Differential expression of Group I metabotropic glutamate receptors in motoneurons at low and high risk for degeneration in ALS.

Abstract:

:Glutamate excitotoxicity has been suggested to play a role in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), yet it remains unclear why some groups of motoneurons (MNs) are more vulnerable to degeneration than others. Our aim was to compare, in normal adult rats, the expression of Group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR1 and mGluR5) in MNs normally affected in ALS (XII and spinal MNs) with those which are spared (III and IV MNs). RT-PCR analysis of tissue punches taken from III and XII motor nuclei revealed mRNA for both 'a' and 'b' splice variants of the mGluR1 and mGluR5 receptor subtypes, with expression of the 'a' variant dominant for both receptor subtypes in III and XII nuclei. Immunolabeling for mGluR1a protein was strong in vulnerable (XII and spinal) but negligible in the resistant (III and IV) MNs. Immunoreactivity for mGluR5 was not detected in the cell bodies or proximal dendrites of any MN pool examined. Greater expression of mGluR1a receptor protein within vulnerable MN pools may predispose these neurons to neurodegeneration as seen in ALS.
