    Abstract:
    The interaction of locally perfused cholecystokinin-8 (sulphated) with systemically administered apomorphine was studied on the release of dopamine and its metabolites using microdialysis in the neostriatum of the halothane-anaesthetized male rat. Dialysate levels of dopamine, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid and homovanillic acid were assayed by high performance liquid chromatography in combination with electrochemical detection. Perfusion with cholecystokinin-8 (100 microM but not 1 microM or 10 nM) increased the dialysate levels of dopamine without affecting those of DOPAC or HVA. At low concentrations (1 microM and 10 nM but not 1 nM), cholecystokinin-8 counteracted the inhibitory effect of apomorphine (0.05 mg/kg, s.c.) on dopamine release. This counteraction was antagonized by perfusion with the cholecystokinin-8 antagonist proglumide (3 microM). At this concentration, proglumide perfused alone was without effect on basal or apomorphine-reduced levels of dopamine. The results indicate a facilitatory effect of cholecystokinin-8 on dopamine release in rat neostriatum only at high concentrations. At lower concentrations, cholecystokinin-8 appears to modulate dopamine release by an inhibitory effect on dopamine autoreceptors possibly involving an intramembrane interaction between presynaptic cholecystokinin-8 receptors and dopamine autoreceptors.
