A Postsynaptic Interaction between Dopamine D1 and

The mechanism underlying dopamine D1
receptor-mediated attenuation of glutamatergic synaptic input to
nucleus accumbens (NAcc) neurons was investigated in slices of rat
forebrain, using whole-cell patch-clamp recording. The depression by
dopamine of EPSCs evoked by single-shock cortical stimulation was
stimulus-dependent. Synaptic activation of NMDA-type glutamate
receptors was critical for this effect, because dopamine-induced EPSC
depressions were blocked by the competitive NMDA receptor antagonist
D/L-2-amino-5-phosphonopentanoate (AP5).
Application of NMDA also depressed the EPSC, and both this effect and
the dopamine depressions were blocked by the A1 receptor antagonist 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine (DPCPX), implicating adenosine release in the EPSC depression. A1 receptor
agonists also depressed EPSCs by a presynaptic action, causing
increased paired-pulse facilitation, but this was insensitive to AP5.
Activation of D1 receptors enhanced both postsynaptic
inward currents evoked by NMDA application and the isolated NMDA
receptor-mediated component of synaptic transmission. The biochemical
processes underlying the dopamine-induced EPSC depression did not
involve either protein kinase A or the production of cAMP and its
metabolites, because this effect was resistant to the protein kinase
inhibitors H89 and H7 and the cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase inhibitor
rolipram. We conclude that activation of postsynaptic D1
receptors enhances the synaptic activation of NMDA receptors in nucleus
accumbens neurons, thereby promoting a transsynaptic feedback
inhibition of glutamatergic synaptic transmission via release of
adenosine. Unusually for D1 receptors, this phenomenon
occurs independently of adenylyl cyclase stimulation. This process may
contribute to the locomotor stimulant action of dopaminergic agents in
the NAcc.
