| Research Abstract |
1.Expression system
We constructed a Herpes Simplex viral vector including Lacz gene as a reporter and found that efficiency of trasfection is very high and cell damages are minimal when PC12 cells and rat cultured cortical neurons were transfected with this vector. We also produced an expression system of NMDA type glutamate receptor subunits in rat cortical neurons using Herpes Simplex viral vector
2.Electrophysiological study
We studied effects of volatile anesthetics on lipid bilayrs, and found that volatile anesthetics increase permeability of lipid bilayrs to ions and that magnitudes of these effects depend on anesthetics and lipid composition but are generally small.
We reported that intravenous anesthetics, thiopental, propofol and ketamine, all inhibited the neuronal nicotinic receptor-mediated current strongly but did not affect P2x purinergic responses in PC12 cells. These results indicate that P2x purine receptors lack high affinity sites for anesthetics unlike neuronal nicotinic receptors, reflecting lack of structural homology.
We have studied effects of barbiturates on native AMPA receptors using rat cultured cortical neurons. We found that both depressant and convulsant isomers of a barbiturate suppress the kainate-induced current despite convulsant isomer lacks the anesthetic effect, suggesting that the inhibition of AMPA receptors contributes little to the anesthetic action of barbiturates.
