Abstract:
:Horizontal cells of the carp retina possess dopamine receptors linked to adenylate cyclase. Isolated, intact horizontal cells respond to micromolar concentrations of dopamine, whereas nanomolar concentrations of haloperidol, (+)-butaclamol, and flupenthixol block the dopamine response. Preincubation in Ringer's solution containing increased levels of Ca2+ (5-110 mM) decreases the sensitivity of the cells to these antagonists by 1,000-10,000 times. Dopamine sensitivity of the cells is not affected by Ca2+ levels in the preincubation medium. Preincubation of the cells in Ringer's solution containing 500 microM L-glutamate, an agent that increases intracellular Ca2+ levels in intact horizontal cells, also decreases the sensitivity of the cells to haloperidol. These data suggest that antagonist sensitivity of intact horizontal cells may be regulated by intracellular Ca2+.
