Activation of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) causes
membrane hyperpolarization in midbrain dopamine neurons. This hyperpolarization results from the opening of
Ca2+-sensitive K+ channels, which
is mediated by the release of Ca2+ from
intracellular stores. Neurotransmitter-induced mobilization of
Ca2+ is generally ascribed to the action of inositol
1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3) in neurons. Here we show
that the mGluR-mediated Ca2+ mobilization in
dopamine neurons is caused by two intracellular second messengers:
IP3 and cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR). Focal activation of mGluRs, attained by synaptic release of glutamate or iontophoretic application of aspartate, induced a wave of Ca2+
that spread over a distance of ~50 µm through dendrites and the soma. Simultaneous inhibition of both IP3- and
cADPR-dependent pathways with heparin and 8-NH2-cADPR was
required to block the mGluR-induced Ca2+ release,
indicating a redundancy in the signaling mechanism. Activation of
ryanodine receptors was suggested to mediate the cADPR-dependent
pathway, because ruthenium red, an antagonist of ryanodine receptors,
inhibited the mGluR response only when the cADPR-dependent pathway was
isolated by blocking the IP3-dependent pathway with
heparin. Finally, the mGluR-mediated hyperpolarization was shown to
induce a transient pause in the spontaneous firing of dopamine neurons.
These results demonstrate that an excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate
uses multiple intracellular pathways to exert an inhibitory control on
the excitability of dopamine neurons.
