Microtubule depolymerization inhibits ethanol-induced enhancement of GABAA responses in stably transfected cells.

Abstract:

:We studied whether microtubule organization is important for actions of ethanol on GABAA ergic responses by testing the effects of microtubule depolymerization on ethanol enhancement of GABA action in mouse L(tk-) cells stably transfected with GABAA receptor alpha 1 beta 1 gamma 2L subunits. The microtubule-disrupting agents colchicine, taxol, and vinblastine completely blocked ethanol-induced enhancement of muscimol-stimulated chloride uptake. beta-Lumicolchicine, a colchicine analogue that does not disrupt microtubules, had no effect on ethanol action. Colchicin did not alter the potentiating actions of flunitrazeparn or pentobarbital on muscimol-stimulated chloride uptakes. Thus, colchicine specifically inhibited the potentiating action of ethanol. From these findings, we conclude that intact microtubules are required for ethanol-induced enhancement of GABAA responses and suggest that a mechanism involving microtubules produces posttranslational modifications that are necessary for ethanol sensitivity in this cell system.
