摘要

该文采用玻璃微电极细胞外记录法,观察正常大鼠和6--羟多巴胺(6--hydroxydopamine, 6--OHDA)损毁黑质致密部大鼠杏仁基底外侧核(basolateral nucleus of the amygdala, BL)神经元电活动的变化,以及体循环给予选择性5--HT_(1A)受体拮抗剂WAY--100635对神经元电活动的影响。结果显示,正常大鼠BL投射神经元和中间神经元的放电频率分别是(0.39±0.04) Hz和(0.83±0.16) Hz, 6--OHDA损毁大鼠BL投射神经元和中间神经元的放电频率分别是(0.32±0.04) Hz 和 (0.53±0.12) Hz,与正常大鼠相比无显著差异。在正常大鼠,所有投射神经元呈现爆发式放电;94%中间神经元为爆发式放电,6%为不规则。在6--OHDA损毁大鼠,85%投射神经元呈现爆发式放电,15%为不规则;86%中间神经元为爆发式放电,14%为不规则,与正常大鼠相比无显著差别。静脉给予0.1 mg/kg体重的WAY--100635不改变正常大鼠和6--OHDA损毁大鼠BL投射神经元和中间神经元的放电频率。然而,0.5 mg/kg体重的WAY--100635显著降低正常大鼠BL投射神经元的平均放电频率({sl P}<0.01),明显增加6--OHDA损毁大鼠BL投射神经元的平均放电频率({sl P}<0.004)。高剂量WAY--100635不影响正常大鼠和6--OHDA损毁大鼠BL中间神经元的平均放电频率。结果表明,黑质多巴胺能损毁后,内在和外在的传入调节基底外侧核神经元的活动,在正常大鼠和6--OHDA损毁大鼠5--HT_(1A)受体调节投射神经元的活动,并且在6--OHDA损毁大鼠WAY--100635诱发投射神经元平均放电频率的增加。结果提示,5--HT_(1A)受体在帕金森病情感性症状的产生中起重要作用。

Abstract

In the present study, extracellular recording was used to examine the neuronal activity of the basolateral nucleus (BL) of theamygdala and the effects of systemic administration of the selective 5-HT_(1A) receptor antagonist WAY-100635 on the neuronal activityin the normal rats and rats with 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-produced lesions in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc), Theresults showed that the firing rates of BL projection neurons and intemeurons were (0.39±0.04) Hz and (0.83±0.16) Hz in the normalrats, and (0.32±0.04) Hz and (0.53±0.12) Hz in 6-OHDA-lesioned rats. There was no significant difference in the firing rates of BL projection neurons and interneurons between the normal and 6-OHDA-lesioned rats. In the normal rats, all BL projection neurons firedin burst; 94% of BL interneurons fired in burst and 6% fired irregularly. In 6-OHDA-lesioned rats, 85% of BL projection neurons displayed a burst fLdng pattern and 15% fired irregularly; 86% of BL intemeurons had a burst firing pattern and 14% fired irregularly.The distribution of firing patterns of projection neurons and interneurons in the BL in 6-OHDA-lesioned rats did not differ from thatin the normal rats. Systemic administration of WAY-100635 at 0.1 mg/kg body weight did not change the mean firing rates of projectionneurons and interneurons in the BL in both normal and 6-OHDA-lesioned rats, However, a higher dose of WAY-100635 at 0.5 mg/kgbody weight significantly decreased the mean firing rate of BL projection neurons from (0.43±0.07) to (0.15±0.02) Hz in the normalrats (P<0.01), but significantly increased the activity of BL projection neurons in 6-OHDA-lesioned rats from (0.37±0.08) to (0.69±0.18) Hz (P<0.004). The mean firing rates of BL interneurons in the normal and 6-OHDA-lesioned rats did not change after adminis-tration of a higher dose of WAY-100635 at 0.5 mg/kg body weight. These results demonstrate that the activity of BL neurons aftersubstantia nigra dopaminergic lesion in the SNc is regulated by activation of intrinsic and extrinsic inputs, and that 5-HT_(1A) receptorssignificantly contribute to the regulation of the activity of BL projection neurons in both normal and 6-OHDA-lesioned rats. Furthermore,WAY-100635 induced an increase in the mean firing rate of projection neurons in the BL in 6-OHDA-lesioned rats, suggesting that 5-HT_(1A) receptor is likely to play a role in generating affective symptoms in Parkinson's disease.
