Abstract：
:The alpha-2 adrenergic agonist dexmedetomidine (Dex), 3-300 microg/kg, i.p., decreased cerebellar cGMP in a dose-dependent manner. Fentanyl (F), an opioid agonist, increased cerebellar cGMP at 0.3 mg/kg, s.c., and decreased it at doses >/=1 mg/kg. The inhibitory effect was receptor specific, that of Dex being blocked by the alpha-2 adrenergic antagonist yohimbine, 5 mg/kg, i.p.; that of F by the opioid antagonist naloxone, 5 mg/kg, i.p. In contrast the stimulatory effect of F was blocked by both naloxone and yohimbine. Yohimbine also enhanced the inhibitory effect of F. In mice pretreated with pertussis toxin, 2 microgram/mouse, given i.c.v. 72 h before the agonists, the decrease in cGMP induced by Dex or F was not affected, while the stimulatory effect of F was reversed to an inhibitory effect. When inhibiting doses of F and Dex were administered together, the cGMP response was smaller than the sum of the individual responses. Dex attenuated in a dose-dependent manner the decrease in cGMP induced by F, and unmasked or enhanced the stimulatory effect of F. These results show that the alpha-2 adrenergic- and opioid-receptors are coupled to the cGMP effector system and suggest that the two pathways converge at a common post-receptor site in the cascade of events transducing the receptor signal to cGMP regulation.
