Abstract
Cerebrovascular diseases involve neuronal damage, resulting in degenerative neuropathy and posing a serious threat to human health. The discovery of effective drug components from natural plants and the study of their mechanism are a research idea different from chemical synthetic medicines. Paeonol is the main active component of traditional Chinese medicine Paeonia lactiflora Pall. It widely exists in many medicinal plants and has pharmacological effects such as anti-atherosclerosis, antiplatelet aggregation, anti-oxidation, and anti-inflammatory, which keeps generally used in the treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Based on the therapeutic effects of Paeonol for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, this article reviewed the pharmacological effects of Paeonol in Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, stroke, epilepsy, diabetes encephalopathy, and other neurological diseases, providing a reference for the research of the mechanism of Paeonol in central nervous system diseases.

Eur J Pharmacol 2016; 784:49-60.

Abstract
Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings investigated the electrophysiological effects of 2'-hydroxy-4'-methoxyacetophenone (paeonol), one of the major components of Moutan Cortex, in hippocampal CA1 neurons and nucleus ambiguus (NA) neurons from neonatal rats as well as in lung epithelial H1355 cells expressing Kv2.1 or Kv1.2. Extracellular application of paeonol at 100μM did not significantly affect the spontaneous action potential frequency, whereas paeonol at 300μM increased the frequency of spontaneous action potentials in hippocampal CA1 neurons. Paeonol (300μM) significantly decreased the tetraethylammonium-sensitive outward current in hippocampal CA1 neurons, but had no effect upon the fast-inactivating potassium current (IA). Extracellular application of paeonol at 300μM did not affect action potentials or the delayed outward currents in NA neurons. Paeonol (100μM) reduced the Kv2.1 current in H1355 cells, but not the Kv1.2 current. The inhibitor of Kv2, guangxitoxin-1E, reduced the delayed outward potassium currents in hippocampal neurons, but had only minimal effects in NA neurons. We demonstrated that paeonol decreased the delayed outward current and increased excitability in hippocampal CA1 neurons, whereas these effects were not observed in NA neurons. These effects may be associated with the inhibitory effects on Kv2.1 currents.

Cholesterol influences potassium currents in inner hair cells isolated from guinea pig cochlea. Auris Nasus Larynx 2016; 44:46-51. [PMID: 27210104 DOI: 10.1016/j.anl.2016.04.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2016] [Revised: 04/05/2016] [Accepted: 04/16/2016] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE There is a correlation between serum hyperlipidemia and hearing loss. Cholesterol is an integral component of the cell membrane and regulates the activity of ion channels in the lipid bilayer. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of cholesterol on the potassium currents in IHCs by using the cholesterol-depleting drug, MβCD, and water-soluble cholesterol. METHODS IHCs were acutely isolated from a mature guinea-pig cochlea and potassium currents were recorded. MβCD and water-soluble cholesterol were applied to IHCs under pressure puff pipettes. RESULTS IHCs showed outwardly rectifying currents (IK,f and IK,s) in response to depolarizing voltage pulses, with only a slight inward current (IK,n) when hyperpolarized. In 10mM MβCD solutions, the amplitude of outward K currents reversely decreased; however, fast activation kinetics was preserved. In contrast, in solution of 1mM water-soluble cholesterol, the amplitude of outward K currents reversely increased. At the membrane potential of +110mV, relative conductances were 0.87±0.07 and 1.18±0.11 in MβCD solutions and cholesterol solutions, respectively. CONCLUSION The amplitude of K currents in isolated IHCs was reversely changed by cholesterol-depleting drug and water-soluble cholesterol. These results demonstrated the possibility of the involvement of IHC function in hyperlipidemia-induced inner ear disorders.

Temperature enhances activation and inactivation kinetics of potassium currents in inner hair cells isolated from Guinea-pig cochlea. Clin Exp Otorhinolaryngol 2013; 6:140-5.

Abstract
Objectives Until recently, most patch-clamp recordings in inner hair cells (IHCs) have been performed at room temperature. The results acquired at room temperature should be corrected if they are to be related to in vivo findings. However, the temperature dependency to ion channels in IHCs is unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of temperature on the potassium currents in IHCs. Methods IHCs were isolated from a mature guinea-pig cochlea and potassium currents were recorded at room temperature (around 25℃) and physiological temperatures (35℃-37℃). Results IHCs showed outwardly rectifying currents in response to depolarizing voltage pulses, with only a slight inward current when hyperpolarized. The amplitude of both outward and inward currents demonstrated no temperature dependency, however, activation and inactivation rates were faster at 36℃ than at room temperature. Half-time for activation was shorter at 36℃ than at room temperature at membrane potentials of -10, +10, +20, +30, and +40 mV. Q10 for the activation rate was 1.83. The inactivation time constant in outward tetraethylammonium-sensitive potassium currents was much smaller at 36℃ than at room temperature between the membrane potentials of -20 and +60 mV. Q10 for the inactivation time constant was 3.19. Conclusion The results of this study suggest that the amplitude of potassium currents in IHCs showed no temperature dependence either in outward or inward-going currents, however, activation and inactivation accelerated at physiological temperatures.

Abstract
Although salicylate is one of the most widely used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, it causes moderate hearing loss and tinnitus at high-dose levels. In the present study, salicylate effects on the K currents in inner hair cells were examined. Salicylate reversibly reduced the outward K currents (I(K,f)), but did not affect the inward current (I(K,n)). Salicylate blocked the outward K currents in a concentration-dependent manner according to Hill equation with a half-blocking concentration of 1.66mM, and the Hill coefficient of 1.86.

Abstract
Neuromodulators that alter the balance between lower-frequency glutamate-mediated excitatory and higher-frequency GABA-mediated inhibitory synaptic transmission are likely to participate in core mechanisms for CNS function and may contribute to the pathophysiology of neurological disorders such as schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease. Pregnenolone sulfate (PS) modulates both ionotropic glutamate and GABA(A) receptor mediated synaptic transmission. The enzymes necessary for PS synthesis and degradation are found in brain tissue of several species including human and rat, and up to 5 nM PS has been detected in extracts of postmortem human brain. Here, we ask whether PS could modulate transmitter release from nerve terminals located in the striatum. Superfusion of a preparation of striatal nerve terminals comprised of mixed synaptosomes and synaptoneurosomes with brief-duration (2 min) pulses of 25 nM PS demonstrates that PS increases the release of newly accumulated [3H]dopamine ([3H]DA), but not [14C]glutamate or [3H]GABA, whereas pregnenolone is without effect. PS does not affect dopamine transporter (DAT) mediated uptake of [3H]DA, demonstrating that it specifically affects the transmitter release mechanism. The PS-induced [3H]DA release occurs via an NMDA receptor (NMDAR) dependent mechanism as it is blocked by D-2-amino-5-phosphonovaleric acid. PS modulates DA release with very high potency, significantly increasing [3H]DA release at PS concentrations as low as 25 pM. This first report of a selective direct enhancement of synaptosomal dopamine release by PS at picomolar concentrations via an NMDAR dependent mechanism raises the possibility that dopaminergic axon terminals may be a site of action for this neurosteroid.

Inhibition of voltage-gated channel currents in rat auditory cortex neurons by salicylate. Neuropharmacology 2007; 53:870-80.

Abstract
Salicylate is a medicine for anti-inflammation with a side effect of tinnitus. To understand the mechanisms of tinnitus induced by salicylate, we studied the effects of salicylate on voltage-gated ion channels and action potential firing rates in freshly dissociated rat pyramidal neurons in auditory cortex (AC) using the whole-cell patch technique. We found that salicylate reduced the voltage-gated sodium current (I(Na)), the delayed rectifier potassium current (I(K(DR))) and the L-type voltage-gated calcium current (I(Ca,L)) in concentration-dependent manner. An amount of 1mM salicylate shifted the steady-state inactivation curve of I(Na) negatively by about 5mV, shifted the steady-state activation and inactivation curve of I(K(DR)) negatively by approximately 14mV and 17mV, respectively, and shifted the steady-state activation curve of I(Ca,L) negatively by about 10mV. 1mM salicylate significantly increased the action potential firing rates, ultimately. From the results, we speculated that through affecting the voltage-gated ion channels in AC, an important position in auditory system, salicylate increased the firing rate of neurons and enhanced neuronal excitability on the one hand, increased the excitatory transmitters release and reduced the inhibitory transmitter release on the other hand, thus finally induced tinnitus.

Abstract
We have directly observed the effects of activating presynaptic D1-like and D2-like dopamine receptors on Ca2+ levels in isolated nerve terminals (synaptosomes) from rat striatum. R-(+)-SKF81297, a selective D1-like receptor agonist, and (-)-quinpirole, a selective D2-like receptor agonist, induced increases in Ca2+ levels in different subsets of individual striatal synaptosomes. The SKF81297- and quinpirole-induced effects were blocked by R-(+)-SCH23390, a D1-like receptor antagonist, and (-)-sulpiride, a D2-like receptor antagonist, respectively. SKF81297- or quinpirole-induced Ca2+ increases were inhibited following blockade of voltage-gated calcium channels or sodium channels. In a larger subset of synaptosomes, quinpirole decreased baseline Ca2+. Quinpirole also inhibited veratridine-induced increases in intrasynaptosomal Ca2+ level. Immunostaining confirmed the presynaptic expression of D1, D5, D2 and D3 receptors, but not D4 receptors. The array of neurotransmitter phenotypes of the striatal nerve endings expressing D1, D5, D2 or D3 varied for each receptor subtype. These results suggest that presynaptic D1-like and D2-like receptors induce increases in Ca2+ levels in different subsets of nerve terminals via Na+ channel-mediated membrane depolarization, which, in turn, induces the opening of voltage-gated calcium channels. D2-like receptors also reduce nerve terminal Ca2+ in a different but larger subset of synaptosomes, consistent with the predominant presynaptic action of dopamine in the striatum being inhibitory.

Abstract
The effects of salicylate (a tinnitus inducer) were studied on the transient outward potassium current (I(K(A))) and the delayed rectifier potassium current (I(K(DR))) in acutely dissociated rat inferior colliculus neurons by the whole-cell voltage-clamp method. Salicylate's inhibition of the amplitude of I(K(A)) and I(K(DR)) was concentration-dependent. The IC(50) values for the blocking action of salicylate on I(K(A)) and I(K(DR)) were 2.27 and 0.80 mM, respectively. At a concentration of 1 mM, salicylate significantly shifted the activation and inactivation curves of I(K(DR)) negatively by approximately 11 and 24 mV, respectively, but did not shift the I(K(A)) curves. In conclusion, salicylate inhibits both I(K(A)) and I(K(DR)) in rat inferior colliculus neurons but only significantly affects the activation and inactivation kinetics of I(K(DR)). Depression of I(K(DR)) by salicylate may play an important role in salicylate-induced tinnitus.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate mechanisms of suppression of norepinephrine release by 7-OH-DPAT, a dopamine D(2)/D(3) receptor agonist, in PC12 cells pretreated with nerve growth factor (NGF). 7-OH-DPAT caused inhibition of basal and K(+)-evoked norepinephrine release, which could be blocked by pretreatment with raclopride, a D(2)/D(3) receptor antagonist. Moreover, dopamine D(2) and D(3 )receptors were identified by immunocytochemistry. Expression of D(2), D(3), and D(4) mRNAs and their proteins were detected using RT-PCR and immunoblotting. Furthermore, 7-OH-DPAT produced no change in cGMP levels; however, 7-OH-DPAT inhibited forskolin-stimulated cAMP accumulation that was antagonized by pretreatment with raclopride. In addition, 7-OH-DPAT inhibited carbachol-induced Ca(2+) transient, conversely, 7-OH-DPAT had no effect on 4-aminopyridine-induced Ca(2+) transient. Taken together, suppression of cAMP accumulation and calcium mobilization by 7-OH-DPAT is involved in the inhibition of norepinephrine release through activation of dopamine D(2)/D(3) receptors.

Abstract
Galantamine is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor in Alzheimer's disease therapy. In the present study, we investigated the effects of galantamine on delayed rectifier potassium current (I(K(DR))) and transient outward potassium current (I(K(A))) in acutely dissociated rat hippocampal pyramidal neurons by using whole-cell patch clamp technique. I(K(DR)) was inhibited by galantamine in a concentration-dependent manner, while I(K(A)) remained unaffected. The IC(50) value for the blocking action of galantamine on I(K(DR)) was calculated as 2.0 microM. At the concentration of 10 microM, galantamine inhibited I(K(DR)) by 40.2% at +40 mV when depolarized from -50 mV, and shifted the activation curve and inactivation curve of I(K(DR)) to negative potential by -3.8 mV and -11.0 mV, respectively. In conclusion, galantamine potently inhibits I(K(DR)) but not I(K(A)) in rat hippocampal pyramidal neurons.
