We have previously shown that activation of P2X purinoceptors in the subpostremal nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) produces a rapid bradycardia and hypotension. This bradycardia could occur via sympathetic withdrawal, parasympathetic activation, or a combination of both mechanisms. Thus we investigated the relative roles of parasympathetic activation and sympathetic withdrawal in mediating this bradycardia in chloralose-urethane anesthetized male Sprague-Dawley rats. Microinjections of the selective P2X purinoceptor agonist α,β-methylene ATP (25 pmol/50 nl and 100 pmol/50 nl) were made into the subpostremal NTS in control animals, after atenolol (2 mg/kg iv), a β1-selective antagonist, and after atropine methyl bromide (2 mg/kg iv), a muscarinic receptor antagonist. The bradycardia observed with activation of P2X receptors at the low dose of the agonist is mediated almost entirely by sympathetic withdrawal. After β1-adrenergic blockade, the bradycardia was reduced to just −5.1 ± 0.5 versus −28.8 ± 5.1 beats/min in intact animals. Muscarinic blockade did not produce any significant change in the bradycardic response at the low dose. At the high dose, both β1-adrenergic blockade and muscarinic blockade attenuated the bradycardia similarly, −37.4 ± 6.4 and −40.6 ± 3.7 beats/min, respectively, compared with −88.0 ± 11 beats/min in control animals. Double blockade of both β1-adrenergic and muscarinic receptors virtually abolished the response (−2.5 ± 0.8 beats/min). We conclude that the relative contributions of parasympathetic activation and sympathetic withdrawal are dependent on the extent of P2X receptor activation.
