Reduction by sevoflurane of adenosine 5'-triphosphate-activated inward current of locus coeruleus neurons in pontine slices of rats.

Abstract:

:Increasing evidence indicates that volatile general anesthetics exert their effects by affecting various types of membrane conductance expressed in the central nervous system (CNS), such as ligand-gated receptor-channels. The most recently identified family of the receptor-channels in the CNS are the extracellular ATP-gated channels (P2X purinoceptors). In the present study, we tested whether volatile anesthetics can affect P2X receptor function in the CNS network. We recorded whole-cell currents of locus coeruleus (LC) neurons in pontine slices from young rats. Adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) sodium (0.03-3 mM) evoked a rapidly rising and moderately desensitizing inward current (50-200 pA) in a dose-dependent manner in LC neurons at a holding potential of -80 mV. Perfusion with clinically relevant concentration of sevoflurane (0.1-0.5 mM) reduced the ATP-induced inward current in a dose-dependent manner (to 56.8+/-5.9% of control with 0.5 mM sevoflurane; mean+/-S.E.M., n=13). Estimated IC(50) of sevoflurane was 0.59 mM. We conclude that the attenuation of extracellular ATP-mediated signaling in the central nervous system might be one of the multiple actions of volatile anesthetics.
