1 Brain dopamine and mild hypoxia Denoroy L, Orset C, Parrot S, Berod A, Sauvinet V, Cottet-Emard JM, Pequignot JM. Université Claude Bernard, Lyon, France

2 Striatum vulnerable to hypoxia ischemia necrotic and apoptotic neuronal death Mild (tolerable) hypoxaemic hypoxia no neuronal loss alterations in behavior : locomotion changes in neurotransmission?

3 Striatum Glutamate GABA, Enkephalin Substance P Acetylcholine NPY VIP Serotonin Dopamine

4 To in vivo determine extracellular dopamine and metabolites in the striatum of awake rats during acute hypoxia (1%O 2-9%N 2, 1 hour)

5 Microdialysis 1-4 mm Microdialysis probe capillary artificial CSF (1 µl/min) sample stainless steel tubing membrane monitoring of the extracellular concentrations of neurotransmitters in situ administration of drugs by reverse dialysis detection of several neurotransmitters (depending on the analytical techniques) 225 µm

6 acsf (1.5 µl/min.) Microdialysis probe Dental cement guide cortex Membrane ø = 225µm L = 3 mm striatum

7 Analysis of microdialysates Capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence detection (Naphtalene-2,3-dicarboxyaldehyde/NaCN derivatization) Dopamine High performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection 3,4 dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) Homovanillic acid (HVA)

9 Why in vivo studies in awake animals? Anaesthesia + Hypoxia +/- Release of neurotransmitters - carotid chemoreceptors Adaptation response

16 Effect of nomifensine on hypoxia-induced induced increase in dopamine % of basal concentration hypoxic control hypoxic control % O 2 1 μm nomifensine

17 Origin of 1% O 2 hypoxia-induced induced increase in dopamine Nomifensine : Inhibits dopamine increase when applied prior to hypoxia Fails to alter dopamine increase when applied after the beginning of hypoxia Hypoxia-induced increase in dopamine : Onset : dependent on dopamine transporters Maintenance : not linked to dopamine transporters

19 Origin of 1% O 2 hypoxia-induced induced increase in dopamine Tetrodotoxin : Inhibits dopamine increase when applied prior to hypoxia after the beginning of hypoxia Hypoxia-induced increase in dopamine : Onset and maintenance need voltage-dependent Na+ channels

20 Origin of 1% O 2 hypoxia-induced induced increase in dopamine Modulation by glutamate receptors of the N-methyl-D-aspartate type? Effects of NMDA receptors antagonists on hypoxia-induced dopamine increase

21 Effect of MK-81 on hypoxia-induced induced increase in dopamine % of basal concentration hypoxic control hypoxic control % O 2 5 μm MK 81

22 Origin of hypoxia-induced induced increase in dopamine Onset : dependent on voltagegated Na + channels dependent on dopamine transporters inhibited by NMDA receptors Maintenance : dependent on voltagegated Na + channels not linked to dopamine transporters independent of NMDA receptors control hypoxic 1% O

23 Hypoxia-induced induced increase in striatal dopamine depends on voltage-gated gated Na+ channels Enhanced activity in nigro-striatal dopaminergic pathway? Study of c-fos gene expression Immunohistochemistry of Fos protein

Effect of hypoxia (1% oxygen during 1 h ; top black bar) on dopamine concentrations in microdialysates from striatum of freely-moving rats (A). The normoxic group (n=5) is represented by the vertical white bars and the hypoxic group (n=8) by the vertical black bars. Nomifensine (1 µm) was perfused (crossed bar) just before (B) (normoxic n=6 ; hypoxic n=5) or 14 minutes after the beginning of the hypoxic period (C) (normoxic n=6 ; hypoxic n=6). TTX (5µM) was perfused (hatched bar) just before (D) (normoxic n=6 ; hypoxic n=5) or 14 minutes after the beginning of the hypoxic period (E) (normoxic n=6 ; hypoxic n=7). Data are expressed as percentages (mean ± SEM) of the baseline values preceding hypoxia and drug administration. p<.5 vs. control animals (ANOVA and post-hoc Student s t test).

27 Origin of 1% O 2 hypoxia-induced induced decreases in DOPAC and HVA Unaffected by nomifensine and MK-81 May be linked to a fall in dopamine synthesis
