To investigate the electrophysiological effects of the stimulation of the metabotropic excitatory amino acid receptors, we applied trans-1-amino-cyclopentane-1,3-dicarboxylate, an agonist of this type of receptors, on presumed rat dopamine cells intracellularly recorded in vitro. Trans-1-amino-cyclopentane-1,3-dicarboxylate (3-30 microM, t-ACPD) caused a sustained increase of the spontaneous firing rate and a depolarization. When the membrane potential was held at about the resting level (-50, -60 mV), by the single-electrode voltage-clamp technique, t-ACPD induced an inward current. In 57% of the tested cells the inward current was associated with a decrease of the apparent input conductance. In the remaining cells no obvious changes in membrane conductance were observed. The active form of t-ACPD, (1S,3R)-1-amino-cyclopentane-1,3-dicarboxylate [3-50 microM, (1S,3R)-ACPD] also produced a reversible inward current on the dopaminergic cells and this was antagonized by (S)-4-carboxy-3-hydroxyphenylglycine (300 microM), a selective antagonist of the (1S,3R)-ACPD-induced depolarization on central neurons. The (1S,3R)-ACPD-induced inward current was not antagonized by L-2-amino-3-phosphonopropionic acid (100 microM), an antagonist of the t-ACPD-induced activation of inositide synthesis. 6-cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione (10 microM), an alfa-amino-3-hydroxy-5- methyl-isoxazole propionic acid/kainate antagonist, DL-amino-5-phosphonopentanoic acid (30 microM), an N-methyl-D-aspartate antagonist, and scopolamine (10 microM), a muscarinic antagonist, did not significantly affect the actions of t-ACPD. A block of synaptic transmission obtained by applying tetrodotoxin failed to prevent the action of t-ACPD.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
