Abstract:
:The enkephalin-like immunoreactivity in the retina of chicks has been studied using immunohistochemical and radioimmunoassay techniques. The histochemical experiments showed that the immunoreactivity was confined to a subpopulation of amacrine cells in the inner nuclear layer which projected processes into sublaminae 1 and 3-5 of the inner plexiform layer. The distribution of the immunoreactivity was markedly influenced by the ambient lighting conditions: it was reduced in the dark and restored by a period in the light. The reactivity was lost from both cell soma in the inner nuclear layer and from the processes. Radioimmunoassays showed that the quantity of enkephalin-like material was reduced by more than 60% after 12 h in the dark. Attempts to entrain a rhythm by keeping chicks on 12/12 h light/dark cycles for up to 4 days were largely unsuccessful. A rhythm may have been partially entrainable, but the major factor involved was light. These results highlight the lability of the neuropeptide in the retina and the need for controlled lighting conditions in studies of this kind. They also indicate that this system may be a fruitful model to explore two important issues: (i) it could allow studies of neuropeptide metabolism in a physiologically intact system; (ii) the role of particular amacrine cells in visual processing could be determined by depleting them of their neurotransmitter/neuromodulator.
