CCKB receptor activation protects CA1 neurons from ischemia-induced dysfunction in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats hippocampal slices.
    Neuroscience letters, 1995, May-19, Volume: 191, Issue:1-2

    We examined the effect of cholecystokinin octapeptide sulfated type (CCK-8S) on dysfunction of CA1 pyramidal neurons induced by in vitro ischemic insult in hippocampal slices of stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP). CCK-8S shortened the time required for partial recovery from block of a population spike produced by ischemia. Furthermore, CCK-8S reduced ischemic insult-induced accumulation of K+ in extracellular space. Suppression of the K+ conductance by the CCKB receptor activation is suggested to contribute to neuroprotection by CCK-8S.

Neuroprotective effect of cholecystokininB receptor antagonist on ischemia-induced decrease in CA1 presynaptic fiber spikes in rat hippocampal slices.
    Neuroscience letters, 1994, Feb-14, Volume: 167, Issue:1-2

    The effects of cholecystokinin (CCK) receptor agonists and antagonists on hypoxia/hypoglycemia (ischemia)-induced decrease in CA1 presynaptic fiber spikes elicited by the stimulation of Schaffer collaterals were investigated using rat hippocampal slices. Treatment with the CCKB receptor agonist CCK tetrapeptide (CCK4, 0.01-10 microM) exacerbated the ischemia-induced decrease in the CA1 presynaptic potential in a concentration-dependent manner. Whereas, treatment with the CCKB receptor antagonist [(3R(+)-N-(2,3-dihydro-1-methyl-2-oxo-5-phenyl-1H-1,4- benzodiazepin-3-yl)-N1-(3-methylphenyl)-urea] (L365260), and not with CCKA receptor antagonist [(3S(-)-N-(2,3-dihydro-1-methyl-2-oxo-5-phenyl-1H-1,4- benzodiazepin-3-yl)-1H-indole-2-carboxamide] (L364718), produced a concentration-dependent attenuation of the ischemia-induced decrease. The magnitude of recovery of the CA1 field potentials in L365260-treated groups at 10 and 100 nM was 34% and 45%, respectively. The neuroprotective effect of L365260 (0.01 and 0.1 microM) was completely blocked by co-treatment with CCK4 (0.1 microM), a concentration that did not affect the decreased presynaptic potential induced by ischemia. These results demonstrated that the stimulation of the CCKB receptor played a detrimental role in the development of ischemic damage, whereas the blockade of CCKB receptors played a neuroprotective role in ischemic damage, suggesting a facilitatory role of CCK receptor-operated function in ischemia-induced neuronal deficits.
