    Abstract The basal ganglia are implicated in a number of disorders including neurodegenerative motor diseases such as Huntington's and Parkinson's disease, as well as psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and obsessive compulsive disorder. In recent years, a great deal of effort has been focused on determining the basal ganglia circuitry that underlies normal behavior, as well as many of these syndromes. This has led to a detailed understanding of both the normal and pathophysiological flow of information through the basal ganglia, and has provided the opportunity to begin developing novel pharmacological methods of intervention by targeting neuromodulatory receptors with in the basal ganglia circuit. One group of receptors that holds much promise for several basal ganglia disorders is the metabotropic glutamate receptors. Data from behavioral, neurochemical, neuroanatomical and electrophysiological studies has begun to reveal the functional roles that the metabotropic glutamate receptors play in modulating the basal ganglia circuit, and suggests that compounds selectively targeting these receptors may provide novel therapies for a variety of disorders including Parkinson's disease, addiction, and epilepsy.

    Abstract Hippocampal synaptic plasticity and learning are strongly regulated by metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) and particularly by mGluR5. Here, we investigated the mechanisms underlying mGluR5-modulation of these phenomena. Prolonged pharmacological blockade of mGluR5 with MPEP produced a profound impairment of spatial memory. Effects were associated with 1) a reduction of mGluR1a-expression in the dentate gyrus; 2) impaired dentate gyrus LTP; 3) enhanced CA1-LTP and 4) suppressed theta (5-10 Hz) and gamma (30-100 Hz) oscillations in the dentate gyrus. Allosteric potentiation of mGluR1 after mGluR5 blockade significantly ameliorated dentate gyrus LTP, as well as suppression of gamma oscillatory activity. CA3-lesioning prevented MPEP effects on CA1-LTP, suggesting that plasticity levels in CA1 are driven by mGluR5-dependent synaptic and network activity in the dentate gyrus. These data support the hypothesis that prolonged mGluR5-inactivation causes altered hippocampal LTP levels and network activity, which is mediated in part by impaired mGluR1-expression in the dentate gyrus. The consequence is impairment of long-term learning.

    Abstract Human placental choriocarcinoma (JAR) cells endogenously expressing glycine transporter type 1a (GlyT1a) have been cultured in 96-well scintillating microplates to develop a homogenous screening assay for the detection of GlyT1 antagonists. In these microplates uptake of [14C]glycine was time dependent and saturable with a Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) of 27+/-3 microM. The GlyT1 transport inhibitors sarcosine, ALX-5407, and Org-24598 were tested and shown to block [14C]glycine uptake with expected IC50 values of 37.5+/-4.6 microM, 2.8+/-0.6 nM, and 6.9+/-0.9 nM, respectively. The [14C]glycine uptake process was sensitive to membrane Na+ gradient as blockade of membrane Na+/K+-ATPase by ouabain or Na+ exchanger by benzamil-disrupted glycine accumulation in JAR cells. Glycine influx was not affected by concentration of dimethyl sulfoxide up to 2%. The versatility of this technological approach was further confirmed by the characterization of a saturable [14C]taurine uptake in JAR cells. Taurine transport was of high affinity with a Km of 10.2+/-1.7 microM and fully inhibited by ALX-5407 (IC50=522 +/-83 nM). The developed assay is homogenous, rapid, versatile and amenable to automation for the discovery of new neurotransmitter transporter inhibitors.
