Effect of GR205171 on autonomic dysreflexia induced by colorectal distension in spinal cord injured rats.
    Spinal cord, 2023, Volume: 61, Issue:9

    Preclinical pharmacology.. To determine whether blocking substance P signaling attenuates the hypertension and bradycardia evoked by colorectal distension (CRD) in spinal cord injured (SCI) rats.. University laboratory in Pennsylvania, U.S.A.. Tachykinin NK1 receptor antagonists were administered 30 min prior to CRD three weeks after complete spinal cord transection at the 4. Subcutaneous (SC) administration of 10-30 mg/kg GR205171 ((2S,3S)-N-[[2-methoxy-5-[5-(trifluoromethyl)tetrazol-1-yl]phenyl]methyl]-2-phenylpiperidin-3-amine dihydrochloride) reduced CRD-induced hypertension and bradycardia by 55 and 49%, respectively, compared with pretreatment values. There was no effect of GR205171 on resting blood pressure or heart rate. In contrast, the same dose range of CP-99,994 ((2S,3S)-N-[(2-methoxyphenyl)methyl]-2-phenyl-3-piperidinamine dihydrochloride) had no effect on CRD-induced cardiovascular responses.. The effective dose range of GR205171 to alleviate autonomic dysreflexia is consistent with the blockade of NK1 receptors on pelvic sensory afferents in the lumbosacral spinal cord, which may in turn prevent the over-excitation of sympathetic preganglionic neurons (SPNs) that regulate blood pressure and heart rate. The findings provide preclinical support for the utility of NK1 receptor antagonists to treat autonomic dysreflexia in people with SCI. The difference in the effects of the two NK1 receptor antagonists may reflect the ~200-fold lower affinity of CP-99,994 than GR205171 for the rat NK1 receptor.

Inhibition of the bradycardic component of the von Bezold-Jarisch reflex and carotid chemoreceptor reflex by periaqueductal gray stimulation: involvement of medullary receptors.
    The European journal of neuroscience, 2009, Volume: 29, Issue:10

    Stimulation of the dorsolateral periaqueductal gray matter (dlPAG) and the B3 cell group inhibits the cardiovagal component of the baroreflex in rats. Our aim was to determine whether the defence reaction induces similar modulatory effects on the cardiac response of the von Bezold-Jarisch reflex and the carotid chemoreceptor reflex. We examined the effects of dlPAG stimulation on the reflex bradycardia triggered by systemic administration of phenylbiguanide or potassium cyanide. Electrical and chemical stimulation of the dlPAG produced marked inhibition of the cardiovagal components of the von Bezold-Jarisch and the carotid chemoreceptor reflexes. In addition, as 5-HT(3), NK(1) and GABA(A) receptor activation blocks cardiac reflex responses, we studied whether these receptors were involved in the dlPAG-induced inhibitory effects. We found that, after microinjection of granisetron (a 5-HT(3) receptor antagonist), bicuculline (a GABA(A) receptor antagonist) and GR-205171 (an NK(1) receptor antagonist) into the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS), reflex bradycardic responses were preserved during dlPAG stimulation. Finally, activation of the B3 region also inhibited both reflex bradycardic responses, and these effects were prevented by prior blockade of 5-HT(3) receptors in the NTS. The inhibitory effect of dlPAG stimulation on the cardiac reflex responses was prevented by inhibition of neurons in the medullary B3 region. In conclusion, 5-HT(3), GABA(A) and NK(1) receptors in the NTS appear to be involved in the inhibition of the von Bezold-Jarisch reflex and the carotid chemoreceptor reflex bradycardia evoked by activation of neurons in the dlPAG and the raphé magnus.

Functional interaction between nucleus tractus solitarius NK1 and 5-HT3 receptors in the inhibition of baroreflex in rats.
    Cardiovascular research, 2005, Mar-01, Volume: 65, Issue:4

    Previous data showed that in the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS), 5-HT(3) receptors are critically involved in the inhibition of cardiac baroreceptor reflex response occurring during the defense reaction. Since stimulation of NTS NK(1) receptors has been found to inhibit the baroreflex bradycardia, we examined in this study whether this reflex response is inhibited during the defense reaction via an interaction between NK(1) and 5-HT(3) receptors.. For this purpose, we analyzed in urethane-anaesthetized rats the effects of intra-NTS GR205171, a selective NK(1) receptor antagonist, on the baroreflex bradycardia inhibition observed either during the defense reaction triggered by electrical stimulation of the dorsal periaqueductal grey matter (dPAG) or after NTS 5-HT(3) receptor activation.. Intra-NTS GR205171, reversed, in dose-dependent manner, the inhibitory effect of dPAG stimulation on baroreflex bradycardia. This reversion was of 49% when both sinus carotid and aortic baroreceptors were stimulated by phenylephrine, and of 84% when aortic depressor nerve was stimulated. Similarly, intra-NTS GR205171 reversed partially or almost totally the inhibitory effect of local microinjections of phenylbiguanide, a 5-HT(3) receptor agonist, on baroreflex bradycardia induced either by phenylephrine administration or aortic nerve stimulation, respectively.. These results strongly suggest that NK(1) receptors contribute downstream to the 5-HT(3) receptor-mediated inhibition of the aortic but not carotid cardiac baroreflex response occurring during the defense reaction, therefore implying that baroreceptor afferent inputs may be differentially modulated depending on their origin. This differentiation may be useful for a better understanding of baroreflex dysfunction in disease-induced conditions.
