Levels, Metabolism, and Pharmacological Activity of Anandamide in CB1 Cannabinoid Receptor Knockout Mice: Evidence for Non‐CB1, Non‐CB2 Receptor‐Mediated Actions of Anandamide in Mouse Brain
Abstract
Abstract: Anandamide [arachidonylethanolamide (AEA)] appears to be an endogenous agonist of brain cannabinoid receptors (CB 1), yet some of the neurobehavioral effects of this compound in mice are unaffected by a selective CB 1 antagonist. We studied the levels, pharmacological actions, and degradation of AEA in transgenic mice lacking the CB 1 gene. We quantified AEA and the other endocannabinoid, 2‐arachidonoyl glycerol, in six brain regions and the spinal cord by isotope‐dilution liquid chromatography‐mass spectrometry. The distribution of endocannabinoids and their inactivating enzyme, fatty acid amide hydrolase, were found to overlap with CB 1 distribution only in part. In CB 1 knockout homozygotes (CB 1‐/‐), the hippocampus and, to a lesser extent, the striatum exhibited lower AEA levels as compared with wild‐type (CB 1+/+) controls. These data suggest a ligand/receptor relationship between AEA and CB 1 in these two brain regions, where tonic activation of the receptor may tightly regulate the biosynthesis of its endogenous ligand. 2‐Arachidonoyl glycerol levels and fatty acid amide hydrolase activity were unchanged in CB 1‐/‐ with respect to CB 1+/+ mice in all regions. AEA and Δ 9‐tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) were tested in CB 1‐/‐ mice for their capability of inducing analgesia and catalepsy and decreasing spontaneous activity. The effects of AEA, unlike THC, were not decreased in CB 1‐/‐ mice. AEA, but not THC, stimulated GTPγS binding in brain membranes from CB 1‐/‐ mice, and this stimulation was insensitive to CB 1 and CB 2 antagonists. We suggest that non‐CB 1, non‐CB 2 G protein‐coupled receptors might mediate in mice some of the neuro‐behavioral actions of AEA.

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.
