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:	Commissural propriospinal connections between the lateral aspects of laminae III-IV in the lumbar spinal cord of rats / Petko, M., Veress, G., Vereb, G., Storm-Mathisen, J., Antal, M.

Megjegyzések:	It has been established that there is a strong functional link between sensory neural circuits on the two sides of the spinal cord. In one of our recent studies we provided a morphological confirmation of this functional phenomenon, presenting evidence for the presence of a direct commissural connection between the lateral aspects of the dorsal horn on the two sides of the lumbar spinal cord. By using a combination of neural tracing and immunocytochemical detection of neural markers like vesicular glutamate transporters, glutamic acid decarboxylase, glycine transporter, and met-enkephalin (which are characteristic of various subsets of excitatory and inhibitory neurons), we investigated here the distribution, synaptic relations, and neurochemical characteristics of the commissural axon terminals. We found that the cells of origin of commissural fibers in the lateral aspect of the dorsal horn were confined to laminae III-IV and projected to the corresponding area of the contralateral gray matter. Most of the commissural axon terminals established synaptic contacts with dendrites. Axospinous or axosomatic synaptic contacts were found in limited numbers. We demonstrated that interactions among commissural neurons also exist. More than three-fourths of the labeled axon terminals were immunostained for glutamic acid decarboxylase and/or glycine transporter, but none of them showed positive immunoreaction for met-enkephalin and vesicular glutamate transporters. The results indicate that there is a substantial reciprocal commissural synaptic interaction between the lateral aspects of laminae III-IV on the two sides of the lumbar spinal cord and that this pathway may transmit both inhibitory and excitatory signals to their postsynaptic targets
