摘要
Previous studies have suggested that central administration of neuropeptide FF-related peptides may modulate cardiovascular parameters in the rat. In the present study, we investigated the role of dorsal vagal complex neuropeptide FF receptors in the central regulation of cardiovascular parameters. The fate of neuropeptide FF receptors in normal and nodose ganglionectomized rats was investigated using an autoradiographic approach with I-125-[DTyr(1), (NMe)Phe(3)]NPFF as ligand for these receptors. We showed that neuropeptide FF binding sites are preferentially located postsynaptically with respect to the vagal afferent fibers in the nucleus tractus solitarius. Thus, ganglionectomy reduced by only 30% and 17% the density of peptide binding sites in the rostral and caudal regions of this nucleus, respectively. Bilateral microinjection of neuropeptide FF (1 nmol) into the commissural nucleus tractus solitarius produced an increase in blood pressure (+13.8 +/- 0.8 mmHg, n = 6), bradycardia (-29.0 +/- 3.2 bpm) and a significant inhibition (-47.6 + 3.1%) of the cardiac component of the baroreceptor reflex. Further studies with doses below 1 nmol indicate that NTS microinjections of the neuropeptide produced a dose-dependent decrease in heart rate. Similar cardiovascular effects were observed after bilateral NTS microinjections of one analog neuropeptide FF receptor agonist, [DTyr(1), (NMe)Phe(3)]NPFF (1 nmol). Pretreatment with prazosin (100 mu g/kg), an alpha(1)-adrenoreceptor antagonist, inhibited the neuropeptide FF-evoked blood pressure effect. In addition, the neuropeptide FF-induced heart rate decrease was abolished by pretreatment with atropine (30 mu g/kg), a muscarinic receptor antagonist. Taken together, these anatomical and pharmacological data suggest that neuropeptide FF receptors within the nucleus tractus solitarius, preferentially located on the postsynaptic component, are involved in the central reflex regulation of cardiovascular parameters.
