INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2019; 16:E1427. [PMID: 31010095 PMCID: PMC6518254 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph16081427] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2019] [Revised: 04/02/2019] [Accepted: 04/08/2019] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
In this study, several lines of evidence are provided to show that Na + , K + -ATPase activity exerts vital roles in normal brain development and function and that loss of enzyme activity is implicated in neurodevelopmental, neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders, as well as increased risk of cancer, metabolic, pulmonary and cardiovascular disease. Evidence is presented to show that fluoride (F) inhibits Na + , K + -ATPase activity by altering biological pathways through modifying the expression of genes and the activity of glycolytic enzymes, metalloenzymes, hormones, proteins, neuropeptides and cytokines, as well as biological interface interactions that rely on the bioavailability of chemical elements magnesium and manganese to modulate ATP and Na + , K + -ATPase enzyme activity. Taken together, the findings of this study provide unprecedented insights into the molecular mechanisms and biological pathways by which F inhibits Na + , K + -ATPase activity and contributes to the etiology and pathophysiology of diseases associated with impairment of this essential enzyme. Moreover, the findings of this study further suggest that there are windows of susceptibility over the life course where chronic F exposure in pregnancy and early infancy may impair Na + , K + -ATPase activity with both short- and long-term implications for disease and inequalities in health. These findings would warrant considerable attention and potential intervention, not to mention additional research on the potential effects of F intake in contributing to chronic disease.

Abstract
Selegiline is an irreversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase B with trophic and neuroprotective effects. Because of evidence for decreased dopaminergic function during the withdrawal syndromes associated with opiates and other medications with potential for abuse, we investigated effects of treatment with selegiline on in vitro measures of dopamine efflux following opiate withdrawal. Treatment with 2.0 mg/kg/day of selegiline did not modify the severity of opiate withdrawal, as assessed by weight loss over the first 3 days of abstinence. Opiate withdrawal increased immobility in response to a forced warm water swim test performed during the second and third weeks of abstinence following the onset of withdrawal. Brain slices obtained from the nucleus accumbens of opiate-withdrawn animals immediately following swim stress testing displayed diminished efflux of tritiated dopamine after two in vitro exposures to cocaine or amphetamine. Cocaine increases neurotransmitter efflux through blockade of dopamine reuptake, while amphetamine augments efflux by stimulating release of dopamine from intracellular storage vesicles. Although slices from opiate withdrawal subjects showed decreases in efflux after in vitro treatment with these agents, no differences were observed after exposure to 4-aminopyridine, which increases neurotransmitter release by prolonging action potential duration. These findings indicate mechanisms of action that are specific for catecholamine neurotransmitter systems are important for demonstrating long-term changes in dopaminergic function following opiate withdrawal. Selegiline prevented decreases in the efflux of tritiated dopamine in slices obtained from opiate-withdrawn subjects. In addition, selegiline decreased withdrawal-induced immobility during warm water swim testing. In conclusion, treatment with selegiline can prevent long-term changes in stress-induced immobility and deficits in presynaptic dopaminergic function that occur following the opiate withdrawal syndrome.

Abstract
Effects of soman, an irreversible cholinesterase (ChE) inhibitor, on [3H]norepinephrine (NE) release evoked by N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) were studied in rat brain cortical slices. Soman inhibited NMDA-stimulated [3H]NE release in a concentration-dependent manner. This effect was neither reversed by atropine, an antagonist of the muscarinic receptor, nor by d-tubocurarine, an antagonist of the nicotinic receptor. Incubation of the slices with NMDA antagonists, AP5, MK-801, ketamine or magnesium, resulted in inhibitory effects on NMDA-stimulated [3H]NE release. Soman significantly shifted the inhibition curves downward and significant interactions between these chemicals and soman were observed. Glycine potentiated the release of [3H]NE stimulated by NMDA, and soman did not alter this effect of glycine. Soman also inhibited the release of [3H]NE evoked by K+ in a concentration-dependent manner. NMDA-stimulated [3H]NE release was inhibited by tetrodotoxin (TTX), an antagonist of voltage-dependent sodium channels, and a significant interaction between soman and TTX was observed. The [3H]NE release induced by NMDA was dependent on extracellular calcium concentrations and was inhibited by nifedipine, a selective blocker of the L-type voltage-dependent calcium channels (VDCC), or cadmium, a non-specific blocker of VDCC. However, no significant interaction between the effects of soman and calcium, nifedipine, or cadmium was observed. Taken together, the results suggested that: (1) soman has a direct action at non-cholinergic sites; (2) soman may interfere with some of the regulatory sites of the NMDA receptor-ion channel complex; and (3) the voltage-dependent sodium channel, but not VDCC, may be a site of action for soman.

Abstract
Substantial evidence supports an important role for the excitatory neurotransmitter L-glutamate as a modulator of dopamine release in the central nervous system. All of the established glutamate receptor subtypes identified to date have been implicated in the regulation of dopamine release. It appears that glutamate can exert both facilitatory and inhibitory control over dopamine release and that this may be both phasic and tonic in nature. This regulatory role suggests that drugs acting at glutamate receptors may be potentially useful therapeutic agents in neurological disorders such as parkinsonism and schizophrenia.

Abstract
When opiates are abruptly withdrawn after chronic treatment, increases in hippocampal noradrenergic function are observed which are accompanied by decreases in striatal dopamine release. The latter effects have to shown to persist for several weeks following the onset of opiate withdrawal. We examined the long-term effects of opiate withdrawal on 4-aminopyridine and potassium stimulated release of striatal dopamine and hippocampal norepinephrine. Tissue samples were obtained either from rats that had been exposed to opiate withdrawal following a seven day morphine infusion or sham treated control subjects. At 48 hours after the onset of withdrawal (cessation of morphine infusions), slices were loaded with [3H] neurotransmitter, washed extensively, and exposed to different drug treatments. 4-aminopyridine induced concentration related increases in striatal dopamine release, which was 36% calcium independent. Similar values for fractional release of striatal dopamine were obtained in morphine withdrawn and control subjects, for both potassium and 4-aminopyridine induced release. In addition, thresholds for 4-aminopyridine or potassium induced release of striatal dopamine did not differ between control and morphine withdrawn subjects. Treatment with 1.0 microM morphine sulfate potentiated potassium evoked release of norepinephrine to an equal extent in both morphine withdrawn and sham treated hippocampal tissue. Exposure to a threshold concentration of potassium (8.0 mM), stimulated increased release of hippocampal norepinephrine in a significantly greater fraction of tissue samples obtained from morphine withdrawn animals. Although these results do not support changes in striatal dopamine release following opiate withdrawal, opiate mechanisms appear to be important determinants of in vitro hippocampal norepinephrine release.

Abstract
Nitrogen oxides (NO) such as nitric oxide have been suggested to potentiate neurotransmitter release in a variety of neuronal cells. In this study, we showed that NO donors stimulate the release of noradrenaline (NA) from rat hippocampus both in vivo and in vitro. Co-addition of NO donors (sodium nitroprusside [SNP] or S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine [SNAP]) and thiol compounds (dithiothreitol [DTT] or L-cysteine) stimulated [3H]NA release from prelabeled hippocampal slices. Microdialysis in freely moving rats was used to ascertain the role of NO in control of NA release from the hippocampus in vivo. Co-addition of SNAP and L-cysteine stimulated endogenous NA release within 30 min. The concentration of NA peaked between 30-60 min to almost 3 times basal level. Another thiol compound, glutathione, had no effect on [3H]NA release in the presence of SNP or SNAP. In the presence of SNAP, the effect of L-cysteine was much higher than that of the D-isomer, although SNAP did not show stereospecificity. The effect of SNAP/L-cysteine was rapid and the maximal increase in [3H]NA release was attained 0-1 min after application, which was similar in time course to the effect of KCI. Unlike the release by KCI, SNAP/L-cysteine-stimulated NA release was independent of extracellular CaCl2. However, pretreatment with the calmodulin antagonists W-7 or trifluoperazine significantly reduced the SNAP/L-cysteine-stimulated [3H]NA release. Formation of nitric oxide and activation of guanylate cyclase by nitric oxide were not responsible for SNAP/L-cysteine-stimulated NA release. These findings suggest that NO donors stimulate NA release from the hippocampus in the presence of thiol compounds such as L-cysteine in vivo and in vitro in a calmodulin-dependent, Ca(2+)-and cyclic GMP-independent manner. The physiological roles of thiol compounds such as L-cysteine or glutathione as intermediates of NO are discussed.

Abstract
Previous studies in our laboratory have shown that nitric oxide (NO) gas enhances NMDA-stimulated release of preloaded tritiated norepinephrine ([3H]NA) from rat brain slices in a dose-dependent, oxygen-sensitive, and cyclic GMP-independent manner. In this study we have attempted to determine the mechanism for the enhancement of neurotransmitter release seen with NO. No-enhanced transmitter release was not due to buffer acidification or generation of NO degradation products, since reducing buffer pH below 7.3 inhibited NMDA-stimulated [3H]NA release and nitrite or nitrate ions (3-100 microM) had no significant effect on release. Carbon monoxide (CO, 10-300 microM), another diatomic gas with properties similar to NO including heme binding and guanylate cyclase activation, had no significant effect on depolarization-induced [3H]NA release. The NO effect was probably not due to mono-ADP-ribosylation of cellular proteins, since the ADP-ribosyltransferase (ADPRT) inhibitors nicotinamide (10 microM-10 microM) and luminol (1 microM-1mM) did not diminish the enhancement of transmitter release seen with NO. The NA reuptake inhibitor desmethylimipramine (DMI, 10 nM-10 microM) neither mimicked nor blocked the effect of NO, suggesting that NO was not acting via inhibition or reversal of the NA transporter. Similar to NO, the metabolic inhibitors sodium azide (NaN3, 0.1-3 mM), potassium cyanide (KCN, 0.1-3 mM), and 2,4-dinitrophenol (2,4-DNP, 10-300 microM) also dose-dependently enhanced NMDA-stimulated [3H]NA release. These results suggest that NO may enhance neurotransmitter release by inhibiting cellular respiration and perhaps ultimately via altering calcium homeostasis.

Abstract
Age-related inositol phosphate turnover in the rat central nervous system was investigated. Higher phospholipase-C activity and drastically higher (almost 2.5-fold) inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate concentration in the corpus striatum (caudate-putamen) of extremely old (approximately 40 months) female Wistar rats in comparison to the young adult (approximately 3.5 months) rats were observed. Dopamine seems to slightly inhibit total inositol phosphate formation and this effect was antagonized by (-)-sulpiride.

Abstract
Of the five cloned muscarinic receptor subtypes, dopamine (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra and ventral tegmental areas have been shown to be selectively enriched with the mRNA for the m5 subtype, suggesting that muscarinic modulation of DA neurons may have a distinct pharmacology. In the present study we have used dissociated cell cultures of fetal rat ventral mesencephalon to characterize muscarinic modulation of DA neurons. [3H]DA release stimulated by activation of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors was potentiated by carbachol, a mixed muscarinic-nicotinic agonist, and by oxotremorine-M, a muscarinic agonist. Neither carbachol nor oxotremorine-M had an effect on [3H]DA release evoked by the non-NMDA agonists, kainate or quisqualate. A nicotinic agonist, DMPP, had no effect on NMDA-stimulated release. Potentiation of NMDA-stimulated [3H]DA release by oxotremorine-M was inhibited by the broad spectrum muscarinic antagonist, QNB, and by low concentrations of a putative M1 antagonist, pirenzepine, while much higher concentrations of a purported M2 antagonist, AF-DX 384, were required to reverse the oxotremorine-M effect. The muscarinic antagonist, 4-DAMP, was active in a concentration range between that required for pirenzepine and AF-DX 384. Further experiments examined intracellular messenger mechanisms coupled to the muscarinic receptors modulating NMDA-stimulated [3H]DA release. In contrast to oxotremorine-M, two muscarinic agents with only weak partial agonism with respect to phosphoinositide turnover, pilocarpine and arecoline, had no effect on NMDA-stimulated [3H]DA release.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
