Release of neurotransmitter is activated by the influx of calcium. Inhibition of Ca2+ channels results in less calcium influx into the terminal and presumably a reduction in transmitter release. In the neurohypophysis (NH), Ca2+ channel kinetics, and the associated Ca2+ influx, is primarily controlled by membrane voltage and can be modulated, in a voltage-dependent manner, by G-protein subunits interacting with voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCC). In this series of experiments we test whether the κ- and μ-opioid inhibition of Ca2+ currents in NH terminals is voltage-dependent. Voltage-dependent relief of G-protein inhibition of VGCC can be achieved with either a depolarizing square pre-pulse or by action potential waveforms. Both protocols were tested in the presence and absence of opioid agonists targeting the κ- and μ-receptors in neurohypophysial terminals. The κ-opioid VGCC inhibition is relieved by such pre-pulses, suggesting that this receptor is involved in a voltage-dependent membrane delimited pathway. In contrast, μ-opioid inhibition of VGCC is not relieved by such pre-pulses, indicating a voltage-independent diffusible second-messenger signaling pathway. Furthermore, relief of κ-opioid inhibition during a physiological action potential burst stimulation indicates the possibility of activity-dependent modulation in vivo. Differences in the facilitation of Ca2+ channels due to specific G-protein modulation during a burst of action potentials may contribute to the fine-tuning of Ca2+-dependent neuropeptide release in other CNS terminals, as well.
