The purpose of this supplemental grant application is to request funds which will aid in the purchase of a scintillation .spectrometer. This instrument is greatly needed in achieving the following overall specific aims. 1) To ascertain.the importance of certain biogenic amines in helping to explain the central and;peripheral actions of nicotine. 2) To specifically determine if •there is an adrenergic mechanism involved in the central action of nicotine. 3) To specifically determine whether or not nicotine is exerting; any of its peripheral action by the release of norepinephrine directly from,adrenergic nerve termina:ls. CENTRAL ADRENERGIC ACTIONS OF NICOTINE Attempts at determining whether or not there is an adrenergic mechanism involved in the central action of nicotine are currently being:carried out in this laboratory by studying the effect of nicotine on the subcellular distribution of certain amines,in specific-brain regions where these amines are present in large }y concentrations. Studies have been made on brain areas containing O large concentrations in an attempt to prevent a masking of a O possible effect that might be taking place due to tissue which co has very little or no amine.content. Our results, to date, ~ indicate that there are certain changes in the level of these amines in various regionz of the central nervous system ~ (Westfall, et al., 1967). These studies are limited., however, j~ to measurement of changes in the• static storage levels of ~ catecholamines and other amines in the brain,. In addition,• they have not included areas such as the cerebellum which contains very little endogen.ous norepinephrine but may be very important because of the active metabolism of amines recently observed to be taking place there. Although these above mentioned studies can produce important results and can give us some ideas of.a release of amines by nicotine, they tell us nothing about the dynamic aspects of metabolism of amines in the brain. _

We are becoming.more and more aware that the storage-levels of norepinephrine, dopamine and serotonin are not static but"r'•eflect dynamic.equilibria between the rates df formation and the rates of utilization of the amines (see reviews by Glowinski and . Baldessarini, 1966; Hornykiewicz, 1966).. In other words, there is a constant amount of. norepinephrine in nerve endings because,_._ a continuous synthesis or input is balanced by a continuous • efflux onto receptors or metabolizing enzymes. The level of norepinephrine will be altered, therefore, if one of these rates h bhd N iti hhid tht asseen cange.umerousnvesga+orsave empaszea ..syn'Chesls, storage release anCt metabolism are not unrelatec! phenorn.ena and should.be considered together in interpreting ~drug action (Neff; et al., 1965; Costa,.et al., 1966). Therefore, it may be thats changes in the turnover rate of these amines are .a better measur•e of drug action than mere changes in the concentrations of the amines which could remain constant or even ' decline despite an increased rate of syntHe-sis. ., •' Recent studies by Iversen and Glowinski (1966), and Glowinski and Iversen (1966a!,b.) have shown that different turnover rates of norepinephrine occur in several diff erent regions, of the rat brain. These investigators observed that the brain regions seemed.to fall into three classes. The cerebellum appears•to have the fastest turnover of norepinephrin;e, with a half-life of about 2 hours. Although this brain region has such a fast turnover, it is quite interesting that this area has a! very low endogenous norepinephrin!e content.. This would seem to indicate that the small stores of norepinephrine are in an unusually active metabolic state. This.rapid turnover may even be correlated in some way with its ability to form adenosine 3',5'-phosphate. Along with the low endogenous norepinephrinScon~tent, the cerebellum seems to `- accumulate very little H-norepinephrins. On the other hand, the bellu r a e s to ine hrine c c l t b lit f H t m pp ar e a cumu a norep p e a es o e more -me o when compared to brain regions with slower turnover times. Following the cerebellum, the brain regions with the next fastest turnover rates seem-to be the cortex and hippocampus with ~ half-lives of about 3 hours. The regions with the slowest rates W- : of turnover of norepinephrine are the hypothalamus and the medulla j~ oblong,ata with half-lives of 4 hours. Interestingly, these same rA regions have the highest concentration of endoger~ous norepinephrine ~ and seem'to accumulate thg greatest amounts of H-norepinephrine ~ and the least amount of H-metabolites. These experiments point out the important fact that an inverse relationship between•turnover and, N endogenous concentrations of norepinephrine in various parts of the brain seem to exist. .This proba•bly indicates that areas with small endogenous levels actually h,ave a faster active metabolism of catecholamines than regions containing higher levels of norepinephrine. These observations emphasize, therefore, the importance of studying turnover rates rather than only measuring steady state levels of catecholamines in various brain regions following drug administration. . At the present time there appears to be three available methods for measuring the rate of turnover of norepinephrine in the brain. Two of these methods involve the use of labelled techniques. The first method measures catecholamine turnover by introducing

PERIPHERAIL.ADRENERGIC ACTIONS OF NICOTINE Another important use of this instrument will be its application in studies aimed;at further evaluating the role of nicotine on peripheral amine stores in adrenergic nerve terminals. As in the central nervous system, there is likewise a dynamic equilibria between the rates of formation and rates of utilization of catecholamines in peripheral sympathetic nervous structures. Therefore, it is equally • important to study the influence of nicotine on the turnover of norepinephrine in adrenergically innervated:organs such,as the heart and spleen. Similar to different brain, regions,'there are differences in the turnover rate of norepinephrine in various organs as well ' .(Burack and Draskoczy, 1964).
Page 8: kgw02a00 Log in for more options!
Previou,s publications from this laboratory have pointed out the inconsistencies and controversies that exist in the literature concerning the ability of nicotine to release norepinephrine from storage sites in adrenergically innervated organs (Westfall, 1965a,b;'Westfall, et al., 1967). One of the main reasons f or these discrepancies is probably a result of the difficulty in measuring and detecting,the'small changes in endogenous amine -that are taking place following the admin-istration of nicotine.. A more convenient method for studying cardiac nor:epine hrine in the rat has been used by Herttin and: co-workers (1961~ and by Daly, et al., in the mouse (19663. In both cases they have shown that following tracer doses of labelled norepinephrine the amines are taken up into the heart, equilibrate with,endogernous amine and most important are affected in a similar manner by agents that cause or inhibit norepinephrine release. This method;has been described as being rapid, simple, economical and quite reliable. Other methods have been described:using a perfused heart preparation (Nash, et al., 1967). It is anticipated that similar methods would be very valuabl!e and useful in studying; the influence of nicotine on norepinephrine stores. These methods appear even, more valuable when it is realized that d,rugs can-act by releasing norepinephrine from,nerve endings without arn appreciable change in the endogenous level as measured by the currently available biochemical methods. Because of the dynamic equilibria that exists between formation and utilization, any release of amine may be quickly replaced by synthesis and/or reuptake into nerve terminals. With the use of labelled amines described above, such a release can be much more easily detected. - Another potential use of the scintillation spectrometer would be to study the influence of nicotine on the uptake of norepinephrine o into adrenergic nerves. Such a ossible effect is suggested by the data.of Nedergaard, et al. (1966). These investigators have reported that nicotine can potentiate the response of vascular smooth muscle to nerve stimulation by up to 60%. The same doses of nicotine occasionally produced small increases in resting tone. Similar types of potentiation of sympathetic effects exist for a large number of drugs such as cocaine or imipramine which are well known to block uptake or reuptake of norepinephrine into adrenergic nerve termin,als (Carlsson, 1966; Trend;elenburg, 1966). Therefore, it is q:uite possible that nicotine also possesses some ability to antagonize the uptake of norepinephrine into adrenergic nerve terminals. Such a possibility certainly deserves investigation. 7.. Workinq Hypothe si s. The synthesis, storage, release and metabolism of biogenic amines are not unrelated phenomenon and should be considered:tog,ether in interpreting the action of nicotine in the central and peripheral nervous system. Changes im the turnover rate of amines such as norepinephrine will give a much clearer picture of the effect of nicotine on the dynamic metabolism,of amines in brain and,peripheral organs.
