Abstract

The time course for recovery of binding of the D1 dopamine receptor antagonist radioligand [3H]SCH 23390, after administration of the irreversible antagonist N-ethoxycarbonyl-2-ethoxy-1,2-dihydroquinoline (EEDQ), was studied in the neostriatum, nucleus accumbens, tuberculum olfactorium and claustrum of the rat by means of quantitative receptor autoradiography. The results showed that the receptor degradation rate constant (k) ranged from 0.0163 to 0.0315 h−1 and that the receptor production rate (r) ranged from 8.52 to 24.96 fmol/mg protein/h. These results indicate that the D1 receptor has a considerably faster turnover than the D2 receptor, which suggests that the D1 receptor may require a dynamic regulation including also changes in receptor production and degradation rates.

    These data suggest that D1 and D5 receptors are responsible of reserpine-induced nociceptive hypersensitivity. There is evidence that turnover of D1-like receptors is 34 h in the striatum, 22 h in the nucleus accumbens, 24.5 h in the tuberculum olfactorium, and 42.6 h in the claustrum (Fuxe et al., 1987). There is no data for the spinal cord.

    Thus, in contrast to the striatum where a balance exists between neurons expressing the Gs-coupled D1 dopamine receptor and neurons expressing the Gi-coupled D2 dopamine receptor [46], the claustrum is biased toward excitatory D1R activity. The claustral dopamine receptor composition we observe is supported by qualitative published observations [25, 29–34]. Exposing mice to cocaine, we observed robustly induced, and broadly correlated expression of the IEGs Egr2 and Fos within claustral neurons.
