Abstract:
:Activation of phospholipase C (PLC) coupled to phosphoinositide (PtdIns) hydrolysis occurs through one of the two pathways. One of the major pathways for the neurotransmitter signaling involves phosphoinositide (PtdIns) specific and G-protein dependent PLC-beta, which stimulates the formation of inositol triphosphate (IP3) and inositol tetraphosphate (IP4). Another pathway through the stimulation of calcium influx can directly activate all of the PLC isozymes. At least three isozymes of PLC have been characterized in the brain; PLC-A (alpha), PLC-I (beta) and PLC-II (gamma), which are shown to be localized differentially in brain regions. Muscarinic-cholinergic signals are mediated in large part through the hydrolysis of PtdIns by PLC. To investigate changes in muscarinic coupling to PLC during aging, we examined carbachol stimulated and calcium stimulated PtdIns hydrolysis in cerebral cortical membranes in young, middle aged and old rats. In order to determine whether PtdIns hydrolysis changes correspond to PLC isozyme expression in these animals, we examined three subtypes of PLC mRNA expression in brain sections of young and old rats using in situ hybridization technique. Our study indicated decreased carbachol-induced PLC activity in the cerebral cortex and, in contrast, increased PLC-beta mRNA in the frontal cortex and superficial cortical layer of aged rats. PLC-alpha mRNA was decreased in hippocampal regions of older rats. These studies suggest that during aging there is an uncoupling of muscarinic stimulated PtdIns hydrolysis, which is accompanied by an increased PLC-beta mRNA and decreased PLC-alpha mRNA that may represent compensatory changes in PLC expression.
