Abstract

The modulation of striatal dopamine release by presynaptic nicotinic acetylcholine receptors is well documented for both synaptosomes and slices. Because the latter retain local anatomical integrity, we have compared [3H]dopamine release evoked by the nicotinic receptor agonists (-)-nicotine and (+/-)-anatoxin-a from striatal synaptosome and slice preparations in parallel. At higher agonist concentrations, mecamylamine-sensitive [3H]dopamine release was greater from slices, indicative of an additional component, and this increase was abolished by glutamate receptor antagonists. To begin to examine the localisation of specific nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subtypes in the striatum, immunogold electron microscopy was undertaken with the beta2-specific monoclonal antibody 270. In striatal sections, gold particles were associated with symmetric synapses (dopaminergic) but were absent from asymmetric synapses (glutamatergic). Surface labelling of striatal synaptosomes with gold particles was also demonstrated. Taken together, these results are consistent with dopamine release mediated by beta2-containing nicotinic acetylcholine receptors on dopamine terminals, while non-beta2-containing nicotinic acetylcholine receptors may enhance dopamine release indirectly by releasing glutamate from neighbouring terminals.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
