Endogenous mGluR activity suppresses GABAergic transmission in avian cochlear nucleus magnocellularis neurons.
GABAergic transmission in the avian cochlear nucleus magnocellularis (NM) of the chick is subject to modulation by gamma-aminobutyric acid type B (GABA(B)) autoreceptors. Here, I investigated modulation of GABAergic transmission in NM by metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) with whole cell recordings in brain slice preparations. I found that tACPD, a nonspecific mGluR agonist, exerted dose-dependent suppression on evoked inhibitory postsynaptic currents (eIPSCs) in NM neurons. At concentrations of 100 or 200 microM, tACPD increased the failure rate of GABAergic transmission. Agonists for group I (3,5-DHPG, 200 microM), group II (DCG-IV, 2 microM), and group III (L-AP4, 10 microM) mGluRs produced a significant reduction in the amplitude of eIPSCs and a significant increase in failure rate, indicating the involvement of multiple mGluRs in this modulation. The frequency, but not the amplitude, of miniature IPSCs (mIPSCs) was decreased significantly by 3,5-DHPG or DCG-IV. Neither frequency nor amplitude of mIPSCs was affected by L-AP4. mGluR antagonists LY341495 (20 microM) plus CPPG (10 microM) significantly increased the amplitude of eIPSCs, indicating that endogenous mGluR activity suppresses GABA release to NM neurons. Furthermore, blockage of mGluRs increased GABA-evoked discharges recorded under physiological Cl(-) concentrations, whereas tACPD (100 microM) eliminated them. The results indicate that mGluRs play important roles in achieving balanced excitation and inhibition in NM and preserving fidelity of temporal information encoded by NM neurons.

Retroinhibition of presynaptic Ca2+ currents by endocannabinoids released via postsynaptic mGluR activation at a calyx synapse.
We investigated the mechanisms by which activation of group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) and CB1 cannabinoid receptors (CB1Rs) leads to inhibition of synaptic currents at the calyx of Held synapse in the medial nucleus of the trapezoid body (MNTB) of the rat auditory brainstem. In approximately 50% of the MNTB neurons tested, activation of group I mGluRs by the specific agonist (s)-3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine (DHPG) reversibly inhibited AMPA receptor- and NMDA receptor-mediated EPSCs to a similar extent and reduced paired-pulse depression, suggestive of an inhibition of glutamate release. Presynaptic voltage-clamp experiments revealed a reversible reduction of Ca2+ currents by DHPG, with no significant modification of the presynaptic action potential waveform. Likewise, in approximately 50% of the tested cells, the CB1 receptor agonist (R)-(+)-[2,3-dihydro-5-methyl-3-(4-morpholinylmethyl)pyrrolo[1,2,3-de]-1,4-benzoxazin-6-yl]-1-naphthalenylmethanone (WIN) reversibly inhibited EPSCs, presynaptic Ca2+ currents, and exocytosis. For a given cell, the amount of inhibition by DHPG correlated with that by WIN. Moreover, the inhibitory action of DHPG was blocked by the CB1R antagonist N-(piperidin-1-yl)-5-(4-iodophenyl)-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxamide (AM251) and occluded by WIN, indicating that DHPG and WIN operate via a common pathway. The inhibition of EPSCs by DHPG, but not by WIN, was abolished after dialyzing 40 mm BAPTA into the postsynaptic cell, suggesting that DHPG activated postsynaptic mGluRs. Light and electron microscopy immunolabeling indicated a presynaptic expression of CB1Rs and postsynaptic localization of mGluR1a. Our data suggest that activation of postsynaptic mGluRs triggers the Ca2+-dependent release of endocannabinoids that activate CB1 receptors on the calyx terminal, which leads to a reduction of presynaptic Ca2+ current and glutamate release.

Different metabotropic glutamate receptors play opposite roles in synaptic plasticity of the rat medial vestibular nuclei.
In the medial vestibular nuclei (MVN) of rat brainstem slices, the role of group II and III metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) and of the subtypes of group I mGluRs: mGluR1, mGluR5, was investigated in basal synaptic transmission and in the induction and maintenance of long-term potentiation (LTP). We used selective antagonists and agonists for mGluRs and we analysed the field potentials evoked by vestibular afferent stimulation before and after high-frequency stimulation (HFS) to induce LTP. The group II and III mGluR antagonist, (R,S)-alpha-2-methyl-4sulphonophenylglycine (MSPG), induced LTP per se and caused a reduction of the paired-pulse facilitation (PPF) ratio indicating an enhancement of glutamate release. This suggests that group II and III mGluRs are activated under basal conditions to limit glutamate release. Both the group II and III mGluR selective antagonists, 2S-2-amino-2-(1S,2S-2-carboxycycloprop-1-yl)-3-(xanth-9-yl)propanoate (LY341495) and (R,S)-alpha-methylserine-O-phosphate (MSOP), induced LTP, and the selective agonists, (2R,4R)-4-aminopyrrolidine-2,4-dicarboxylate (APDC) and L(+)-2-amino-4-phosphonobutyric acid (L-AP4) depressed the field potentials and prevented HFS-LTP, with a prevailing contribution of group II mGluRs over that of group III mGluRs. The mGluR1 antagonist, 7-(hydroxyimino)cyclopropa[b]chromen-1a-carboxylate ethyl ester (CPCCOEt) prevented the full development and maintenance of HFS-LTP. By contrast, the mGluR5 antagonist, 2-methyl-6-phenylethynylpyridine (MPEP) induced LTP per se, which was impeded by CPCCOEt, and it had no effect on LTP once induced by HFS. The PPF analysis showed an enhancement of glutamate release during MPEP potentiation. The group I mGluR agonist, (R,S)-3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine (DHPG) induced LTP per se, which was blocked by CPCCOEt. By contrast the mGluR5 agonist, (R,S)-2-chloro-5-hydroxypheylglycine (CHPG) prevented LTP elicited by HFS and DHPG as well. In conclusion vestibular LTP is inhibited by group II and III mGluRs during the early induction phase while it is facilitated by mGluR1 for achieving its full expression and consolidation. An additional inhibitory control is exerted by mGluR5 at the level of this facilitatory phase.

Changes in rat serum corticosterone after treatment with metabotropic glutamate receptor agonists or antagonists.
From previous work, it appears that glutamate can activate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) axis by an interaction at either ionotopic or metabotropic (G-protein coupled) receptors. For example, (1S,3R)-1-aminocyclopentane-1,3-dicarboxylate (ACPD), a metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptor agonist, has been shown to increase the levels of serum corticosterone in rats. The present study was undertaken to further characterize which of the mGlu receptors are substantially involved in control of the HPA axis. The group I mGlu receptor agonists, 3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine (DHPG), 1S,3R-ACPD, and 2-chloro-5-hydroxyphenylglycine (CHPG) but not the inactive isomer 1R,3S-ACPD were found to dose-dependently increase serum corticosterone 1 h after intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection in male rats. The relative potency, DHPG (EC50 = 520 nmol) > 1S,3R-ACPD (1.4 micromol) = CHPG (2.7 micromol) >> 1R,3S-ACPD (>> 3 micromol) is consistent with activation of group I (mGlu1/5) receptors. The effects of DHPG were long lasting with substantial elevations in corticosterone remaining for at least 3 h. In a similar manner, the group III mGlu receptor agonists, L-AP4 (4-phosphono-2-aminobutyric acid) and L-SOP (serine-O-phosphate), were found to increase serum corticosterone levels at 1 h. In contrast, the mGlu group II selective agonists LY354740 (10 mg/kg, i.p.) and subtype-selective doses of the group II antagonist LY341495 (1 mg/kg, i.p.) did not significantly elevate serum corticosterone. Given the group I agonists results, it was surprising to find that group I selective and mGlu1 selective antagonists given alone also increased serum corticosterone. As with the agonists, the rise in serum corticosterone with LY393675 (an mGlu1/5 antagonist, EC50 = 20 nmol, i.c.v.) and LY367385 (an mGlu1 antagonist, 325 nmol, i.c.v.) were dose-dependent and consistent with their relative affinity for the group I mGlu receptors. The selective mGlu5 antagonist MPEP [2-methyl-6-(phenylethylnyl)pyridine] increased serum corticosterone but only at high doses (> 30 mg/kg, i.p.). A model involving the high glutamatergic tone on GABAergic interneurons in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus is discussed as a possible explanation for these results.

Internalization of ionotropic glutamate receptors in response to mGluR activation.
Activation of group 1 metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) stimulates dendritic protein synthesis and long-term synaptic depression (LTD), but it remains unclear how these effects are related. Here we provide evidence that a consequence of mGluR activation in the hippocampus is the rapid loss of both AMPA and NMDA receptors from synapses. Like mGluR-LTD, the stable expression of this change requires protein synthesis. These data suggest that expression of mGluR-LTD is at least partly postsynaptic, and that a functional consequence of dendritic protein synthesis is the regulation of glutamate receptor trafficking.

Phosphoinositide hydrolysis in vivo with group I metabotropic glutamate receptor agonists.
The present report describes the effect of mGluR agonists and antagonists administration on phospholipase C activation by measuring accumulation of [3H] inositol monophosphates (IP) in rats pre-labeled with [3H]myo-inositol (i.c.v. 24 h pre-treatment). The levels of accumulated [3H]IP were then determined from clarified tissue homogenates using ion-exchange chromotography. Following lithium chloride treatment (10 mg/kg, s.c.), (R/S)-3, 5-dihydroxyphenylglycine (DHPG), a selective group I mGluR agonist was found to dose-dependently cause a maximal increase in the levels of [3H]IP at 0.3 to 3 micromol/8 microliter i.c.v. with lower doses resulting in less efficacious or no responses. This effect was temporal-dependent reaching a plateau at 2 h. The DHPG-induced increases in [3H]IP were most pronounced in the hippocampus where a 3- to 5-fold increase above vehicle was consistently found, but significant approximately 2-fold increases were also seen in the cerebellum, striatum and frontal cortex. The mixed group I and II agonist, (1S,3R)-1-aminocyclopentane-trans-1,3-dicarboxylic acid (1S, 3R-t-ACPD), similarly resulted in dose-dependent increases in [3H]IP levels with doses of 1 to 3 micromol i.c.v. Furthermore, this effect was enantiomer specific since the less active 1R,3S-t-ACPD failed to alter phosphoinositol hydrolysis. Administration of the selective mGluR5 agonist (R/S)-2-chloro-5-hydroxyphenyl-glycine (CHPG) resulted in a dose-dependent increase in hippocampal but not cerebellar levels of [3H]IP, consistent with the receptor distribution of the two group I mGluRs. The Group II agonist LY354740 (1S,2S,5R,6S-2-aminobicycl[3.1.0]hexane-2,6-dicarboxylate monohydrate) and the group III agonist L-AP4 (L-(+)-2-amino-4-phosphonobutyric acid) failed to alter the levels of [3H]IP. LY341495 (2S-2-amino-2-(1S, 2S-2-carboxycycloprop-1-yl)-3-(xanth-9-yl)propanoic acid) is a nM potent Group II antagonist. However, LY341495 has also been found to have microM potency in inhibiting mGluR1 and 5. The stimulation of [3H]PI hydrolysis by 1 micromol DHPG was dose-dependently blocked by co-administration of the mGluR antagonists, LY341495 at doses that are constant with an interaction at Group I mGluR's. Taken together these results suggest that stimulation of group I mGluRs results in measurable increases in PI hydrolysis in vivo. This method could be quite useful in determining the doses and routes of administration of agonists and antagonists that are required to intera Topics: Amino Acids; Animals; Brain Chemistry; Cerebellum; Cycloleucine; Dose-Response Relationship, Drug; Excitatory Amino Acid Antagonists; Glycine; Hippocampus; Hydrolysis; Injections, Intraventricular; Male; Neuroprotective Agents; Phenylacetates; Phosphatidylinositols; Rats; Rats, Sprague-Dawley; Receptors, Metabotropic Glutamate; Resorcinols; Tritium; Type C Phospholipases; Xanthenes | 1999 |
The potent mGlu receptor antagonist LY341495 identifies roles for both cloned and novel mGlu receptors in hippocampal synaptic plasticity.
Understanding the roles of metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors has been severely hampered by the lack of potent antagonists. LY341495 (2S-2-amino-2-(1S,2S-2-carboxycyclopropyl-1-yl)-3-(xanth-9-y l)propanoic acid) has been shown to block group II mGlu receptors in low nanomolar concentrations (Kingston, A.E., Ornstein, P.L., Wright, R.A., Johnson, B.G., Mayne, N.G., Burnett, J.P., Belagaje, R., Wu, S., Schoepp, D.D., 1998. LY341495 is a nanomolar potent and selective antagonist at group II metabotropic glutamate receptors. Neuropharmacology 37, 1-12) but can be used in higher concentrations to block all hippocampal mGlu receptors, identified so far by molecular cloning (mGlu1-5,7,8). Here we have further characterised the mGlu receptor antagonist activity of LY341495 and have used this compound to investigate roles of mGlu receptors in hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD). LY341495 competitively antagonised DHPG-stimulated PI hydrolysis in AV12-664 cells expressing either human mGlu1 or mGlu5 receptors with Ki-values of 7.0 and 7.6 microM, respectively. When tested against 10 microM L-glutamate-stimulated Ca2+ mobilisation in rat mGlu5 expressing CHO cells, it produced substantial or complete block at a concentration of 100 microM. In rat hippocampal slices, LY341495 eliminated 30 microM DHPG-stimulated PI hydrolysis and 100 microM (1S,3R)-ACPD-inhibition of forskolin-stimulated cAMP formation at concentrations of 100 and 0.03 microM, respectively. In area CA1, it antagonised DHPG-mediated potentiation of NMDA-induced depolarisations and DHPG-induced long-lasting depression of AMPA receptor-mediated synaptic transmission. LY341495 also blocked NMDA receptor-independent depotentiation and setting of a molecular switch involved in the induction of LTP; effects which have previously been shown to be blocked by the mGlu receptor antagonist (S)-MCPG. These effects may therefore be due to activation of cloned mGlu receptors. In contrast, LY341495 did not affect NMDA receptor-dependent homosynaptic LTD; an effect which may therefore be independent of cloned mGlu receptors. Finally, LY341495 failed to antagonise NMDA receptor-dependent LTP and, in area CA3, NMDA receptor-independent, mossy fibre LTP. Since in the same inputs these forms of LTP were blocked by (S)-MCPG, a novel type of mGlu receptor may be involved in their induction.
