Abstract

Calcium-binding protein calretinin is thought to play important roles in calcium buffering. Recently, we reported on the distribution, morphology of calretinin-immunoreactive (IR) neurons and the effects of eye enucleation on the immunoreactivity of calretinin in the superficial layers of the hamster superior colliculus (SC). In the present study, we describe the distributions and types of labeled cells and effects of enucleation in the deeper layers by immunocytochemistry. We also compare this labeling to that of GABA, the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. In contrast to the superficial layers, the deeper layers contained many calretinin-IR neurons which formed two tiers. The first tier, which was very distinctive, was found within the intermediate gray layer. The second tier was found in the deep gray layer. Labeled neurons varied dramatically in morphology and included vertical fusiform, stellate, round/oval, and horizontal neurons. In contrast to the superficial layers, enucleation appeared to have no effect on the distribution of calretinin immunoreactivity in the deeper layers. Two-color immunofluorescence revealed that none of calretinin-IR neurons were labeled with an antibody to GABA. The present results demonstrate that calretinin identifies unique neuronal sublaminar organizations in the hamster SC. The present results also demonstrate that none of the calretinin-IR neurons in the hamster SC is GABAergic interneurons. As many calretinin-IR cells are GABAergic interneurons in most other brain areas, this phenomenon in hamster SC is exceptional.

칼슘 결합 단백질 calretinin은 칼슘의 완충작용에 중요한 역할을 한다고 알려져 있다. 최근에 우리는 햄스터 상구의 superficial layer에서 calretinin과 면역반응(immunoreactive)을 일으키는 신경세포의 형태, 분포와 안구적출 후 calretinin 면역반응의 영향에 대해 보고한 바 있다. 본 연구에서는, 상구의 deeper layer에서 면역세포화학 방법을 이용하여 면역표지 된 세포의 분포와 유형 그리고 안구적출 후 변화의 양상을 기술한다. 또한 중추 신경계에서 주요 억제성 신경전달물질인 GABA를 사용하여 calretinin 면역표지 된 세포와 비교하였다. Superficial layer와 비교하여, deeper layer는 calretinin 면역 반응을 일으키는 많은 신경세포들이 분포한다. 이 신경세포들은 두 층을 형성하며, 그 중 첫 번째 층은 intermediate gray layer에서 뚜렷한 층 구조를 나타내었다. 두 번째 층은 deep gray layer에서 발견되었다. 면역표지 된 신경세포는 형태학적으로 매우 다양하며, 수직 방추모양, 성상, 둥근/타원형 그리고 수평 신경세포를 포함한다. Superficial layer와 비교하여, 안구적출은 deeper layer에서 calretinin 면역반응의 분포에 영향이 없는 것으로 보여진다. 두 가지 색을 이용한 면역 형광법은 calretinin 면역반응 신경세포들이 하나도 GABA항체와 함께 표지 되지 않는 것을 보여준다. 본 연구 결과는 햄스터 상구에서 calretinin 함유 신경세포는 특이한 sublaminar 구조를 이루고 있는 것을 보여준다. 본 연구 결과는 또한 햄스터 상구에서 calretinin 면역 반응 신경세포들은 GABAergic interneuron이 하나도 없는 것을 증명한다. 많은 calretinin 면역 반응 세포들은 대부분 뇌의 다른 부분에서는 GABAergic interneuron 인데 비해, 햄스터 상구에서의 본 연구 현상은 예외적이다.
