摘要
The mechanism by which presynaptic muscarinic autoreceptors inhibit the release of acetylcholine (ACh) from cerebrocortical cholinergic fibres has not been clarified. To test the view that muscarinic autoreceptors act by decreasing Ca2+ influx, we performed experiments in which mt cerebrocortical prisms were preloaded with (C-14)choline, washed, depolarized with 14-65 mM K+ in the absence of Ca2+ and then exposed (still under depolarization) to various concentrations of Ca2+ to evoke the release of (C-14)ACh. The muscarinic agonist, oxotremorine, used at a 100 muM concentration, inhibited the release of (C-14)ACh by 59-86% in experiments with 14 and 26.5 mM K+ but had no significant effect at 65.5 mM K+. No systematic changes in the inhibitory effects of oxotremorine could be found at any of the K+ concentrations used when the concentration of Ca2+ was varied in the range of 0.25-4.0 mM. At 2 mM Ca2+ and K+ concentrations above 14 mM, the inhibitory effect of oxotremorine was inversely related to the concentration of K+. The inhibitory effect of oxotremorine on (C-14)ACh release was not blocked by 100 muM 4-aminopyridine. The fact that the inhibitory effect of oxotremorine could not be overcome by an increase in the concentration of Ca2+ suggests that, under the conditions used, a restriction of the influx of Ca2+ did not play a major role in the muscarinic inhibition of ACh release; rather, oxotremorine appeared to act by decreasing membrane depolarization. Our observations are best explained in terms of the Ca2+-voltage hypothesis of neurotransmitter release, supposing that a voltage-activated molecule is involved in the control of the release process at a post-Ca2+-entry stage.
