Early changes in M2 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) induced by sarin intoxication may be linked to long lasting neurological effects
چکیده انگلیسی
The effect of sarin on the binding parameters (KD & Bmax) of M2 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) was studied 24 h and 1 week post exposure. Male & female Sprague-Daweley rats were poisoned with 1XLD50 sarin (80 μg/kg, im) followed by treatment of trimedoxime bromide and atropine (7.5:5 mg/kg, im) 1 min later. Brains were removed and analyzed for M2 mAChR binding, using [3H]AFDX384, an M2 selective antagonist. A significant increase in KD of M2 mAChR was found in the cortex 24 h post poisoning, displaying elevation from 4.65 ± 1.16 to 8.45 ± 1.06 nM and 5.24 ± 0.93 to 9.29 ± 1.56 nM in male and female rats, respectively. A rise in KD was also noted 1 week following exposure from 5.04 ± 1.20 to 11.75 ± 2.78 and from 5.37 ± 1.02 to 11.66 ± 1.73 nM, presenting an added increase of 51 and 40% (compared to 24 h) in males and females, respectively. Analysis of M2 receptor density (Bmax) revealed a significant reduction of 68% in males and insignificant reduction of 22% in females, 24 h after sarin exposure which was followed by 37% recovery in males and 100% recovery in females, 1 week later. These results indicate that sarin induces a long-term decreased affinity in M2 mAChR (elevated KDs) and a transient effect on the number of this receptor subtype (Bmax). We hypothesize that the reduced affinity of the M2 receptors (negative auto-regulatory receptors) may cause long-term brain deficits by impairing the normal regulation release of ACh into the synaptic cleft.
