Abstract

The effect of excitatory amino acids (EAA) on phosphatidylinositol (PI) turnover in human cerebral cortical slices was investigated. Trans-1-aminocyclopentane-1,3-dicarboxylic acid (ACPD) increased inositol phosphate (IP) formation in the 1-1000 microM range. Quisqualic acid (QA) was maximally effective at 10-100 microM, showing an inverse correlation between concentration and effect in the 100-1000 microM range. The glutamate metabotropic receptor antagonist 2-amino-3-phosphonopropionic acid (AP3), the ionotropic non-NMDA receptor antagonist 6-cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione (CNQX) and the NMDA channel blocker dizolcipine (MK-801) failed to prevent the PI response to ACPD (1000 microM). However, CNQX (100 microM) modified the concentration-response curve of QA reducing the effect of QA 10 microM by approx. 50% and enhancing that of QA 1000 microM by 2-fold. In addition, CNQX (100 microM) together with MK-801 (100 microM) unmasked the ability of L-glutamate (L-GLU) 3000 microM to stimulate PI turnover. The effect of alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) on the EAA-induced PI turnover was also studied. AMPA (0.1-1 microM) potentiated the response to submaximal (30 microM) ACPD and (1 microM) QA conce...Continue Reading
