Abstract

Adenosine and GABA are known to be major inhitory neurotransmitters in the central nervous system and its receptors mediate various neurophamacological effects including cardiovascular modulatory effects. Inhibitory cardiovascular effects induced by intrathecal (i.t.) administration of adenosine $A_1$ receptor agonist and its modulation by cyclic AMP was suggested by our previous report. In this experiment, we examined the modulation of cardiovascular effects of adenosine $A_1$ receptor and adenosine $A_2$ receptor by $GABA_B$ receptors antagonist in the spinal cord. I.t. administration of 10 nmol of $N^6$-cyclohexyladenosine (CHA, an adenosine $A_1$ receptor agonist), I.t. administration of 2 nmol of 5'-(N-cyclopropyl)-carboxamidoadenosine (CPCA, an adenosine $A_2$ receptor agonist), pretreatment with 5-aminovaleric acid (a $GABA_B$ receptor antagonist, 50 nmol, i.t.) prior to administration of CHA and pretreatment with 5-aminovaleric acid (a $GABA_B$ receptor antagonist, 50 nmol, i.t.) prior to administration of CPCA were performed in anesthetized, artificially ventilated Sprague-Dawley rats. I.t. administration of 50 nmol of 5-aminovaleric acid significantly attenuated the inhibitory cardiovascular effects of CHA but did not attenuated the inhibitory cardiovascular effects of CPCA. It is suggested that cardiovascular responses of adenosine $A_1$ receptor is modulated by $GABA_B$ receptor and adenosine $A_2$ receptor is not modulated by $GABA_B$ receptor in the spinal cord.
