Indoleamine-sensitive adenylate cyclase in rabbit retina: characterization and distribution.

Abstract:

:Previous histological, electrophysiological, and biochemical reports have addressed the hypothesis that serotonin functions as a neurotransmitter in mammalian retinas. We have tested the effect on the levels of cyclic AMP of the application of exogenous serotonin, 5-methoxytryptamine, melatonin, and 5-methoxydimethyl-tryptamine to isolated, incubated rabbit retinas. All indoleamines tested significantly elevated intracellular levels of cyclic AMP in both light- and dark-adapted, incubated, intact retinas, provided a phosphodiesterase inhibitor was present. In homogenates of rabbit retina, all indoleamines tested also markedly increased adenylate cyclase activity over basal levels. Maximal activity was observed with 50 microM indoleamine; addition of GTP augmented this increase. The increase in enzyme activity persisted in the presence of known antagonists of dopamine and serotonin 5-HT2-receptors, but was blocked by the mixed 5-HT1, 5-HT2-antagonist lysergic acid diethylamide. The retinal locations of this response have also been identified using layer microdissection techniques on freeze-dried samples obtained from rabbit eyecups suprafused with indoleamine plus phosphodiesterase inhibitor. Cyclic AMP levels were measured in discrete retinal layers of both light- and dark-adapted suprafused eyecups, and increased levels were observed primarily in the inner and outer plexiform layers, which contain the synapses of the retinal neurons.
