    Inhibition of GABAB Receptor Binding by Guanyl Nucleotides (1984)

    Notes: Abstract: GTP and GDP decreased the saturable binding of [3H]baclofen or [3H]γ-aminobutyric acid ([3H]GABA) to GABAB but not GABAA receptors whereas GMP displayed negligible activity. This effect was specific to guanyl nucleotides and was not mimicked by high concentrations of ATP. The inhibition of ligand binding was the result of a diminished receptor affinity with no change in receptor number. The use of a complete physiological saline solution rather than Tris buffer plus Ca2+ or Mg2+ increased the potency of GTP at the GABAB receptor. The results are discussed in relation to the effects of GABA and GTP on adenylate cyclase activity in the brain.

    Extracellular GABA in the Ventrolateral Thalamus of Rats Exhibiting Spontaneous Absence Epilepsy: A Microdialysis Study (1995)

    Notes: Abstract: There is compelling evidence that excessive GABA-mediated inhibition may underlie the abnormal electrical activity, initiated in the thalamus, associated with epileptic absence seizures. In particular, the GABAB receptor subtype seems to play a critical role, because its antagonists are potent inhibitors of absence seizures, whereas its agonists exacerbate seizure activity. Using a validated rat model of absence epilepsy, we have previously found no evidence of abnormal GABAB receptor density or affinity in thalamic tissue. In the present study, we have used in vivo microdialysis to monitor changes in levels of extracellular GABA and other amino acids in this brain region. We have shown that basal extracellular levels of GABA and, to a lesser extent, taurine are increased when compared with values in nonepileptic controls. However, modifying GABAergic transmission with the GABAB agonist (−)-baclofen (2 mg/kg i.p.), the GABAB antagonist CGP-35348 (200 mg/kg i.p.), or the GABA uptake inhibitor tiagabine (100 µM) did not produce any further alteration in extracellular GABA levels, despite the ability of these compounds to increase (baclofen and tiagabine) or decrease (CGP-35348) seizure activity. These findings suggest that the increased basal GABA levels observed in this animal model are not simply a consequence of seizure activity but may contribute to the initiation of absence seizures.

    Tetanus Toxin-Induced Effects on Extracellular Amino Acid Levels in Rat Hippocampus: An In Vivo Microdialysis Study (1996)

    Notes: Abstract: Tetanus toxin is a potent neurotoxin that is widely considered to produce its effect through impairment of inhibitory neurotransmission. We report the effect of a single unilateral intrahippocampal injection of tetanus toxin on extracellular levels of neuroactive amino acids in freely moving rats, at times ranging between 1 and 7 days posttreatment. Tetanus toxin treatment did not alter extracellular levels of aspartate, glutamate, and taurine at any time during the study. However, although extracellular GABA levels were unaffected by toxin injection 1, 2, and 3 days after treatment, they were reduced (45 ± 8% of contralateral vehicle-injected level) at day 7. Challenge with a high K+ concentration, 7 days after treatment, produced elevations in extracellular levels of taurine and GABA in both vehicle- and toxin-injected hippocampi, with evoked levels of GABA being lower in the toxin-treated side (39 ± 16% of contralateral vehicle-injected level). Aspartate and glutamate levels were not increased by high-K+ infusion. These findings are discussed in relation to the possible role that an imbalance in excitatory/inhibitory tone may play in the production of tetanus toxin-induced neurodegeneration.

    GABAB receptor protein and mRNA distribution in rat spinal cord and dorsal root ganglia (2000)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Science Ltd
    European journal of neuroscience 12 (2000), S. 0 
    Details

    Notes: The presence of metabotropic receptors for GABA, GABAB, on primary afferent terminals in mammalian spinal cord has been previously reported. In this study we provide further evidence to support this in the rat and show that the GABAB receptor subunits GABAB1 and GABAB2 mRNA and the corresponding subunit proteins are present in the spinal cord and dorsal root ganglion. We also show that the predominant GABAB1 receptor subunit mRNA present in the afferent fibre cell body appears to be the 1a form. In frozen sections of lumbar spinal cord and dorsal root ganglia (DRG) GABAB receptors were labelled with [3H]CGP 62349 or the sections postfixed with paraformaldehyde and subjected to in situ hybridization using oligonucleotides designed to selectively hybridize with the mRNA for GABAB(1a), GABAB(1b) or GABAB2. For immunocytochemistry (ICC), sections were obtained from rats anaesthetized and perfused-fixed with paraformaldehyde. The distribution of binding sites for [3H]CGP 62349 mirrored that previously observed with [3H]GABA at GABAB sites. The density of binding sites was high in the dorsal horn but much lower in the ventral regions. By contrast, the density of mRNA (pan) was more evenly distributed across the laminae of the spinal cord. The density of mRNA detected with the pan probe was high in the DRG and distributed over the neuron cell bodies. This would accord with GABAB receptor protein being formed in the sensory neurons and transported to the primary afferent terminals. Of the GABAB1 mRNA in the DRG, ≈ 90% was of the GABAB(1a) form and ≈ 10% in the GABAB(1b) form. This would suggest that GABAB(1a) mRNA may be responsible for encoding presynaptic GABAB receptors on primary afferent terminals in a manner similar to that we have previously observed in the cerebellar cortex. GABAB2 mRNA was also evenly distributed across the spinal cord laminae at densities equivalent to those of GABAB1 in the dorsal horn. GABAB2 mRNA was also detected to the same degree within the DRG. Immunocytochemical analysis revealed that GABAB(1a), GABAB(1b) and GABAB2 were all present in the spinal cord. GABAB(1a) labelling appeared to be more dense than GABAB(1b) and within the superficial dorsal horn GABAB(1a) was present in the neuropil whereas GABAB(1b) was associated with cell bodies in this region. Both 1a and 1b immunoreactivity was expressed in motor neurons in lamina IX. GABAB2 immunoreactivity was expressed throughout the spinal cord and was evident within the neuropil of the superficial laminae.
