Modifications of glycosaminoglycans at neuropile of rat and chicken cerebellum during development were histochemically studied. The application of Alcian Blue staining techniques and enzymatic degradations permitted to reveal in both species that in earlier stages of cerebellar development hyaluronic acid is present throughout neuropile of entire cerebellum but it accumulated preferentially at the medullary region and around precursory Purkinje cells where it showed a mucoid-like appearance. This substance was related with cell migration and aligning processes. At the middle of cerebellar development, around 2nd postnatal week in rat and 12-16 embryonary days in chick, a new polyanionic transient accumulation, presumably chondroitinsulphate, became present at the medullary region following the longitudinal axis of folium and limiting the forming granular layer, being this substance mainly related with polarity processes by controlling or guiding the growing cones of afferent fibers, which enter massively to cerebellar cortex. It disappeared as myelination progressed. Also from the middle stage of development onward, beside glycosaminoglycans, other polyanionic substances were present at the molecular and granular layer neuropile and at the cytoplasm of some nerve cells. These macromolecules were rather related with nerve cell differentiation and maturation. 相似文献

Effects of neurotransmitters and peptides on phospholipid hydrolysis in sympathetic and sensory neurons 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The effects of neurotransmitters and peptides on phosphoinositide hydrolysis were studied by measuring [3H]inositol monophosphate ([3H]IP) and protein kinase C (PKC) activity in the sympathetic and sensory neuronal cultures of the chick embryo. [3H]IP was increased in sympathetic neurons by acetylcholine (ACh), muscarine, serotonin (5-HT), and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide. ACh, muscarine, 5-HT, and bradykinin increased [3H]IP in sensory neuronal cultures. Dopamine, norepinephrine, histamine, and nerve growth factor did not stimulate [3H]IP formation in both cultures. ACh and phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDB) increased the PKC activity by two- to sevenfold in the particulate fraction of both cultures. In sympathetic neurons, PKC activity was increased in the particulate fraction; activity in the cytosolic fraction was not affected. There was a 50% decline in the protein kinase C activity of the cytosolic fraction after PDB and ACh treatment of sensory cultures. The decline in PKC activity in the cytosolic fraction was attributed to the presence of nonneuronal cells in sensory cultures. To confirm this, the enzyme activity was determined in tissues that contain a heterogeneous population of cells. PDB activated PKC in the adrenal medulla and the brain of the rat. In both tissues there was a 65% decline in the PKC activity of the cytosolic fraction and about a 75% increase in the particulate fraction. We conclude that the mechanism of activation of protein kinase C in pure cultures of sympathetic neurons is different than in tissues containing a mixed population of neurons and nonneuronal cells. 相似文献

A demonstration of cell-specific patterns of development in the immature CNS is provided by examples of characteristic, cell-specific time-courses of enzyme development in different classes of brain cells isolated in highly purified form by bulk-separation from the cerebral and cerebellar cortex of the growing rat. The enzymatic analysis was carried out at the level of the nerve and glial cell lysosomes and mitochondria, two subcellular organelles crucial to the economy of all cells. The findings reveal rather similar developmental patterns for the lysosomal hydrolase N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase in neurons and glial cells of the cerebral cortex as well as in two different cerebellar nerve cell types, the Purkinje and the granule cell. However, significant differences in the post-natal chronology of development of the mitochondrial enzyme alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase were noted between cortical nerve and glial cells, the glial enzyme exhibiting 6-fold higher levels of activity than the neuronal one throughout the first month of postnatal life. The findings emphasize the feasibility as well as the necessity of studies aimed at the elucidation of the cell-specific aspects of the biochemistry of developing nerve and glial cells. 相似文献

To define the role of artemin in sympathetic neurone development, we have studied the effect of artemin on the generation, survival and growth of sympathetic neurones in low-density dissociated cultures of mouse cervical and thoracic paravertebral sympathetic ganglia at stages throughout embryonic and postnatal development. Artemin promoted the proliferation of sympathetic neuroblasts and increased the generation of new neurones in cultures established from E12 to E14 ganglia. Artemin also exerted a transient survival-promoting action on newly generated neurones during these early stages of development. Between E16 and P8, artemin exerted no effect on survival, but by P12, as sympathetic neurones begin to acquire neurotrophic factor independent survival, artemin once again enhanced survival, and by P20 it promoted survival as effectively as nerve growth factor (NGF). During this late period of development, artemin also enhanced the growth of neurites from cultured neurones more effectively than NGF. Confirming the physiological relevance of the mitogenic action of artemin on cultured neuroblasts, there was a marked reduction in the rate of neuroblast proliferation in the sympathetic ganglia of mice lacking the GFRalpha3 subunit of the artemin receptor. These results indicate that artemin exerts several distinct effects on the generation, survival and growth of sympathetic neurones at different stages of development. 相似文献

Synaptosomal Protein Kinase C Subspecies: A. Dynamic Changes in the Hippocampus and Cerebellar Cortex Concomitant with Synaptogenesis 总被引:5,自引:4,他引:1
Mark S. Shearman Tetsutaro Shinomura Tomiichiro Oda Yasutomi Nishizuka† 《Journal of neurochemistry》1991,56(4):1255-1262
The expression of protein kinase C (PKC) subspecies in synaptosomes prepared from a number of adult brain regions was compared. Cerebral cortical and thalamic/striatal synaptosomes were found to express three peaks of enzyme activity upon hydroxyapatite chromatography, corresponding to the type I(gamma), type II(beta), and type III(alpha) subspecies. Synaptosomes prepared from either the hippocampus or the cerebellar cortex, however, contained only two major peaks, corresponding to the alpha- and beta-subspecies, with barely detectable levels of the gamma-subspecies, even though these tissue areas were enriched in the latter enzyme. When the ontogenic pattern of hippocampal synaptosomal PKC subspecies was examined, it was found that at postnatal day 7, significant quantities of the gamma-subspecies were present and that this subspecies reached its peak levels at around postnatal day 14, before steadily declining to its adult level. Similar changes were observed also for the gamma-subspecies in cerebellar cortex synaptosomes. The dynamic changes in the synaptosomal PKC subspecies take place at a critical period in the development of the rat brain, concomitant with an active period of synaptogenesis, suggesting that it may play a role in synaptogenesis. 相似文献

Immunohistochemical Localization of α-Mannosidase During Postnatal Development of the Rat Cerebellum 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
The localization of alpha-D-mannosidase in the rat cerebellum was studied by using indirect immunohistochemistry at both optical and electron microscopic levels. In the adult the enzyme is particularly concentrated in the dendrites and cell bodies of Purkinje cells, basket cells, and Golgi neurons in the cerebellar cortex and in the cytoplasm and dendrites of deep nuclei neurons. The cytoplasm of granule cells is poorly stained, whereas parallel fibers, white matter, Bergman fibers, and Golgi epitheloid cell perikarya show virtually no staining. Electron microscopy suggests that most of the staining is found in the cytosol, although some staining is found in the postsynaptic densities of the synapses between parallel fibers and Purkinje dendrites. The pattern of staining was followed throughout the postnatal development of the rat cerebellum. At bith an intense and diffuse staining is found in all cells except those of the external germinative layer. At the 6th postnatal day, Purkinje cell bodies and apical cones are strongly labeled. From the 13th day on the pattern is very similar to that found in the adult. However, at the 18th postnatal day (when compared with the other structures), the staining of Purkinje cell dendrites seems to be higher than at all other ages. These data are correlated with biochemical studies and discussed in relation to the possible role of this enzyme during the postnatal development of the rat cerebellum. 相似文献

Pre- and postnatal superior cervical ganglia of the rat were cultured in Rose chambers for 1-7 days with or without hydrocortisone. Phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase (PNMT) was demonstrated by indirect immunofluorescence technique. In cultures without added hydrocortisone, no cells or fibres showed PNMT-immunoreactivity, without regard to the time in culture or the developmental stage at the time of explantation. The first PNMT-immunoreactive cells in hydrocortisone-containing cultures appeared 3 days after the explantation of E14 ganglia, or 1 day after the explantation of E15 ganglia, i.e. at the developmental stage E16-E17. The cultures of neither E14 nor E15 ganglia showed marked fibre growth from the PNMT-immunoreactive cell bodies. On the other hand, in the hydrocortisone-containing cultures of newborn or postnatal rats, there was extensive nerve fibre formation from the PNMT-immunoreactive cells in the course of the culture. PNMT-immunoreactive cells did not appear in hydrocortisone-containing cultures of ganglia taken from rats older than 17 postnatal days. 相似文献

Immunocytochemical mapping of basic fibroblast growth factor in the developing and adult rat adrenal gland 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
We studied the spatial and temporal pattern of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) immunoreactivity in the rat adrenal gland during postnatal development. In the cortex the glomerulosa zone reveals a strong anti-bFGF immunoreactivity at all developmental ages studied. In the fasciculata zone the high number of anti-bFGF immunoreactive cells in the first week decreases during the second and third week. The late developing reticularis zone shows only few anti-bFGF labeled cells at all postnatal ages. This distributional pattern of bFGF immunoreactivity matches that of mitotic activity in the rat adrenal cortex strengthening the role of bFGF as an autocrine growth factor for adrenocortical cells. In the medulla anti-bFGF positive chromaffin cells become detectable at postnatal day (P) 8 and increase in number during the second and third week. In the adult rat the staining intensity of the chromaffin cells was higher than at P18. In the adult medulla bFGF colocalizes with noradrenaline suggesting its presence in a chromaffin cell subpopulation. In accordance with previous results the role of the chromaffin cell bFGF as a neurotrophic factor for preganglionic sympathetic neurons is discussed. 相似文献

Dantrolene protects neurons against kainic acid induced apoptosis in vitro and in vivo 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2

Apoptotic cell death induced by kainic acid (KA) in cultures of rat cerebellar granule cells (CGC) and in different brain regions of Wistar rat pups on postnatal day 21 (P21) was studied. In vitro , KA (100–500 μM) induced a concentration-dependent loss of cell viability in MTT assay and cell death had apoptotic morphology as studied by chromatin staining with propidium iodide (PI). In vivo , twenty-four hours after induction of status epilepticus (SE) by an intraperitoneal KA injection (5 mg/kg) we quantified apoptotic cells in hippocampus (CA1 and CA3), parietal cortex and cerebellum using PI staining and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) technique. We report that dantrolene, a specific ryanodine receptor antagonist, was able to significantly reduce the apoptotic cell death in CGC cultures and in hyppocampal CA1 and parietal cortex regions. Our finding can be valuable for neuroprotective therapy strategies in patients with repeated generalized seizures or status epilepticus. 相似文献

Summary The distribution of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)-immunoreactivity (IR) was studied in rat sensory and autonomic ganglia. In postnatal and adult sympathetic superior cervical ganglia and in adult parasympathetic otic ganglia no bFGF-staining was found. Postnatal and adult neural crest-and placode-derived sensory ganglia displayed intensive bFGF-IR in a neuronal subpopulation. This subpopulation was characterized by use of consecutive sections of adult dorsal root ganglia stained with antibodies against substance P, somatostatin, bombesin, and bFGF. Basic FGF was colocalized with the somatostatin/bombesin subpopulation but not with substance P. 相似文献

The growth cones of dissociated rat sympathetic neurons developing in culture were fixed with potassium permanganate to visualize vesicular stores of norepinephrine through the formation of granular precipitates. It was found that growth cones contain numerous small granular vesicles (SGV) 40-60 nm in diameter. The majority of the SGV was present in the varicosity of the growth cone but SGV also occurred in filopodia. The SGV appeared in clusters or scattered throughout the varicosity. Treatment of the cultured neurons, before fixation, with reserpine, which depletes catecholamine stores by blocking uptake into vesicles, resulted in the presence of small clear vesicles. In contrast, growth cones of nonadrenergic sensory neurons dissociated from dorsal root ganglia and fixed with permanganate lacked SGV and possessed small clear vesicles. These observations indicate that the growth cones of cultured sympathetic neurons contain norepinephrine, suggest that the norepinephrine is stored in synaptic vesicles, and raise the question whether this transmitter plays a role in early axon-target cell interactions during synapse formation. 相似文献

The neuronal survival promoting ability of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), individually and in combination, was evaluated in dissociated cell cultures of postnatal day 5 (P5) rat acoustic ganglia. The neuritogenic promoting effect of these same neurotrophic factors was examined in organotypic explants of P5 rat acoustic ganglia. The results showed that BDNF was maximally effective at a concentration of 10 ng/mL in promoting both survival and neuritogenesis of these postnatal auditory neurons in vitro. CNTF was maximally effective at a concentration of 0.01 ng/mL at promoting both survival and neuritogenesis in the acoustic ganglion cultures. BDNF had its strongest effect on neuronal survival while CNTF was most effective in stimulating neurite outgrowth. These two neurotrophic factors, when added together at their respective maximally effective concentrations, behave in an additive manner for promoting both survival and neuritic outgrowth by the auditory neurons. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

Localization of 4.1 related proteins in cerebellar neurons 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Localization of 4.1 related proteins in neurons was studied with immunofluorescence microscopy and with immunoelectron microscopy on ultrathin cryosections. In rat cerebellum, 4.1 immunoreactive proteins were demonstrated in Purkinje cell bodies, dendrites and other neurons in the cerebellar cortex. Some glial cells showed staining, but no labeling was found in myelinated axons of the white matter and of the glomeruli in the granule cell layer. At the ultrastructural level, the 4.1 related proteins were localized mainly in the cytoplasmic matrix, while some labeling was found underneath the plasma membrane. To determine whether 4.1 related proteins in neuronal cytoplasm exist as part of the cytoskeleton or not, PC12 cells cultured in the presence of nerve growth factor were stained with the anti-4.1 antibody. Since cytoplasmic staining was retained after detergent treatment, the 4.1 related proteins seem to exist as a component of the neural cell cytoskeleton. Localization of 4.1 related proteins during the postnatal development of the cerebellum was also studied. In Purkinje cells, localization of 4.1 related proteins changed according to the stages of the postnatal development. The present data suggest that 4.1 related proteins in neurons localized mainly in the cytoplasm and may play some role in organizing cytoskeletal networks in the cytomatrix. Their distribution is developmentally regulated in some neurons, possibly in relationship to their maturation in the cytoskeleton. 相似文献

Expression of GABA transporters,GAT-1 and GAT-3, in the cerebral cortex and thalamus of the rat during postnatal development 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The cellular and subcellular localization of two GABA transporters, GAT-1 and GAT-3, was investigated using immunocytochemical methods in the rat cerebral cortex and thalamus during postnatal development. The distribution of the transporters is compared with that of the neuronal marker GABA, and with that of vimentin and of glial fibrillary acidic protein, which identify immature and mature astrocytes, respectively. Our observations show that the two transporters are already expressed at birth in both brain areas with the same cellular localization as in adult rats, as GAT-1 is present in growth cones and terminals only in the cortex, whereas both transporters are expressed in astrocytes in the cortex and thalamus. The distribution of GAT-1 and GAT-3 undergoes postnatal changes reflecting in general the neurogenetic events of the neocortex and thalamus and, more specifically, the maturation of GABAergic innervation. The adult-like pattern of expression is achieved in the third postnatal week in the cortex and in the second postnatal week in the thalamus. The early expression of GAT-1 in GABAergic terminals confirms previous studies showing the existence of neuronal mechanisms of GABA uptake from the embryonic stages. As for the glial localization, the precocious existence of two astrocytic GABA transporters suggests that they operate through different functional mechanisms from birth, whereas their exclusively glial expression in the thalamus indicates that the astroglia plays a major role in the transport, recycling and metabolism of thalamic GABA. 相似文献

Protracted neurogenesis occurs at different postnatal stages in different brain locations, whereby leading to site-specific adult neurogenesis in some cases. No spontaneous genesis of neurons occurs in the cerebellum after the postnatal genesis of granule cells from the external germinal layer (EGL), a transitory actively proliferating zone which is thought to be exhausted before puberty. Here, we show the protracted genesis of newly generated neuronal precursors in the cerebellar cortex of young rabbits, persisting beyond puberty. Neuroblasts generated within an actively proliferating subpial layer thus extending the postnatal EGL are arranged to form thousands of tangential chains reminiscent of those responsible for cell migration in the forebrain subventricular zone. These subpial chains cover the whole cerebellar surface from the 2nd to the 5th month of life, then disappearing after puberty. In addition, we describe the appearance of similar groups of cells at the end of granule cell genesis in the mouse cerebellum, here limited to the short period of EGL exhaustion (4-5 days). These results show common features do exist in the postnatal reorganization of secondary germinal layers of brain and cerebellum at specific stages, parallel to differences in the slowing down of cerebellar neurogenesis among mammalian species. 相似文献

A monoclonal antibody designated M2 arose from the fusion of mouse myeloma cells with splenocytes from a rat immunized with particulate fraction from early postnatal mouse cerebellum. Expression of M2 antigen was examined by indirect immunofluorescence on frozen sections of developing and adult mouse cerebellum and on monolayer cultures of early postnatal mouse cerebellar cells. In adult cerebellum, M2 staining outlines the cell bodies of granule and Purkinje cells. A weaker, more diffuse staining is seen in the molecular layer and white matter. In sections of newborn cerebellum, M2 antigen is weakly detectable surrounding cells of the external granular layer and Purkinje cells. The expression of M2 antigen increases during development in both cell types, reaching adult levels by postnatal day 14. At all stages of postnatal cerebellar development, granule cells that have completed migration to the internal granule layer are more heavily stained by M2 antibodies than are those before and in process of migration. In monolayer cultures, M2 antigen is detected on the cell surface Of all GFA protein-positive astrocytes and on more immature oligodendrocytes, that express 04 antigen but not 01 antigen. After 3 days in culture, tetanus toxinpositive neurons begin to express M2 antigen. The same delayed expression of M2 antigen on neurons is observed in cultures derived from mice ranging in age from postnatal day 0 to 10. 相似文献

Summary In rats, the distribution of nerve structures staining for NADPH-diaphorase, and showing immunoreactivities for nitric oxide
synthase (NOS), tyrosine hydroxylase and various neuropeptides was studied in sensory ganglia (dorsal root, nodose and trigeminal
ganglia), in sympathetic ganglia (superior cervical, stellate, coeliac-superior and inferior mesenteric ganglia), parasympathetic
ganglia (sphenopalatine, submandibular, sublingual and otic ganglia), and in the mixed parasympathetic/ sympathetic ganglia
(major pelvic ganglia). The coincidence of neuronal cell bodies with strong NOS-immunoreactivity and strong NADPH diaphorase
reactivity was almost total. The relative proportions of NOS-immunoreactive nerve cell bodies were largest in parasympathetic
ganglia and major pelvic ganglia followed by sensory ganglia. In sympathetic ganglia no NOS-immunoreactive neuronal cell bodies
could be detected. In parasympathetic and major pelvic ganglia, there was a very significant neuronal co-localization of immunoreactivities
for NOS and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP). This was almost total in major pelvic ganglia, in which NOS-/VIP-immunoreactive
nerve cell bodies were separate from sympathetic (tyrosine hydroxylase-/neuropeptide Y-immunoreactive), suggesting that NOS-/VIP-immuno-reactive
neurons might also be parasympathetic. 相似文献
