Abstract:
:Involvement of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase in the desensitization of GABAB receptor expressed in Xenopus oocytes was studied. GABA produced an outward current in the presence of bicuculline, under voltage-clamp conditions. Baclofen mimicked the effect of GABA, thereby indicating that the response to GABA in the presence of bicuculline is mediated by stimulation of GABAB receptor. The GABAB receptor-mediated response was suppressed by dibutyric cyclic AMP and forskolin, but not by 1,9-dideoxy-forskolin, and the effect of dibutyric cyclic AMP was inhibited by H-8. Application of GABA for 1 min at 20-min intervals induced a reliable response, while that at 10-min intervals produced a desensitization. The desensitization was also partially prevented by H-8. Dibutyric cyclic GMP, 8-bromo-cyclic GMP and Na-nitroprusside did not affect the GABAB receptor-mediated response. Thus, cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, but not cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase participates in desensitization of the GABAB receptor expressed in Xenopus oocytes.
