midazolam-induced learning and memory impairment is modulated by cannabinoid cb1 receptor agonist and antagonist
نویسندگان
چکیده
background: memory impairment is a well-known effect of many benzodiazepine compounds which is mediated through their action on gamma-aminobutyric acid type a (gabaa) receptors. on the other hand, cannabinoids can affect learning and memory process through presynaptic modulation of the release of both excitatory glutamate and inhibitory gaba transmitters in brain regions involved in learning and memory. the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of cannabinoids on memory impairment and long-term potentiation (ltp) reduction properties of the short acting benzodiazepine midazolam. materials and methods: one week after insertion of guide cannula by stereotaxic surgery, cannabinoid compounds or midazolam were administered by intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection into lateral ventricle of male rats. spatial memory task was evaluated using morris water maze (mwm) test. electrophysiological evaluation was done by field potential recording of hippocampal neurons in unconscious rats. results: in mwm test, while i.c.v. administration of am251 (200 and 500 ng) per se could not change learning and memory function in rats, pretreatment of rats with am251 (500 ng; i.c.v.) attenuated midazolam-induced memory impairment. in field potential recording, while i.c.v. administration of am251 (500 ng) and win55212-2 (10 μg) did not have any effect on population spike amplitude, pretreatment of rats with both am251 and win55212-2 significantly diminished midazolam-induced ps amplitude reduction in hippocampal neurons. conclusion: our our results suggest the involvement of cannabinoid cb1 receptors in both memory impairment and ltp reduction in hippocampal neurons which was produced by midazolam. this interaction is likely through their effect on both gabaergic and glutamatergic receptors in hippocampus.

Interaction between urethane and cannabinoid CB1 receptor agonist and antagonist in penicillin-induced epileptiform activity.
Previous experimental studies have shown that various anesthetics alter the effects of cannabinoid agonists and antagonists on the cardiac response to different stimuli. Since no data have shown an interaction between urethane and cannabinoid signaling in epilepsy, we examined the suitability of urethane with regard to testing the effects of a cannabinoid CB1 receptor agonist and an antagonist ...
متن کاملCB1 cannabinoid receptor activity is modulated by the cannabinoid receptor interacting protein CRIP 1a.
The CB1 cannabinoid receptor is a G-protein coupled receptor that has important physiological roles in synaptic plasticity, analgesia, appetite, and neuroprotection. We report the discovery of two structurally related CB1 cannabinoid receptor interacting proteins (CRIP1a and CRIP1b) that bind to the distal C-terminal tail of CB1. CRIP1a and CRIP1b are generated by alternative splicing of a gene...

متن کاملInteraction between Antagonist of Cannabinoid Receptor and Antagonist of Adrenergic Receptor on Anxiety in Male Rat
Introduction: Anxiety is among the most common and treatable mental disorders. Adrenergic and cannabinoid systems have an important role in the neurobiology of anxiety. The elevated plus-maze (EPM) has broadly been used to investigate anxiolytic and anxiogenic compounds. The present study investigated the effects of intraperitoneal (IP) injection of cannabinoid CB1 receptor antagonist (AM251) i...

Introduction: The effects of cannabinoids (CBs) on synaptic plasticity of hippocampal dentate gyrus neurons have been shown in numerous studies. However, the effect of repeated exposure to cannabinoids on hippocampal function is not fully understood. In this study, using field potential recording, we investigated the effect of repeated administration of the nonselective CB receptor agonist WIN5...

Introduction: There is currently a debate over the interaction between Ca2+ channels and cannabinoid system on learning and memory processing. In this study, we examined the effect of acute injection of cannabinoid agonist (Win- 55212-2) (Win) or antagonist (AM251), following chronic injection of verapamil, as a L-type Ca2+ channels blocker, on passive avoidance (PA) test in male Wistar rats...
