Abstract:
:The neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) may play a role in neurogenic inflammation, tissue remodeling of the uterine cervix, promoting vasodilation, parturition, and processing of sensory information in the spinal cord. CGRP-immunoreactive nerves of the cervix and spinal cord have been studied but cellular identification of the CGRP receptor has received little attention. CGRP-receptor component protein (CGRP-RCP) is a small protein associated with the CGRP receptor; thus, immunostaining for the CGRP-RCP can be used to identify sites of the CGRP receptor. We determined sites of CGRP-RCP immunoreactivity relative to the presence of CGRP-ir nerve fibers in the female rat uterine cervix, spinal cord, and dorsal root ganglia. CGRP-RCP immunoreactivity was expressed in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord, venules of the uterine cervix, and perikarya of sensory neurons in dorsal root ganglia. CGRP-immunoreactive fibers were adjacent to CGRP-RCP-immunoreactive vessels in the cervix and among CGRP-RCP-immunoreactive structures in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord. This suggests CGRP-RCP is associated with structures innervated by CGRP nerves and these interactions may be changed in tissues in response to an appropriate stimulus.
