PG - 59-64 LID - S0304-3940(17)30820-0 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.neulet.2017.10.002 [doi] AB - Arginine vasopressin (AVP) plays an important role in thermoregulation and antipyresis. We have demonstrated that AVP could change the spontaneous activity of thermosensitive and temperature insensitive neurons in the preoptic area. However, whether AVP influences the effects of prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) on the spontaneous activity of neurons in the medial preoptic area (MPO) remains unclear. Our experiment showed that PGE(2) decreased the spontaneous activity of warm-sensitive neurons, and increased that of low-slope temperature-insensitive neurons in the MPO. AVP attenuated the inhibitory effect of PGE(2) on warm-sensitive neurons, and reversed the excitatory effect of PGE(2) on low-slope temperature-insensitive neurons, demonstrating that AVP antagonized the effects of PGE(2) on the spontaneous activity of these neurons. The effect of AVP was suppressed by an AVP V(1a) receptor antagonist, suggesting that V(1a) receptor mediated the action of AVP. We also demonstrated that AVP attenuated the PGE(2)-induced decrease in the prepotential's rate of rise in warm-sensitive neurons and the PGE(2)-induced increase in that in low-slope temperature-insensitive neurons through the V(1a) receptor. Together, these data indicated that AVP antagonized the PGE(2)-induced change in the spontaneous activity of warm-sensitive and low-slope temperature-insensitive neurons in the MPO partly by reducing the PGE(2)-induced change in the prepotential of these neurons in a V(1a) receptor-dependent manner.
