Quantitative distributions of aspartate aminotransferase and glutaminase activities in the rat cochlea.

Abstract:

:The intra-cochlear distributions of aspartate aminotransferase and glutaminase, prominent enzymes of aspartate and glutamate metabolism, have been studied by quantitative microchemical techniques. Also measured was choline acetyltransferase, the enzyme synthesizing acetylcholine, and a marker for the olivocochlear bundle. Aspartate aminotransferase activity was highest in the stria vascularis, about half this high in the organ of Corti synaptic (hair cell) zones, somewhat lower in the organ of Corti non-synaptic (Hensen's cell) zones, lower yet in Reissner's and lowest in the tectorial membrane. Glutaminase, on the other hand, had its highest activity in synaptic zones, about a third of that activity in the organ of Corti non-synaptic zones, and a barely detectable activity in Reissner's and tectorial membranes, and stria vascularis. Seven days after transection of the olivocochlear bundle, no significant difference was found between lesion- and control-side aspartate aminotransferase or glutaminase activities, even though no choline acetyltransferase activity remained in the lesion-side of the organ of Corti. Both the distribution of aspartate aminotransferase activity and the lesion results would seem to implicate it in energy more so than neurotransmitter metabolism. The distribution of glutaminase activity could be consistent with a role in neurotransmission; however, the lesion data were unable to demonstrate a specific association with the olivocochlear bundle.
