Ultrastructure of electrophysiologically-characterized synapses formed by serotonergic raphe neurons in culture.

Abstract：

:Recent electrophysiological investigations in this laboratory have shown that cultured mesopontine serotonergic neurons from neonatal rats evoke serotonergic and/or glutamatergic responses in themselves and in non-serotonergic neurons. Serotonergic nerve terminals in vivo are heterogeneous with respect to vesicle type, synaptic structure, and the frequency with which they form conventional synaptic contacts, but the functional correlates of this heterogeneity are unclear. We have therefore examined the ultrastructure of electrophysiologically-characterized synapses formed by cultured serotonergic neurons, and have compared the findings with the ultrastructural characteristics of serotonergic synapses reported in vivo. Dissociated rat serotonergic neurons in microcultures were identified by serotonin immunocytochemistry or by uptake of the autofluorescent serotonin analogue 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine, and were subsequently processed for electron microscopy. Unlabeled axon terminals formed numerous synapses on serotonin-immunoreactive somata and dendrites. Serotonin-immunoreactive axon terminals formed synapses on the somata, dendrites and somatodendritic spine-like appendages of serotonergic and non-serotonergic neurons. In microcultures containing a solitary serotonergic neuron that evoked glutamatergic or serotonergic/glutamatergic autaptic responses, both symmetric and asymmetric synapses were present. In addition to large dense core vesicles, individual neurons contained either microcanaliculi and microvesicles, clear round vesicles, or clear pleiomorphic vesicles. For a given cell, however, the subtypes of vesicles present in each axon terminal were similar. Thus, dissociated serotonergic and non-serotonergic raphe neurons formed functional, morphological synapses in culture. A direct examination of both the synaptic physiology and ultrastructure of single cultured serotonergic neurons indicated that these cells released serotonin and glutamate at synapses that were morphologically similar to synapses formed by serotonergic neurons in vivo. The findings also suggested that individual serotonergic neurons differ with respect to synaptic vesicle morphology, and are capable of simultaneously forming symmetric and asymmetric synapses with target cells.
