Abstract

Direct comparisons have been made between the release of radiolabelled and endogenous dopamine from superfused rat striatal slices prelabelled with 3H-dopamine. Both spontaneous release and release evoked by electrical field stimulation (3 Hz, 2 min) were measured using a high-sensitivity HPLC system with electrochemical (coulometric) detection, plus scintillation counting of chromatographically separated superfusate fractions. Two periods of electrical stimulation released similar amounts of endogenous dopamine, but the second stimulation released much less 3H-dopamine than did the first, although the levels of spontaneous release immediately before the two stimuli were similar. Substantial increases in endogenous 3,4-dihydroxy phenyl acetic acid (DOPAC) release but only minor increases in 3H-DOPAC release occurred following the two stimuli. The dopamine agonist pergolide (1 microM) reduced the electrically-stimulated release of both 3H-dopamine and endogenous dopamine to a similar extent, whilst the D2-selective antagonist sulpiride (1 microM) produced large increases in both 3H-dopamine and endogenous dopamine electrically-stimulated release. In addition, spontaneous release of both 3H-dopamine and endogenous dopamine were decreased by pergolide and increased by sulpiride. Co-addition of sulpiride and pergolide produced lesser increases than those seen with sulpiride alone. These studies indicate that, despite major differences between 3H-dopamine and endogenous dopamine release in response to various stimuli, their regulation by D2-autoreceptors appears similar; a novel finding being the modulation of spontaneous 3H-dopamine release by autoreceptors.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
