Morphology and neurochemistry of two striatal neuronal subtypes expressing the GABA(A) receptor alpha3-subunit in the rat.

Abstract:

:The morphological characteristics, distribution and neurochemical phenotype of striatal neuronal subtypes expressing the GABA(A) receptor alpha3-subunit were investigated using immunocytochemical and immunofluorescent techniques with an antibody specific for this subunit. alpha3-immunopositive neurons were infrequent in the rat striatum, but two morphologically different subtypes were observed: Cholinergic neurons, and a second cellular type that may correspond to neurogliaform neurons, although it may also be a novel subtype of striatal interneuron. To identify the second cellular subtype, co-localization of the GABA(A) receptor alpha3-subunit with markers of different classes of striatal interneurons was studied using specific antibodies. It was found that there was a lack of co-localization between all interneuronal markers used in this study and the alpha3-subunit. Although the alpha3-subunit immunopositive neurons represent a small percentage of the total of striatal neuronal populations, they may play an important role in the regulation of the microcircuitry of the striatum.
