Characterization of benzodiazepine receptor changes in substantia nigra, globus pallidus and entopeduncular nucleus after striatal lesions. 1984

H S Pan, and J B Penney, and A B Young

This study explored the character and time course of benzodiazepine (BDZ) receptor changes in substantia nigra pars reticulata, globus pallidus and entopeduncular nucleus after striatal kainate lesions in the rat. Receptor levels at the lesion site and striatal projection areas were measured at 1 week, 1 month and 2 to 3 months after the lesion. One week after the lesion, no receptor changes in substantia nigra pars reticulata, globus pallidus, or entopeduncular nucleus were detected. There were small but insignificant increases in BDZ binding in striatal projection sites 1 month after the lesion. At the 2- to 3-month time point, BDZ binding increased in substantia nigra pars reticulata (44%, P less than .01), globus pallidus (43%, P less than .02) and entopeduncular nucleus (54%, P less than .05). At all time points, the binding affinities of BDZ receptors were unchanged in the denervated and corresponding intact structures. Likewise, BDZ binding was enhanced to a similar extent by gamma-aminobutyric acid on both sides of the brain. CL 218,872, a triazolopyridazine and ethyl beta-carboline-3-carboxylate were used to delineate BDZ receptor subtypes involved in the receptor increase. Deafferented areas were less sensitive to triazolopyridazine and ethyl beta-carboline-3-carboxylate when compared to the corresponding intact areas. This suggests that a proliferation of the triazolopyridazine-insensitive BDZ receptor subtype (BDZ2 receptors) has taken place.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007608 Kainic Acid (2S-(2 alpha,3 beta,4 beta))-2-Carboxy-4-(1-methylethenyl)-3-pyrrolidineacetic acid. Ascaricide obtained from the red alga Digenea simplex. It is a potent excitatory amino acid agonist at some types of excitatory amino acid receptors and has been used to discriminate among receptor types. Like many excitatory amino acid agonists it can cause neurotoxicity and has been used experimentally for that purpose. Digenic Acid,Kainate,Acid, Digenic,Acid, Kainic

D011956 Receptors, Cell Surface Cell surface proteins that bind signalling molecules external to the cell with high affinity and convert this extracellular event into one or more intracellular signals that alter the behavior of the target cell (From Alberts, Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2nd ed, pp693-5). Cell surface receptors, unlike enzymes, do not chemically alter their ligands.

D011963 Receptors, GABA-A Cell surface proteins which bind GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID and contain an integral membrane chloride channel. Each receptor is assembled as a pentamer from a pool of at least 19 different possible subunits. The receptors belong to a superfamily that share a common CYSTEINE loop.
