Abstract
Calcitonin gene-related peptide (α-CGRP) released from perivascular sensory nerves induces decreases in diastolic blood pressure (DBP). Experimentally, this can be shown by spinal thoracic (T9-T12) electrical stimulation of these afferent fibers. Because ergotamine inhibits these neurogenic vascular responses and displays affinity for monoaminergic receptors that inhibit neurotransmitter release, we investigated whether this ergotamine-induced inhibition results from activation of serotonin 5-HT1B/1D, dopamine D2-like, and α2-adrenergic receptors. Wistar rats were pithed and, under autonomic ganglion blockade, received intravenous infusions of methoxamine followed by ergotamine (0.1-3.1 μg kg-1 min-1). Thoracic T9-T12 electrical stimulation or an intravenous bolus of α-CGRP resulted in decreases in DBP. Ergotamine inhibited the electrically induced, but not α-CGRP-induced, responses. The vasodilator sensory inhibition by 3.1 μg of ergotamine kg-1 min-1 was resistant to simultaneous blockade of 5-HT1B/1D, D2-like, and α2-adrenergic receptors upon addition of antagonists GR127935, haloperidol, and rauwolscine. Moreover, the inhibition by 0.31 μg of ergotamine kg-1 min-1 was unaltered by GR127935 and haloperidol, partly blocked by GR127935 and rauwolscine or rauwolscine and haloperidol, and abolished by GR127935, haloperidol, and rauwolscine. These findings imply that prejunctional 5-HT1B/1D, D2-like, and α2-adrenergic receptors mediate the sensory inhibition induced by 0.31 μg of ergotamine kg-1 min-1, whereas larger doses may involve other receptors. Thus, ergotamine's ability to inhibit the perivascular sensory peptidergic drive may result in facilitation of its systemic vasoconstrictor properties.

Dihydroergotamine inhibits the vasodepressor sensory CGRPergic outflow by prejunctional activation of α 2-adrenoceptors and 5-HT 1 receptors. J Headache Pain 2018; 19:40. [PMID: 29802544 PMCID: PMC5970131 DOI: 10.1186/s10194-018-0869-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2018] [Accepted: 05/14/2018] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Dihydroergotamine (DHE) is an antimigraine drug that produces cranial vasoconstriction and inhibits trigeminal CGRP release; furthermore, it inhibits the vasodepressor sensory CGRPergic outflow, but the receptors involved remain unknown. Prejunctional activation of α2A/2C-adrenergic, serotonin 5-HT1B/1F, or dopamine D2-like receptors results in inhibition of this CGRPergic outflow. Since DHE displays affinity for these receptors, this study investigated the pharmacological profile of DHE-induced inhibition of the vasodepressor sensory CGRPergic outflow. METHODS Pithed rats were pretreated i.v. with hexamethonium (2 mg/kg·min) followed by continuous infusions of methoxamine (20 μg/kg·min) and DHE (3.1 μg/kg·min). Then, stimulus-response curves (spinal electrical stimulation; T9-T12) or dose-response curves (i.v. injections of α-CGRP) resulted in frequency-dependent or dose-dependent decreases in diastolic blood pressure. RESULTS DHE inhibited the vasodepressor responses to electrical stimulation (0.56-5.6 Hz), without affecting those to i.v. α-CGRP (0.1-1 μg/kg). This inhibition by DHE (not produced by the methoxamine infusions): (i) was abolished by pretreatment with the combination of the antagonists rauwolscine (α2-adrenoceptor; 310 μg/kg) plus GR127935 (5-HT1B/1D; 31 μg/kg); and (ii) remained unaffected after rauwolscine (310 μg/kg), GR127935 (31 μg/kg) or haloperidol (D2-like; 310 μg/kg) given alone, or after the combination of rauwolscine plus haloperidol or GR127935 plus haloperidol at the aforementioned doses. CONCLUSION DHE-induced inhibition of the vasodepressor sensory CGRPergic outflow is mainly mediated by prejunctional rauwolscine-sensitive α2-adrenoceptors and GR127935-sensitive 5-HT1B/1D receptors, which correlate with α2A/2C-adrenoceptors and 5-HT1B receptors, respectively. These findings suggest that DHE-induced inhibition of the perivascular sensory CGRPergic outflow may facilitate DHE's vasoconstrictor properties resulting in an increased vascular resistance.

Abstract
This study has investigated the role of the α2-adrenoceptor subtypes involved in the inhibition of the cardiac sympathetic outflow induced by intravenous (i.v) infusions of agmatine. Therefore, we analysed the effect of an i.v. bolus injections of the selective antagonists BRL 44408 (300μg/kg; α2A), imiloxan (3000μg/kg; α2B), and JP-1302 (300μg/kg; α2C) given separately, and their combinations: BRL 44408 plus Imiloxan, JP 1302 plus imiloxan, BRL 44408 plus JP-1302, BRL 44408 plus imiloxan plus JP-1302 on the cardiac sympatho-inhibition of agmatine. Also, the effect of the combination BRL 44408 plus JP-1302 plus AGN 192403 (3000μg/kg; I1 antagonist) was evaluated. In this way, i.v. infusions of 1000μg/kg min of agmatine, but not 300, inhibited the tachycardic response induced by electrical stimulation. Furthermore, the antagonists used or their combinations had no effect on the electrically-induced tachycardic response. On the other hand, the inhibitory response of agmatine was: (1) partially antagonized by BRL 44408 or JP-1302 given separately, a similar response was observed when we administered their combination with imiloxan, but not by imiloxan alone, (2) antagonized in greater magnitude by the combination BRL 44408 plus JP-1302 or the combination BRL 44408 plus imiloxan plus JP-1302, and (3) abolished by the combination BRL 44408 plus JP-1302 plus AGN 192403. Taken together, these results demonstrate that the α2A- and α2C-adrenoceptor subtypes and I1-imidazoline receptors are involved in the inhibition of the cardiac sympathetic outflow induced by agmatine.

Abstract
The sympathetic nervous system that innervates the peripheral circulation is regulated by several mechanisms/receptors. It has been reported that prejunctional 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, 5-HT1D, D2-like receptors and α2-adrenoceptors mediate the inhibition of the vasopressor sympathetic outflow in pithed rats. In addition, ergotamine, an antimigraine drug, displays affinity at the above receptors and may explain some of its adverse/therapeutic effects. Thus, the aims of this study were to investigate in pithed rats: (i) whether ergotamine produces inhibition of the vasopressor sympathetic outflow; and (ii) the major receptors involved in this effect. For this purpose, male Wistar pithed rats were pre-treated with gallamine (25 mg/kg; i.v.) and desipramine (50 µg/kg) and prepared to stimulate the vasopressor sympathetic outflow (T7-T9; 0.03-3 Hz) or to receive i.v. bolus of exogenous noradrenaline (0.03-3 µg/kg). I.v. continuous infusions of ergotamine (1 and 1.8 μg/kgmin) dose-dependently inhibited the vasopressor responses to sympathetic stimulation but not those to exogenous noradrenaline. The sympatho-inhibition elicited by 1.8 μg/kg min ergotamine was (i) unaffected by saline (1 ml/kg); (ii) partially antagonised by WAY 100635 (5-HT1A; 30 μg/kg) and rauwolscine (α2-adrenoceptor; 300 μg/kg), and (iii) dose-dependently blocked by GR 127935 (5-HT1B/1D; 100 and 300 μg/kg) or raclopride (D2-like; 300 and 1000 μg/kg), The above doses of antagonists did not modify per se the sympathetically-induced vasopressor responses. The above results suggest that ergotamine induces inhibition of the vasopressor sympathetic outflow by activation of prejunctional 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B/1D, α2-adrenoceptors and D2-like receptors in pithed rats.

Abstract
It has been suggested that N,N-di-n-propyl-dopamine (dopamine analogue) decreased heart rate in rats through stimulation of dopamine receptors. Nevertheless, the role of prejunctional dopamine D1/2-like receptors or even α2-adrenoceptors to mediate cardiac sympatho-inhibition induced by dopamine remains unclear. Hence, this study identified the pharmacological profile of the cardiac sympatho-inhibition to dopamine in pithed rats. Male Wistar rats were pithed and prepared to stimulate the cardiac sympathetic outflow or to receive i.v. bolus of exogenous noradrenaline. I.v. continuous infusions of dopamine (endogenous ligand) or quinpirole (D2-like agonist) dose-dependently inhibited the tachycardic responses to sympathetic stimulation, but not those to exogenous noradrenaline. In contrast, SKF-38393 (100 μg/kg∙min, D1-like agonist) failed to modify both of these responses. The sympatho-inhibition to dopamine (1.8 μg/kg∙min) or quinpirole (100 μg/kg∙min): i) remained unaltered after saline or the antagonists SCH-23390 (D1-like, 300 μg/kg) and rauwolscine (α2-adrenoceptors, 300 μg/kg); and ii) was significantly antagonized by raclopride (D2-like, 300 μg/kg). These antagonists, at the above doses, failed to modify the sympathetically-induced tachycardic responses. The above results suggest that the inhibition of the cardiac sympathetic outflow to dopamine and quinpirole is primarily mediated by prejunctional D2-like receptors but not D1-like receptors or α2-adrenoceptors.

Abstract
Ergotamine has been used in clinical practice for the acute treatment of migraine for over 90 years. So far, it is known that ergotamine interacts with diverse receptors (including α1/2-adrenoceptors, 5-HT1, 5-HT2 and D2-like receptors) and that produces increases in mean blood pressure which are significantly blocked by yohimbine, a classical α2-adrenoceptor antagonist with a moderate affinity for α1-adrenoceptors. Since α1/2-adrenoceptors mediate vasopressor and vasoconstrictor responses in the cardiovascular system, this study was designed to identify the α-adrenoceptor subtypes (α1A, α1B, α1D, α2A, α2B and α2C) involved in ergotamine-induced vasopressor responses in pithed rats. In male Wistar pithed rats baseline heart rate and blood pressure were recorded. Then, the vasopressor responses to intravenous (i.v.) bolus injections of ergotamine were determined after administration of vehicle or several α1⧸2-adrenoceptor antagonists. I.v. administration of the antagonists prazosin (α1, 0.1-30 µg/kg), rauwolscine (α2, 0.3-300 µg/kg), prazosin (0.1 µg/kg) plus rauwolscine (0.3 µg/kg), 5-methylurapidil (α1A, 100 and 300 µg/kg), L-765,314 (α1B, 100 and 300 µg/kg), BMY 7378 (α1D, 100 and 300 µg/kg), BRL44408 (α2A, 300 and 1000 µg/kg) and JP-1302 (α2C, 300 µg/kg), significantly blocked the vasopressor responses to ergotamine, whereas imiloxan (α2B, 1000 and 3000 µg/kg), JP-1302 (100 µg/kg) or the corresponding vehicles (saline 0.9%, propylene glycol 20% or dimethyl sulfoxide 10%; 1ml/kg) failed to modify the responses to ergotamine. The above results suggest that the vasopressor responses to ergotamine in pithed rats are mainly mediated by α1A-, α1B-, α1D-, α2A- and α2C-adrenoceptors and may explain its adverse/therapeutic effects.
