Tolerance to diazepam and changes in GABA(A) receptor subunit expression in rat neocortical areas.

Abstract:

:Long-term treatment with diazepam, a full allosteric modulator of the GABA(A) receptor, results in tolerance to its anticonvulsant effects, whereas an equipotent treatment with the partial allosteric modulator imidazenil does not produce tolerance. Use of subunit-specific antibodies linked to gold particles allowed an immunocytochemical estimation of the expression density of the alpha1, alpha2, alpha3, alpha5, gamma(2L&S) and beta(2/3) subunits of the GABA(A) receptor in the frontoparietal motor and frontoparietal somatosensory cortices of rats that received long-term treatment with vehicle, diazepam (three times daily for 14 days, doses increasing from 17.6 to 70.4 micromol/kg), or imidazenil (three times daily for 14 days, doses increasing from 2.5 to 10.0 micromol/kg). In this study, tolerance to diazepam was associated with a selective decrease (37%) in the expression of the alpha1 subunit in layers III-IV of the frontoparietal motor cortex, and a concomitant increase in the expression of the alpha5 (150%), gamma(2L&S) and beta(2/3) subunits (48%); an increase in alpha5 subunits was measured in all cortical layers. In the frontoparietal somatosensory cortex, diazepam-tolerant rats had a 221% increase in the expression of alpha5 subunits in all cortical layers, as well as a 35% increase in the expression of alpha3 subunits restricted to layers V-VI. Western blot analysis substantiated that these diazepam-induced changes reflected the expression of full subunit molecules. Rats that received equipotent treatment with imidazenil did not become tolerant to its anticonvulsant properties, and did not show significant changes in the expression of any of the GABA(A) receptor subunits studied, with the exception of a small decrease in alpha2 subunits in cortical layers V-VI of the frontoparietal somatosensory cortex. The results of this study suggest that tolerance to benzodiazepines may be associated with select changes in subunit abundance, leading to the expression of different GABA(A) receptor subtypes in specific brain areas. These changes might be mediated by a unique homeostatic mechanism regulating the expression of GABA(A) receptor subtypes that maintain specific functional features of GABAergic function in cortical cell layers.
