Cellular and behavioral effects of 5-HT1A receptor agonist 8-OH-DPAT in a rat model of levodopa-induced motor complications

5-HT1A autoreceptor stimulation can act to attenuate supraphysiological swings in extracellular dopamine levels following long-term levodopa treatment and may be useful in the treatment and prevention of the motor complications. The purpose of this study was to investigate cellular and behavioral effects of 5-HT1A receptor agonist 8-OH-DPAT in a rat model of levodopa-induced motor complications. Two sets of experiments were performed. First, animals were treated with levodopa (50 mg/kg with benserazide 12.5 mg/kg, twice daily), intraperitoneally (i.p.) for 22 days. On day 23, animals received either 8-OH-DPAT (1 mg/kg, i.p.) or 8-OH-DPAT plus WAY-100635 (0.1 mg/kg, i.p) or vehicle with each levodopa dose. In the second set, animals were treated either with levodopa (50 mg/kg, i.p.) plus 8-OH-DPAT (1 mg/kg, i.p.) or levodopa (50 mg/kg, i.p.) plus vehicle, administered twice daily for 22 consecutive days. Our study showed that 8-OH-DPAT plus levodopa both prolonged the duration of the motor response and reduced peak turning. 8-OH-DPAT plus levodopa also decreased the frequency of failures to levodopa. Co-administration of WAY-100635, a 5-HT1A receptor antagonist, with 8-OH-DPAT eliminated the effect of 8-OH-DPAT on motor complications indicating that the observed 8-OH-DPAT responses were probably mediated at the 5-HT1A autoreceptor. Moreover, 8-OH-DPAT plus levodopa significantly reduced hyperphosphorylation of GluR1 at serine 845, which was closely associated with levodopa-induced motor complications.     

Hippocampal asymmetry in the behavioral responses to the 5-HT1A receptor agonist 8-OH-DPAT

The present study examined the behavioral responses of rats to unilateral and bilateral injections of the selective serotonin 1A (5-HT1A)-receptor agonist 8-hydroxydipropylaminotetralin hydrobromide (8-OH-DPAT) 1 μg into the hippocampal CA1 area of male Wistar rats. 8-OH-DPAT increased locomotor activity, which was most pronounced with injections into the left hippocampus. The agonist impaired learning and memory (shuttle-☐), especially when injected into the right hippocampus. The elevated plus-maze experiments showed that neither left nor right nor bilateral hippocampal injections of 8-OH-DPAT produced any anxiogenic effect. However, with Vogel's conflict test, right injections of 8-OH-DPAT produced anxiety. The present study has revealed hippocampal asymmetry in the behavioral responses to the 5-HT1A-receptor agonist 8-OH-DPAT.     

Serotonin 5-HT1A agonist improves motor complications in rodent and primate parkinsonian models.

BACKGROUND: Serotoninergic transmission in the basal ganglia is known to influence dopaminergic mechanisms and motor function. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the possibility that serotoninergic 5-HT1A autoreceptors (by regulating the release of serotonin as well as dopamine formed from exogenous levodopa) affect the response alterations complicating levodopa treatment of PD. METHODS: The 5-HT1A receptor agonist sarizotan (EMD128130) was systemically administered alone and together with levodopa to parkinsonian rats and nonhuman primates. RESULTS: In 6-hydroxydopamine-lesioned rats, sarizotan (2.5 mg/kg PO) had no effect on the acute rotational response to levodopa but did attenuate the shortening in motor response duration induced by chronic levodopa treatment. In 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-lesioned monkeys, sarizotan (2 mg/kg PO) alone had no effect on parkinsonian severity or on the antiparkinsonian response to levodopa. In contrast, the same dose of sarizotan reduced levodopa-induced choreiform dyskinesias by 91 +/- 5.9%. In both species, the motoric effects of sarizotan were blocked by the selective 5-HT1A antagonist WAY100635 (0.1 mg/kg SC), indicating that the observed sarizotan responses were probably mediated at the 5-HT1A autoreceptor. CONCLUSION: Pharmaceuticals acting to stimulate 5-HT1A receptors could prove useful in the treatment of the motor response complications in parkinsonian patients.     

Chronic administration of the 5-HT1A receptor agonist 8-OH-DPAT differentially desensitizes 5-HT1A autoreceptors of the dorsal and median raphe nuclei

The present study investigated alterations of the regulation of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) release by 5-HT_1A autoreceptors following single and repeated treatment with the 5-HT_1A receptor agonist 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)-tetralin (8-OH-DPAT). Rats were pretreated with 8-OH-DPAT (1.0 mg/kg, s.c.) for 1, 7, or 14 days. The ability of an acute challenge administration of 8-OH-DPAT (1.0 mg/kg, i.p.) to decrease 5-HT release in the ventral striatum and the ventral hippocampus of rats maintained under chloral hydrate anesthesia was examined 24 h after the last pretreatment injection using in vivo microdialysis. The decrease of 5-HT release in the striatum produced by the challenge dose of the 5-HT_1A receptor agonist was diminished following 7 and 14 days of pretreatment, but not after 1 day of pretreatment, with 8-OH-DPAT. In contrast, decreases of 5-HT release in the hippocampus by the 8-OH-DPAT challenge were not altered after 1 or 7 days of pretreatment, and only a trend for attenuation appeared after pretreatment for 14 days. The results of the present study indicate that desensitization of 5-HT_1A autoreceptors regulating 5-HT release in different brain regions by repeated treatment with 8-OH-DPAT occurs at different rates.

Post-lesion administration of 5-HT1A receptor agonist 8-OH-DPAT protects cholinergic nucleus basalis neurons against NMDA excitotoxicity

Recent evidence indicates that serotonin (5-HT)1A receptor agonists may abrogate excitotoxic brain damage. We investigated whether a single i.p. injection of the 5-HT1A receptor agonist 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino) tetralin (8-OH-DPAT), at a dose of 2.5 mg/kg, protects cholinergic neurons of the rat magnocellular nucleus basalis (MBN) against NMDA excitotoxicity when administered at post-injury intervals ranging from 6 to 96 h. Drug effects on passive avoidance learning and on the density of cortical cholinergic innervation, a measure of neuronal survival in the damaged MBN, were analyzed. Our results demonstrate that 8-OH-DPAT, when administered up to 24 h post-lesion, significantly attenuates both behavioral and neuroanatomical consequences of NMDA excitotoxicity on cholinergic MBN neurons; and support the hypothesis that 5-HT1A receptor agonists may interfere with delayed neuronal death in vivo that is of significance in the pharmacological treatment of neurological disorders associated with excitotoxic neuronal damage.     

Effects of the 5-HT1A agonist 8-OH-DPAT on food intake in food-deprived rats.

The effects of 8-OH-DPAT were investigated on food intake in food-deprived rats in both non-operant and operant feeding paradigms. 8-OH-DPAT produced dose-related reductions in food intake in both paradigms. While the higher doses of 8-OH-DPAT used in this study (i.e. 125-500 micrograms kg-1) produced a number of stereotyped behaviours which may have interfered with normal feeding, these behaviours were not apparent with the lower doses (i.e. 15.625-62.5 micrograms kg-1) which also depressed food-intake. The results of this study thus suggest that the inhibitory effect of 8-OH-DPAT on feeding in food-deprived rats is not secondary to the induction of stereotypy.     

A delayed and chronic treatment regimen with the 5-HT1A receptor agonist 8-OH-DPAT after cortical impact injury facilitates motor recovery and acquisition of spatial learning

An early (i.e., 15min) single systemic administration of the 5-HT(1A) receptor agonist 8-OH-DPAT enhances behavioral recovery after experimental traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, acute administration of pharmacotherapies after TBI may be clinically challenging and thus the present study sought to investigate the potential efficacy of a delayed and chronic 8-OH-DPAT treatment regimen. Forty-eight isoflurane-anesthetized adult male rats received either a controlled cortical impact or sham injury and beginning 24h later were administered 8-OH-DPAT (0.1 or 0.5mg/kg) or saline vehicle (1.0mL/kg) intraperitoneally once daily until all behavioral assessments were completed. Neurobehavior was assessed by motor and cognitive tests on post-operative days 1-5 and 14-19, respectively. The lower dose of 8-OH-DPAT (0.1mg/kg) enhanced motor performance, acquisition of spatial learning, and memory retention vs. both the higher dose (0.5mg/kg) and vehicle treatment (p<0.05). These data replicate previous findings from our laboratory showing that 8-OH-DPAT improves neurobehavior after TBI, and extend those results by demonstrating that the benefits can be achieved even when treatment is withheld for 24h. A delayed and chronic treatment regimen may be more clinically feasible.     

Modulation of sympathetic nerve activity by microinjection of the 5-HT1A receptor agonist 8-OH-DPAT into the rostroventrolateral medulla.

In the present study, renal sympathetic nerve activity was recorded simultaneously with sympathetic nerve activity to skeletal muscle vasculature to determine if the sympatho-inhibition evoked by microinjection of the 5-HT1A receptor agonist 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)teralin (8-OH-DPAT) into the rostroventrolateral medulla (RVLM) was uniform or regional. Three patterns of sympatho-inhibition were observed in these sympathetic outflows and the type of response depended upon location of microinjection within the subretrofacial nucleus (SRF). Inhibition of renal nerve activity only was elicited by microinjections at rostral sites at the caudal pole of the facial nucleus. In contrast, inhibition of muscle sympathetic nerve activity was evoked from more caudal injections at the rostral pole of the inferior olives. Microinjection in the area between these two regions produced inhibition of both sympathetic outflows. This study demonstrates that differential inhibition of regional sympathetic outflows can be elicited by microinjection of the 5-HT1A receptor agonist 8-OH-DPAT into the RVLM. These data suggests that this modulation is due to differences in anatomical arrangement of the medullary neurons rather than differences in neuron sensitivity to the serotonergic agonist.     

Progesterone attenuates the effect of the 5-HT1A receptor agonist, 8-OH-DPAT,and of mild restraint on lordosis behavior

Ovariectomized, hormone-primed rats were used to test the hypothesis that progesterone treatment attenuated the effects of the 5-HT(1A) receptor agonist, (+/-)-8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT), on female rat lordosis behavior. Based upon prior evidence that prepriming with estradiol benzoate (EB) reduced the ability of 8-OH-DPAT to inhibit lordosis behavior, rats were preprimed with 10 microg EB 7 days before a second priming with 10 microg EB followed 48 h later with 500 microg progesterone or vehicle. Independent of the presence of progesterone, prepriming with EB attenuated the lordosis-inhibiting effects of systemic treatment with 8-OH-DPAT. However, progesterone also reduced the effects of 8-OH-DPAT and this effect was also seen in females primed only once with EB. In contrast, progesterone was relatively ineffective in attenuating the effects of bilateral infusion with 8-OH-DPAT into the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus (VMN). The failure of progesterone to substantially reduce the effects of VMN infusion with 8-OH-DPAT contrasts with prior studies in which estrogen's protective action against the drug did include the VMN. Thus, while both estrogen and progesterone reduce the lordosis-inhibiting effect of 8-OH-DPAT, the mechanisms responsible for the effects of the two gonadal hormones may be different. Priming with progesterone also prevented the effects of 5 min of restraint. When rats were hormonally primed with EB and oil, rats showed a transient, but significant, decline in lordosis behavior 5 and 10 min after restraint. Rats primed with EB and progesterone were unaffected by the restraint. These results are discussed in terms of their implications for the role of progesterone in altering the 5-HT(1A) receptor modulation of lordosis behavior.
