Stimulation of group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR 1 and 5) activates G-protein coupled-phospholipase C (PLC) to release 1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG) and arachidonic acid (ArAc). To elucidate the role of group I mGluR, we tested the effects of (S)-alpha-methyl-4-carboxy-phenylglycine (MCPG, mGluR 1 and 5 antagonist), 1-aminoindan-1,5-dicarboxylic acid (AIDA, mGluR la specific antagonist) and 2-methyl-6-(phenylethynyl) pyridine (MPEP, mGluR 5 antagonist) on ArAc release and neuronal survival after transient forebrain ischemia in gerbils. Ischemia resulted in (a) significant release of ArAc at 1-day reperfusion and (b) significant neuronal death in the hippocampal CA, subfield after g-day reperfusion. MCPG and MPEP decreased ArAc release and also significantly increased neuronal survival. AIDA was less effective in decreasing ArAc release and had no effect on neuronal death. These results suggest that activation of mGluR 5 may be an important pathway in ArAc release and neuronal death after transient ischemia. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
