We previously reported that intracerebroventricularly (i.c.v.) administered (±)-epibatidine (a potent agonist of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors) (1, 5 and 10nmol/animal) dose-dependently elevated plasma levels of noradrenaline and adrenaline and that this response was reduced by i.c.v. administered indomethacin (cyclooxygenase inhibitor) and abolished by bilateral adrenalectomy, indicating the involvement of brain arachidonic acid, as a substrate of cyclooxygenase, in this alkaloid-induced secretion of both catecholamines from the adrenal medulla in rats. Arachidonic acid is mainly released by the action of phospholipase A2, but is also released by a phospholipase C-, diacylglycerol lipase- and monoacylglycerol lipase-mediated pathway. In the present study, (±)-epibatidine (5nmol/animal, i.c.v.)-induced elevation of plasma catecholamines was not influenced by pretreatment with mepacrine (phospholipase A2inhibitor) (1.1 and 2.2μmol/animal, i.c.v.), but was effectively reduced by pretreatment with U-73122 (1-[6-[[(17β)-3-methoxyestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-yl]amino]hexyl]-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione) (phospholipase C inhibitor) (10 and 30nmol/animal, i.c.v.), RHC-80267 [1,6-bis(cyclohexyloximinocarbonylamino)hexane] (diacylglycerol lipase inhibitor) (1.3 and 2.6μmol/animal, i.c.v.), MAFP (methyl arachidonoyl fluorophosphonate) (monoacylglycerol lipase inhibitor) (0.7 and 1.4μmol/animal, i.c.v.) or JZL184 [4-nitrophenyl 4-(dibenzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl(hydroxy)methyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate] (selective monoacylglycerol lipase inhibitor) (0.7 and 1.4μmol/animal, i.c.v.). Immunohistochemical studies demonstrated that (±)-epibatidine (10nmol/animal, i.c.v.) activates spinally projecting neurons expressing monoacylglycerol lipase in the rat hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus, a control center of central sympatho-adrenomedullary outflow. Taken together, the brain phospholipase C-, diacylglycerol lipase- and monoacylglycerol lipase-mediated pathway seems to be involved in the centrally administered (±)-epibatidine-induced activation of central adrenomedullary outflow in rats.
