1. Some possible molecular mechanisms of action of the anxiolytic, anticonvulsant and neuroprotective agent MK-801 have been examined in 'whole-cell' voltage clamp recordings performed on rat hippocampal and cortical neurones, bovine adrenomedullary chromaffin cells and N1E-115 neuroblastoma cells maintained in cell culture. 2. Transmembrane currents recorded from rat hippocampal and cortical neurones in response to locally applied N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) were antagonized by MK-801 (0.1-3.0 microM). Blockade was use-dependent, and little influenced by transmembrane potential. MK-801 (3 microM) had no effect on currents evoked by kainate (100 microM). 3. The antagonism of NMDA-induced currents by MK-801 was only slowly and incompletely reversed when the cell membrane potential was clamped at -60 mV during washout. Prolonged applications of NMDA at +40, but not -60 mV during washout, markedly accelerated recovery from block. 4. In contrast to MK-801, ketamine (10 microM) blocked NMDA-induced currents in a voltage-dependent manner. Blockade increased with membrane hyperpolarization and was completely reversible upon washout. 5. MK-801 (1-10 microM) produced a voltage- and concentration-dependent block of membrane currents elicited by ionophoretically applied acetylcholine (ACh) recorded from bovine chromaffin cells. The block was readily reversible upon washout. 6. gamma-Aminobutyric acidA (GABAA) receptor-mediated chloride currents of chromaffin cells were unaffected by MK-801 (1-100 microM). In contrast, such currents were potentiated by diazepam (1 microM). MK-801 (100 microM) had no effect on currents evoked by GABA on hippocampal neurones. 7. MK-801 (10 microM) had little effect on membrane currents recorded from N1E-115 neuroblastoma cells in response to ionophoretically applied 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT). Such currents were antagonized by the 5-HT3 receptor antagonist GR 38032F (1 nM) and also by MK-801 at high concentration (100 microM). 8. Voltage-activated, tetrodotoxin-sensitive, sodium currents of chromaffin cells were unaffected by 10 microM MK-801. However, at a relatively high concentration (100 microM), MK-801 reduced the amplitude of such currents to approximately 77% of control. 9. The relevance of the present results to the central actions of MK-801 is discussed.

[3H]ICS 205-930 labelled 5-HT3 recognition sites in membranes prepared from murine neuroblastoma N1E-115 cells. Binding was rapid, reversible, saturable and stereoselective to an apparently homogeneous population of sites. Kinetic studies revealed that agonists and antagonists produced a monophasic dissociation reaction of [3H]ICS 205-930 from its recognition sites. The dissociation rate constant of the radioligand was similar whether the dissociation was induced by an agonist or an antagonist. Competition studies carried out with agonists and antagonists also suggested the presence of a homogeneous population of [3H]ICS 205-930 recognition sites. Competition curves were best fit for a 1 site model. [3H]ICS 205-930 binding sites displayed the pharmacological profile of a 5-HT3 receptor. The interactions of agonists and antagonists with [3H]ICS 205-930 recognition sites were apparently competitive in nature, as demonstrated in kinetic and equilibrium experiments. In saturation experiments carried out with [3H]ICS 205-930 in the presence and the absence of unlabelled agonists and antagonists, apparent Bmax values were not reduced whereas apparent Kd values were increased in the presence of competing ligands. There was a good agreement between apparent pKB values calculated for the competing ligands in saturation experiments and pKd values calculated from competition experiments. The present data demonstrate that [3H]ICS 205-930 labels a homogeneous population of sites at which agonists and antagonists interact competitively.

[3H]ICS 205-930 recognition sites were analyzed in membranes prepared from murine neuroblastoma N1E-115 cells. [3H]ICS 205-930 bound rapidly, reversibly, and stereoselectively to a homogeneous population of high affinity recognition sites: Bmax = 40 +/- 5 fmol/mg of protein, pKD = 9.20 +/- 0.05 (n = 11). Nonlinear regression and Scatchard analysis of saturation data suggested the existence of a single class of [3H]ICS 205-930 recognition sites on N1E-115 cells. The affinity of [3H]ICS 205-930 determined in kinetic studies was in agreement with that obtained under equilibrium conditions. Competition studies carried out with a large variety of agonists and antagonists also suggested the presence of a homogeneous population of [3H]ICS 205-930 recognition sites. [3H]ICS 205-930-binding sites displayed the pharmacological profile of a 5-HT3 receptor. Potent 5-HT3 receptor antagonists showed nM affinities for [3H]ICS 205-930-binding sites with the following rank order of potency: SDZ 206-830 greater than SDZ 206-792 greater than ICS 205-930 greater than BRL 43694 greater than quipazine greater than BRL 24924 greater than MDL 72222 greater than GR 38032F. Methiothepine, mCPP, and metoclopramide showed sub-microM affinity. The rank order of potency of agonists was: 5-HT greater than phenylbiguanide = 2-methyl-5-HT much greater than 5-methoxytryptamine = 5-carboxamidotryptamine. All antagonist competition curves were steep (pseudo-Hill coefficients not lower than 1), monophasic, and best fit for a one-site model; 5-HT and 2-methyl-5-HT produced pseudo-Hill coefficients of 1.2-1.4. Drugs acting at 5-HT1, 5-HT2, alpha- and beta-adrenergic, dopaminergic, and histaminergic receptors (methysergide, ketanserin, propranolol, phentolamine, sulpiride, SCH 23390, cimetidine) were essentially inactive at 10 mumol/liter. The binding of [3H]ICS 205-930 was not affected by guanine and adenine nucleotides (GTP, GppNHp, and ATP) at 1 mmol/liter. These nucleotides did not affect the binding of agonists, suggesting that 5-HT3 recognition sites are not coupled to G-proteins. The interactions of agonists and antagonists with [3H]ICS 205-930 recognition sites were competitive in nature, as demonstrated by saturation experiments carried out with [3H]ICS 205-930 in the presence and the absence of unlabeled compounds: apparent Bmax values were not reduced, whereas apparent KD values were increased in the presence of competing ligands.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

The aim of this study was to investigate the pharmacological characteristics of the 5-hydroxytryptamine-(5-HT)-induced electrical response in cultured neuroblastoma N1E-115 cells of the mouse. In these cells 5-HT induces a transient membrane depolarization, which is associated with a transient inward current, that has been recorded in voltage clamp experiments on whole cells. The peak amplitude of the inward current depends on the concentration of 5-HT applied. Maximum peak inward current was evoked by 10 microM 5-HT and half maximum effect by 2 microM. Responses to 5-HT were blocked by nanomolar concentrations of selective 5-HT3-receptor antagonists, whereas the selective agonist 2-methyl-5-HT mimicked the membrane depolarization induced by 5-HT. A number of agonists and antagonists, which are known to act on 5-HT1-like, 5-HT2, dopaminergic and adrenergic receptors failed to affect the response to 5-HT in neuroblastoma cells. Observed antagonistic effects of SCH 23390 [(R)-(+)-8-chloro-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-3-methyl-5-phenyl-1H-3-benzazepi n-7-ol hemimaleate] and haloperidol are discussed. The inhibitory effect of the 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, ICS 205-930 [(3 alpha-tropanyl)-1H-indole-3-carboxylic acid ester] has been demonstrated. When cells were exposed to 0.1 nM ICS 205-930 the maximum evoked response was reduced by about 50%, but a surmountable shift of the concentration-response curve of 5-HT was not observed. The kinetics of the 5-HT-induced inward current remained unchanged in the presence of ICS 205-930. Recovery from the block by ICS 205-930 was very slow.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

1. The binding characteristics of [3H]ICS 205-930, a potent and selective 5-hydroxytryptamine 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, were investigated in membranes prepared from murine neuroblastoma-glioma NG 108-15 cells. 2. [3H]ICS 205-930 bound rapidly, reversibly and stereoselectively to a homogeneous population of high affinity recognition sites: Bmax = 58 +/- 3 fmol/mg protein, pKD = 9.01 +/- 0.08 (n = 11). Non linear regression and Scatchard analysis of saturation data suggested the existence of a single class of [3H]ICS 205-930 recognition sites on NG 108-15 cells. The binding was rapid, stable and reversible. The affinity of [3H]ICS 205-930 determined in kinetic studies was in agreement with that obtained under equilibrium conditions. 3. Competition studies performed with a variety of agonists and antagonists also suggested the presence of a homogeneous population of [3H]ICS 205-930 recognition sites. All competition curves were steep and monophasic and were best fit by a 1 receptor site model. [3H]ICS 205-930 binding sites displayed the pharmacological profile of a 5-HT3 receptor.

Metoclopramide, mCP and mianserin showed submicromolar affinity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Serotonin (5HT) and dopamine (DA) induce, in neuroblastoma N1E-115 cells, a transient membrane depolarization associated with an inward current. The half-maximum response is obtained with 2 microM 5HT or 200 microM DA. The maximum response to 5HT is 2-3 times that to DA. The selective 5HT3 receptor antagonists ICS 205-930 and MDL 72222 at nanomolar concentrations block both the 5HT- and the DA-induced response. High concentrations (10 microM) of 5HT2 receptor antagonists are without effect. It is concluded that, in N1E-115 cells, 5HT and DA activate a single population of 5HT3 receptors.

N1E-115 mouse neuroblastoma cells were used to study the influence of ethanol on the 5-HT- and veratridine-induced influx of 14C-guanidinium via the 5-HT3 receptor channel and the fast sodium channel, respectively. Ethanol (10-100 mM) concentration-dependently increased the 5-HT-induced 14C-guanidinium influx, leaving the basal and veratridine (100 microM)-induced influx unaffected. The increasing effect of ethanol (100 mM) was observed at all 5-HT concentrations investigated; accordingly, ethanol increased the maximum response to 5-HT. Whereas in the absence of ethanol the concentration-response curve for 5-HT was bell-shaped, this was no longer the case when ethanol (100 mM) was present in the incubation buffer; the descending branch of the concentration-response curve for 5-HT at concentrations above 300 microM was virtually no longer observed. When, in the presence of substance P (10 microM) the 5-HT-induced 14C-guanidinium influx was already enhanced, the ability of ethanol (100 mM) to increase the 5-HT-induced influx was considerably diminished (by 72%). Preincubation of N1E-115 cells with 5-HT caused a decay of the subsequent 5-HT response ("desensitization") which was dependent on the duration of preincubation; ethanol (100 mM) did not affect the rate of this decay of the 5-HT response. The 5-HT (30 microM)-induced 14C-guanidinium influx was also increased by methanol (100 mM) and n-propanol (100 mM). The rank order of the increasing effect of the n-alkanols (at 100 mM) was: methanol < ethanol < n-propanol; i.e. the degree of enhancement increased with the lipophilicity of the alcohols.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Mouse neuroblastoma cells of the clone N1E-115 express a variety of ion channels and receptors, including a number that is also involved in neurotransmission. Effects of Pb2+ on several of these ion channels have been investigated under experimental conditions that allow electrophysiological recording of membrane current carried by distinct types of ion channels. In whole-cell voltage clamp experiments voltage-dependent calcium channels are blocked by Pb2+ at micromolar concentrations, while voltage-dependent sodium channels are not affected by Pb2+. The neuronal type nicotinic acetylcholine (ACh) receptor-ion channel complex is sensitive to low concentrations of Pb2+. At 1 nM-3 microM, Pb2+ reduces the peak amplitude of the ACh-induced inward current to 74%-10% of the control value in a concentration-dependent manner. However, at Pb2+ concentration between 10 and 100 microM this blocking effect is reduced and kinetics of decay of the ACh-induced inward current are slowed. The effects of Pb2+ on the nicotinic receptor-mediated inward current amplitude can be described by the sum of two sigmoidal concentration-effect curves with an IC50 value of 19 nM and an EC50 of 21 microM. The serotonin 5-HT3 receptor-ion channel complex is less sensitive to Pb2+. The serotonin-induced inward current is blocked by Pb2+ with an IC50 value of 49 microM. In single channel patch clamp experiments internal Pb2+ causes activation of calcium-activated potassium channels in N1E-115 cells. The two types of calcium-activated potassium channels show differential sensitivity: the low conductance (SK) channel is more sensitive to Pb2+ than the high conductance (BK) channel. At micromolar concentrations Pb2+ also induces an ion current mediated by metal ion-activated ion channels. Opening of these channels, which have a single channel conductance of 24 pS and a reversal potential of 0 mV, depends on Pb2+ concentration. These effects of Pb2+ support the hypothesis that Pb2+ affects synaptic transmission by blocking presynaptic voltage-dependent calcium channels. On the other hand, effects on other sensitive target sites, the neuronal nicotinic ACh receptor in particular, clearly indicate that other targets may be involved in the toxic effects of Pb2+ on the nervous system.

Whole cell and outside-out patch clamp recordings were obtained from primary cultures of rat and mouse hippocampal neurons. Serotonin (5-HT) evoked short-latency fast inward currents in about 5% of neurons. These currents reversed near 0 mV, showed inward rectification, and were inhibited by the 5-HT3 receptor antagonists ICS 205-930, ondansetron and tubocurare. 5-HT activated single channel currents in 14 of 24 membrane patches obtained from neurons which showed 5-HT3-activated whole cell currents; mean amplitude of channel openings was 0.95 +/- 0.09 pA at -100 mV. Chord conductances measured at -80 and -160 mV were 8.3 and 10.5 pS, respectively. 5-HT-induced unitary currents were blocked reversibly by tubocurare (1 microM), ICS 205-930 (30 nM) and ondansetron (100 nM). Thus, single-channel properties of 5-HT3 receptors in hippocampal neurons are similar to those present in peripheral neurons and do not exhibit solely the sub-picosiemen conductance characteristic of the neuroblastoma and neuroblastoma-derived cloned 5-HT3 receptor.

NG108-15 neuroblastoma x glioma cells are widely used for the study of neurotransmitter receptors. We utilized reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction to amplify members of the seven transmembrane domain class of G-protein linked receptors using RNA isolated from NG108-15 cells. Two complementary DNAs representing receptors were obtained; based upon comparison with the sequence database, they probably represent the murine dopamine D1A receptor and a receptor closely related to the serotonin 5HT1D receptor subtype. The finding of the 5HT receptor subtype is of interest, as only the 5HT3 subtype was previously identified in NG108-15 cells by pharmacological means. Certain responses of NG108-15 cells to serotonin have been described that do not appear to be mediated by known 5HT receptor subtypes. The cDNA we cloned may therefore represent an additional 5HT1D subclass.
