Orexin-A, -B play a crucial role in arousal and feeding by activating two G-protein-coupled receptors: orexin receptor 1 (OX1R) and orexin receptor 2 (OX2R). Orexins, along with orexin receptors, are expressed in retinal neurons, and they have been shown to differentially modulate excitatory AMPA receptors of amacrine and ganglion cells in the inner retina. In this work we report that orexin-B modulates the activity of rod bipolar cells (RBCs) located in the outer retina of rat. Intravitreal injection of orexin-B increased the amplitude of the scotopic electroretinographic b-wave, a reflection of RBC activity, recorded in vivo. Patch clamp recordings in rat retinal slices showed that orexin-B did not change glutamatergic excitatory component of the RBC response driven by photoreceptors. Effects of orexin-B on GABA receptor-mediated synaptic transmission of RBCs were then examined. In retinal slice preparations orexin-B suppressed GABA receptor-mediated inhibitory postsynaptic currents of RBCs in the inner plexiform layer. Furthermore, using whole-cell recordings in isolated RBCs it was shown that orexin-B suppressed GABA(C) receptor-, but not GABA(A) receptor-, mediated currents of the RBCs, an effect that was blocked by OX1R and OX2R antagonists. The orexin-B-induced inhibition of GABA(C) currents was likely mediated by a G(i/o)/PC-PLOCa2+-independent PKC signaling pathway, as such inhibition was absent when each step of the above-pathway was blocked with GDP-beta-S/pertussis toxin (for G(i/o)), D609 (for PLC), bisindolylmaleimide IV (for PKC)/rottlerin (for PKC delta), respectively. The orexin-B-induced potentiation of RBC activity may improve visual acuity and contrast sensitivity of the animal during the dark period (wake phase). (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
