摘要
In a previous study, we demonstrated that iptakalim (Ipt) significantly ameliorated hypolocomotion and catalepsy induced by haloperidol and rotenone in rats. In order to further understand the mechanism(s), using a rat model of Parkinson's disease (PD) established by unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) administration to the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) and reverse microdialysis techniques with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), we investigated the effects of Ipt on extracellular levels of glutamate, dopamine (DA) and its metabolite dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) in the striatum of conscious and freely moving rats. The results indicated that unilateral OHDA-lesioned rats have a significantly higher level of extracellular glutamate and a lower level of extracellular DOPAC in the lesioned-side of the striatum, and a lower level of extracellular DA in both sides of the striatum compared to the striatum of control rats. Ipt reduced extracellular glutamate levels in both sides of striatum of the lesioned and control rats in a concentration-dependent manner. Ipt, at lower concentrations (0.01, 0.1, 1 mu M), enhanced extracellular DA levels in the lesioned-side striatum of the unilateral 6-OHDA-lesioned rats, while causing no significant changes in the intact side striatum, and even a significant decline in striaturn of control rats at higher concentrations of Ipt (10, 100 mu M). In addition, Ipt also caused a significant decline in the extracellular DOPAC levels in the lesioned-side striaturn of unilateral 6-OHDA-lesioned rats. These data suggest that the major mechanism underlying the ameliorative effects of Ipt on the behavior in 6-OHDA-lesioned rats is the alteration of levels of extracellular neurotransmitters, such as glutamate and DA in the striaturn of unilateral 6-OHDA-lesioned rats.
