Sedation and Anesthesia Mediated by Distinct GABA A Receptor Isoforms
Open accessAbstract
The specific mechanisms underlying general anesthesia are primarily unknown. The intravenous general anesthetic etomidate acts by potentiating GABA A receptors, with selectivity for β2 and β3 subunit-containing receptors determined by a single asparagine residue. We generated a genetically modified mouse containing an etomidate-insensitive β2 subunit (β2 N265S) to determine the role of β2 and β3 subunits in etomidate-induced anesthesia. Loss of pedal withdrawal reflex and burst suppression in the electroencephalogram were still observed in the mutant mouse, indicating that loss of consciousness can be mediated purely through β3-containing receptors. The sedation produced by subanesthetic doses of etomidate and during recovery from anesthesia was present only in wild-type mice, indicating that the β2 subunit mediates the sedative properties of anesthetics. These findings show that anesthesia and sedation are mediated by distinct GABA A receptor subtypes.

GABAA receptors contribute to sedation, hypnosis, hypothermia, and immobility, based on knock-in mice with point mutations that abolish anesthetic binding sites and reduce behavioral effects.
“Convincing evidence for a contribution of GABAA receptors to important anesthetic actions such as sedation, hypnosis, hypothermia, and immobility have come from experiments on knock-in mice, in which point mutations that abolish anesthetic binding sites also curtail the behavioral effects of several anesthetics [38, 39].”

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.
