Activation of dopamine D1 receptors is thought to stimulate release of striatal acetylcholine (ACh) indirectly, possibly through local release of substance P which, in turn, may enhance release of ACh. To test this hypothesis, in vivo microdialysis was used to assess the effect of neurokinin1 (NK1) receptor blockade on D1 agonist-induced increases in ACh release in the striatum of awake, freely moving rats with and without a unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine-induced lesion of the nigrostriatal pathway. Local perfusion with the D1 agonist (+-)-1- phenyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-(1H)-3- benzazepine-7,8-diol hydrochloride (SKF 38393; 1-25 microM for 20 min) increased striatal ACh release in both intact rats and rats with a 6-hydroxydopamine-induced lesion, although the increase was greater in magnitude in rats with a lesion. Local application of the NK1 antagonist, (2S,3S)-cis-2-(diphenylmethyl)- N- [(methoxyphenyl)methyl]-1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]octan-3-amine (CP-96,345; 10 and 25 microM), but not its less active enantiomer (2R,3R)-cis-2- (diphenylmethyl)-N-[(2-methoxyphenyl)methyl]-1- azabicyclo[2.2.2]octan- 3-amine (CP-96,344; 10 and 25 microM), decreased the elevation in ACh induced by SKF 38393 in both intact rats and rats treated with 6- hydroxydopamine. Systemic administration of the NK1 antagonist 17-beta- hydroxy-17-a-androstanol[3.2- b]pyrimidol[1,2-a]benzimidazole hydrochloride (WIN 51,708; 20 mg/kg i.p.) also reduced the increase in ACh release induced by local perfusion of SKF 38393.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
