N2 - To clarify the role of muscarinic acetylcholinc receptors in the hypoxia/ hypoglycemia (ischemia)-induced functional deficit in hippocampal neurons, we examined the effect of cholinergic drugs on ischemia-induced impairments of glucose uptake and CA1 field potentials in hippocampus slices. Muscarinic receptors were subdivided into M1 (high affinity for pirenzepine) and M1 (low affinity for pirenzcpine) subtypes. The M1 receptor subtype is coupled to an increase in phosphoinositide hydrolysis and the M2 receptor subtype is associated with inhibition of adenylate cyclase. The greater potency of carbachol in stimulating phosphoinositide hydrolysis resulted in exacerbated ischemia-induced deficits. Treatment with the muscarinic receptor antagonists scopolamine and pircnzepine (M1 receptor-selective antagonist) had a strong dose-dependent protective effect against ischemia-induced deficits. Oxotremorine and McN-A-343, weak stimulators of phosphoinositide hydrolysis and strong inhibitors of adenylate cyclase, had a weak neuroprotective action against ischemia-induced deficits. These results suggest that stimulation of M1 musarinic receptors coupled with an increase in phosphoinositide hydrolysis may play a facilatory role in ischemia-induced deficits. Stimulation of M2 muscarinic receptors may play an inhibitory role in ischemia-induced neuronal deficits.
