Localization of calcitonin gene-related peptide in the small intestine of various vertebrate species.

Abstract:

:Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) was found extensively in the small intestine of both non-mammalian and mammalian vertebrates using radioimmunoassay and immunocytochemistry. By radioimmunoassay, the levels of CGRP in rats, mice, chickens, bullfrogs and rainbow trout were found to range from 91.5 to 419.1 ng/g tissue. To localize CGRP in the small intestine, we used three different tissue preparations for immunocytochemistry: whole-mount preparations, and frozen and Paraplast sections. The combination of three tissue preparations made it easier to visualize the three-dimensional structure and reduced the possibility of missing the immunoreaction. Immunoreactive cell bodies were found in the plexi in the mammalian species. Dense and regular networks of CGRP fibers were observed in the smooth muscle layers, when examined in whole-mount preparations. In non-mammalian species, however, immunoreactive cell bodies could not be detected, although immunoreactive fibers were present, forming less dense and regular networks. Our results indicate that CGRP-immunoreactive fibers are present in the smooth muscle layers of the intestine from fish to mammals, suggesting that CGRP may be involved in regulating gastrointestinal smooth muscles in vertebrates.
