Neurons in the subfornical organ (SFO) sense both neurotransmitters and circulating humoral factors such as angiotensin II (AII) and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), and regulate multiple physiological functions including drinking behavior. We recently reported that AII at nanomolar concentrations induced a persistent [Ca2+]iincrease in acutely dissociated SFO neurons and that this effect of AII was reversibly inhibited by GABA. In the present study, we studied the inhibitory mechanism of GABA using Ca2+imaging and patch-clamp electrophysiology. The AII-induced persistent [Ca2+]iincrease was inhibited by GABA in more than 90% of AII-responsive neurons and by other two SFO inhibitory ligands, ANP and galanin, in about 60 and 30% of neurons respectively. The inhibition by GABA was mimicked by the GABAAand GABABreceptor agonists muscimol and baclofen. The involvement of both GABA receptor subtypes was confirmed by reversal of the GABA-mediated inhibition only when the GABAAand GABABreceptors antagonists bicuculline methiodide and CGP55845 were both present. The GABABagonist baclofen rapidly and reversibly inhibited voltage-gated Ca2+channel (VGCC) currents recorded in response to depolarizing pulses in voltage-clamp electrophysiology using Ba2+as a charge carrier (IBa). Baclofen inhibition of IBawas antagonized by CGP55845, confirming GABABreceptor involvement; was reduced by N-ethylmaleimide, suggesting downstream Gi-mediated actions; and was partially removed by a large prepulse, indicating voltage-dependency. The magnitude of IBainhibition by baclofen was reduced by the application of selective blockers for N-, P/Q-, and L-type VGCCs (ω-conotoxin GVIA, ω-agatoxin IVA, and nifedipine respectively). Overall, our study indicates that GABA inhibition of the AII-induced [Ca2+]iincrease is mediated by both GABAAand GABABreceptors, and that GABABreceptors associated with Gi proteins suppress Ca2+entry through VGCCs in SFO neurons.
