The 13-amino acid peptide neurotensin (NT) was discovered over 30 years ago and has been implicated in a wide variety of neurotransmitter and endocrine functions. This review focuses on four areas where there has been substantial recent progress in understanding NT signaling and several functions of the endogenous peptide. The first area concerns the functional activation of the high-affinity NT receptor, NTR-1, including the delineation of the NT binding pocket and receptor domains involved in functional coupling to intracellular signaling pathways. The development of NT receptor antagonists and the application of genetic and molecular genetic approaches have accelerated progress in understanding NT function in several areas, including the involvement of NT in antipsychotic drug actions, psychostimulant sensitization and the modulation of pain, and these are reviewed in that order. There is now substantial evidence indicating that NT is required for certain antipsychotic drug actions and that the peptide plays a key role in stress-induced analgesia.Received 18 March 2005; received after revision 9 May 2005; accepted 23 May 2005 相似文献

Summary Scrutiny of the data from these studies reveals that the C58/J alcohol-preferring mice have significantly lower baseline methionine-enkephalin levels in both the corpus striatum and hypothalamus compared to C3H/CHRGL/2 non-alcohol-preferring mice. In other brain regions in these two strains, specifically, pituitary, amygdala, midbrain, and hippocampus, analysis of methionine-enkephalin levels did not show any significant differences. This suggests that the hypothalamus may indeed be a specific locus involved in the regulation of alcohol intake, via the molecular interaction between neuroamines, opioid peptides, as they are influenced by genetics and environment. 相似文献

Summary Both thermal and nociceptive stimulation in the periphery were shown to influence the neuronal activity recorded in the striatal area. Both the thermal and nociceptive sensitivity of the striatal neurons were closely related.The authors are grateful to the Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung (Bad Godesberg, Bonn, Federal Republic of Germany) for donations of the necessary equipment for the present study.

A new subdivision, named marginal division (MrD)> consisting of spindle-shaped neurons, has been identified at the
caudomedial margin of the neostriatum in the brains of the rat, cat, monkey and human. It is distinguishable from the rest of striatum by special neural connections and many intensely expressed neuropeptides and some monoamines in the fibers, terminals and neuronal somata. Three-dimensional reconstruction of the rat brain reveals that the MrD is a flat pan-shaped area between the neostriatum and globus pal-lidus. Chemical lesions of bilateral MrD in rats will result in severely impaired learning and memory functions, as was demonstrated by double blind Y-maze test. The function of MrD has been shown to be associated with learning and memory by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRl) technique in human brain in vivo . Functional neuronal connections are observed between the MrD and hippocampus, amygdala, as well as the basal nucleus of Meynert by chemically induced c-Fos immunohistochemical staining. MrD is a newly discovered part and a universal structure in the neostriatum of the mammalian brain. MrD might very possibly play an important role in processes of the learning and memory. 相似文献

The present paper studied the effect and mechanism of neurosteroid pregnenolone sulfate (PREGS) on spontaneous glutamate release using electrophysiological and biochemical methods combined with a pharmacological approach. The results suggested that PREGS had a selective enhancing effect on spontaneous glutamate release in the prelimbic cortex and the hippocampus but not in the striatum. The effect of PREGS in the prelimbic cortex appeared to be via modulation of 1-adrenergic and 1 receptors, but in the hippocampus it might be dependent on 1 receptors only. The activation of 1-adrenergic receptors synergized 1 receptor activation in the prelimbic cortex. Intracellular calcium released from the endoplasmic reticulum, protein kinase C, adenylyl cyclase and protein kinase A played a key role in the effect of PREGS. Intracellular calcium, protein kinase C and adenylyl cyclase might be upstream events in the activation of protein kinase A after PREGS.Received 7 January 2005; received after revision 19 February 2005; accepted 22 February 2005 Available online 29 March 2005 相似文献

Summary Tabernanthine increased the synthesis and elimination of catecholamines (CA) in the striatum and the rest of the brain, but not in the hypothalamus. These data provide evidence that tabernanthine may activate CA turnover of some brain structures by acting at 2 steps of the metabolic pathway. The results are discussed in relation to a central stimulating action and a hypoxia antagonistic effect of this drug.Acknowledgments.

用高效液相色谱(HPLC)配紫外检测器,分离测定大鼠脑组织中腺苷含量。经实验确定以甲醇(10%~62%)、磷酸缓冲液(90%~38%)为流动相梯度洗脱,样品液中腺苷含量在2mg/L~10mg/L范围内线性关系良好。加入标准样品的平均回收率为(966±20)%。对6mg/L样品10次重复测定结果的标准偏差为014,变异系数为31%。对大鼠脑组织样品测定结果发现:与3~6月龄成龄鼠比较,18~20月龄老龄大鼠大脑皮层、海马、纹状体中腺苷含量分别增加了667%、372%和273%,不同脑区腺苷含量也有明显差异。结果提示不同脑区腺苷含量的随龄增加可作为研究衰老的一项指标;而中枢神经系统中随龄增长腺苷的堆积使Ach释放受到抑制可能是出现记忆衰退等常见老年性功能障碍的一个重要原因 相似文献

Establishment of animal models of schizophrenia is critical for both understanding the mechanisms underlying this severe mental disease and developing new antipsychotics. This paper starts from the theoretical root of sensory gating, the 損rotection-of-processing? theory, then thoroughly describes the representative studies over the past decade on the mechanism underlying prepulse inhibition and on those underlying modulation of prepulse inhibition, which is the normal startle suppression caused by the weak stimulus preceding the intense startling stimulus. The main methods for inducing prepulse inhibition deficits in experimental animals include: ⅰ) modulations of neuro- transmission that are closely associated with schizophrenia; ⅱ) focal lesions or pharmacological manipulations of brain structures in the cortico-striato-pallido-pontine circuit; and ⅲ) maternal deprivation or social isolation. Six essential topics for studies in modeling schizophrenia are suggested at the last part of this review. 相似文献
