Abstract

Retinal bipolar cells according to the light stimulus respond to potential slowly, emit neurotransmitter release(glutamine acid) to depend on membrane potential. In this paper, the several physiological information on neurotransmitter release mechanism in the presynaptic terminal of the ON-type bipolar cells are incorporated into the formula model. The source of fast components and slow components of neurotransmitter release was arranged in parallel, this model was able to reproduce the membrane potential and intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ concentration dependence of neurotransmitter release faithfully. In addition, because the fast releasable components of neurotransmitter was represented by the membrane potential dependence of trapezoid type, whereas the slow releasable components was represented by the membrane potential dependence of a bell type, $Ca^{2+}$ concentration rise in intracellular is suppressed by $Ca^{2+}$ buffer to reduce slow releasable components, it was confirmed that the membrane potential dependence of neurotransmitter release was characteristics of a trapezoid type. And, in the light response of ON type bipolar cell, the result of the simulation of the neurotransmitter release caused by the components of transient and persistent was that the start of light response occurred the fast release of neurotransmitter, it was confirmed that the transient component and persistent component of the light response occurred the slow release. It was confirmed that the later of persistent component of the light response occurred due to the continuous release by synaptic vesicle supplemented from the storage pool.

망막 쌍극세포는 광자극에 대하여 완만한 전위응답을 하며, 막전위에 의존하여 전달물질(glutamine 산)을 방출한다. 본 논문에서는 ON형 쌍극세포의 시냅스 앞단에서 전달물질 방출 기구에 관한 여러 가지의 생리학적 정보를 수식적 모델로 통합하였다. 전달물질 방출의 빠른 성분과 느린 성분의 공급원을 병렬로 배치한 본 모델은 전달물질 방출의 막전위 및 세포 내 $Ca^{2+}$ 농도 의존성을 충실하게 재현할 수가 있었다. 또한 전달물질의 빠른 방출 성분은 사다리꼴 모양의 막전위 의존성을 나타내는 데에 반하여, 느린 방출 성분은 종모양의 막전위 의존성을 나타내기 때문에 세포 내의 $Ca^{2+}$ 농도 상승을 $Ca^{2+}$ 완충제로 억제하여 느린 방출 성분이 감소되고, 전달 물질 방출의 막전위 의존성이 사다리꼴 모양의 특성이 되는 것을 확인하였다. 그리고 ON 형 쌍극세포의 광응답에서 일시적 성분과 지속적 성분에 의하여 발생하는 전달물질 방출을 시뮬레이션한 결과 광응답의 시작은 전달물질을 빠르게 방출하게 하였으며, 광응답의 일시적 성분과 초기의 지속적 성분은 전달물질을 느리게 방출하도록 하였다. 또한 광응답의 후기 지속적 성분은 저장 pool로부터 보충된 시냅스 소포에 의하여 지속적인 방출이 발생하기 때문이라는 것을 확인하였다.
