The ultrastructural localisation of the N-methyl-D-aspartate NR2B receptor subunit in rat lumbar spinal cord.

Abstract:

:Glutamate together with its N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors has an important role in the transmission of stimuli in the spinal cord. Whilst the expression of the various NMDA receptor subunits within the spinal cord has been investigated the subcellular location of the NMDA NR2B subunit has yet to be definitively established. Both mRNA and light microscopical studies have failed to unequivocally demonstrate the proposed pre-synaptic location of this subunit. This has been proposed from pharmacological data and is thought to underlie the apparent analgesic properties of selective NR2B antagonists. Using pre-embedding immunohistochemistry combined with electron microscopy our findings provide the first definitive morphological evidence for both a pre- and post-synaptic localisation of NR2B/containing NMDA receptors, and suggest expression by astrocytes, in the rat lumbar spinal cord.

  • Striatal glutamic acid decarboxylase immunoreactivity is increased after dopaminergic deafferentation: densitometric analysis.

    abstract::Several lines of evidence suggest that dopamine exerts a chronic inhibitory action on GABAergic cells in the striatum, and striatal glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) mRNA levels are increased after ipsilateral dopaminergic denervation. In the present study we have used GAD immunocytochemistry to assess whether dopamin...
