The inhibition of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-gated chloride currents by the protein kinase C (PKC) activator 4beta-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) was investigated using recombinant human GABAA receptors expressed in Xenopus oocytes. PMA (5 nM) reduced the GABA response in oocytes expressing the alpha1 beta2 gamma2L receptor construct, as measured by the two-electrode voltage-clamp me...
GABA(B) receptors are broadly expressed in the nervous system and have been implicated in a wide variety of neurological and psychiatric disorders. The cloning of the first GABA(B) receptor cDNAs in 1997 revived interest in these receptors and their potential as therapeutic targets. With the availability of molecular tools, rapid progress was made in our understanding of the GABA(B) system. Thi...
There are coflicting reports regarding the role of GABA in morphine analgesia. While-sorne investigators have reported that treatment with GABAA receptor agonist muscimol and GABA transaminase inhibitors potentiates morphine analgesia (2.4.6) others have reported antagonism of morphine analgesia (8.10). In view of these conflicting reports and since the analgesic profile 'of THIP, a GABAA recep...
In the spinal cord dorsal horn, excitatory sensory fibers terminate adjacent to interneuron terminals. Here, we show that kainate (KA) receptor activation triggered action potential-independent release of GABA and glycine from dorsal horn interneurons. This release was transient, because KA receptors desensitized, and it required Na+ entry and Ca2+ channel activation. KA modulated evoked inhibi...
The GABA type A receptor (GABA(A)R) is the major inhibitory receptor in the mammalian central nervous system and the target of numerous pharmaceuticals. The alpha-subunit of these pentameric Cys-loop neurotransmitter-gated ion channels contributes to the binding of both GABA and allosteric modulators such as the benzodiazepines, suggesting a role for this subunit in the conformational changes a...
The molecular mechanisms controlling the termination of cortical interneuron migration are unknown. Here, we demonstrate that, prior to synaptogenesis, migrating interneurons change their responsiveness to ambient GABA from a motogenic to a stop signal. We found that, during migration into the cortex, ambient GABA and glutamate initially stimulate the motility of interneurons through both GABA(...
We studied the effects of GABA on anoxia-induced injury in CNS white matter using optic nerves exposed to 60 min of anoxia. Injury was assessed by recording pre- and postanoxic compound action potentials (CAPs). GABA (1 microM) significantly increased postanoxic CAP recovery when applied 60 min prior to anoxia. This effect was bicuculline (100 microM) insensitive, mimicked by baclofen (1 microM...
GABA is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain and mediates several processes, including learning and memory. Activating or inhibiting GABA receptors allows for the examination of the effects of altered GABAergic signaling on these processes. The two main receptors, GABA A and GABA B , each have a different mechanism of action when activated, thus they may contribute differentiall...
Ethanol increases miniature inhibitory postsynaptic current frequency and decreases the paired-pulse ratio, which suggests that ethanol increases both spontaneous and evoked release, respectively. We have shown previously that ethanol increases GABA release at the rat interneuron-Purkinje cell synapse and that this ethanol effect involves calcium release from internal stores; however, further e...
To determine whether presynaptic input is necessary for postsynaptic differentiation, we isolated hippocampal neurons in microisland culture and thus deprived pyramidal cells of GABA input and GABAergic neurons of glutamate input. We find that glutamate input is necessary for clustering the AMPA-type glutamate receptor but not for clustering the NMDA receptor or the associated PSD-95 family sca...
