This study describes the inhibition of 57Co2+ influx through Ca2+-permeable alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptors, consequent to the application of L-2-amino-4-phosphonobutanoic acid (L-AP4), D-AP4 and L-serine-O-phosphate (L-SOP) in cultured cerebellar granule cells. The forskolin-stimulated accumulation of cyclic AMP was inhibited by (2S,1'S,2'S)-2-(carboxycyclopropyl)glycine (L-CCG-1) with an IC50 = 491 +/- 135 nM and by L-AP4 in a biphasic manner (IC50(1) = 232 +/- 61 nM and IC50(2) = >300 microM), confirming the presence of group II and group III mGlu receptors, respectively. 57Co2+ influx was stimulated by kainate (EC50 = 42.2 +/- 11.3 microM) and, in the presence of 30 microM cyclothiazide, by (S)-5-fluorowillardiine (EC50 = 0.7 +/- 0.1 microM) and (S)-AMPA (EC50 = 2.8 +/- 0.5 microM). The effects of the latter were abolished by 10 microM 6-nitro-7-sulphamoylbenzo[f]quinoxaline-2,3-dione (NBQX). L-AP4 (IC50 = >300 microM), D-AP4 (IC50 = >100 microM) and L-SOP (IC50 = 199 +/- 6 microM) inhibited 6 microM (S)-AMPA-stimulated 57Co2+ influx, whereas L-CCG-1 (up to 10 microM), 300 microM (RS)-3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine, 300 microM (+/-)-baclofen and 1 mM carbachol were ineffective. Pre-incubation with either pertussis toxin (250 ng/ml, 48 hr), 1 mM dibutyryl cyclic AMP, or the potent group III mGlu receptor antagonist (RS)-alpha-cyclopropyl-4-phosphonophenylglycine ((RS)-CPPG), tested at 400 microM, failed to alter the inhibition of AMPA receptor activity by 300 microM L-SOP. Unlike 10 microM NBQX, neither L-AP4, D-AP4 or L-SOP (tested at 1 mM) inhibited the binding of 10 nM (S)-[3H]5-fluorowillardiine (a selective AMPA receptor ligand) to granule cell membranes. Therefore, in these neurones, high concentrations (>100 microM) of L-AP4, L-SOP and D-AP4 inhibit Ca2+-permeable AMPA receptors by a mechanism distinct from known mGlu receptor action and at a site independent from that for AMPA receptor agonists.
