Extensive overlap of mu-opioid and nicotinic sensitivity in cortical interneurons.

Résumé

We studied mu-opioid transmission in acute slices of rat neocortex using whole-cell recordings and single-cell reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. The mu-opioid receptor (MOR) was found in gamma-aminobutyric acidergic (GABAergic) interneurons that were either layer I cells frequently expressing neuropeptide Y or layers II-V cells expressing vasoactive intestinal peptide and enkephalin (Enk). We found that mu-opioid agonists inhibit these interneurons that are selectively excited by nicotinic agonists. The extensive overlap of mu-opioid and nicotinic responsiveness allowed mu-opioid agonists to inhibit nicotinic excitation of responsive interneurons and of their GABAergic output onto pyramidal cells. Finally, nicotinic stimulation resulted in a dynamic sequence where GABAergic transmission was first enhanced and then depressed below its baseline. This latter disinhibitory effect was prevented by a mu-opioid antagonist, indicating that excitation of nicotinic-responsive interneurons induced the release of endogenous Enk, which in turn led to MOR activation. Our results suggest that neocortical mu-opioid transmission acts as an inhibitory feedback onto nicotinic-responsive interneurons, which may change network excitability and inhibition patterns during cholinergic excitation.
