Opiate Agonists Inhibit Ca2+ Influx in Rat Spinal Cord-Dorsal Root Ganglion Cocultures
The aim of the present study has been to characterize the regulation by opiates of “Ca2+ influx in rat spinal cord-dorsal root ganglion cocultures. We have demonstrated that K*-induced depolarization, in the presence of the Ca” channel agonist Bay K8644, stimulated Ca” influx (3-4-fold) via the dihydropyridine class of voltage-dependent Ca” channels. While p and 6 opiates had no effect, K opiat...
متن کاملNa(+)-Ca2+ exchange in rat dorsal root ganglion neurons.
The role of the Na(+)-Ca2+ exchanger was examined in isolated rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons. Neurons were dialyzed with the Ca2+ indicator Indo-1. Ca2+ transients were elicited by depolarizing the cells from -80 to 0 mV for 100 ms under voltage clamp conditions. In most cells (45 of 67), the decay of intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) could be fitted with a single exponential w...
متن کاملCB1 receptor localization in rat spinal cord and roots, dorsal root ganglion, and peripheral nerve.
AIM The localization of CB1 receptors in the spinal cord, spinal roots, dorsal root ganglion (DRG), and peripheral nerve of the rat was determined. METHODS We studied the distribution of CB1 cannabinoid receptors by immunohistochemistry using an antibody raised against the N-terminal of the receptor. RESULTS The spinal cord showed numerous transverse fibers labelled for CB1 receptors throug...
متن کاملLactoseries carbohydrates specify subsets of dorsal root ganglion neurons projecting to the superficial dorsal horn of rat spinal cord.
Cell surface carbohydrates are thought to play important roles in the development and differentiation of mammalian cells. In previous studies we have found that one population of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons is specified by the expression of complex globoseries oligosaccharides (Dodd, J., D. Solter, and T. M. Jessell (1984) Nature 311: 469-472; Jessell, T. M., and J. Dodd (1985) Philos. T...
متن کاملRapid inhibitory effects of corticosterone on calcium influx in rat dorsal root ganglion neurons.
Corticosterone may nongenomically affect cell functions in addition to its well-characterized effects on gene expression. The purpose of this study is to examine if corticosterone has a rapid nongenomic effect on excitability of dorsal root ganglion neurons by using patch-clamp and single-cell Ca(2+) microfluometry techniques. The results show that corticosterone has a dose-dependent rapid inhi...
