5-羟色胺-7受体激动剂对大鼠内侧前额叶皮层锥体神经元电活动的影响

摘要

Objective:To investigate the activity of medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) pyramidal neurons in rats and their response to 5-hydroxytryptamine-7 (5-HT7) receptor stimulation.Methods:The change of the spontaneous firing of pyramidal neurons in mPFC was observed by extracellular recording in viva.Results:In this study,we reported that systemic and local administration of 5-HT7 receptor agonist AS19 produced excitation,inhibition and no change in the firing rate of pyramidal neurons in mPFC of rats.The mean response of the pyramidal neurons to AS19 (0.08 μg/100 nl) by systemic and local administration in mPFC was excitatory.The inhibitory effect by systemic administration of AS 19 was reversed by γ-aminobntyricacid A receptor antagonist picrotoxinin (2 mg/kg).Systemic administration of picrotoxinin excited all the neurons examined in rats.After treatment with picrotoxinin,the local administration of AS19 increased the firing rate of the neurons.Conclusion:These results indicate that the activity of mPFC pyramidal neurons is regulated through activation of 5-HT7 receptor by direct or indirect action.%目的:探讨5-羟色胺-7 (5-hydroxytryptamine-7,5-HT7)受体对内侧前额叶皮层(medial prefrontal cortex,mPFC)中锥体神经元电活动的影响.方法:以大鼠为研究对象,采用在体细胞外生物电记录的方法,观察mPFC锥体神经元电活动的变化.结果:静脉给予累积剂量的(40～640 μg/kg)5-HT7受体激动剂AS19后,对大鼠mPFC中锥体神经元的电活动产生兴奋、抑制和不变3种不同的影响.无论是体循环,还是mPFC局部微量注射AS19(0.08 μg/100 nl),锥体神经元的总体反应都是兴奋的,而体循环给予AS19所引起的抑制效应能够被γ-氨基丁酸A型受体拮抗剂picrotoxinin(2 mg/kg)反转.静脉给予picrotoxinin能兴奋所有记录到的锥体神经元；静脉注射picrotoxinin后,再局部给予AS19能够进一步增加所记录到的神经元的放电频率.结论:mPFC锥体神经元的活动直接或间接地受到5-HT7受体的调控.
