Expression of aquaporin-9 immunoreactivity by catecholaminergic amacrine cells in the rat retina.

Abstract:

:Aquaporins are involved in the maintenance of ionic and osmotic balance in the central nervous system and in the eye. Whereas the expression of aquaporin-9 immunoreactivity in the brain has been described for catecholaminergic neurons and glial cells, the expression of aquaporin-9 in the neural retina is unclear. We examined the distribution of aquaporin-1 and -9 immunoreactivities in retinas of the rat. Aquaporin-9 immunoreactivity was expressed exclusively by tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) positive amacrine cells, while aquaporin-1 immunoreactivity was expressed by photoreceptor cells and by TH negative amacrine cells. The staining pattern of aquaporin-9 did not change up to 4 weeks after pressure-induced transient retinal ischemia. It is concluded that catecholaminergic, putatively dopaminergic, amacrine cells of the retina express aquaporin-9.
