Abstract
P2Y receptors (P2YRs) are a δ group of rhodopsin-like G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) with many essential functions in physiology and pathology, such as platelet aggregation, immune responses, neuroprotective effects, inflammation, and cellular proliferation. Thus, they are among the most researched therapeutic targets used for the clinical treatment of diseases (e.g., the antithrombotic drug clopidogrel and the dry eye treatment drug diquafosol). GPCRs transmit signals as dimers to increase the diversity of signalling pathways and pharmacological activities. Many studies have frequently confirmed dimerization between P2YRs and other GPCRs due to their functions in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular processes in vivo and in vitro. Recently, some P2YR dimers that dynamically balance physiological functions in the body were shown to be involved in effective signal transduction and exert pathological responses. In this review, we summarize the types, pharmacological changes, and active regulators of P2YR-related dimerization, and delineate new functions and pharmacological activities of P2YR-related dimers, which may be a novel direction to improve the effectiveness of medications.

Abstract
GABAA receptors in plasma membranes of neurons are integral oligomers which form chloride channels. The binding of GABA molecules at recognition sites for channel opening triggers a transient increase in transmembrane chloride ion flux. The multiplicity and drug specificity of GABAA receptor, kinetics of channel opening, and desensitization of GABAA receptor and its short- and long-term regulation have been investigated by the use of tracer amounts of the radioactive chloride isotope, 36Cl- ion. Results and new insights from 36Cl- ion flux measurements have been reviewed.

Abstract
Up to 60% of gamma-[3H]aminobutyric acid ([3H]GABA) bound specifically to rat cerebellar membranes in the absence of Ca2+ was insensitive to the GABAA antagonist bicuculline and to the GABAB agonist baclofen. This indicates that a significant component of specifically bound [3H]GABA is associated with non-GABAA, non-GABAB binding sites. The presence of this binding component appeared seasonal, peaking in the month of September (early spring) each year over a 4-year period. The calcium independence and bicuculline and baclofen insensitivity of the binding indicate that this binding is not to the classical GABAA and GABAB binding sites. High concentrations of muscimol and isoguvacine inhibited non-GABAA, non-GABAB binding. Scatchard analysis of the non-GABAA, non-GABAB binding sites indicated two kinetic components: KD1 = 42 nM and KD2 = 9.2 microM; Bmax1 = 1.6 pmol/mg of protein and Bmax2 = 28 pmol/mg of protein.

Abstract
The GABAA receptor has been implicated in the mechanisms underlying the phenomenon of kindling. Photoaffinity labeling with 3H-flunitrazepam followed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis allows the fluorographic visualization of GABAA receptor proteins with benzodiazepine binding sites which presumably correspond to different alpha-subtypes. This method offers an opportunity to investigate whether up- or down-regulation of single benzodiazepine binding proteins occurs. In the present study, labeling patterns of benzodiazepine binding proteins were determined in 12 brains regions of amygdala-kindled rats (2 weeks after the last fully kindled seizure) and sham-operated controls. For most brain regions, labeling patterns were separately determined for the ipsi- and contralateral side. A comparison of the labeling patterns thus obtained revealed no persistent changes between kindled animals and controls in any of the brain regions, including amygdala, substantia nigra and hippocampus. Thus, we conclude that kindling does not induce fluorographically detectable changes in the expression patterns of the benzodiazepine binding proteins. The results confirm the existence of regional heterogeneity of benzodiazepine binding proteins and extend the findings to brain regions which had previously not been investigated.

Abstract
Alterations in brain high energy phosphate compounds, using 31P-NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) spectroscopy, were measured in vivo in young adult (3-4 months) rats following prenatal exposure to ligands acting specifically at benzodiazepine (BDZ) binding sites. The exposure induced a decrease in intracellular pH that indicated a predominant interaction of the drugs in utero with central-type BDZ receptor sites. Late gestational exposure to BDZ ligands also induced changes in brain phosphocreatine (PCr) utilization. Exposure to the lowest dose of DZ (1.0 mg/kg) but not the higher dose (2.5 mg/kg) induced a significant change in PCr utilization. Exposure to the central-type BDZ receptor antagonist RO15-1788 alone clearly altered PCr utilization in adult offspring, and DZ (2.5 mg/kg) when administered concurrently was not able to prevent this effect. Though exposure to a peripheral-type ligand (PK11195) had no effect by itself, it converted the effect of the high dose of DZ to that of the low dose. Together, these results indicate an interaction during development between the central and peripheral-type BDZ binding sites on organization and/or regulation of cellular energy metabolism. Normalized ATP levels were not changed by any prenatal treatment indicating adequate buffering of intracellular ATP by phosphocreatine. The dopaminergic antagonist haloperidol did not alter intracellular pH or any index of phosphate metabolism indicating a selective receptor mediated role for BDZ ligands in influences on the long term organization of intracellular phosphate metabolism.

Abstract
Levels of thiobarbituric acid (TBA)-reactive material were measured in brain regions of 3-4 month-old rats following prenatal exposure to several benzodiazepine (BDZ) receptor ligands over gestational days 14-20. Prenatal exposure to diazepam (DZ) at 1.0 mg/kg/day markedly elevated levels of brain TBA-reactive material while exposure to a higher dose (2.5 mg/kg) induced a significant increase only in the hippocampus. Early exposure to the central-type BDZ agonist clonazepam as well as to the central-type antagonist Ro 15-1788 also increased brain levels of TBA-reactive material. Concurrent exposure to the higher dose of DZ partially attenuated the effect of Ro 15-1788. Prenatal exposure to the peripheral-type BDZ ligand PK11195 produced a profound increase in TBA-reactive products in all regions, and concurrent DZ exposure did not attenuate this effect, except in the basal ganglia. Measurement of TBA-reactive material from birth to 3 months indicated that the effect of prenatal exposure to DZ was not apparent until after 8 weeks of age. Acute in vitro exposure of adult and fetal tissue to DZ had no effect on TBA-reactive material. The results suggest an interference in the organization of cellular metabolism in the brain by developmental exposure to BDZ ligands.

Abstract
Peptide mapping can be used to elucidate further the structural similarities of the benzodiazepine binding proteins in different vertebrate species. Crude synaptic membrane preparations were photoaffinity-labeled with [3H]flunitrazepam and subsequently degraded with various concentrations of trypsin. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by fluorography allowed a comparison of the molecular weights of photolabeled peptides in different species. Tryptic degradation led to a common peptide of 40K in all species investigated, a finding indicating that the benzodiazepine binding proteins are structurally homologous in higher bony fishes and tetrapods.

Abstract
In mammalian cerebella the distribution of high affinity GABAA and benzodiazepine binding sites does not parallel each other. Differences in the molecular structure of the receptor complex or conformational changes have been proposed to explain the lack of a co-localization of these binding sites. Using radio- and immunohistochemistry we were able to obtain similar results for cerebella of non-mammalian species, indicating that the respective distribution of the binding sites is well conserved throughout vertebrate evolution. The gamma-aminobutyric acid agonist [3H]muscimol and the beta-subunit specific antibody bd-17 strongly labeled the granular layer. The radioligands for the benzodiazepine binding site [3H]flunitrazepam and [3H]Ro 15-1788 revealed species variation in the ratio of benzodiazepine receptor density in the granular and molecular layers. In human and pig cerebellum, the localization of antigenic sites recognized by the alpha-subunit specific antibody bd-24 deviates from the distribution of the benzodiazepine binding sites.

Abstract
Brain membrane preparations of different vertebrates were photoaffinity labeled with [3H]flunitrazepam and subsequently deglycosylated with endoglycosidase F and peptide N-glycopeptidase. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by fluorography revealed that each benzodiazepine-binding protein is deglycosylated in two steps, indicating that each protein has two glycosylation sites. Species variation of the apparent molecular masses of the benzodiazepine-binding proteins and regional heterogeneity in avians persist after deglycosylation. These results indicate that the alpha-subunit(s) of the GABA/benzodiazepine receptor has undergone electrophoretically detectable changes in its amino acid composition during vertebrate evolution. The existence of at least two different alpha-subunits in avians is further substantiated.

Abstract
Whilst the brain-specific benzodiazepine receptor has been assumed to show a late evolutionary appearance, we present evidence for the presence of a central benzodiazepine binding site in sharks, which shows a high affinity for [3H]Ro 15-1788. However, the receptor density and the affinities of several benzodiazepine receptor ligands are lower than in mammals, thus presumably explaining why the benzodiazepine binding sites had previously escaped detection in elasmobranchs. Additionally, radio- and immunohistochemistry were performed to localize the radioligand binding sites and the antigenic sites of the shark gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-benzodiazepine receptor. In cerebellum, the granular layer reveals a high density of [3H]muscimol binding sites. The immunoreaction obtained with the beta-subunit-specific monoclonal antibody bd-17 seemingly parallels the distribution of high-affinity GABA binding sites. In contrast, [3H]Ro 15-1788 binding sites are evenly distributed in the molecular and granular layers, thus the results are similar to those previously described for rat cerebellum. Apparently, the respective distributions in this brain region are well conserved throughout vertebrate evolution.

Abstract
The early ontogeny of the central benzodiazepine receptor (BZR) was investigated in human embryos and fetuses between 7 and 26 weeks of gestation. Brain tissue was gained from terminated pregnancies or spontaneous abortions. Binding studies, which were performed with 3H-flunitrazepam (FNZ), revealed that specific benzodiazepine binding is already detectable at an embryonal age of 7 weeks post conceptionem. Binding at this early stage can be displaced potently by clonazepam and the inverse agonist beta-CCE. Additionally, 3H-FNZ binding is enhanced by GABA. Thus, benzodiazepine binding is of the central type. Receptor density increases steeply in whole brain between weeks 8 and 11 of gestation. In frontal cortex receptor density increases gradually between weeks 12 and 26 of gestation. No specific fetal disease entity (including trisomy 21) was consistently associated with exceptionally high or low Bmax-values.

Abstract
The two avian benzodiazepine binding proteins offer an opportunity for further studies concerning their regional variation and their phylo- and ontogenetic development. Accordingly, regional variation of the benzodiazepine binding proteins is investigated further in two reptiles and chicken using photoaffinity labeling with [3H]flunitrazepam followed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and fluorography. Whereas regional heterogeneity is pronounced in chicken, it is not readily apparent in the two reptiles. The ontogeny of the benzodiazepine binding proteins in chicken forebrain and cerebellum is remarkably similar to that previously reported in rodents. The results are discussed in light of the possible existence of the gamma-aminobutyric acid/benzodiazepine receptor as an isoreceptor complex.
