Cím:	Expression of hyperpolarization-activated and cyclic nucleotide-gated cation channel subunit 2 in axon terminals of peptidergic nociceptive primary sensory neurons in the superficial spinal dorsal horn of rats / Antal, M., Papp, I., Bahaerguli, N., Veress, G., Vereb, G.
Dátum:	2004
Megjegyzések:	Hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated cation channel proteins (HCN1-4), which are potentially able to modulate membrane excitability, are abundantly expressed by neurons in spinal dorsal root ganglia (DRG). In the present experiment, we investigated whether HCN2 protein is confined exclusively to the perikarya of DRG neurons or is transported from the somata to the central axons of DRG neurons that terminate in the spinal dorsal horn. Using immunohistochemical methods, we have demonstrated that laminae I-IIo of the superficial spinal dorsal horn of the adult rat spinal cord show a strong punctate immunoreactivity for HCN2. Dorsal rhizotomy resulted in a complete loss of immunostaining in the dorsal horn, suggesting that HCN2 is confined to axon terminals of primary afferents. In double labelling immunohistochemical studies, we have also shown that HCN2 widely co-localizes with calcitonin gene-related peptide, but is almost completely segregated from isolectin-B4 binding, indicating that HCN2 is primarily expressed in peptidergic nociceptive primary afferents. The expression of HCN2 in central terminals of peptidergic primary afferents was also verified with electron microscopy. Utilizing the pre-embedding nanogold method, we found that HCN2 is largely confined to axon terminals with dense-core vesicles. Within these terminals, some of the silver grains marking the accurate location of HCN2 molecules were associated with the cell membrane, and others were scattered in the axoplasm. Within the cell membrane, HCN2 was found almost exclusively in extrasynaptic locations. The results suggest that HCN2 may contribute to the modulation of membrane excitability of nociceptive primary afferent terminals in the spinal dorsal horn.

Cím:	Regulation of the lateral wall stiffness by acetylcholine and GABA in the outer hair cells of the guinea pig / Batta T. J., Panyi Gy., Szucs A., Sziklai I.
Dátum:	2004
ISSN:	0953-816X
Megjegyzések:	Acetylcholine (ACh) and GABA, the main neurotransmitters of the efferent innervation of the outer hair cells (OHCs), are assumed to regulate the efficacy of the cochlear amplifier through a variety of mechanisms. The recently described stretch-induced changes of the lateral wall stiffness (regulatory stiffness response) and the stretch-induced slow cell motility of OHCs may be important regulatory mechanisms in this process. We found that ACh in cochleobasal OHCs significantly reduces the stiffness of the lateral wall but increases the regulatory stiffness response and stretch-induced slow cell motility. Qualitatively similar cellular responses were evoked by GABA in cochleoapical OHCs. The effects of ACh could be inhibited by strychnine, the specific inhibitor of the alpha(9) ACh receptors expressed in OHCs, whereas the effects of GABA could be blocked by bicuculline, a specific GABA(A) receptor antagonist. In the absence of extracellular Ca(2+) the effects of ACh and GABA on the regulatory stiffness response were reduced, indicating the involvement of Ca(2+) in the control of this process. Based on our results we suggest that efferent innervation protects the organ of Corti against high sound intensities and supports adaptation by modification of the micromechanical properties of OHCs. This could be governed by ACh and GABA indirectly, via the potentiation of stretch-induced cell shortening in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner, rather than by a direct stiffness regulation-related mechanism.
