A M3 muscarinic receptor coupled to inositol phosphate formation in the rat cochlea?

Résumé

Various neuroactive substances, including excitatory and inhibitory amino acids, biogenic amines and neuropeptides, were tested for their ability to stimulate the inositol phosphate (IPs) cascade in the presence of lithium in the rat cochlea. Among them, only the muscarinic agonists (carbachol and oxotremorine M) were able to stimulate the IPs formation in 12-day-old rat cochleas. The carbachol-elicited IPs formation was inhibited by muscarinic antagonists with the following relative order of potency: atropine greater than 4-DAMP much greater than pirenzepine greater than methoctramine = AF-DX 116. This pharmacological profile suggests that the activation of the M3 muscarinic receptor subtype is responsible for the increase in IPs synthesis in the rat cochlea. However, an interaction with a m5 receptor subtype could not be completely excluded. The unusual link of only one receptor subtype with the phosphoinositide breakdown in the cochlea, as opposed to the usual existence of several receptors coupled to this transduction system in other organs such as the brain, suggest a unique role for muscarinic agonists in the cochlea.
