چکیده مقاله:

Introduction: Since organophosphorus compounds (OP) are toxic and designed to destroy insects and pest species, there are many hazards associated with their use. Although, the main target site of these compounds is acetylcholinesterase (AChE), however it has become increasingly evident that OPs have also other direct effects on cellular processes. In the present study, the effects of low concentrations of paraoxon and its interaction with forskolin, an activator of protein kinase A (PKA), were studied on Ca2+ spike configuration and frequency in neurons of snail Caucasotachea atrolabiata. Methods: Subesophageal ganglia neurons were recorded in current clamp mode in Na+ free Ringer solution that contained voltage dependent potassium channel blockers, 4AP and TEA. Results: Paraoxon (0.3-0.6 μM) decreased the duration of spontaneous Ca2+ spikes. This effect was seen with a suppression of single spike AHPs, leading to an increment in firing rate. Paraoxon induced hyperactivity appeared to be a consequence of decrease in Ca2+ influx during spikes which is the main determinant of AHP duration by activating Ca2+ dependent potassium channels. Forskolin (25 μM), in the absence of a significant change in spike duration, decreased the duration of single spike AHPs and increased the frequency of spikes. After forskolin application, paraoxon decreased the duration of Ca2+ spikes and AHPs, and increased the activity. However, these effects, especially on spike duration, were not as pronounced as in the absence of forskolin. Conclusion: These findings suggest that although forskolin, similar to paraoxon, decreases the AHP and increases the frequency of spikes but it employs mechanism(s) different from paraoxon which also oppose the effects of paraoxon on Ca2+ spikes configuration and frequency.

Oleuropein Attenuates Deltamethrin-induced Apoptosis in Rat Cerebellar Purkinje Neurons

Background: Deltamethrin (DM) is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide that can elicit neurotoxicity, and lead to apoptosis. There is accumulating evidence that oleuropein (OE) has anti-apoptotic effect. This study aimed at determining the DM toxicity and anti-apoptotic effect of OE pretreatment in cerebellar Purkinje neurons. Materials and Methods: Rats were randomly divided into four groups a...

Resveratrol attenuates inflammation-induced hyperexcitability of trigeminal spinal nucleus caudalis neurons associated with hyperalgesia in rats

BACKGROUND Resveratrol, a component of red wine, has been reported to decrease prostaglandin E2 production by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase-2 cascade and to modulate various voltage-dependent ion channels, suggesting that resveratrol could attenuate inflammatory hyperalgesia. However, the effects of resveratrol on inflammation-induced hyperexcitability of nociceptive neurons in vivo remain to b...

Forskolin attenuates retinal inflammation in diabetic mice

The present study aimed to investigate the effect of forskolin on retinal inflammation under diabetic conditions. C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into normal control, diabetic control and forskolin treatment groups. The diabetic model was established by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin. The forskolin treatment group received intragastrical administration of forskolin for 12 weeks,...

Calcium entry induced by acetylcholine action on snail neurons.

A study was made of excitatory and inhibitory responses elicited by acetylcholine (ACh) in neurons of the snail Eobania vermiculata. At resting potential, ACh evoked a depolarizing inward current in some neurons (D-cells) and a hyperpolarizing current in others (H-cells). The currents elicited by ACh were nonlinearly dependent on membrane potential. After either D- or H-cells were equilibrated ...
