Alterations in tyrosine hydroxylase activity elicited by raphe nuclei lesions in the rat locus coeruleus: evidence for the involvement of serotonin afferents.

Abstract:

:The time course of the variations in tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) activity was measured in the rat locus coeruleus (LC) after lesions of the nucleus raphe dorsalis (NRD), nucleus raphe centralis superior (NRCS) and nucleus raphe pontis (NRP). A certain number of lesions were performed in the raphe magnus (RM), the caudal and rostral NRP and the caudal and rostral NRCS, lateral to raphe nuclei and in adrenalectomized animals. The serotonin (5-HT) content in the LC was also determined after these lesions. Only raphe nuclei producing significant decreases in the 5-HT content in the LC are successful in provoking increases in the TH activity in the LC, thus these results suggest that the noradrenaline (NA) synthesis in the LC may be regulated by 5-HT afferents. Moreover, intraventricular injections of 5,6-dihydroxytryptamine (5,6-DHT) and administration of parachlorophenylalanine (PCPA) also produce significant increases in TH in the LC. After immunotitrations of TH in the LC it was shown that, with exception of a high dose of 5,6-DHT (75 micrograms), all these treatments provoke an increase in the concentration of the enzyme. It therefore seems that one of the functional roles of 5-HT in the LC could be the regulation of the concentration of TH.
