We investigated the role of Shc¡BPYK2¡BGrb2-sos binding complex¡BRas and Raf proteins at the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM), the origin of sympathetic neurogenic vasomotor tone, in mevinphos (Mev) intoxication. Adult Sprague-Dawley rats anesthetized by sodium pentobarbital (45 mg/kg) and maintained by propofol (20-25 mg/kg/hr) were used.
Bilateral microinjection of Mev (10 nmol) into the RVLM elicited two distinct phases of cardiovascular responses, designated Phase I (sympathoexcitatory) and Phase II (sympathoinhibitory) Mev intoxication. Pretreatment with microinjection of a phospho-Shc-tyrosine 317, phospho-PYK2-tyrosine 402, phospho-PYK2-tyrosine 579/580 antibody (1:20), Grb2-sos complex inhibitor (SH3b-p), Ras specific inhibitors (manumycin A or FTA) or Raf specific inhibitor (GW5074) into the bilateral RVLM blunted the magnitude of the Mev-elicited sympathoexcitatory cardiovascular effect without affecting the duration. The Mev-elicited sympathoinhibitory cardiovascular effect was not influenced.
Our results suggest that signaling pathways that involve Shc, PYK2, Grb2-sos complex, Ras or Raf protein in the RVLM participate in the sympathoexcitatory phase of Mev intoxication.
