Ontogenetic and Pharmacological Studies on Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors Coupled to Phospholipase D Activation

1997

The present study was aimed at characterizing the metabotropic receptor subtype which is involved in the activation of phospholipase D (PLD) by glutamate in rat hippocampal slices. We first observed that the ontogenetic profile of glutamate-induced hydrolysis of phosphoinositides and of phosphatidylcholine was strikingly similar. Both pathways were significantly activated by glutamate in tissue taken from 3-, 8- and 15-day old rats, but not in adult rats. PLD activation was strongest in slices taken from 8-day old rats. At this age, quisqualate had a higher potency for PLD activation (EC50: 0.6 microM) than 1S,3R-ACPD (EC50: 16 microM) and DHPG, a specific activator of group I mGluR, was a …
