- Endogenous neurosteroids have rapid actions on ion channels, particularly GABA(A) receptors, which are potentiated by nanomolar concentrations of 3alpha-hydroxypregnane neurosteroids. Previous evidence suggests that 3beta-hydroxypregnane steroids may competitively antagonize potentiation induced by their 3alpha diastereomers. Because of the potential importance of antagonists as experimental and clinical tools, we characterized the functional effect of 3beta-hydroxysteroids. Although 3beta-hydroxysteroids reduced the potentiation induced by 3alpha-hydroxysteroids, 3beta-hydroxysteroids acted noncompetitively with respect to potentiating steroids and inhibited the largest degrees of potentiation most effectively. Potentiation by high concentrations of barbiturates was also reduced by 3beta-hydroxysteroids. 3beta-Hydroxysteroids are also direct, noncompetitive GABA(A) receptor antagonists. 3beta-Hydroxysteroids coapplied with GABA significantly inhibited responses to > or =15 microm GABA. The profile of block was similar to that exhibited by sulfated steroids, known blockers of GABA(A) receptors. This direct, noncompetitive effect of 3beta-hydroxysteroids was sufficient to account for the apparent antagonism of potentiating steroids. Mutated receptors exhibiting decreased sensitivity to sulfated steroid block were insensitive to both the direct effects of 3beta-hydroxysteroids on GABA(A) responses and the reduction of potentiating steroid effects. At concentrations that had little effect on GABAergic synaptic currents, 3beta-hydroxysteroids and low concentrations of sulfated steroids significantly reversed the potentiation of synaptic currents induced by 3alpha-hydroxysteroids. We conclude that 3beta-hydroxypregnane steroids are not direct antagonists of potentiating steroids but rather are noncompetitive, likely state-dependent, blockers of GABA(A) receptors. Nevertheless, these steroids may be useful functional blockers of potentiating steroids when used at concentrations that do not affect baseline neurotransmission.
