The Relationship

We previously reported that cholinergic current responses mediated via nicotinic acetylcholine (ACh) receptors (nAChRs) in the prepositus hypoglossi nucleus (PHN), which participates in gaze control, can be classified into distinct types based on different kinetics and are mainly composed of α7- and/or non-α7-subtypes: fast (F)-, slow (S)-, and fast and slow (FS)-type currents. In this study, to clarify how each current type is related to neuronal activities, we investigated the relationship between the current types and the membrane properties and the firing responses that were induced by each current type. The proportion of the current types differed in neurons that exhibited different afterhyperpolarization (AHP) profiles and firing patterns, suggesting that PHN neurons show a preference for specific current types dependent on the membrane properties. In response to ACh, F-type neurons showed either one action potential (AP) or multiple APs with a short firing duration, and S-type neurons showed multiple APs with a long firing duration. The firing frequency of F-type neurons was significantly higher than that of S-type and FS-type neurons. An α7-subtype-specific antagonist abolished the firing responses of F-type neurons and reduced the responses of FS-type neurons but had little effect on the responses of S-type neurons, which were reduced by a non-α7-subtype-specific antagonist. These results suggest that the different properties of the current types and the distinct expression of the nAChR subtypes in PHN neurons with different membrane properties produce unique firing responses via the activation of nAChRs. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Prepositus hypoglossi nucleus (PHN) neurons show distinct nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR)-mediated current responses. The proportion of the current types differed in the neurons that exhibited different afterhyperpolarization profiles and firing patterns. The nAChR-mediated currents with different kinetics induced firing responses of the neurons that were distinct in the firing frequency and duration. These results suggest that the different properties of the current types in PHN neurons with different membrane properties produce unique firing responses via the activation of nAChRs.

The functional expression of the cockroach Pameα7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit has been previously studied, and was found to be able to form a homomeric receptor when expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes. In this study, we found that the neonicotinoid insecticide imidacloprid is unable to activate the cockroach Pameα7 receptor, although thiacloprid induces low inward currents, suggesting that it is a partial agonist. In addition, the co-application or 5 min pretreatment with 10 µM imidacloprid increased nicotine current amplitudes, while the co-application or 5 min pretreatment with 10 µM thiacloprid decreased nicotine-evoked current amplitudes by 54% and 28%, respectively. This suggesting that these two representatives of neonicotinoid insecticides bind differently to the cockroach Pameα7 receptor. Interestingly, the docking models demonstrate that the orientation and interactions of the two insecticides in the cockroach Pameα7 nAChR binding pocket are very similar. Electrophysiological results have provided evidence to suggest that imidacloprid and thiacloprid could act as modulators of the cockroach Pameα7 receptors.
