Structural aspects, potassium stimulation and calcium dependence of nonsynaptic neuropeptide release by the egg laying controlling caudodorsal cells of Lymnaea stagnalis.

Abstract:

:The cerebral peptidergic caudodorsal cells of the freshwater snail Lymnaea stagnalis control egg laying and egg-laying behaviour by releasing peptides into (1) the haemolymph, from neurohaemal axon terminals in the periphery of the cerebral commissure and (2) the intercellular space of the central nervous system, from collaterals in the inner compartment of this commissure. Recently, it was shown that collateral release occurs from nonsynaptic release sites, which lack the morphological specializations that are characteristic of classical synapses. Probably, these sites enable the caudodorsal cells to communicate with central neurons in a nonsynaptic ("paracrine", "diffuse", "hormone-like") fashion. The structural and ionic bases of nonsynaptic release were studied using the tannic acid-Ringer incubation-method for the detection of exocytotic release of secretory granule contents in vitro. Elevation of the extracellular potassium concentration strongly stimulates exocytotic activity in the collaterals. No stimulation was found in the absence of extracellular calcium ions. Similar results have been obtained for the neurohaemal axon terminals. Electron-dense material occurs apposed at the cytoplasmic side of the axolemma of collaterals (ethanolic phosphotungstic acid method). This material appears homologous with the presynaptic dense projections forming the "vesicular grid" in classical synapses. Such projections are also present in the neurohaemal axon terminals. It is concluded that secretion from nonsynaptic release sites in caudodorsal cell collaterals shares fundamental characteristics with secretion from conventional neuronal release sites (neurohaemal axon terminals and classical synapses); release occurs by exocytosis of secretory granules, is associated with a vesicular grid, is stimulated by membrane depolarization, and depends on the presence of extracellular calcium ions.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
