Presynaptic nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) on striatal synaptosomes stimulate dopamine release. Partial inhibition by the 32-selective -conotoxin-MII indicates heterogeneity of presynaptic nAChRs on dopamine terminals. We have used this -conotoxin and UB-165, a novel hybrid of epibatidine and anatoxin-a, to address the hypothesis that the -conotoxin-MII-insensitive subtype is composed of 4 and 2 subunits. UB-165 shows intermediate potency, compared with the parent molecules, at 42* and 3-containing binding sites, and resembles epibatidine in its high discrimination of these sites over 7-type and muscle binding sites. (±)-Epibatidine, (±)-anatoxin-a, and (±)-UB-165 stimulated [³H]-dopamine release from striatal synaptosomes with EC₅₀ values of 2.4, 134, and 88 nM, and relative efficacies of 1:0.4:0.2, respectively. -Conotoxin-MII inhibited release evoked by these agonists by 48, 56, and 88%, respectively, suggesting that (±)-UB-165 is a very poor agonist at the -conotoxin-MII-insensitive nAChR subtype. In assays of ⁸⁶Rb⁺ efflux from thalamic synaptosomes, a model of an 42* nAChR response, (±)-UB-165 was a very weak partial agonist; the low efficacy of (±)-UB-165 at 42 nAChR was confirmed in Xenopus oocytes expressing various combinations of human nAChR subunits. In contrast, (±)-UB-165 and (±)-anatoxin-a were similarly efficacious and similarly sensitive to -conotoxin-MII in increasing intracellular Ca²⁺ in SH-SY5Y cells, a functional assay for native 3-containing nAChR. These data support the involvement of 42* nAChR in the presynaptic modulation of striatal dopamine release and illustrate the utility of exploiting a novel partial agonist, together with a selective antagonist, to dissect the functional roles of nAChR subtypes in the brain.

Key words: neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor; presynaptic nicotinic modulation; dopamine release; rat striatal synaptosomes; Xenopus oocytes; SH-SY5Y cells; -conotoxin
