Hypocretins (Orexins) Regulate Serotonin Neurons in the Dorsal Raphe Nucleus by Excitatory Direct and Inhibitory Indirect Actions

The hypocretins (hcrt1 and hcrt2) are expressed by a discrete population of hypothalamic neurons projecting to many regions of the CNS, including the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN), where serotonin (5-HT) neurons are concentrated. In this study, we investigated responses to hcrts in 216 physiologically identified 5-HT and non-5-HT neurons of the DRN using intracellular and whole-cell recording in rat brain slices. Hcrt1 and hcrt2 induced similar amplitude and dose-dependent inward currents in most 5-HT neurons tested (EC50, ~250 nM). This inward current was not blocked by the fast Na+ channel blocker TTX or in a Ca2+-free solution, indicating a direct postsynaptic action. The hcrt-induced inward current reversed near
18 mV and was primarily dependent on external Na+ but not on external or internal Ca2+, features typical of Na+/K+ nonselective cation channels. At higher concentrations, hcrts also increased spontaneous postsynaptic currents in 5-HT neurons (EC50, ~450-600 nM), which were TTX-sensitive and mostly blocked by the GABAA antagonist bicuculline, indicating increased impulse flow in local GABA interneurons. Accordingly, hcrts were found to increase the basal firing of presumptive GABA interneurons. Immunolabeling showed that hcrt fibers projected to both 5-HT and GABA neurons in the DRN. We conclude that hcrts act directly to excite 5-HT neurons primarily via a TTX-insensitive, Na+/K+ nonselective cation current, and indirectly to activate local inhibitory GABA inputs to 5-HT cells. The greater potency of hcrts in direct excitation compared with indirect inhibition suggests a negative feedback function for the latter at higher levels of hcrt activity.
