Nerve growth factor (NGF) acts through the receptor tyrosine kinase trkA to serve as a trophic factor for cholinergic neurons
in the medial septal nucleus and vertical limb of the diagonal band. We have previously shown that the neuronal isoform of
nitric oxide synthase (NOS) is selectively expressed in a large fraction of trkA-expressing cholinergic neurons in these brain
regions in the adult rat, and that NGF induces the expression of neuronal-NOS in these cells. Herein, we show that: 1) neuronal-NOS
is also localized to these neurons in the developing septum; 2) the expression of neuronal-NOS is regulated in the developing
medial septal nucleus and vertical limb of the diagonal band; 3) neuronal-NOS regulation parallels that for other markers
of basal forebrain cholinergic neuron differentiation, such as cholineacetyltransferase; and 4) NGF infusion in the postnatal
period induces robust increases in neuronal-NOS mRNA and in NOS activity in the basal forebrain. Taken together with earlier
findings, our results suggest that neuronal-NOS has a role in the differentiation and mature function of septal cholinergic
neurons. Through enhancing neuronal-NOS synthesis, endogenous NGF is likely to regulate NO functions in vivo.

In sections of rat forebrain, perikarya labeled radioautographically with125I-NGF resembled cholinesterase-positive neurons in their distribution within striatum and basal forebrain. Neurons with NGF receptors were also visualized in radioautographs prepared from the basal forebrain of a cerebrus monkey. Present techniques fail to detect axons projecting from basal forebrain to hippocampus or cortex which have been shown to take up NGF selectively in retrograde transport studies. In studies with membrane-enriched preparations from rat, high-affinity binding of125I-NGF (half maximal saturation in the 15–30 pM range) was detected in basal forebrain and striatum; lower levels of high-affinity binding were seen in hippocampus and neocortex. The binding and molecular properties of these receptors are similar to those described in other NGF-responsive tissues. These observations are further evidence supporting a biological role for NGF on some forebrain cholinergic neurons in adult rat.Special issue dedicated to Dr. E. M. Shooter and Dr. S. Varon. 相似文献

Both nerve growth factor (NGF) and pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) have neurotrophic effects on basal forebrain cholinergic neurons. They promote differentiation, maturation, and survival of these cholinergic neurons in vivo and in vitro. Here we report on the cooperative effects of NGF and PACAP on postnatal, but not embryonic, cholinergic neurons cultured from rat basal forebrain. Combined treatment with NGF, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin-4 (NT-4), and PACAP induced an additive increase in choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) activity. There were no cooperative effects on the number of cholinergic neurons, suggesting that ChAT mRNA expression had been induced in each cholinergic neuron. Further analysis revealed that NGF and PACAP led to complementary induction of different ChAT mRNA species, thus enhancing total ChAT mRNA expression. These results explain the cooperative neurotrophic action of NGF and PACAP on postnatal cholinergic neurons. 相似文献

The secretion and cellular localization of the molecular forms of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) were studied in primary cultures of rat sympathetic neurons. When cultured under conditions favoring a noradrenergic phenotype, these neurons synthesized and secreted large quantities of the tetrameric G4, and the dodecameric A12 forms, and minor amounts of the G1 and G2 forms. When these neurons adopted the cholinergic phenotype, i.e., in the presence of muscle-conditioned medium, the development of the cellular A12 form was completely inhibited. These neurons secreted only globular, mainly G4, AChE. Both cellular and secreted A12 AChE in adrenergic cultures aggregated at an ionic strength similar to that of the culture medium, raising the hypothesis that this form was associated with a polyanionic component of basal lamina. In noradrenergic neurons, 60-80% of the catalytic sites were exposed at the cell surface. In particular, 80% of G4 form, but only 60% of the A12 form, was external, demonstrating for the A12 form a sizeable intracellular pool. The hydrophobic character of the molecular forms was studied in relation to their cellular localization. As in muscle cells, most of the G4 form was membrane-bound. Whereas 76% of the cell surface A12 form was solubilized in the aqueous phase by high salt concentrations, only 50% of the intracellular A12 form was solubilized under these conditions. The rest of intracellular A12 could be solubilized by detergents and was thus either membrane-bound or entrapped in vesicles originating from, e.g., the Golgi apparatus. 相似文献

Nitric oxide (NO) is known to be a freely diffusible gaseous neurotransmitter that is not requiring synaptic connection to exert its effects. Nitric oxide synthase (NOS), the enzyme responsible for NO synthesis can be visualised by nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-diaphorase (NADPH-d) histochemistry. Other neurotransmitter is a classical neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh), regulated by enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) that hydrolyses the acetylcholine after its releasing. This work is presenting results of histochemical study of the NADPH-d and AChE expression (nitrergic and cholinergic neurons) in the spinal cord (SC) during various periods in its development. Specimens from Wistar rat pups in the age ranging from 1st to 21st postnatal days (P1-P21) have been compared with those of adult rats (P90). Transverse sections of the SC were evaluated by light microscope. In adults, the NADPH-d positivity was detectable in the neurons of superficial and deep layers of the dorsal horn, pericentral area and in the area of preganglionic autonomic nuclei. AChE positive structures were seen in the same locations as previous ones with the exception of two locations: in superficial layers of the dorsal horn AChE staining was absent, while in the ventral horn the groups of AChE positive motoneurons were found. At the perinatal period both NADPH-d and AChE positive neurons were stained from slight to moderate intensity only. During later developmental periods the staining gradually increased and achieved adult level of intensity on the day P21. Our results confirmed the presence of nitrergic and cholinergic neurons in investigated areas of the SC and indicated their fully functioning of NADPH-d and AChE positive structures in SC from the third postnatal week. 相似文献

A modified method for improved preservation and optical resolution of acetylcholinesterase (AChE)-containing structures in adult rat brain is described. Optimal tissue preparation included fixation in paraformaldehyde 4%, glutaraldehyde 0.1%, and sucrose 7% in 0.1 M Sorensen's phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, rinsing in buffer 50 mM with respect to NLL, Q and 2% with respect to sucrose, acetone dehydration, vacuum infiltration widi LKB Historesin, and polymerization at 4 C, overnight incubation of 10 μm sections at 37 C in the AChE histochemical reaction mixture and silver intensification according to Hedreen et al. Demonstration of AChE enzyme activity in the cholinergic projection from the rat basal forebrain to the ipsilateral hippocampus exemplifies the usefulness of the technique. The method provides an excellent demonstration of AChE-positive axonal processes and enables the pharmacohis-tochemical visualization of cholinergic neurons. This procedure offers a convenient method for analysis of cholinergic neurons that avoids potential artifacts inherent in other AChE histochemical procedures. 相似文献

The early stages of Alzheimer's disease are characterized by cholinergic deficits and the preservation of cholinergic function through the use of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors is the basis for current treatments of the disease. Understanding the causes for the loss of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons in neurodegeneration is therefore a key to developing new therapeutics. In this study, we review novel aspects of cholinesterase membrane localization in brain and propose mechanisms for its lipid domain targeting, secretion and protein-protein interactions. In erythrocytes, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is localized to lipid rafts through a GPI anchor. However, the main splice form of AChE in brain lacks a transmembrane peptide anchor region and is bound to the 'proline-rich membrane anchor', PRiMA, in lipid rafts. Furthermore, AChE is secreted ('shed') from membranes and this shedding is stimulated by cholinergic agonists. Immunocytochemical studies on rat brain have shown that membrane-associated PRiMA immunofluorescence is located selectively at cholinergic neurons of the basal forebrain and striatum. A strong association of AChE with the membrane via PRiMA seems therefore to be a specific requirement of forebrain cholinergic neurons. α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are also associated with lipid rafts where they undergo rapid internalisation on stimulation. We are currently probing the mechanism(s) of AChE shedding, and whether this process and its apparent association with α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and metabolism of the Alzheimer's amyloid precursor protein is determined by its association with lipid raft domains either in normal or pathological situations. 相似文献

Down's syndrome (DS) individuals develop neuropathological features similar to Alzheimer's disease (AD), including degeneration of cholinergic basal forebrain (CBF) neurons. In AD a reduction in CBF/trkA-containing neurons has been suggested to trigger a hyperexpression of galaninergic fibers within the nucleus basalis subfield of the basal forebrain. The present study examined the interrelationship between reductions in CBF/trkA-containing neurons and the overexpression of galaninergic fibers within the nucleus basalis in DS. Within the nucleus basalis stereologic evaluation revealed a 46% reduction in the number of trkA-immunopositive neurons, whereas optical density measurements displayed a nonsignificant 18% reduction in neuronal trkA immunoreactivity in DS as compared with age-matched controls. Western blot analysis also showed a significant reduction in cortical trkA protein levels in DS. A semiquantitative examination of galaninergic fibers in the nucleus basalis revealed only a modest hypertrophy of galaninergic fibers within the nucleus basalis in DS. The present findings indicate a significant reduction in trkA within the nucleus basalis and cortex with only a moderate hypertrophy of galaninergic fibers in DS. These observations suggest that DS may not be an exact genetic model for investigation of changes in the AD basal forebrain. 相似文献

To study early events in the central nervous system (CNS) cholinergic development, cells from rat basal forebrain tissue were placed in culture at an age when neurogenesis in vivo is still active [embryonic day (E) 15]. The rapid mortality of these cells in defined medium, with 50% mortality after 5-10 h, was blocked completely by soluble proteins from the olfactory bulb (a basal forebrain target), extending earlier observations (Lambert, Megerian, Garden, and Klein, 1988). Treated cultures were capable of incorporating thymidine into DNA, and most cells incorporating 3H-thymidine (greater than 90%) also stained positive for neurofilament, confirming neuronal proliferation in the supplemented cultures. A small percentage of 3H-thymidine labelled cells were glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) positive, but growth factors that support astroglial proliferation [epidermal growth factor (EGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1)] were not sufficient for neuronal support. After 5 culture days with supplemented medium, almost 50% of the cells showed choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) immunofluorescence. The cholinergic neurons typically formed clusters separate from noncholinergic cells. These mature cultures did not develop if young cultures were treated with aphidicolin to block DNA synthesis. The data show that cultures of very young rat basal forebrain cells can be neurogenic, giving rise to abundant cholinergic neurons, and that early cell proliferation is essential for long-term culture survival. 相似文献

1. A high oxygen atmosphere induced apoptosis in cultured neuronal cells including PC12 cells and rat embryonic cortical, hippocampal, and basal forebrain neurons associated with DNA fragmentation and nuclear condensation.2. The sensitivity of CNS neurons to a high-oxygen atmosphere was the following order; cortex > basal forebrain > hippocampus.3. Cycloheximide and actinomycin-D inhibited the apoptosis, indicating that it depends on new macromolecular synthesis. In contrast, cultured postnatal CNS neurons were resistant to oxidative stress.4. Neurotrophic factors such as nerve growth factor (NGF), fibroblast growth factor (FGF), and epidermal growth factor (EGF) blocked the apoptosis induced by a high-oxygen atmosphere. 相似文献

Summary By employing biochemical assay and histochemical enzyme techniques the effect of preganglionic sympathectomy on the cholinesterase (ChE) activity in the superior cervical ganglia of rats and hamsters was investigated. Biochemical assays indicate that the ChE activity in the superior cervical ganglia of adult rats and hamsters is 57.19 and 28.63 respectively (expressed in u moles acetylcholine hydrolyzed per min per g of tissue); two weeks after preganglionic denervation, about 50% and 60% of ChE activity are lost respectively. Histochemical enzyme examination reveals that in the rat superior cervical ganglion, the majority of the neurons are adrenergic with weak to moderate acetylcholinesterase (AChE) reaction and the minority of the neurons are cholinergic with strong AChE activity, while only one type of adrenergic neurons exhibits a weak AChE activity in the hamster superior cervical ganglion. The AChE activity is localized in the perinuclear area, in the cisternae of the rough surfaced endoplasmic reticulum, in the Golgi complex and on the plasma membrane of the hamster's neurons; it is mainly localized in the cisternae of the rough surfaced endoplasmic reticulum of the rat's neurons. AChE reaction product is also detected on the axolemmal membranes of the preganglionic nerve fibers in the sympathetic ganglia of rats and hamsters.After preganglionic sympathectomy, the AChE activity in the adrenergic neurons and in the preganglionic unmyelinated nerve fibers is markedly reduced, whereas the cholinergic neurons and preganglionic myelinated nerve fibers remain unchanged. On the basis of these results two conclusions have been reached: (1) The fact that strong AChE activity localized in the cholinergic neurons and preganglionic myelinated fibers is not influenced by denervation, suggests that these structures are able to produce AChE. (2) The reduction of AChE activity in the rat and hamster superior cervical ganglia two weeks after preganglionic denervation, observed by histochemical examination, can be correlated with a concomitant measurable reduction determined by biochemical assays.Supported in part by a grant from the National Science Council, Republic of China.
