title: Effects of 5-(4-piperidyl) isoxazol-3-ol (4-PIOL), a GABA(A) receptor partial agonist, on recombinant human GABA(A) receptors.
abstract: gamma-Aminobutyric acidA (GABA(A)) gated chloride ion channels were expressed from human recombinant cDNA using the baculovirus/Sf-9 insect cell expression system. The electrophysiological effects in whole-cell currents of 5-(4-piperidyl) isoxazol-3-ol (4-PIOL), a GABA(A) receptor partial agonist, were investigated on GABA(A) receptor complexes of alpha1beta2gamma2S subunits as well as a slightly modified construct of alpha1(valine 121)beta2gamma2S subunits. Here we report that (1)4-PIOL induces an inward whole-cell current in a concentration-dependent manner in both alpha1(val 121)beta2gamma2S and alpha1(ile 121)beta2gamma2S receptor subunit combinations. (2) The 4-PIOL induced whole-cell currents were more pronounced in alpha1(val 121)beta2gamma2S than in alpha1(ile 121)beta2gamma2S receptor subunit combinations. (3) 4-PIOL inhibited GABA-induced responses on alpha1(ile 121)beta2gamma2S and alpha1(val 121)beta2gamma2S receptor combinations with similar potency.
