One might posit the ineffectiveness of trans-ACPD in Mg2+-free Ringer’s solution displays the G-protein-coupled receptor’s need for cytosolic Mg2+ ions in order to function efficiently (El-Beheiry & Puil, 1990; Rahman & Neuman, 1996b). But, in the present experiments the NMDA channel blockers memantine and MK-801 were able to substitute in large measure for Mg2+ ions. Mg2+, MK-801, and memantine all limit functioning of the NMDA receptors by binding to ABBV-4083 sites within the open ion channel managed by activation of the NMDA receptor (Huettner & Bean, 1988; MacDonald & Nowak, 1990; Blanpied et al., 1997). Our data are compatible with the hypothesis that trans-ACPD potentiates NMDA reactions in frog motoneurones by reducing channel block of the NMDA receptor. Activation of mGluRs and motoneurone depolarizations It has been previously shown that trans-ACPD depolarizes motoneurones in the rat spinal cord (Jane et al., 1994; King & Liu, 1997). This is also the case in the frog where we found the depolarization was significantly reduced, but not eliminated, by either TTX (inside a concentration sufficient to remove regenerative activity and firing of spinal interneurones and main afferent fibres) or from the non-specific iGluR antagonist kynurenate (inside a concentration sufficient to block reactions mediated by iGluRs). Moreover, the ability of TTX and kynurenate to reduce trans-ACPD-induced depolarizations was not additive. These findings suggest that a proportion of the trans-ACPD-depolarization happens indirectly, depends upon the discharge of interneurones and/or main afferent fibres, and may be caused by the release of L-glutamate and the subsequent activation of iGluRs. In part, the trans-ACPD-induced depolarization appears to result from direct effects of the agonist on motoneurone membranes. In additional systems, membrane depolarization caused by activation of mGluRs appears to be the result either of activation of a non-specific cationic conductance or of inhibition of various different K+ conductances (Charpak et al., 1990; Crpel et al., 1994; Gurineau et al., 1994). In the frog spinal cord, however, we cannot yet say precisely how trans-ACPD generates the direct component of motoneurone depolarization. Taken together, the results reported here suggest that the facilitation of NMDA-induced depolarizations of frog motoneurones by trans-ACPD is definitely caused by a mechanism that encompasses: (1) activation of group I mGluRs; (2) activation of a G-protein; (3) a rise in [Ca2+]i presumably resulting from production of phosphoinositides; (4) binding of Ca2+ ABBV-4083 to calmodulin and (5) reduction of the open channel block of the NMDA receptor produced by physiological concentrations of Mg2+ ions.
