Abstract:
:In recent years, data have accumulated suggesting that the role of neurotrophins and Trk receptors may not be limited to the nervous system, and the presence of these substances has been detected in a variety of vertebrate and invertebrate non-nervous tissues. This study was designed to map the expression of immunoreactivity (IR) for Trk-like proteins in alevins of the teleost Dicentrarchus labrax, with particular emphasis on non-nervous structures. We used antibodies against specific epitopes of the intracellular domain of these proteins, a region that is highly conserved in phylogeny. Trk-like IR was seen in segregate cell populations of the nervous system, and non-nervous tissues. In the central nervous system TrkA-like and TrkC-like IR was abundant, whereas TrkB-like IR was restricted to a low number of brain areas. Expression of Trk-like protein IR was observed in the peripheral nervous system and sensory organs, with the exception of the lateral line organ. Outside the nervous system, TrkA-like IR was mainly found in different epithelia, TrkB-like IR in the endocrine and digestive system, and TrkC-like IR in the cardiovascular and immune systems. The gills showed IR for all three Trk-like proteins, whereas they were absent from the gonads. Furthermore, scattered cells positive for Trk-like proteins were found in most of the investigated tissues. The distribution of Trk-like IR in this teleost is compared with that of mammals and birds, which it often paralleled, and the possible role of neurotrophins and Trk-like receptor proteins in different non-neuronal tissues is discussed.
