Abstract

We recently reported the distributions of AMPA ($\alpha$-amino-3-hydroxyl-5-methyl-4-isoxazole-propionate) receptor subtypes glutamate receptors (GluR) 1 and GluR4 in the superior colliculi (SC) of hamsters with antibody immunocytochemistry and the effect of enucleation on these distributions. We also compared these labelings to those of calcium-binding proteins calbindin D28K, calretinin, parvalbumin, and GABA. In the present study, we investigated whether the GluR1- and GluR4-immunoreactive (IR) neurons are interneurons or projection neurons by injection of the retrograde tracer horseradish peroxidase (HRP) into one of each major ascending and descending pathways of the SC. HRP injections were made into a tecto-reticulospinal pathway (TRS) and dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN). Animals were then allowed to recover and to survive for 48 hr before perfusion. Sections containing retrograde-labeled neurons were then treated for GluR-immunoreactivity. HRP injections proved that only a small population of the GluR1-IR cells project into TRS (1.4%) and dLGN (2.6%). However, a large subpopulation of GluR4-IR cells project into TRS (32.7%). The differential compositions of inter/projection neurons, along with our previous studies on the separate distribution of the GluR subunits, its differential co-localization with calcium-binding proteins and GABA, and differential reactions to enucleations, strongly imply the functional variety of the receptor subunits in visual behavior responses.

본 연구자들의 앞선 연구에서는 햄스터 상구에서 AMPA 수용체의 아형인 GluR1과 GluR4의 분포와 눈 적출 이후 이들 수용체의 분포를 면역세포화학적 방법으로 연구하였다. 또한, 표지한 GluR1과 GluR4를 칼슘결합단백질인 calbindin D28K, calretinin, parvalbumin과 GABA로 표지하여 비교하였다. 본 연구에서 역행성이동추적물질(retrograde tracer)인 호스래디시퍼옥시다아제(horseradish peroxidase, HRP)를 상구의 각 주요 상행로와 하행로에 주입함으로써 GluR1- 면역반응 신경세포들과 GluR4- 면역반응 신경세포들이 투사신경세포(projection neurons)임을 밝혀내었다. Tecto-reticulospinal pathway (TRS)와 dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN)으로 HRP 를 주입한후, 햄스터들은 회복을 위해 48시간 동안 살려둔 뒤 관류(perfusion)하였다. GluR- 면역반응 처리된 절편들은 역행성 표지된 신경세포를 지님을 확인하였다. HRP를 주입하였더니 단지 적은 수의 GluR1- 면역반응 신경세포들이 TRS (1.4%)와 dLGN (2.6%)으로 투사되었고, 반면에 많은 수의 GluR4- 면역반응 신경세포들이 TRS (32.7%)로 투사되었다. 사이/투사 신경세포(inter/projection neurons)들은 GluR 아단위들의 분류된 분포와 차별화된 양상을 보였고 이들의 이러한 분포는 칼슘결합단백질들과 GABA와는 겹쳐지지 않았으며, 일전에 발표했던 시각적 행동 반응에서 안구 적출 후 수용체 아단위들의 기능적 다양화와는 차별화된 양상을 보였다.
