Influence of intraventricular inj ection of 5,7-drhydroxytryptamine in 5-HT1A receptor sensitivity of pyramidal neurons in medial prefrontal cortex / 吉林大学学报(医学版)

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the influence of intraventricular injection of 5, 7-drhydroxytryptamine (5, 7-DHT)in 5-HT1A receptor sensitivity of medial prefrontal cortex pyramidal neurons in the rats,and to clarity the effect of 5-HT1A receptor on the eletronic response of pyramidal neurons.Methods 36 male SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group (n=21)and 5,7-DHT lesion group (n=15).5,7-DHT was injected intraventricularly in the rats in 5,7-DHT lesion group,and the same dose saline was injected in the rats in sham operation group.The rats in two groups were intravenously injected with different doses(0.5-128.0μg·kg-1 )of 8-CH-DPAT.The firing rate of mPFC pyramidal neurons was recorded with extracellular electrophysioological examination.The rats in two groups were intravenously injected with WAY100635,the sensitivites of the rats to 8-OH-DPAT and WAY100635 in 5, 7-DHT lesion group were observed, and compared with sham operation group.Results The different doses (0.5-128.0μg·L-1 )of 8-OH-DDAT had an excitatory-inhibitory effect on the firing rate of mPFC pyamidal neurons in sham operation group;the neurons were excited when the doses of 8-OH-DPAT were 0.5-38.0μg·kg-1 ,and the firing rates were increased(P<0.05);the neurons were inhibited when the dose of 8-OH-DPAT was 128.0μg·kg-1 ,and the firing rate was decreased.The different doses(0.5-218.0μg·L-1 )of 8-OH-DPAT inhibited the elecctronic response of pyramidal neurons of the rats in 5,7-DHT lesion group in a dose-dependent manner (df=5,F=3.44,P=0.003),and the firing rates were reduced. WAY-100635 (50μg·kg-1 )reversed completely the inhibition of 8-OH-DPAT.Conclusion The sensitivity of 5-HT1A receptor of rat mPFC pyramidal neurons can be decreased by intraventricular injection of 5,7-DHT.
