  • Title: Specific inhibition of dopamine D-1-mediated cyclic AMP formation by dopamine D-2, muscarinic cholinergic, and opiate receptor stimulation in rat striatal slices.
    Author: Kelly E, Nahorski SR.
    Journal: J Neurochem; 1986 Nov; 47(5):1512-6. PubMed ID: 2428936.
    Abstract:
    The ability of different receptors to mediate inhibition of cyclic AMP accumulation due to a variety of agonists was examined in rat striatal slices. In the presence of 1 mM 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, dopamine D-2, muscarinic cholinergic, and opiate receptor stimulation by RU 24926, carbachol, and morphine (all at 10(-8)-10(-5) M), respectively, inhibited the increase in cyclic AMP accumulation in slices of rat striatum due to dopamine D-1 receptor stimulation by 1 microM SKF 38393. In contrast, these inhibitory agents were unable to reduce the ability of a number of other agonists, including isoprenaline, prostaglandin E1, 2-chloroadenosine, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, and cholera toxin, to increase cyclic AMP levels in striatal slices. These results suggest that in rat striatum either dopamine D-2, muscarinic cholinergic, and opiate receptors are only functionally linked to dopamine D-1 receptors or that the D-1 and D-2 receptors linked to adenylate cyclase lie on the cells, distinct from other receptors capable of elevating striatal cyclic AMP levels.
