Trans-synaptic induction of adrenomedullary tyrosine hydroxylase activity by choline: evidence that choline administration can increase cholinergic transmission.

Abstract:

:Twenty-four hours after rats receive choline chloride (20 mmol/kg, by stomach tube) the activity of tyrosine hydroxylase [tyrosine 3-monooxygenase; L-tyrosine, tetrahydropteridine:oxygen oxidoreductase (3-hydroxylating), EC 1.14.16.2] increases by 31% within adrenomedullary chromaffin cells. This treatment also causes major elevations in the levels of choline and acetylcholine within the adrenal gland; however, acetylcholine levels return to normal by 16 hr after the choline is given. The daily administration of 10 or 20 mmol/kg of choline for 4 days elevates adrenal tyrosine hydroxylase activity by 29% or 51%, respectively. Such increases in tyrosine hydroxylase activity are not observed in animals given ammonium chloride, another basic chloride-containing compound, by stomach tube or in animals treated with cycloheximide, an inhibitor of adrenal protein synthesis. They are also absent in denervated adrenals. These observations demonstrate that the increase in presynaptic acetylcholine levels produced by giving animals the neurotransmitter's precursor (choline) can be associated with parallel changes in the transmission of signals across cholinergic synapses, probably because more of the transmitter is released per nerve impulse.
