Cím:Three-dimensional reconstruction and quantitative morphometric analysis of pyramidal and giant neurons of the rat dorsal cochlear nucleus / Kecskes Szilvia, Kőszeghy Áron, Szücs Géza, Rusznák Zoltán, Matesz Clara, Birinyi András

Megjegyzések:Correct interpretation of functional data obtained from various cell types of the cochlear nucleus (CN), a structure involved in auditory information processing, necessitates reliable cell identification. Our aim was to perform a quantitative morphological characterization of giant and pyramidal cells of the rat CN and identify parameters that are suitable for their adequate classification. Neurons were labeled with biocytin, visualized with a fluorescent marker, and three-dimensionally reconstructed from confocal images. The size and shape of the soma and dendritic tree of each neuron were characterized by 17 morphometric parameters. The variables were subjected to multivariate statistical analysis to determine their importance while discriminating between giant and pyramidal cells. Our results provide a new battery of morphometric data, which could not be obtained earlier, improve the chances of correct cell identification, make modeling experiments easier and more reliable, and help us to understand both the functions of individual CN neurons and the network properties of this nucleus. In addition, we demonstrate that even partial labeling and/or incomplete reconstruction of neurons may be enough for their correct identification if selected parameters describing the cell bodies and the proximal portions of the dendritic trees are utilized. We propose that our findings have specific relevance to studies which attempt cell identification after functional experiments resulting in incomplete labeling of the investigated neurons.

Cím:Activation of muscarinic receptors increases the activity of the granule neurones of the rat dorsal cochlear nucleus : a calcium imaging study / Áron Kőszeghy, János Vincze, Zoltán Rusznák, Yuhong Fu, George Paxinos, László Csernoch, Géza Szücs

Megjegyzések:Acetylcholine modulates the function of the cochlear nucleus via several pathways. In this study the effects of cholinergic stimulation were studied on the cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration of granule neurones of the rat dorsal cochlear nucleus (DCN). Ca2+ transients were recorded in Oregon-Green-BAPTA 1-loaded brain slices using a calcium imaging technique. For the detection, identification, and characterisation of the Ca2+ transients, a wavelet analysis-based method was developed. Granule cells were identified on the basis of their size and localisation. The action potential-coupled character of the Ca2+ transients of the granule cells was established by recording fluorescence changes and electrical activity simultaneously. Application of the cholinergic agonist carbamyl-choline (CCh) significantly increased the frequency of the Ca2+ transients (from 0.37 to 6.31 min-1, corresponding to a 17.1-fold increase; n = 89). This effect was antagonised by atropine, whereas CCh could still evoke an 8.3-fold increase of the frequency of the Ca2+ transients when hexamethonium was present. Using immunolabelling, the expression of both type 1 and type 3 muscarinic receptors (M1 and M3 receptors, respectively) was demonstrated in the granule cells. Application of 1,1-dimethyl-4-diphenylacetoxypiperidinium iodide (an M3-specific antagonist) prevented the onset of the CCh effect, whereas an M1-specific antagonist (pirenzepine) was less effective. We conclude that cholinergic stimulation increases the activity of granule cells, mainly by acting on their M3 receptors. The modulation of the firing activity of the granule cells, in turn, may modify the firing of projection neurones, and may adjust signal processing in the entire DCN.

Cím:Purkinje-like cells of the rat cochlear nucleus : a combined functional and morphological study / Kőszeghy, Á., Pál, B., Pap, P., Pocsai, K., Nagy, Zs., Szücs, G., Rusznák, Z.

Megjegyzések:Purkinje-like cells (PLCs) of the cochlear nucleus (CN) are strongly calbindin positive neurones with unknown function. In the present work functional and morphological methods have been employed to provide data about PLCs in general, and about their possible involvement in the synaptic organisation of the CN in particular. PLCs had slightly elongated soma, from which a complex dendritic arborisation extended with highly variable dimensions. On the basis of their morphology, three classes of PLCs were identified. Positively identified PLCs fired a train of action potentials on sustained depolarization. When hyperpolarizing stimuli were applied, the presence of a slowly activating, ZD7288-sensitive inward current was noted that corresponded to the h-current. PLCs received both excitatory and inhibitory synaptic inputs. Functional experiments revealed that 76% and 14% of the spontaneous inhibitory postsynaptic currents recorded from the cell bodies of the PLCs were mediated via glycinergic and GABAergic synapses, respectively. PLCs presented strong cerebellin1-like immunoreactivity, but its distribution differed from that seen in cerebellar Purkinje cells. Our results indicate that PLCs are parts of the synaptic circuitry of the CN, thus they may be actively involved in the processing and analysis of auditory information.

Cím:Protein phosphatase-1M and Rho-kinase affect exocytosis from cortical synaptosomes and influence neurotransmission at a glutamatergic giant synapse of the rat auditory system / Lontay Beáta, Pál Balázs, Serfőző Zoltán, Kőszeghy Áron, Szücs Géza, Rusznák Zoltán, Erdődi Ferenc

Megjegyzések:Protein phosphatase-1M (PP1M, myosin phosphatase) consists of a PP1 catalytic subunit (PP1c) and the myosin phosphatase target subunit-1 (MYPT1). RhoA-activated kinase (ROK) regulates PP1M via inhibitory phosphorylation of MYPT1. Using multidisciplinary approaches, we have studied the roles of PP1M and ROK in neurotransmission. Electron microscopy demonstrated the presence of MYPT1 and ROK in both pre- and post-synaptic terminals. Tautomycetin (TMC), a PP1-specific inhibitor, decreased the depolarization-induced exocytosis from cortical synaptosomes. trans-4-[(1R)-1-aminoethyl]-N-4-pyridinylcyclohexanecarboxamide dihydrochloride, a ROK-specific inhibitor, had the opposite effect. Mass spectrometry analysis identified several MYPT1-bound synaptosomal proteins, of which interactions of synapsin-I, syntaxin-1, calcineurin-A subunit, and Ca(2+) /calmodulin-dependent kinase II with MYPT1 were confirmed. In intact synaptosomes, TMC increased, whereas Y27632 decreased the phosphorylation levels of MYPT1(Thr696) , myosin-II light chain(Ser19) , synapsin-I(Ser9) , and syntaxin-1(Ser14) , indicating that PP1M and ROK influence their phosphorylation status. Confocal microscopy indicated that MYPT1 and ROK are present in the rat ventral cochlear nucleus both pre- and post-synaptically. Analysis of the neurotransmission in an auditory glutamatergic giant synapse demonstrated that PP1M and ROK affect neurotransmission via both pre- and post-synaptic mechanisms. Our data suggest that both PP1M and ROK influence synaptic transmission, but further studies are needed to give a full account of their mechanism of action.

Cím:Targets, receptors and effects of muscarinic neuromodulation on giant neurones of the rat dorsal cochlear nucleus / Pal, B., Koszeghy, A., Pap, P., Bakondi, G., Pocsai, K., Szucs, G., Rusznak, Z.
Dátum:2009

Megjegyzések:Although cholinergic modulation of the cochlear nucleus (CN) is functionally important, neither its cellular consequences nor the types of receptors conveying it are precisely known. The aim of this work was to characterise the cholinergic effects on giant cells of the CN, using electrophysiology and quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Application of the cholinergic agonist carbachol increased the spontaneous activity of the giant cells; which was partly the consequence of the reduction in a K(+) conductance. This effect was mediated via M4 and M3 receptors. Cholinergic modulation also affected the synaptic transmission targeting the giant cells. Excitatory synaptic currents evoked by the stimulation of the superficial and deep regions of the CN were sensitive to cholinergic modulation: the amplitude of the first postsynaptic current was reduced, and the short-term depression was also altered. These changes were mediated via M3 receptors alone and via the combination of M4, M2 and M3 receptors, when the superficial and deep layers, respectively, were activated. Inhibitory synaptic currents evoked from the superficial layer showed short-term depression, but they were unaffected by carbachol. In contrast, inhibitory currents triggered by the activation of the deep parts exhibited no significant short-term depression, but they were highly sensitive to cholinergic activation, which was mediated via M3 receptors. Our results indicate that pre- and postsynaptic muscarinic receptors mediate cholinergic modulation on giant cells. The present findings shed light on the cellular mechanisms of a tonic cholinergic modulation in the CN, which may become particularly important in evoking contralateral excitatory responses under certain pathological conditions

Cím:Cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration changes evoked by cholinergic stimulation in primary astrocyte cultures prepared from the rat cochlear nucleus / Pap, P., Kőszeghy, Á., Szücs, G., Rusznák, Z.
Dátum:2009
ISSN:0378-5955
Megjegyzések:The involvement of astrocytes in the cholinergic modulation of the cochlear nucleus has been studied using primary astrocyte cultures prepared from this nucleus. The cells were loaded with the membrane permeable form of the fluorescent Ca2+ indicator Fluo-4, and carbachol-induced Ca2+ concentration increases were monitored using an imaging system. In the presence of cholinergic stimulation 36.3% of the cells produced Ca2+ transients. The time course of the transients was variable; 45.0% of the responding cells showed only a rapid Ca2+ concentration increase, while in 50.5% of the astrocytes the fast component was followed by a slow plateau phase. Using muscarine as well as general and more specific cholinergic antagonists (atropine, pirenzepine, 4-DAMP and hexamethonium), the role of the M3 and (to a smaller extent) M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors could be demonstrated in the genesis of the carbachol-induced Ca2+ transients. The presence of these two subtypes of muscarinic receptors has been confirmed at both mRNA (Q-PCR) and protein (immunocytochemistry) levels. Our data demonstrate the responsiveness of the cochlear astrocytes towards cholinergic stimulation, suggesting that they may have roles in mediating the effects of cholinergic modulation in the rat cochlear nucleus.

Cím:The hyperpolarization-activated non-specific cation current (Ih) adjusts the membrane properties, excitability, and activity pattern of the giant cells in the rat dorsal cochlear nucleus / Rusznák Zoltán, Pál Balázs, Kőszeghy Áron, Fu YuHong, Szücs Géza, Paxinos George
Dátum:2013
ISSN:0953-816X
Megjegyzések:Giant cells of the cochlear nucleus are thought to integrate multimodal sensory inputs and participate in monaural sound source localization. Our aim was to explore the significance of a hyperpolarization-activated current in determining the activity of giant neurones in slices prepared from 10 to 14-day-old rats. When subjected to hyperpolarizing stimuli, giant cells produced a 4-(N-ethyl-N-phenylamino)-1,2-dimethyl-6-(methylamino) pyridinium chloride (ZD7288)-sensitive inward current with a reversal potential and half-activation voltage of ?36 and ?88 mV, respectively. Consequently, the current was identified as the hyperpolarization-activated non-specific cationic current (Ih). At the resting membrane potential, 3.5% of the maximum Ih conductance was available. Immunohistochemistry experiments suggested that hyperpolarization-activated, cyclic nucleotide-gated, cation non-selective (HCN)1, HCN2, and HCN4 subunits contribute to the assembly of the functional channels. Inhibition of Ih hyperpolarized the membrane by 6 mV and impeded spontaneous firing. The frequencies of spontaneous inhibitory and excitatory postsynaptic currents reaching the giant cell bodies were reduced but no significant change was observed when evoked postsynaptic currents were recorded. Giant cells are affected by biphasic postsynaptic currents consisting of an excitatory and a subsequent inhibitory component. Inhibition of Ih reduced the frequency of these biphasic events by 65% and increased the decay time constants of the inhibitory component. We conclude that Ih adjusts the resting membrane potential, contributes to spontaneous action potential firing, and may participate in the dendritic integration of the synaptic inputs of the giant neurones. Because its amplitude was higher in young than in adult rats, Ih of the giant cells may be especially important during the postnatal maturation of the auditory system.
