Abstract:
:The secretory capabilities of the serotonergic neuron C1 of cerebral ganglion of Helix pomatia were markedly reduced when it was cultured in contact with the wrong target neuron, C3. When the neuron B2, one of its physiological targets, was micromanipulated within the network made of intermingled neurites originating from the axonal stumps of both C1 and C3 neurons, C1 increased the amount of the evoked transmitter release, which, after 30 min, reached the level observed when cocultured with the appropriate target. The removal of the appropriate target brought C1 back to the low release condition. By imaging C1 neurites with a fluorescent dye, morphological changes involving a local increase in the number of varicosities could be observed as early as 30 min after contact with the appropriate target. Monoclonal antibody 4E8 against apCAM, a family of Aplysia adhesion molecules, recognizes apCAM-like molecules of the Helix central nervous system on immunocytochemistry and Western blot analysis. The contact with the appropriate target previously incubated in a 4E8 solution, which did not interfere with its capacity to respond to serotonin, failed to increase the transmitter release of C1 cocultured in the presence of the wrong target, C3. These results suggest that the apCAM-like antigens bound to the target membrane participate in the molecular processes responsible for the assembly of the "release machinery" present in the functional presynaptic structure.
