Abstract:
:Dopamine and somatostatin-14 (SRIF) were incubated with a membrane fraction of rat caudate-putamen (CP) tissue in an adenylate cyclase assay in order to examine the D-1-receptor coupled adenylate cyclase activity 5 days and 3 weeks after unilateral ablation of the left frontal and lateral cortex. Five days after decortication the ipsilateral basal and dopamine stimulated adenylate cyclase activity was increased by about 30% compared to that of the contralateral side. Three weeks after decortication no significant difference could be seen. On either side basal and dopamine stimulated adenylate cyclase activity was not significantly decreased compared to sham operated controls. Somatostatin (10(-7) mol/l) reduced basal adenylate cyclase activity of the ipsilateral CP five days following lesioning and reduced the maximal stimulation induced by dopamine. The effects of somatostatin were most marked in the absence and at low concentrations of dopamine (10(-7)-10(-6) mol/l). The effects of somatostatin in the lesioned CP were no longer apparent three weeks following surgery. These results do not favour a presynaptic localization of D-1-receptors on cortico-striate projection fibers and suggest that somatostatin is involved in the interaction of the cortico-striate and nigro-striatal projection systems and may play a role in the regulation of D-1-receptor linked adenylate cyclase.
