Acute Immobilization Stress Modulate GABA Release from Rat Olfactory Bulb: Involvement of Endocannabinoids-Cannabinoids and Acute Stress Modulate GABA Release. Int J Cell Biol 2011; 2011:529851. [PMID: 21785597 PMCID: PMC3139122 DOI: 10.1155/2011/529851] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2011] [Revised: 04/08/2011] [Accepted: 05/17/2011] [Indexed: 01/17/2023] Open
Abstract
We studied the effects of cannabinoids and acute immobilization stress on the regulation of GABA release in the olfactory bulb. Glutamate-stimulated 3H-GABA release was measured in superfused slices. We report that cannabinoids as WIN55, 212-2, methanandamide, and 2-arachidonoylglycerol were able to inhibit glutamate- and KCl-stimulated 3H-GABA release. This effect was blocked by the CB1 antagonist AM281. On the other hand, acute stress was able per se to increase endocannabinoid activity. This effect was evident since the inhibition of stimulated GABA release by acute stress was reversed with AM281 and tetrahydrolipstatin. Inhibition of the endocannabinoid transport or its catabolism showed reduction of GABA release, antagonized by AM281 in control and stressed animals. These results point to endocannabinoids as inhibitory modulators of GABA release in the olfactory bulb acting through an autocrine mechanism. Apparently, stress increases the endocannabinoid system, modulating GABAergic synaptic function in a primary sensory organ.

Abstract
Glutamate stimulated release of [3H]GABA was studied, during receptor desensitization block and its modulation by voltage gated Ca2+ channels, internal Ca2+ mobilization and GABA transport inhibitors from olfactory bulb slices. Under control conditions, glutamate and agonists induced release was strongly inhibited by Mg/0 Ca2+ Krebs and Cd2+ and partially inhibited by Ni2+ and nifedipine. Cyclothiazide, which blocks desensitization of glutamate receptors, potentiated glutamate, kainate, AMPA and quisqualate induced release. This effect was less dependent of entry of external Ca2+, but was inhibited by trifluoperazine and thapsigargin, inhibitors of Ca2+-calmodulin and endoplasmatic Ca2+ ATPase respectively. Nipecotic acid and NO-711, inhibitors of the GABA transporter, were also able to reduce cyclothiazide potentiated release induced by the 4 secretagogues. Under control conditions, glutamate stimulates the release of GABA in cooperation with VDCC. However, during receptor desensitization block, glutamate stimulated GABA release is mainly modulated through mechanisms dependent on internal Ca2+ mobilization and reversal of the GABA transporter.

Abstract
The effect of L-cysteine sulfinic acid (CSA) and L-homocysteic acid (HCA) on the release of tritiated gamma-amino butyric acid ([3H]GABA), from the external plexiform layer (EPL) of the rat olfactory bulb, was compared with that of glutamate. These amino acids induced release of GABA was strongly inhibited by the glutamate uptake blocker, pyrrolidine-2,4-dicarboxylate (2,4,PDC) (50 microM), while it was not inhibited by the specific GABA uptake blockers nipecotic acid (0.5 mM) or NO-711 (5 microM). Only the HCA induced GABA release was 60% inhibited by beta-alanine (0.5 mM), a glial GABA uptake blocker and 78% by the NMDA receptor antagonist 2-amino-5-phosphonopentanoic acid (AP-5) (100 microM). The non-NMDA receptor antagonists 6-cyano-2,3-dihydroxy-7-nitro-quinoxaline (CNQX) up to 500 microM had no effect on HCA or CSA stimulated GABA release. These results bring evidence for an excitatory role of HCA and CSA together with glutamate on GABAergic neuronal or glial elements, in the olfactory bulb. This role could be mediated through the reversal of the glutamate or/and the glial GABA transporter and through the activation of a NMDA type receptor.

Abstract
Using an in vitro microsuperfusion device we have previously demonstrated that in the absence of magnesium, the N-methyl-D-aspartate-evoked release of [3H]dopamine (continuously synthesized from [3H]tyrosine) is more prominent in matrix- than in striosome-enriched areas of the rat striatum and that in the matrix, the response is partially tetrodotoxin-sensitive. Since the medium-sized GABAergic neurons are the main targets of the corticostriatal glutamatergic fibers, the involvement of local GABAergic regulation in the N-methyl-D-aspartate-evoked release of [3H]dopamine was investigated in both striatal compartments using the same experimental approach. Firstly, bicuculline alone (5 microM, 25-min application) was shown to enhance the release of [3H]dopamine similarly in both compartments revealing the existence of a tonic GABAergic control of the spontaneous release of [3H]dopamine. Secondly, the N-methyl-D-aspartate (50 microM, 25-min application)-evoked release of [3H]dopamine was markedly amplified in the presence of bicuculline (5 microM, continuous delivery). This effect being more important in striosome- than in matrix-enriched areas (5.5- and two-times the N-methyl-D-aspartate-evoked response observed in the absence of the GABAA antagonist, respectively). Thirdly, the tetrodotoxin (1 microM, continuous delivery)-resistant N-methyl-D-aspartate-evoked responses were also enhanced in the presence of bicuculline, but in this case, the amplification of the N-methyl-D-aspartate-evoked release of [3H]dopamine was less marked than in the absence of tetrodotoxin and identical in both compartments (about two-times the tetrodotoxin-resistant N-methyl-D-aspartate-evoked responses observed in the absence of bicuculline). Altogether, these results indicate that GABAergic neurons exert locally an important inhibitory regulation of the N-methyl-D-aspartate-evoked release of dopamine and that this effect is more prominent in the striosome-enriched area. Both tetrodotoxin-sensitive (striosome) and tetrodotoxin-resistant (striosome and matrix) processes intervene in this inhibitory GABAergic presynaptic regulation of dopamine release.

Abstract
The effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) on the spontaneous release of endogenous glutamic acid (Glu) or aspartic acid (Asp) and the effects of Glu on the release of endogenous GABA or [3H]GABA were studied in superfused rat cerebral cortex synaptosomes. GABA increased the outflow of Glu (EC50 17.2 microM) and Asp (EC50 18.4 microM). GABA was not antagonized by bicuculline or picrotoxin. Neither muscimol nor (-)-baclofen mimicked GABA. The effects of GABA were prevented by GABA uptake inhibitors and were Na+ dependent. Glu enhanced the release of [3H]GABA (EC50 11.5 microM) from cortical synaptosomes. Glu was not mimicked by the glutamate receptor agonists N-methyl-D-aspartic, kainic, or quisqualic acid. The Glu effect was decreased by the Glu uptake inhibitor D-threo-hydroxyaspartic acid (THA) and it was Na+ sensitive. Similarly to Glu, D-Asp increased [3H]GABA release (EC50 9.9 microM), an effect blocked by THA. Glu also increased the release of endogenous GABA from cortex synaptosomes. In this case the effect was in part blocked by the (RS)-alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor antagonist 6-cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione, whereas the 6-cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione-insensitive portion of the effect was prevented by THA. GABA increased the [3H]D-Asp outflow (EC50 13.7 microM) from hippocampal synaptosomes in a muscimol-, (-)-baclofen-, bicuculline-, and picrotoxin-insensitive manner. The GABA effect was abolished by blocking GABA uptake and was Na+ dependent.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
A partially purified toxin from the marine sponge Haliclona viridis was studied for its effect on the presynaptic release mechanism of 3H-gamma-aminobutyric acid from nerve terminals of the external plexiform layer of rat olfactory bulb. Previously, the toxin of H. viridis was shown to block the resting potassium conductance in frog muscle. In the present study, the toxin induced a reversible release of 3H-gamma-aminobutyric acid in the external plexiform layer. This effect was similar to that induced by 25 mM K+. The toxin-induced outflow of 3H-gamma-aminobutyric acid was concentration dependent. The action of the toxin was specific for gamma-aminobutyric acid secretion from the external plexiform layer, and dopamine liberation from the frontal cortex; the toxin did not release 3H-valine, a non-neurotransmitter amino acid, from the external plexiform layer. Toxin- and high K(+)-induced neurotransmitter release were both drastically reduced when Ca2+ was removed from the saline. The addition of 0.3 microM tetrodotoxin or the removal of Na+ from the saline did not reduce the toxin's ability to release neurotransmitters. The effect of toxin was enhanced by the addition of valinomycin. Although Haliclona toxin and 4-aminopyridine induced the release of neurotransmitters, they antagonized each other's effect on gamma-aminobutyric acid secretion when added simultaneously.

Abstract
Treatment of ovariectomized rats with both estradiol and progesterone in vivo resulted in a marked enhancement of glutamate-induced release of newly synthesized [3H]gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) from synaptosomes of the preoptic area in vitro. With this treatment, as little as 0.01 nM glutamate, in vitro, enhanced release of GABA. In contrast, glutamate, in vitro, did not stimulate release of GABA from synaptosomes, obtained from rats treated with either estradiol or progesterone alone and only large concentrations of glutamate (1.0 and 10 mM) caused a modest release of GABA from synaptosomes from ovariectomized, vehicle-treated rats. Also, treatment with estradiol plus progesterone did not alter glutamate-induced release or exchange of [3H]glutamate. Glutamate-induced release of GABA was calcium-independent and attenuated by the putative chloride channel antagonist, 4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-DL-disulfonic acid. Thus, glutamate-induced, steroid-enhanced release of GABA may occur through a chloride-dependent carrier rather than by exocytosis. In addition to enhancement by glutamate, release of GABA was also enhanced by D-aspartate, an agent that is transported by the neuronal glutamate carrier. It is postulated that enhancement of glutamate-induced release of GABA, by estradiol plus progesterone in the preoptic area, represents one process by which these steroids modulate reproductive function in female rats.

Abstract
The distribution of the calcium binding protein calretinin (protein 10) was examined in the rat forebrain by immunohistochemistry. The main and accessory olfactory bulbs had immunoreactive label in granule, periglomerular, and mitral cells. Positive fibers were noted in the external plexiform and granule cell layers, glomeruli, and in the molecular layer of the anterior olfactory nucleus. The cerebral cortex contained calretinin label in nonpyramidal bipolar cells. Cells in the substantia nigra compacta and ventral tegmental area were also calretinin positive as were nigrostriatal and mesolimbic projections (caudate-putamen, nucleus accumbens). In the hippocampus, interneurons were stained in all the subfields of the CA1-CA4 regions. In the thalamus, many positive cells were observed in the periventricular, reticular, lateral habenula, and reunions nuclei. Calretinin immunoreactive cells were particularly abundant in the lateral mamillary and septofimbrial nuclei. Several fiber tracts were also revealed, i.e., the lateral olfactory tract, mamillothalamic tract, fasciculus retroflexus, optic tract, and stria medullaris. These results demonstrate a distinct distribution of calretinin within cell bodies and fibers.

Abstract
We have investigated the effects of the phencyclidine like-compounds ketamine and MK801 on the evoked field potentials of rat olfactory bulb. Low doses of ketamine (3-6 mg/kg) blocked the inhibition of mitral cells by granule cells evoked by stimulation of lateral olfactory tract fibres or by stimulation of olfactory nerve. This blockade was not accompanied by a decrease in granule cell excitation as revealed by field potential recording. MK801 had a similar effect on the inhibition of mitral cells evoked by stimulation of the lateral olfactory tract. As ketamine does not influence the inhibitory action of GABA (Anis et al. 1983) these results suggest that both ketamine and MK801 block inhibition by an action on intrinsic excitatory feed-back circuits in the olfactory bulb.

Abstract
N-Methyl-D-aspartate, kainate, and quisqualate released endogenous adenosine from superfused slices of rat parietal cortex. N-Methyl-D-aspartate-evoked adenosine release was blocked by D,L-2-amino-5-phosphono-valeric acid and (+)-5-methyl-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-5,10-imine hydrogen maleate (MK-801), indicating that it was receptor-mediated, although it did not show the expected potentiation in the absence of Mg2+. In contrast, N-methyl-D-aspartate-evoked release of [3H]noradrenaline from the same slices was markedly potentiated in Mg2(+)-free medium. Therefore, the lack of Mg2+ modulation of N-methyl-D-aspartate-evoked adenosine release was not due to depolarization-induced alleviation of the Mg2+ block in the slices. Kainate-evoked adenosine release was diminished by the non-specific excitatory amino acid antagonist, gamma-D-glutamyl-glycine, and kainate- and quisqualate-evoked adenosine release was diminished by 6,7-dinitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione, indicating that these agonists release adenosine by acting at non-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors. Tetrodotoxin decreased N-methyl-D-aspartate- and kainate-evoked adenosine release by 40% and 19% respectively, indicating that release was mediated in part by propagated action potentials in the slices. Total release of adenosine by N-methyl-D-aspartate, kainate or quisqualate was not diminished in the absence of Ca2+. A second exposure to kainate following restoration of Ca2+ to slices previously depolarized in the absence of Ca2+ resulted in an amount of adenosine release equal to an initial release by slices in the presence of Ca2+, a result suggesting the presence of separate Ca2(+)-dependent and Ca2(+)-independent pools of adenosine. The present experiments demonstrate that activation of all three major subtypes of excitatory amino acid receptors in the cortex releases adenosine, possibly from separate Ca2(+)-dependent and -independent pools. Adenosine released from the cortex following excitatory amino acid stimulation may, by acting at inhibitory P1 purinoceptors, diminish excitatory neurotransmission and protect against excitotoxicity.
