Intracerebral microdialysis was used to examine the function of the terminal 5-hydroxytryptamine(1B) (5-HT(1B)) autoreceptor in the region of the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of freely moving conscious rats at six time points or zeitgeber times (ZTs) across the light:dark cycle. Infusion of the 5-HT(1A/1B) agonist 5-methoxy-3-(1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-4-pyridyl)-1H-indole (RU24969) (1 microM) via the microdialysis probe produced a decrease in 5-HT output when applied at ZTs 3, 6, 15 and 21 (69.8+/-11.9, 59+/-11.7, 43.9+/-17.2 and 45.7+/-17.0% respectively). At ZTs 9 and 18 RU24969 (1 microm) failed to affect the 5-HT output significantly (28.0+/-11 and 32.8+/-24.6% decrease respectively). The profile of inhibition of 5-HT output following infusion of RU24969 (1 microM) at ZT 6 was unaffected by concurrent infusion of the specific 5-HT(1A) antagonist N-[2-[4-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1-piperazinyl]ethyl]-N-(2-pyridinyl)cyclohe xanecarboxamide trihydrochloride (WAY100635) (1 microM) (52.48+/-17.5% decrease). The data demonstrate a circadian rhythm in the activity of the 5-HT(1B) autoreceptor in the region of the SCN.
采用脑内微透析技术,在自由活动的清醒大鼠的视交叉上核(SCN)区域,于光暗周期的六个时间点或授时因子时间(ZT),检测5-羟色胺(1B)(5-HT(1B))终末自身受体的功能。通过微透析探针注入5-HT(1A/1B)激动剂5-甲氧基-3-(1,2,3,6-四氢-4-吡啶基)-1H-吲哚(RU24969)(1微摩尔),在ZT3、6、15和21时应用时,5-HT输出量减少(分别为69.8±11.9%、59±11.7%、43.9±17.2%和45.7±17.0%)。在ZT9和18时,RU24969(1微摩尔)未能显著影响5-HT输出量(分别减少28.0±11%和32.8±24.6%)。在ZT6时注入RU24969(1微摩尔)后对5-HT输出量的抑制情况,不受同时注入特异性5-HT(1A)拮抗剂N-[2-[4-(2-甲氧基苯基)-1-哌嗪基]乙基]-N-(2-吡啶基)环己烷甲酰胺三盐酸盐(WAY100635)(1微摩尔)的影响(减少52.48±17.5%)。数据表明,SCN区域5-HT(1B)自身受体的活性存在昼夜节律。
