Dopamine release in human neocortical slices: characterization of inhibitory autoreceptors and of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor-evoked release.
    Brain research bulletin, 2006, Jan-30, Volume: 68, Issue:5

    The autoinhibitory control of electrically evoked release of [3H]-dopamine and the properties of that induced by nicotinic receptor (nAChR) stimulation were studied in slices of the human neocortex. In both models [3H]-dopamine release was action potential-induced and exocytotic. The selective dopamine D2 receptor agonist (-)-quinpirole reduced electrically evoked release of [3H]-dopamine, yielding IC50 and I(max) values of 23 nM and 76%, respectively. Also, the effects of several other subtype-selective dopamine receptor ligands confirmed that the terminal dopamine autoreceptor belongs to the D2 subtype. The autoinhibitory feedback control was slightly operative under stimulation conditions of 90 pulses and 3 Hz, with a biophase concentration of endogenous dopamine of 3.6 nM, and was enhanced under blockade of dopamine reuptake. [3H]-dopamine release evoked in an identical manner in mouse neocortical slices was not inhibited by (-)-quinpirole, suggesting the absence of dopamine autoreceptors in this tissue and underlining an important species difference. Also, nAChR stimulation-induced release of [3H]-dopamine revealed a species difference: [3H]-dopamine release was evoked in human, but not in rat neocortical slices. The nAChRs inducing [3H]-dopamine release most probably belong to the alpha3/beta2subtype, according to the potencies and efficacies of subtype-selective nAChR ligands. Part of these receptors may be located on glutamatergic neurons.
