Group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are positively coupled to phosphoinositide hydrolysis through G-proteins and are densely expressed in the medium-sized spiny neurons of striatum. Activation of this group of mGluRs in the striatum produces long-lasting stimulation of behavioral activity. In this study, the role of group I mGluRs in the modulation of neuropeptide mRNA expression in striatal neurons was investigated using a Group I-selective agonist, 3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine (DHPG) in chronically cannulated rats. Unilateral injections of DHPG into the dorsal striatum (caudoputamen) at behaviorally active doses of 20, 40, and 80 nmol elevated basal levels of preprodynorphin (PPD), substance P (SP), and preproenkephalin (PPE) mRNAs in the injected dorsal striatum as revealed by quantitative in situ hybridization. The elevation of all three mRNAs was dose-dependent and the responsiveness of opioid peptide mRNAs (PPD and PPE) to acute injection of DHPG at each dose surveyed was greater than that of SP mRNA. Induction of the mRNAs was delayed and prolonged as increases in hybridization signal became evident at 2 (SP and PPE) or 3 (PPD) h, reached a peak between 3 and 6 h, and returned to normal levels 24 h after DHPG injection. Coadministration of a Group I-selective antagonist, n-phenyl-7-(hydroxyimino)cyclopropa[b]chromen-1a-carbo xamide (PHCCC, 10 nmol), with DHPG markedly attenuated DHPG-stimulated PPD, PPE, and, to a lesser extent, SP expression. Administration of PHCCC alone had no significant effect on basal levels of three mRNA expression in the striatum. This study provides a detailed description of the dose- and time-related alterations in striatonigral PPD/SP and striatopallidal PPE mRNA expression in response to a single injection of the Group I agonist DHPG. Data obtained demonstrate a facilitatory, dynamic regulation of constitutive expression of PPD, SP, and PPE mRNAs by local enhancement of glutamatergic tone on DHPG- and PHCCC-sensitive Group I mGluRs.
