Dopamine alters glutamate receptor desensitization in retinal horizontal cells of the perch (Perca fluviatilis).

چکیده
The patch-clamp technique in combination with a fast liquid filament application system was used to study the effect of dopamine on the glutamate receptor desensitization in horizontal cells of the perch (Perca fluviatilis). Kinetics of ligand-gated ion channels in fish horizontal cells are modulated by dopamine. This modulation is presumably mediated by a cAMP-dependent protein phosphorylation. Before incubation with dopamine, the glutamate receptors of horizontal cells activate and desensitize with fast time constants. In the whole-cell recording mode, fast application of the agonists L-glutamate, quisqualate, or alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid prior to the dopamine incubation gives rise to fast transient currents with peak values of about 200 pA that desensitize within 100 ms. Kainate as agonist produced higher steady-state currents but no transient currents. After incubation of the cells with dopamine for 3 min, the desensitization was significantly reduced and the agonists L-glutamate, quisqualate, or alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid induced steady-state currents with amplitudes that were similar to the previously observed transient currents. Kainate-induced currents were only slightly affected. Fast desensitizing currents upon fast application of L-glutamate were also recorded from outside-out patches that were excised from horizontal cells before incubation with dopamine. The currents from excised patches desensitized to a steady-state level of about 0.2 of the peak amplitude with time constants of less than 2 ms. When the outside-out patches were excised from cells after dopamine incubation, steady-state currents were enhanced and no transient currents were observed. The results may indicate that the dopamine-dependent modulation of glutamate-induced currents, which is presumably mediated by a protein phosphorylation, is due to an alteration of the desensitization of the glutamate receptors.

The whole-cell patch-clamp technique was employed to record membrane currents from cultured horizontal cells of the perch (Perca fluviatilis). The cells were voltage clamped and slowly superfused with an extracellular solution containing L-glutamate. The glutamate concentration in the bath was continuously measured with the help of photodiode and a dye which accumulated in the bath together wit...

Domestication has altered a variety of traits within the Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis), including phenotypic, physiological and behavioral traits of Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis). Little is known, however, about the genetic changes between domesticated and wild Eurasian perch. In this study, we assembled a high-quality de novo reference transcriptome and identified differentially expr...

Metazoan Parasites of Perch Perca fluviatilis L. From Lake Sığırcı, Ipsala, Turkey
There has been no previous parasitological survey of perch Perca fluviatilis in Turkey. Consequently, the objectives of the present study were to investigate the metazoan parasite communities of perch and also to calculate infection parameters of the parasites in a eutrophic lake. A total of 52 perch were collected seasonally from Lake Sığırcı in Ipsala, Turkey, between April 2009 and February ...
