Effects of ghrelin on the electrical activities of substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons treated with MPP.

Abstract:

:Ghrelin, a 28 amino acid brain-gut peptide, has attracted increasing attention for its neuroprotective effect in Parkinson's disease (PD). In view of the pivotal role of excitability of dopaminergic neurons in substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) in the function of nigrostriatal system, it is of great significance to elucidate the regulation of electrical activity of dopaminergic neurons by ghrelin, especially in PD pathogenesis. In this study, we tackled this issue by probing the effects of ghrelin on the electrophysiological properties of dopaminergic neurons in acute application of Methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+), a potent parkinsonizing agent in primates and rodents, with whole cell patch clamp technique. We first observed that MPP+ (10, 20 and 50 μM) inhibited the spontaneous firing activity of dopaminergic neurons with dose-dependent and time-dependent properties. MPP+ also hyperpolarized the membrane potential, inhibited the evoked firing activity and reduced the amplitude of the inward rectification characteristic (Sag) in dopaminergic neurons. Importantly, ghrelin (100 nM) could improve the above effects of MPP+ on the electrical activities of dopaminergic neurons. The potential mechanism of this phenomenon may be that ghrelin upregulated hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channel current (Ih) to antagonize the inhibition of MPP+ on Ih, thereby improving the electrical activities of dopaminergic neurons.
