  • Dopamine is a major neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS) that regulates neuroendocrine functions, locomotor activity, cognition and emotion. The dopamine system has been extensively studied because dysfunction of this system is linked to various pathological conditions including Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, Tourette's syndrome, and drug addiction. Accordingly, intense efforts to delineate the full complement of signaling pathways mediated by individual receptor subtypes have been pursued. Dopamine D1-like receptors are of particular interest because they are the most abundant dopamine receptors in CNS. Recent work suggests that dopamine signaling could be regulated via dopamine receptor interacting proteins (DRIPs). Unraveling these DRIPs involved in the dopamine system may provide a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying CNS disorders related to dopamine system dysfunction and may help identify novel therapeutic targets.

  • Dopamine mediates inhibitory responses in Helix aspersa neurons from the right parietal lobe ("F-lobe") of the circumoesophageal ganglia. The effects appeared as a dose-dependent hyperpolarization of the plasma membrane and a decrease in the occurrence of spontaneous action potentials. The average hyperpolarization with 5 ${\mu}m$ dopamine was -12 mV (${\pm}1.5$mV, S.D., n=12). Dopamine also modulated the currents 'responsible for shaping the action potentials in these neurons. When dopamine was added and action potentials were triggered by an injection of current, the initial depolarization was slowed, the amplitude and the duration of action potentials were decreased, and the after-hyperpolarization was more pronounced. The amplitude and the duration of action potential were reduced about 15 mV and about 13% by 5 ${\mu}m$ dopamine, respectively. The effects of dopamine on the resting membrane potentials and the action potentials of Helix neurons were dose-dependent in the concentration range 0.1 ${\mu}m$ to 50 ${\mu}m$. In order to show 1) that the effects of dopamine were mediated by dopamine receptors rather than by direct action on ionic channels and 2) which type of dopamine receptor might be responsible for the various effects, we assayed the ability of mammalian dopamine receptor antagonists, SCH-23390 (antagonist of D1 receptor) and spiperone (antagonist of D2 receptor), to block the dopamine-dependent changes. The D1 and D2 antagonists partially inhibited the dopamine-dependent hyperpolarization and the decrease in action potential amplitude. They both completely blocked the decrease in action potential duration and the increase in action potential after-hyperpolarization. The dopamine-induced slowdown of the depolarization in the initial phase of the action potentials was less effected by SCH-23390 and spiperone. From the results we suggest 1) that Helix F-lobe neurons may have a single type of dopamine receptor that binds both SCH-23390 and spiperone and 2) that the dopamine receptor of Helix F-lobe neurons may be homologous with and primitive to the family of mammalian dopamine receptors.

  • Dopamine is an enteric neurotransmitter that regulates gastrointestinal motility. This study was done to investigate whether dopamine modulates spontaneous pacemaker activity in cultured interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) from mouse using whole cell patch clamp technique, RT-PCR and live $Ca^{2+}$ imaging analysis. ICCs generate pacemaker inward currents at a holding potential of -70 mV and generate pacemaker potentials in current-clamp mode. Dopamine did not change the frequency and amplitude of pacemaker activity in small intestinal ICCs. On the contrary dopamine reduced the frequency and amplitude of pacemaker activity in large intestinal ICCs. RT-PCR analysis revealed that Dopamine2 and 4-receptors are expressed in c-Kit positive ICCs. Dopamine2 and 4 receptor agonists inhibited pacemaker activity in large intestinal ICCs mimicked those of dopamine. Domperidone, dopamine2 receptor antagonist, increased the frequency of pacemaker activity of large intestinal ICCs. In $Ca^{2+}$-imaging, dopamine inhibited spontaneous intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ oscillations of ICCs. These results suggest that dopamine can regulate gastrointestinal motility through modulating pacemaker activity of large intestinal ICCs and dopamine effects on ICCs are mediated by dopamine2 receptor and intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ modulation.

  • Many in-depth reviews related to regulations of prolactin secretion are available. We will, therefore, focus on controversial aspects using personal opinion in this review. The neuroendocrine control of prolactin secretion from the anterior pituitary gland involves multiple factors including prolactin-release inhibiting factor (PIF) and prolactin releasing factor (PRF). The PIF exerts a tonic inhibitory control in the physiological conditions. The PIF should be able to effectively inhibit prolactin release or a lifetime, but the inhibitory action of dopamine cannot be sustained for a long period of time. Perifusion of a high concentration of dopamine (l ,000 nM) could not sustain inhibitory action on prolactin release but when a small amount of ascorbic acid (0.1 mM) is added in a low concentration of dopamine (3 nM) solution, prolactin release was inhibited for a long period. Ascorbate is essential for dopamine action to inhibit prolactin release. We have, therefore, concluded that the PIF is dopamine plus ascorbate. The major transduction system for dopamine to inhibit prolactin release is the adenylyl cyclase system. Dopamine decreases cyclic AMP concentration by inhibiting adenylyl cyclase, and cyclic AMP stimulates prolactin release. However, the inhibitory mechanism of dopamine on prolactin release is much more complex than simple inhibition of CAMP production. The dopamine not only inhibits cyclic AMP synthesis but also inhibits prolactin release by acting on a link(s) after the CAMP event in a chain reaction for inhibiting prolactin release. Low concentrations of dopamine stimulate prolactin release. Lactotropes are made of several different subtypes of cells and several different dopamine receptors are found in pituitary. The inhibitory and stimulatory actions induced by dopamine can be generated by different subtype of receptors. The GH$_4$ZR$_7$ cells express only the short isoform (D$_{2s}$) of the dopamine receptor, as a result of transfecting the D$_{2s}$ receptors into GH$_4$C$_1$ cells which do not express any dopamine receptors. When dopamine stimulates or inhibits prolactin release in GH$_4$ZR$_7$ cells, it is clear that the dopamine should act on dopamine D$_{2s}$ receptors since there is no other dopamine receptor in the GH$_4$ZR$_7$. Dopamine is able to stimulate prolactin release in a relatively low concentration while it inhibits in a high concentration in GH$_4$ZR$_7$. These observations indicate that the dopamine D$_2$ receptor can activate stimulatory and/or inhibitory transduction system depending upon dopamine concentrations.

  • 근세포가 분화하는 과정에 있어서 신경전달물질의 역할을 알아보기 위해서 배양중인 근원세포에 dopamine을 처리하고, 융합지수, creatine kinase 합성률 및 dopamine에 대한 차등감수성을 조사하였다. 배양후 34시간된 근원세포에 $3 \\times 10^{-5} M$의 dopamine을 처리하면 그후 전 시기에 걸쳐 융합지수가 크게 감소되며, 이와 더불어 creatine kinase의 합성률도 감소하는 사실로 미우러 이들 사이에 상관관계가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 dopamine의 융합억제효과는 세포주기에 따라 감수성이 달라지는 차등감수성을 관찰할 수 있었는데, 이는 근세포막에 위치할 것으로 생각되는 dopamine receptor의 배치가 세포주기에 따라 달라지는 데 연유되는 것으로 추정되었다.

  • dopamine이 십이지장구를 포함한 소장의 운동성에 미치는 영향, cholecystokinin이 dopamine의 작용에 미치는 영향 그리고 이들 작용의 신경성 기전을 알아보고자 다음과 같은 실험을 실시하였다. ether로 마취한 토끼 54마리에서 십이지장구, 십이지장, 공장 그리고 회장을 적출하고 절편(길이 1cm)을 만들어 Krebs-Ringr 용액이 채워진 기록 용기에 넣고 자발적인 등장성 수축을 기록하였다. Krebs-Ringr 용액에는 5% $Co_2$를 함유하는 $O_2$를 계속 공급하였으며, 용액의 온도가 $37^{\circ}C$를 유지하도록 하였다. 자발적 수축이 시작하고 20분이 경과한 다음 dopamine($10^{-4}M$), CCK-8($10^{-8}M$), dopamine($10^{^6}M$)등을 투여하면서 수축성을 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1) dopamine은 소장의 모든 부위에서 자발적 수축성을 억제하였으며, 이러한 dopamine의 작용은 회장을 제외한 다른 부위에서 tetrodotoxin에 의하여 유의하게 감소하였다. 2) domperidone은 소장의 모든 부위에서 dopamine의 억제작용에 길항적으로 작용하였으며, tetrodotoxin을 전처치하면 회장을 제외한 다른 부위에서 domperidone의 길항작용은 완전히 소실되었다. 3) CCK-8는 소장의 모든 부위에서 dopamine의 작용을 감소시켰으며, tetrodotoxin을 전처치하면 CCK-8의 작용은 유의하게 감소되었다. 이상의 결과로 미루어 보아 dopamine은 십이지장구를 포함한 모든 소장의 수축성을 억제하며, CCK-8는 dopamine의 억제 작용을 감소시키는데, 이러한 작용들은 장관내 신경계를 거쳐서 간접적으로 일어나는 것으로 생각된다.

  • Changes in the distribution of dopamine and its metabolites, activities of monoamine oxidase, and dopamine uptake were studied inhyperglycemic rat striatum. The hyperglycemia was induced by the administration of streptozotocin (STZ, 40 mg/kg, i.p. for 3 days.). The levels of dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) and homovanillic acid were significantly decreased without change in dopamine level in the synatic cleft 14 days after STZ treatment. In the synaptosome, the dopamine level, however, was significanly increased after the treatment. But the DOPAC level in the synaptosome was decreased 14 days after the treatment. The affinity of dopamine uptake was significantly decreased without changes in the velocity 14 days after the treatment. However the response to uptqke inhibitor was unchanged. The striatal monoamine oxidase activities were also decreased in the hyperglycemic state. These results indicate that various parameters of striatal dopamine activities were decreased in the hyperglycemic rats. Furthermore, it suggests that the increase in dopamine level of synaptosome might be due to the decrease in the release of dopaine in hyperglycemic state.

  • The changes in the levels of the extracellular dopamine metabolites and the responses to various dopamine agents were studied by using microdialysis inhyperglycemic rat striatum. The hyperglycemia were induced by the administriation of streptozotocin (40 mg/kg, i.p. for 3 days.). The basal levels of striatal dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) and homovanillic acid (HVA) were significantly decreased in hyperglycemic rat striatum. After the administration ofl D-1 and D-2 receptor antagonists, SCH-23390 and (-)sulpiride, to rats 14 days after the last administration of STZ, the increased rates in DOPAC levels were higher in hyper- than in normoglycemic rats. However, after the administration of dopamine autoeceptor agonist, 3(-)PPP, the levels of the extracellular HVA were increased in normoglycemic rats, but those were not altered in hyperglycemic rats. The results indicate that the striatal dopamine activities were decreased in the hyperglycemic rats and suggest that release of dopamine may be decreased in hyperglycemic rats. Furthermore it suggest that the increase in the levels of the extracellular dopamine metabolites by dopamine antagonists might be dur to the incrrased sensitivities of the dopamine receptors in hyperglycemic state.

  • Dopamine agonists and antagonists and its receptor play a critical role in the information transfer in the nervous system, and dopamine receptor-ligands interactions are deeply related to Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia and some other mental diseases. However, the only experimental 3D structure available for dopamine receptors is human D3 dopamine receptor. Therefore, it is important to create model of subtype dopamine receptor-ligands interactions. We report here the 3D structures of the human D1 and D2 dopamine receptor predicted by using GalaxyTBM, and its predicted binding site determined by using GalaxyDock. The highly conserved Asp on TM 3 and Phe on TM 6 have critical role in ligand binding. Also, highly conserved serines on TM 5 are essential for binding agonists and some kinds of antagonists. We identify differences between binding sites of agonists and antagonists of human D1 and D2 dopamine receptor, and find the reasons of selective binding of antagonists.

  • $Na^+/H^+$ exchanger (NHE) has a critical role in regulation of intracellular pH (pHi) in the renal proximal tubular cells. It has recently been shown that dopamine inhibits NHE in the renal proximal tubules. Nevertheless, there is a dearth of information on the effects of long-term (chronic) dopamine treatment on NHE activities. This study was performed to elucidate the pHi regulatory mechanisms during the chronic dopamine treatments in renal proximal tubular OK cells. The resting pHi was greatly decreased by chronic dopamine treatments. The initial rate and the amplitude of intracellular acidification by isosmotical $Na^+$ removal from the bath medium in chronically dopamine-treated cells were much smaller than those in control. Although it seemed to be attenuated in $Na^+$-dependent pH regulation system, $Na^+$-dependent pHi recovery by NHE after intracelluar acid loading in the dopamine-treated groups was not significantly different from the control. The result is interpreted to be due to the balance between the stimulation effects of lower pHi on the NHE activity and counterbalance by dopamine. Our data strongly suggested that chronic dopamine treatment increased intrinsic intracellular buffer capacity, since higher buffer capacity was induced by lower resting pHi and this effect could attenuate pHi changes under extracellular $Na^+$-free conditions in chronically dopamine-treated cells. Our study also demonstrated that intracellular acidification induced by chronic dopamine treatments was not mediated by changes in NHE activity.
