Neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) modulate synaptic transmission by regulating neurotransmitter release, an action that involves multiple nAChRs. The effects of four nAChR agonists, nicotine (NIC), 1,1-dimethyl-4-phenylpiperzinium iodide (DMPP), cytisine (CYT) and epibatidine (EPI) were investigated on [H-3]-norepinephrine (NE), [H-3]-dopamine(DA) and [H-3]-serotonin (5-HT) release from rat prefrontal cortical (PFC) slices. All four agonists evoked [H-3]-DA release to a similar magnitude but with a differing rank order of potency of EPImuch greater thanDMPP approximate to NIC approximate to CYT. Similarly, all four agonists also increased [H-3]-NE release, but with a differing rank order of potency of EPImuch greater thanCYT approximate to DMPP>NIC. NIC-induced [H-3]-NE and [H-3]-DA release responses were both calcium-dependent and attenuated by the sodium channel antagonist, tetrodotoxin (TTX) and by the nAChR antagonists mecamylamine (MEC) and dihydro-beta-erythroidine (DHbetaE), but not by D-tubocurare (D-TC). The modulation of [H-3]-5-HT release by nAChR agonists was distinct from that seen for catecholamines. DMPP produced robust increases with minimal release observed with other agonists. DMPP-induced [H-3]-5-HT release was neither sensitive to known nAChR antagonists nor dependent on external calcium. The differences between nicotinic agonist induced catecholamine and serotonin release suggest involvement of distinct nAChRs. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
