Acute action of rotenone on excitability of catecholaminergic neurons in rostral ventrolateral medulla

Rotenone induces KATP channel opening in PC12 cells in association with the expression of tyrosine hydroxylase.

TLDR
The data indicate that the energy states caused by various doses of rotenone could significantly influence the opening states of KATP channels, and long-term energy stress may raise the opening rate and opening sensitivity of this channel.

The inhibitory effects of levo‐tetrahydropalmatine on rat Kv1.5 channels expressed in HEK293 cells

The role of KATP channel blockade and activation in the protection against neurodegeneration in the rotenone model of Parkinson's disease.

K(ATP) channel block prevents proteasome inhibitor-induced apoptosis in differentiated PC12 cells.

Nicotinic Modulation of GABAA Receptor Function in Single Dopaminergic Neurons Freshly-Dissociated from Rat Substantia Nigra Pars Compacta

TLDR
The results suggest that nicotine directly boosts the function of postsynaptic GABAA receptors, which in turn results in hyperpolarization and reduced excitability of putative SNc DAergic neurons through novel α4β2-nAChR-dependent pathways and/or additional post synaptic mechanisms.

Levo-tetrahydropalmatine inhibits α4β2 nicotinic receptor response to nicotine in cultured SH-EP1 cells.

TLDR
It is demonstrated that l-THP blocks neuronal α4β2-nAChR function, which may underlie its inhibition on nicotine addiction, which is explored as anti-addiction treatments for drug abuse including nicotine.

Demethylenetetrahydroberberine protects dopaminergic neurons in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease.

A preclinical assessment of d.l-govadine as a potential antipsychotic and cognitive enhancer.

TLDR
Data provide the first evidence that d.l-Gov may have antipsychotic properties in conjunction with pro-cognitive effects, lending further support to the hypothesis that THPBs are a class of compounds which merit serious consideration as novel treatments for schizophrenia.

Iptakalim Modulates ATP-Sensitive K+ Channels in Dopamine Neurons from Rat Substantia Nigra Pars Compacta

TLDR
iptakalim is not a KATP channel opener in rat SNc DA neurons; instead, iptakAlim is a pm-KatP channel closer at high concentrations, which stimulates further pharmacological investigation and the development of possible therapeutic applications.

Memantine Inhibits ATP-Dependent K+ Conductances in Dopamine Neurons of the Rat Substantia Nigra Pars Compacta

TLDR
Results highlight KATP channels as possible relevant targets of Memantine effects in the brain and suggest another mechanism of action underlying the protective role of memantine in Parkinson's disease.

Tetrahydroberberine inhibits acetylcholine-induced K+ current in acutely dissociated rat hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons

K-ATP channels promote the differential degeneration of dopaminergic midbrain neurons

TLDR
It is shown that in response to parkinsonism-inducing toxins, electrophysiological activity of SN neurons, but not VTA DA neurons, is lost owing to activation of K-ATP channels.

Electrophysiological, Pharmacological, and Molecular Evidence for α7-Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors in Rat Midbrain Dopamine Neurons

TLDR
Electrophysiological, pharmacological, and molecular evidence indicates that nAChR α7 subunits and functional α7-nAChRs are expressed somatodendritically by midbrain DA neurons, where they may play important physiological roles and contribute to nicotine reinforcement and dependence.

TLDR
The results suggest that DA-induced outward current is carried by K+ in single hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neuron.

Rescue of Mesencephalic Dopaminergic Neurons in Culture by Low-Level Stimulation of Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels

TLDR
It is shown that DA cell loss can be prevented efficiently by low concentrations of the Na+ channel agonist veratridine, and this results support the idea that mesencephalic DA neurons depend primarily on excitatory input for their survival during development.

Two cell types in rat substantia nigra zona compacta distinguished by membrane properties and the actions of dopamine and opioids

TLDR
The properties of these 2 cell types broadly correspond with those described by electrophysiological studies in vivo, in which case the majority, or principal, cells are believed to be dopaminergic.
