Stimulation of melanotrope dopamine D2 receptors decreases mitotic rate, calcium channel activity, and the biosynthesis of several proteins. This study demonstrates that D2 receptor activation also affects GABA(A) receptor beta2/beta3 subunit immunoreactivity. Following chronic treatment with haloperidol, a D2 receptor antagonist, GABA(A) receptor immunoreactivity increased, whereas it decreased after chronic treatment with bromocriptine, a dopamine D2 receptor agonist. Thus, these data indicate that D2 function regulates GABA(A) receptor expression in melanotropes, a mechanism by which peptide release may be modified.
刺激促黑素细胞多巴胺D2受体可降低有丝分裂率、钙通道活性以及几种蛋白质的生物合成。本研究表明,D2受体激活还会影响GABA(A)受体β2/β3亚基的免疫反应性。用D2受体拮抗剂氟哌啶醇长期治疗后,GABA(A)受体免疫反应性增加,而用多巴胺D2受体激动剂溴隐亭长期治疗后则降低。因此,这些数据表明,D2功能调节促黑素细胞中GABA(A)受体的表达,这可能是一种调节肽释放的机制。
