title: Mechanisms underlying excitatory effects of group I metabotropic glutamate receptors via inhibition of 2P domain K+ channels.
abstract: Group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are implicated in diverse processes such as learning, memory, epilepsy, pain and neuronal death. By inhibiting background K(+) channels, group I mGluRs mediate slow and long-lasting excitation. The main neuronal representatives of this K(+) channel family (K(2P) or KCNK) are TASK and TREK. Here, we show that in cerebellar granule cells and in heterologous expression systems, activation of group I mGluRs inhibits TASK and TREK channels. D-myo-inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate and phosphatidyl-4,5-inositol-biphosphate depletion are involved in TASK channel inhibition, whereas diacylglycerols and phosphatidic acids directly inhibit TREK channels. Mechanisms described here with group I mGluRs will also probably stand for many other receptors of hormones and neurotransmitters.
