Autoradiographic localization of adenosine receptors in rat brain using [3H]cyclohexyladenosine
RR Goodman and SH Synder
Adenosine (A1) receptor binding sites have been localized in rat brain by
an in vitro light microscopic autoradiographic method. The binding of
[3H]N6-cyclohexyladenosine to slide-mounted rat brain tissue sections has
the characteristics of A1 receptors. It is saturable with high affinity and
has appropriate pharmacology and stereospecificity. The highest densities
of adenosine receptors occur in the molecular layer of the cerebellum, the
molecular and polymorphic layers of the hippocampus and dentate gyrus, the
medial geniculate body, certain thalamic nuclei, and the lateral septum.
High densities also are observed in certain layers of the cerebral cortex,
the piriform cortex, the caudate-putamen, the nucleus accumbens, and the
granule cell layer of the cerebellum. Most white matter areas, as well as
certain gray matter areas, such as the hypothalamus, have negligible
receptor concentrations. These localizations suggest possible central
nervous system sites of action of adenosine.
