RESUMO

Neuromedin U (NMU) is a neuropeptide that was initially isolated from the porcine spinal cord and later from several species. Although NMU receptors exist in the CA1 region of the hippocampus, the role of NMU in hippocampal synaptic transmission remains unknown. In the present study, we demonstrated that the colocalization ratio of NMU type 1 (NMUR1) or type 2 (NMUR2) receptors was higher with neuronal nuclei (a neuronal marker) than with glial fibrillary acidic protein (an astrocyte marker) in the CA1 region of rats. Moreover, we revealed that the bath application of NMU (1 µM) enhanced extracellular field excitatory postsynaptic potentials at Schaffer collateral-CA1 synapses in rat hippocampal slices (+28.9 ± 1.3%; P < 0.05). After extracellular recordings, we examined the pattern of neuronal activation induced by NMU using c-Fos immunohistochemistry (Fos-IR). Histological analyses revealed that NMU increased Fos-IR in the CA1 region, but reduced the proportion of Fos-IR colocalized with glutamic acid decarboxylase (a GABA neuron marker). These results suggest that the activation of NMU receptors contributes to GABAergic neuronal activity in the CA1 region of the hippocampus.
