The potential blockade of the neuropeptide Y (NPY) Y1 receptor agonist [Leu31,Pro34]NPY-induced modulation of the characteristics of alpha 2-adrenoceptor agonist [3H]p-aminoclonidine binding sites by a selective non-peptide NPY Y1 receptor antagonist BIBP3226, was studied in the nucleus tractus solitarii of the rat by means of quantitative receptor autoradiography. [Leu31,Pro34]NPY at a concentration of 10 nM significantly increased the Kd value of [3H]p-aminoclonidine binding sites in the nucleus tractus solitarii without influencing the Bmax, suggesting the existence of an antagonistic modulation by NPY Y1 receptors of alpha 2-adrenoceptors in the nucleus tractus solitarii. BIBP3226 at 100 nM fully blocked the [Leu31,Pro34]NPY-induced increase in Kd of the [3H]p-aminoclonidine binding sites. The present results therefore provide evidence, by use of a NPY Y1 receptor antagonist, for the existence of a NPY Y1/alpha 2 receptor interaction in the nucleus tractus solitarii.
采用定量受体放射自显影术,在大鼠孤束核中研究了选择性非肽类神经肽Y(NPY)Y1受体拮抗剂BIBP3226对神经肽Y(NPY)Y1受体激动剂[Leu31,Pro34]NPY诱导的α2肾上腺素能受体激动剂[3H]对氨基可乐定结合位点特性调节的潜在阻断作用。浓度为10 nM的[Leu31,Pro34]NPY显著增加了孤束核中[3H]对氨基可乐定结合位点的解离常数(Kd)值,而不影响最大结合容量(Bmax),这表明孤束核中NPY Y1受体对α2肾上腺素能受体存在拮抗调节作用。100 nM的BIBP3226完全阻断了[Leu31,Pro34]NPY诱导的[3H]对氨基可乐定结合位点Kd值的增加。因此,本研究结果通过使用NPY Y1受体拮抗剂,为孤束核中存在NPY Y1/α2受体相互作用提供了证据。
