutamate decarboxylase was unaffected by MAM treatment whereas the total activity of this enzyme was reduced commensurate with the degree of striatal hypoplasia. In rats lesioned at 15 DG, there was a similar 30% increase in the specific activities of all presynaptic dopaminergic markers studied. In contrast, the specific activity of the synaptosomal uptake process for [3H]choline was elevated by 60%, the specific activity of choline acetyltransferase was increased by only 30%, and the concentration of acetylcholine in the striatum was unchanged. Whereas the specific activities of glutamate decarboxylase and of the synaptosomal uptake process for [3H]γ-aminobutyric acid ([3H]GABA) were unaffected by the 15 DG MAM treatment, the concentration of GABA was increased significantly by 20%. The specific binding of [3H]spiroperidol, [3H]quinuclidinyl benzilate ([3H]QNB). and [3H] muscimol to, respectively, dopamine, muscarinic, and GABA receptors was unchanged by the 15 DG MAM lesion. The nigral dopaminergic perikarya appeared unaffected by the 15 DG MAM lesion in that the tyrosine hydroxylase activity remained normal. Consistent with the loss of striatal GABAergic perikarya, the specific activities of glutamate decarboxylase and of the synaptosomal uptake process for [3H]GABA were significantly reduced in the substantia nigra; however, the concentration of endogenous GABA was twofold greater than in control in this terminal region. The results of these studies indicate that the nigro-striatal dopaminergic pathway only partially compensates for the loss of neurons in its terminal field within the hypoplastic striatum. Striatal cholinergic and GABAergic neurons differ considerably in their responses to the MAM lesion, suggesting that they are derived from different neuroblast pools. Finally, the altered synaptic relationships induced by the fetal lesion may affect neurotransmitter turnover as evidenced by disparities in GABA and acetylcholine levels when compared with other presynaptic markers for the GABAergic and cholinergic neurons. 相似文献

The binding of [3H]3-(2-carboxypiperazin-4-yl)propyl-1-phosphonic acid ([3H]CPP), a rigid analogue of 2-amino-7-phosphonoheptanoic acid (AP7) and reported to be a selective N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonist, was studied in rat striatal membranes using a centrifugation procedure to separate bound and free radioligand. [3H]CPP bound with high affinity (KD = 272 nM) in a saturable, reversible, and protein concentration-dependent manner. Specific binding was suggested to involve a single class of noninteracting binding sites. The most potent [3H]CPP binding inhibitors tested were CPP, L-glutamate, 2-amino-5-phosphonovalerate, and AP7. NMDA, L-aspartate, and alpha-aminoadipate were also shown to be efficient in inhibiting the binding, whereas quisqualate, D,L-2-amino-4-phosphonobutyrate, kainate, L-glutamate diethylester, and alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid were found to be essentially inactive. These data are therefore consistent with the view that [3H]CPP selectively binds to NMDA receptors in the rat striatum. Lesions of intrastriatal neurons using local injections of kainic acid revealed a marked decrease in [3H]CPP binding, suggesting an almost exclusively postsynaptic location of binding sites in the striatum. Conversely, bilateral lesion of corticostriatal glutamatergic fibers resulted in an increased number of [3H]CPP striatal binding sites, providing evidence for a putative supersensitivity response to this striatal deafferentation. Interestingly, lesion of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons using intranigral 6-hydroxydopamine injections resulted, 2-3 weeks later, in a similar increase in the number of [3H]CPP striatal binding sites.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

(R)-N-[4,4-Bis(3-Methyl-2-Thienyl)but-3-en-1-yl]Nipecotic Acid Binds with High Affinity to the Brain γ-Aminobutyric Acid Uptake Carrier 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

(R)-N-[4,4-Bis(3-methyl-2-thienyl)but-3-en-1-yl]nipecotic acid (NO 328) has previously been shown to be a potent anticonvulsant in both mice and rats. Here, we report that NO 328 is a potent inhibitor of gamma-[3H]aminobutyric acid [( 3H]GABA) uptake in a rat forebrain synaptosomal preparation (IC50 = 67 nM) and in primary cultures of neurons and astrocytes. Inhibition of [3H]GABA uptake by NO 328 is apparently of a mixed type when NO 328 is preincubated before [3H]GABA uptake; the inhibition is apparently competitive without preincubation. NO 328 itself is not a substrate for the GABA uptake carrier, but NO 328 is a selective inhibitor of [3H]GABA uptake. Binding to benzodiazepine receptors, histamine H1 receptors, and 5-hydroxytryptamine1A receptors was inhibited by NO 328 at 5-30 microM, whereas several other receptors and uptake sites were unaffected. [3H]NO 328 showed saturable and reversible binding to rat brain membranes in the presence of NaCl. The specific binding of [3H]NO 328 was inhibited by known inhibitors of [3H]GABA uptake; GABA and the cyclic amino acid GABA uptake inhibitors were, however, less potent than expected. This indicates that the binding site is not identical to, but rather overlapping with, the GABA recognition site of the uptake carrier. The affinity constant for binding of [3H]NO 328 is 18 nM, and the Bmax is 669 pmol/g of original rat forebrain tissue. The regional distribution of NaCl-dependent [3H]NO 328 binding followed that of synaptosomal [3H]GABA uptake.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Kainic acid evoked release of D-[3H]aspartate from rat striatum in vitro: characterization and pharmacological modulation 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

A presynaptic stimulatory action of kainic acid (KA) on the release of glutamate from corticostriatal neurons is thought to contribute to the toxic effect of KA on cell bodies of neurons in the striatum. To characterize the action of KA on the presynaptic amino acid release, its effect was evaluated on the spontaneous efflux of D-[3H]aspartate (D-[3H]Asp), a marker for glutamatergic neurons, from slices of rat striatum in superfusion experiments. In the concentration range 0.5-10.0 mM, KA significantly increased the spontaneous efflux of D-[3H]Asp. Under similar conditions potassium (K+, 25 mM), veratridine, D-aspartic acid (D-Asp), and N-methyl-D-L-aspartic acid (NMDLA) also induced the efflux of the radiolabelled amino acid. The stimulatory effect of KA, like that of K+, was partly calcium dependent. The action of veratridine, D-Asp, and NMDA was not calcium dependent. Tetrodotoxin (TTX) blocked the action of veratridine on D-[3H]Asp efflux but did not affect the action of KA. In a sodium-free perfusion medium the action of KA was greatly reduced. Dihydrokainic acid produced an effect on D-[3H]Asp efflux comparable in magnitude with that produced by KA. The latter, at a dose of 5 mM, also stimulated the efflux of D-[3H]Asp from the cortex, hippocampus and the septum but its effect on these regions was weaker than its striatal effect. The action of several agents, which previously have been found to depress transmitter release in other systems and (or) to modify the neurotoxic action of KA in vivo, was evaluated on the KA-evoked D-[3H]Asp efflux from striatal slices.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Kainic acid (KA) at micromolar concentrations stimulated the release of gamma-[3H]aminobutyric acid [( 3H]GABA) from a particulate fraction of the carp (Cyprinus carpio) retina. The KA action was dose-dependent but Ca2+-independent. A similar response was elicited by another glutamate receptor agonist, quisqualic acid, and high K+, but not by an aspartate agonist, N-methyl-D-aspartic acid. The stimulatory action of KA on the [3H]GABA release was selectively blocked by the KA blockers gamma-D-glutamylglycine and cis-2,3-piperidine dicarboxylic acid. Dopamine (DA), which is contained in DA interplexiform cells in the carp retina, inhibited the [3H]GABA release induced by KA and high K+ in a dose-dependent manner. 5-Hydroxytryptamine and two well-known GABA antagonists, bicuculline (Bic) and picrotoxin (Pic), also mimicked the DA effect on the GABA release at a comparable concentration. This inhibitory effect of DA as well as Bic and Pic on the [3H]GABA release evoked by KA was clearly antagonized by a DA blocker, haloperidol. The action of these agents (KA, DA, GABA antagonist) belonging to three different receptor categories on the GABAergic neurons (possibly external horizontal cells; H1 cells) is discussed in relation to other electrophysiological studies on the lateral spread of S-potentials between H1 cells. 相似文献

The release of [3H]GABA which is newly synthesized from [3H]l-glutamic acid (GLU) has been examined using striatal slices obtained from the rat brain. It was found that 8–10% of [3H]GLU transported was converted to [3H]GABA during the incubation of striatal slices in the presence of nipecotic acid (5 × 10?5 M). Nipecotic acid was added to the medium in order to prevent possible reuptake of [3H]GABA released during its synthesis, and it was found to have no significant effect on the formation of [3H]GABA from [3H]GLU as well as on the uptake of [3H]GLU. The application of high potassium (60 mM) stimulation exhibited a significant enhancement of the release of this newly synthesized [3H]GABA in a Ca2+ dependent manner. Kinetic analysis revealed that the evoked release of newly synthesized [3H]GABA was approximately two times greater than that of previously-loaded [3H]GABA, whereas no significant difference was observed in the spontaneous release. An immobilization stress in water failed to affect the release of newly synthesized [3H]GABA from striatal slices despite the occurrence of a significant enhancement of GABA formation in this structure.These results suggest that newly synthesized GABA may be preferentially released from its nerve terminals in response to the excitation of neurons at least in the striatum as compared with previously accumulated GABA. 相似文献

The density of 3H-kainic acid (KA) binding was determined in several regions of Huntington's Diseased (HD) and control human brains. 3H-Kainic acid binding was significantly reduced by 55% in the caudate nucleus and by 53% in the putamen of HD brains. In addition, 3H-KA binding was determined in rat striatum at various intervals following lesion with KA, a procedure which produces an animal model of HD. After KA lesion, 3H-KA binding in the rat striatum underwent a slow reduction, reaching 25% of control after 6 weeks. Several properties of 3H-KA binding to rat brain membranes were also investigated, including inhibition by ions, regional distribution and displacement by various compounds. The findings confirm the validity of the KA-lesioned model for HD and suggest a post-synaptic location for kainic acid receptors in the striatum. 相似文献

[3H]Piflutixol binding to rat striatal membrane preparations identifies both D-1 and D-2 sites. We used [3H]piflutixol to characterise those binding sites present in 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS)-solubilised rat striatal preparations. The specific binding of [3H]piflutixol, as defined using cis-flupenthixol, to CHAPS-solubilised rat striatal tissue was saturable and of high affinity. Specific [3H]piflutixol binding to the solubilised preparations was displaced stereoselectively by the isomers of butaclamol and to an equal extent by both cis-flupenthixol and (+/-)-sulpiride. A positive correlation was found between the capacity of a range of drugs to displace [3H]piflutixol binding and the displacement of [3H]spiperone to the same preparations. The Bmax of [3H]piflutixol binding was not different from that of [3H]spiperone binding to the same preparation. These studies suggest that, in contrast to specific binding of membrane preparations, the specific binding of [3H]piflutixol to CHAPS-solubilised preparations involves mainly D-2 sites. Specific [3H]piflutixol binding, in contrast to [3H]spiperone binding, showed only slow dissociation from soluble preparations. The binding of [3H]piflutixol to CHAPS-solubilised preparations was retained during passage through a gel filtration column. This prelabelling of solubilised striatal preparations using [3H]piflutixol may aid in the purification of CHAPS-solubilised rat striatal D-2 sites. 相似文献

In the present study, we characterized the distribution and the pharmacological properties of the different components of the GABAA receptor complex in the brain of the eel (Anguilla anguilla). Benzodiazepine recognition sites labeled "in vitro" with [3H]flunitrazepam ([3H]FNT) were present in highest concentration in the optic lobe and in lowest concentration in the medulla oblongata and spinal cord. A similar distribution was observed in the density of gamma-[3H]aminobutyric acid ([3H]GABA) binding sites. GABA increased the binding of [3H]FNT in a concentration-dependent manner, with a maximal enhancement of 45% above the control value, and, vice versa, diazepam stimulated the binding of [3H]GABA to eel brain membrane preparations. The density of benzodiazepine and GABA recognition sites and their reciprocal regulation were similar to those observed in the rat brain. In contrast, the binding of the specific ligand for the Cl- ionophore, t-[35S]butylbicyclophosphorothionate ([35S]TBPS), to eel brain membranes was lower than that found in the rat brain. In addition, [35S]TBPS binding in eel brain was less sensitive to the inhibitory effects of GABA and muscimol and much more sensitive to the stimulatory effect of bicuculline, when compared with [35S]TBPS binding in the rat brain. Moreover, the uptake of 36Cl- into eel brain membrane vesicles was only marginally stimulated by concentrations of GABA or muscimol that significantly enhanced the 36Cl- uptake into rat brain membrane vesicles. Finally, intravenous administration of the beta-carboline inverse agonist 6,7-dimethoxy-4-ethyl-beta-carboline-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester (20 mg/kg) and of the chloride channel blocker pentylenetetrazole (80 mg/kg) produced convulsions in eels that were antagonized by diazepam at doses five to 20 times higher than those required to produce similar effects in rats. The results may indicate a different functional activity of the GABA-coupled chloride ionophore in the fish brain as compared with the mammalian brain. 相似文献

Stress-Induced Enhancement of Suppression of [3 H]GABA Release from Striatal Slices by Presynaptic Autoreceptor 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The effect of cold and immobilization stress on presynaptic GABAergic autoreceptors was examined using the release of [3H]GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) from slices of rat striatum. It was found that in vitro addition of delta-aminolevulinic acid, as well as GABA agonists such as muscimol and imidazoleacetic acid, exhibited a significant suppression of the striatal release of [3H]GABA evoked by the addition of high potassium, whereas delta-aminovaleric acid had no significant effects on the evoked release. These suppressive actions were antagonized invariably by the GABA antagonists, bicuculline and picrotoxin, but not by the glycine antagonist, strychnine. Cholinergic agonists, such as pilocarpine and tetramethylammonium, also attenuated significantly the evoked release of [3H]GABA from striatal slices, while none of its antagonists, including atropine, hexamethonium and d-tubocurarine, affected the release. On the other hand, in vitro addition of dopamine receptor agents such as dopamine, apomorphine, and haloperidol, or the inhibitory amino acids, glycine, beta-alanine, and taurine failed to influence the evoked release of [3H]GABA from striatal slices. Application of a cold and immobilization stress for 3 h was found to induce a significant enhancement of the suppressive effects by muscimol and delta-aminolevulinic acid on the evoked release of [3H]GABA, without affecting that by pilocarpine and tetramethylammonium. These results suggest that the release of GABA from striatal GABA neurons may be regulated by presynaptic autoreceptors for this neuroactive amino acid, and may play a significant functional role in the exhibition of various symptoms induced by stress. 相似文献

α-[3 H]Amino-3-Hydroxy-5-Methyl-4-Isoxazolepropionic Acid Binding to Rat Striatal Membranes: Effects of Selective Brain Lesions 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The binding of alpha-[3H]amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid ([3H]AMPA), a structural Glu analog, to rat striatal membranes was studied. In the absence of potassium thiocyanate and Cl-/Ca2+, saturation-curve analysis of [3H]AMPA binding suggested that a single class of noninteracting binding sites with a KD value of 340 +/- 27 nM was involved, although AMPA inhibition of [3H]AMPA binding set at a concentration of 100 nM suggested, in contrast, the presence of multiple populations of striatal binding sites. Several other excitatory amino acid receptor agonists and antagonists were tested, and the most potent and selective quisqualic acid (QA) receptor agonists (QA, L-Glu, and AMPA) were found to represent the most potent inhibitors of [3H]AMPA binding. N-Methyl-D-aspartate receptor agonists and antagonists were ineffective as displacers of the [3H]AMPA binding. Lesions of intrastriatal neurons (using kainic acid local injections) and of corticostriatal afferent fibers led 2-3 weeks later to large decreases (63 and 30%, respectively) in striatal [3H]AMPA binding, whereas selective lesion of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic pathway (using nigral injection of 6-hydroxy-dopamine) was without any influence. Taken together, these results suggest that [3H]AMPA binding is primarily associated with postsynaptic intrastriatal neurons. Some [3H]AMPA binding sites may also be located presynaptically on corticostriatal nerve endings. So, in addition to the possibility that [3H]AMPA binding sites may be involved in corticostriatal synaptic transmission, it is interesting that these putative QA-preferring excitatory amino acid receptor sites may also play some role in autoregulatory processes underlying this excitatory synaptic transmission. 相似文献

2-Oxoquazepam (2oxoquaz) is a novel benzodiazepine which shows preferential affinity for type I benzodiazepine recognition sites. In the present study, we analyzed the effect of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), pentobarbital, and chloride ions on [3H]2oxoquaz and [3H]flunitrazepam ( [3H]FNT) binding to membrane preparations from rat and human brain. GABA stimulated [3H]-2oxoquaz and [3H]FNT binding in a concentration-dependent manner. The maximal enhancement produced by GABA on [3H]2oxoquaz binding was higher than that produced on [3H]FNT binding in both rat and human tissues. In the rat brain, the effect of GABA on [3H]2oxoquaz was similar throughout different brain areas, whereas the effect on [3H]FNT binding was lower in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus than in the cerebellum. Moreover, both [3H]2oxoquaz and [3H]FNT binding were stimulated by chloride ions and pentobarbital. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that type I benzodiazepine recognition sites are linked functionally to the GABA recognition site and the chloride ionophore. 相似文献

GABAA receptor agonists modulate [3H]diazepam binding in rat cortical membranes with different efficacies. At 23 degrees C, the relative potencies for enhancement of [3H]diazepam binding by agonists parallel their potencies in inhibiting [3H]gamma-aminobutyric acid [( 3H]GABA) binding. The agonist concentrations needed for enhancement of [3H]diazepam binding are up to 35 times higher than for [3H]GABA binding and correspond closely to the concentrations required for displacement of [3H]bicuculline methochloride (BMC) binding. The maximum enhancement of [3H]diazepam varied among agonists: muscimol = GABA greater than isoguvacine greater than 3-aminopropane sulphonic acid (3APS) = imidazoleacetic acid (IAA) greater than 4,5,6,7-tetrahydroisoxazolo (4,5,6)-pyridin-3-ol (THIP) = taurine greater than piperidine 4-sulphonic acid (P4S). At 37 degrees C, the potencies of agonists remained unchanged, but isoguvacine, 3 APS, and THIP acquired efficacies similar to GABA, whereas IAA, taurine, and P4S maintained their partial agonist profiles. At both temperatures the agonist-induced enhancement of [3H]diazepam binding was reversible by bicuculline methobromide and by the steroid GABA antagonist RU 5135. These results stress the importance of studying receptor-receptor interaction under near-physiological conditions and offer an in vitro assay that may predict the agonist status of putative GABA receptor ligands. 相似文献

gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA)-mediated and bicuculline-sensitive 36Cl- influx and bicuculline-sensitive [3H] GABA binding were demonstrated in cultures of rat cerebellar granule cells. The addition of 10(-5) M GABA produced a two-fold increase in 36Cl-influx over the basal level and the maximal increase was observed after approximately 20 sec. Progressive occupation of GABAA receptor by [3H]-(1S-9R)-bicuculline methiodide decreased 36Cl- influx activated by 10 microM GABA. The above results suggest that primary cultures of rat cerebellar granule cells provide a new and reliable model for studying the GABA activated chloride fluxes. 相似文献

Saturable and stereoselective binding sites for [3H]threo-(+/-)-methylphenidate were characterized in rat brain membranes. The highest density of [3H]threo-(+/-)-methylphenidate binding sites was found in the synaptosomal fraction of corpus striatum. Scatchard analysis revealed a single class of noninteracting binding sites with an apparent dissociation constant (KD) of 235 nM and a maximum number of binding sites (Bmax) of 13.4 pmol/mg protein. Saturable, high-affinity binding of [3H]threo-(+/-)-methylphenidate to striatal synaptosomal membranes was dependent on the presence of sodium ions. A good correlation (r = 0.88; p less than 0.001) was observed between the potencies of various psychotropic drugs in displacing [3H]threo-(+/-)-methylphenidate from these sites and their potencies as inhibitors of [3H]3,4-dihydroxyphenylethylamine ( [3H]dopamine) uptake into striatal synaptosomes. A good correlation (r = 0.85; p less than 0.001) was also observed between the potencies of a series of ritalinic acid esters in inhibiting [3H]threo-(+/-)-methylphenidate binding to striatal synaptosomal membranes and their potencies as motor stimulants in mice. These observations suggest that the binding sites for [3H]threo-(+/-)-methylphenidate described here are associated with a dopamine uptake or transport complex, and that these sites may mediate the motor stimulant properties of ritalinic acid esters such as methylphenidate. 相似文献
