Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) form a receptor family that consists of diverse receptor subtypes; now, numbering 8--exclusive of splice variants. (1S,3R)-1-aminocyclopentane-1,3-dicarboxylic acid (1S,3R-ACPD) has been suggested to be a selective agonist for the mGluRs. We have recently reported that, in rat dorsolateral septal nucleus (DLSN) neurones, a 1S,3R-ACPD-preferring inward current (ACPDi) persists in pertussis toxin-treated rats. We now report that this ACPDi-current: (1) persists in DLSN neurones dialyzed with a stable analog of GTP, namely, GTP gamma S; (2) exhibits a negative slope region with inward rectification in its I-V relationship; (3) persists in neurones superfused with tetrodotoxin or low calcium solutions; (4) is dependent upon both sodium and calcium ions; and (5) is independent of a reduction in temperature. Furthermore, pharmacological data suggest that this current may be activated by a unique type of excitatory amino acid (EAA) receptor, i.e. a receptor which prefers "metabotropic" EAA agonists and is insensitive to AP5 or CNQX. Activation by ACPD of inward currents associated with a conductance increase have also been reported at cultured mouse cerebellar Purkinje neurones; in slices of rat hippocampal CA1 neurones and slice cultures of hippocampal CA3 neurones. We suggest that this ACPDi current may play an important role within the CNS in the induction of long-term potentiation and other neurological processes; processes attributed previously to currents associated with NMDA receptor activation.
