Neurotransmitter Receptors in Adult Tottering (tg/tg) Mice

View through CrossRef
Summary: :Neurotransmitter receptor binding was analyzed in adult tottering (tg/tg) and control wild‐type mice. Saturation studies were performed to analyze the density of muscarinic cholinergic receptors in whole brain, cortical, and hippocampal homogenates of 8–9‐week‐old animals. Scatchard plot analysis was also performed to determine the density and affinity of a‐adrenergic and β‐adrenergic receptors. No significant difference in Bmax or Kd values was identified between adult tottering and control mice in any of the tissue preparations. The amount of radioligand binding to 5‐hydroxytryptamine, 1A (5‐HT1A), non‐5‐HT1A, 5‐HT2, dopamine D2, and benzodiazepine receptors was also identical in tottering and control mice. These findings suggest that the epilepsy expressed by adult tottering mice does not result from alterations in the density or affinity of the neurotransmitter receptors studiedRESUMENSe ha analizado la captación en receptores de neurotransmisores en ratones “temblorosos” (tg‐tg) y en ratones control en libertad. Para analizar la densidad de los receptores muscarnicos colinérgicos en el cerebro total, en la corteza y en prepara‐ciones homogeneizadas de hipocampo en animates de 8 a 9 semanas de edad, se practicaron estudios de saturación. También se realizaron análisis “scarehard plot” para determinar la densidad y afinidad de los receptores aifa‐adrenérgicos y beta‐adrenérgicos. No se encontraron diferencias significativas en los valores Bmax, y Kd entre los ratones “temblorosos” y los controles en ningún tipo de tejido. La cantidad de acoptamiento del radio‐ligando a los receptores 5‐hidroxitriptamina1A (5‐HT1A), a los de non‐5‐HT1A, a los 5 HT1A, a los D2 de dopamina y a los benzodiacepina, file también idéntica en amobs tipos de ratones. Estos hallazgos sugieren que la epilepsía expresada por el ratón “tembloroso” no se debe a una alteración de la densidad o afinidad de los receptores estudiados.ZUSAMMENFASSUNGBei erwachsenen “tottering” (tg/tg)‐Mäusen sowie Kontrolltieren (Wildstämme)wurden Neurotransmitter‐Rezeptor‐Bindungsstudien durchgeführt. In Sättigungsstudien wurde die Dichte der Muskarin cholinergen Rezeptoren des gesamten Gehirns, sowie in kortikalen und hippokampalen Homogenaten von 8–9 Wochen alten Tieren bestimmt. Urn die Dichte und Affinität von alpha‐adernergen und beta‐adrenergen Rezeptoren zu bestimmen, wurde eine “scatchard” Plot‐Analyse durchgeführt. Zwischen den erwachsenen Tottering‐ und Kontrollmäusen be‐stand keine signifikante Differenz in Bmax, und KD Werten in alien Präparationen. Zusätzlich wurde die Höhe der Radioli‐ganden‐Bindung zu 5‐Hydroxytryptamin (5‐HT1A), zu non‐5‐HT1A, zu 5‐HT2, Dopamin D2 und Benzodiazipin‐Rezeptoren bei beiden Mäusepopulationen bestimmt. Die Befunde legen nahe, daβ die bei den erwachsenen “tottering” Mäusen auftretende Epilepsie nicht auf einer Änderung in der Dichte oder Affinität zu den untersuchten Neurotransmitter‐Rezeptoren besteht.
