ABSTRACT
In the present study we characterize the optimal experimental conditions under which to investigate the cholinergic regulation of endogenous electrically evoked gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) release from guinea pig cortical slices. Superfusion with the neuronal GABA reuptake inhibitor, SKF89976A (10 microM) caused cortical GABA release to be linearly correlated with the frequency of electrical stimulation (5, 10, 20 Hz). Electrically evoked GABA release (10 Hz) was tetrodotoxin-sensitive and Ca(2+)-dependent and was under GABAB autoreceptor control. Under these experimental conditions, acetylcholine (0.1-10 microM) and physostigmine (30 microM) decreased the electrically evoked GABA release while the M2 receptor antagonist AFDX-116 (0.01-0.1 microM) counteracted these effects. Similar results were also observed in a cortical synaptosomal preparation stimulated with K+ (10 mM). These findings demonstrate an inhibitory cholinergic regulation of electrically evoked GABA release via M2 receptors located on cortical GABAergic terminals.
