Sevoflurane has been the most widely used inhaled anesthetics with a favorable recovery profile; however, the precise mechanisms underlying its anesthetic action are still not completely understood. Here the authors show that sevoflurane activates a cluster of urocortin 1 (UCN1 )/cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART ) neurons in the midbrain involved in its anesthesia. Furthermore, growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR) is highly enriched in sevoflurane-activated UCN1 /CART cells and is necessary for sleep induction. Blockade of GHSR abolishes the excitatory effect of sevoflurane on UCN1 /CART neurons and attenuates its anesthetic effect. Collectively, their data suggest that anesthetic action of sevoflurane necessitates the GHSR activation in midbrain UCN1 /CART neurons, which provides a novel target including the nucleus and receptor in the field of anesthesia.
七氟醚是最广泛使用的吸入麻醉剂,具有良好的恢复特性;然而,其麻醉作用的确切机制仍不完全清楚。作者在这里表明,七氟醚激活了中脑中参与麻醉的一组促皮质素释放肽 1(UCN1)/可卡因和安非他命调节的转录物(CART)神经元。此外,生长激素促分泌素受体(GHSR)在七氟醚激活的 UCN1/CART 细胞中高度富集,是诱导睡眠所必需的。GHSR 阻断剂可消除七氟醚对 UCN1/CART 神经元的兴奋作用,并减弱其麻醉作用。总的来说,他们的数据表明,七氟醚的麻醉作用需要中脑 UCN1/CART 神经元中 GHSR 的激活,这为包括核和受体在内的麻醉领域提供了一个新的靶点。
