  • Title: 125I-LSD autoradiography confirms the preferential localization of caudate-putamen S2 receptors to the caudal (peripallidal) region.
    Author: Altar CA, Boyar WC, Marien MR.
    Journal: Brain Res; 1986 Apr 30; 372(1):130-6. PubMed ID: 2423187.
    Abstract:
    The in vitro binding of 125I-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) to horizontal sections of rat brain was quantified with computer-assisted autoradiography. Specific binding of 125I-LSD to D2 and S2 sites, defined with 5 microM (+)-butaclamol, was 65-94% of the total binding. Identification of S2 sites with 50 nM ketanserin showed that over 90% of the butaclamol-displaced 125I-LSD binding in the frontal, cingulate and parietal neocortex was to S2 sites (22-55 fmol/mg protein). 125I-LSD also labeled a dense population of S2 sites (16 fmol/mg protein) in the caudal caudate-putamen at the level of the globus pallidus which exceeded by 5-fold the concentration of S2 sites (3 fmol/mg protein) in more rostral portions of the caudate-putamen. The peripallidal distribution of S2 sites was identical to that observed previously with the less selective S2 label, [3H]spiperone. The dense concentration of S2 sites in the caudal caudate-putamen and their overlap with D2 binding sites indicates that the peripallidal neostriatum may play an important role in interactions between dopamine and serotonin.
