- W2980389078 abstract "Glaucoma is a multifactorial disease in which retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) undergo excitotoxic damage, leading to their degeneration. The α2-adrenoceptor (α2-AR) agonist brimonidine exerts a neuroprotective effect by regulating postsynaptic excitatory N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor activity in RGCs. However, researchers have not clearly determined whether or how brimonidine regulates inhibitory synaptic transmission in rat models of chronic glaucoma. Whole-cell voltage-clamp and current-clamp recordings were performed in ON- and OFF-type RGCs in retinal slices. Brimonidine directly and acutely enhanced γ-aminobutyric acidergic (GABAergic) transmission mediated by ionotropic GABAA receptors in ON- and OFF-type RGCs in rat retinal slices; this effect occurred at the synaptic terminals and was independent of action potentials and multi-synaptic connections. The highly selective α2-AR antagonist yohimbine blocked the effects of brimonidine. Regarding the postsynaptic GABA receptor sensitivity, brimonidine also increased the amplitude of the GABA-induced current. Additionally, compared to RGCs from the control group, the frequencies and amplitudes of spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic currents (sEPSCs) and miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents (mEPSCs) did not change after brimonidine gravity perfusion. Brimonidine significantly decreased the spontaneous firing frequency of rat RGCs with intact synaptic inputs and decreased the resting membrane potential of RGCs, changes that were blocked by the highly selective GABAA receptor antagonist SR95531. SR95531 alone increased spontaneous action potentials and the resting membrane potential. Based on these findings, an α2-AR agonist facilitated the frequency of the GABAergic inhibitory postsynaptic currents (IPSCs), directly increased the amplitude of the postsynaptic GABA-induced current (GABA receptor reactivity/sensitivity), suppressed the firing frequency of spontaneous action in RGCs with intact synaptic inputs and decreased the resting membrane potential of RGCs, thus deactivating RGCs from the neural network level and reducing the excitotoxic damage occurring during the pathological process of chronic glaucoma." @default.
