Nicotinic agonist-stimulated efflux of 86Rb+
from mouse brain synaptosomes was monitored continuously by on-line
radioactivity detection. The concentration-effect curve following a 5-s
stimulation with acetylcholine was biphasic (EC50 = 7.2 and
550 µM).
-Bungarotoxin (100 nM) did not inhibit the response, but
dihydro-
-erythroidine (DH
E) blocked both phases with differing
potency (average IC50 = .22 and 8.9 µM for responses
activated by low and high acetylcholine concentrations, respectively).
Differential sensitivity DH
E inhibition was used to measure
stimulation of 86Rb+ efflux by 17 nicotinic
agonists, which differed markedly in potency and efficacy. All agonists
were more potent at the DH
E-sensitive site. Both components were
inhibited by the six antagonists tested. Methyllycaconitine and DH
E
were more potent for the DH
E-sensitive component, whereas
hexamethonium was more potent at the DH
E-resistant component. Both
DH
E-sensitive and DH
E-resistant responses were reduced more than
95% in
2-null mutant mice, establishing the requirement for the
2 subunit for both components. Both components were widely, but not
identically, distributed throughout the brain. The DH
E-sensitive
component appears to be identical with agonist-stimulated 86Rb+ efflux described previously and is likely
to be mediated by
4
2 receptors. The DH
E-resistant component is
a novel, active, and widely distributed response mediated by nicotinic
receptor(s) that also require the
2 subunit.
