Abstract:
:Acute nicotine administration stimulated [3H]norepinephrine ([3H]NE) release from cultured fetal locus coeruleus (LC) cells. The effect was concentration dependent, with an EC50 of 0.9 microM, and was abolished by removal of calcium from, or addition of tetrodotoxin (500 nM) to, the assay buffer. Other nicotinic receptor agonists stimulated [3H]NE release, with the rank order of potency being (+)-epibatidine > (-)-nicotine > 1,1-dimethyl-4-phenylpiperazinium (DMPP). Whereas (-)-nicotine and (+/-)-epibatidine exhibited equal maximal responses, DMPP was a partial agonist and (-)-cytisine had no agonist activity. Nicotine-stimulated release of [3H]NE was blocked by nicotinic receptor antagonists, with an order of potency of mecamylamine > lobeline > cytisine > methyllycaconitine > dihydro-beta-erythroidine. The pharmacological profile of this nicotinic receptor is largely consistent with that described previously for an alpha4beta2 subunit combination, although discrepancies in the efficacies of agonists were observed. No additivity in NMDA- and nicotine-stimulated [3H]NE release was observed, suggesting a common signal transduction mechanism. However, the pharmacological characteristics of MK-801 blockade of nicotine-induced responses were not consistent with those of an NMDA receptor. We therefore conclude that nicotine directly releases [3H]NE from LC cells and does not act indirectly via activation of glutamate release.
