Abstract：
:The function of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is to terminate the action of acetylcholine at the cholinergic synapse. Recent evidence suggests additional roles for acetylcholinesterase as a peptidase and/or a protease which is expressed by growing neurites as part of their invasion of developing neural structures. We report the localization of acetylcholinesterase in developing ferret retina. AChE histochemical staining is seen in the developing inner plexiform layer (IPL) of ferret retina at birth (post-natal day zero, PO), the earliest developmental stage examined. Transient expression is seen at the border between the ganglion cell layer and the nerve fiber layer at P14 and P21. A small amount of transient expression is seen in the outer plexiform layer (OPL) at this age as well. By P28, the transient expression in the OPL is at its peak, and is found at photoreceptor terminals and associated with apparent horizontal cell axons. Labeling is also seen intracellularly in the inner nuclear layer (INL), at the OPL/INL border, suggesting that horizontal cells are the source of the transient AChE expression in the OPL. Overt synaptic profiles also appear in the inner plexiform layer (IPL) at P21 and P28. About 2 days layer, the eyes open and the photoreceptor outer segments are fully developed. By 2 weeks later, at P42, the AChE staining pattern in the retina has taken on its adult appearance: no reaction product in the outer retina; intracellular reaction product in the Golgi apparatus of a subset of amacrine and displaced amacrine cells which manufacture AChE; and extracellular reaction product at both synaptic and non-synaptic sites in the IPL. These data are consistent with a role for AChE as a peptidase early in development, and as an enzyme essential in the termination of synaptic action at mature synapses.
