An increasing body of evidence suggests that native kainate receptors form ion channels from homomeric and heteromeric combinations of five receptor subunits: GluR5, GluR6, GluR7, KA1 and KA2. We have examined the activity of agonists and antagonists at recombinant human kainate receptors expressed in HEK293 cells, using both whole-cell electrophysiological recording and 96-well plate fluo-3 based calcium microfluorimetry (FLIPR). Both homomeric (GluR5 and GluR6) and heteromeric (GluR5/6, GluR5/KA2 and GluR6/KA2) receptors were examined. Heteromeric receptor assemblies showed electrophysiological and pharmacological profiles which were distinct from homomeric channels. Several agonists, including AMPA, ATPA and (S)-5-iodowillardiine, and antagonists, including gamma-D-glutamylaminomethylsulphonic acid (GAMS) and the decahydroisoquinoline compounds LY293558, LY377770 and LY382884, were found to act at GluR5-containing channels while having no effect at GluR6 homomers. AMPA, ATPA and (S)-5-iodowillardiine did activate GluR6/KA2 heteromers, but only as partial agonists. Additionally, ATPA was shown to act as an antagonist at homomeric GluR6 receptors at high concentrations (IC50 approximately 2 mM). Kynurenic acid was also found to differentiate between GluR6 and GluR6/KA2 receptors, antagonizing glutamate at GluR6 (IC50 = 0.4 mM), while having no effect at GluR6/KA2 channels. The results of the current study provide a broad pharmacological characterization of both homomeric and heteromeric recombinant human kainate receptors, and identify which compounds are likely to be useful tools for studying these various receptor subtypes.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008564 Membrane Potentials The voltage differences across a membrane. For cellular membranes they are computed by subtracting the voltage measured outside the membrane from the voltage measured inside the membrane. They result from differences of inside versus outside concentration of potassium, sodium, chloride, and other ions across cells' or ORGANELLES membranes. For excitable cells, the resting membrane potentials range between -30 and -100 millivolts. Physical, chemical, or electrical stimuli can make a membrane potential more negative (hyperpolarization), or less negative (depolarization).

D017470 Receptors, Glutamate Cell-surface proteins that bind glutamate and trigger changes which influence the behavior of cells. Glutamate receptors include ionotropic receptors (AMPA, kainate, and N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors), which directly control ion channels, and metabotropic receptors which act through second messenger systems. Glutamate receptors are the most common mediators of fast excitatory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. They have also been implicated in the mechanisms of memory and of many diseases.
