摘要
WE have previously shown that N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) increases nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity in rat frontal cortex; however, the actual mechanism of this activation has not been addressed. Tetrodotoxin (TTX; 0.05 mu M) inhibited NMDA-activated NOS, suggesting that TTX-sensitive Na+ channels are interposed between the NMDA receptors and the NOS cellular compartment, The NMDA response was also blocked by voltage-dependent Ca2+ channel (VDCC) blockers including Cd2+, Co2+, funnel web spider toxin (FIX) and omega-Aga IVa, but not by nifedipine or omega-conotoxin. These data suggest that Ca2+ flux through P- and/or Q-type VDCC subsequent to NMDA-induced depolarization may be at least as important for NOS activation as Ca2+ entry through the NMDA receptor.
