Calretinin distribution in the octopus brain: an immunohistochemical and in situ hybridization histochemical analysis.

Abstract:

:The distribution of calretinin containing neurons examined by in situ hybridization mapping was compared with that obtained by immunocytochemistry in the brain of octopus. Results revealed a close correspondence between the two types of investigations. Western blot analysis disclosed a 29 kDa protein immunostained with anti-calretinin antibody. Calretinin containing neurons were localized mainly in the cortex of octopus lobes, including the vertical, frontal, basal, buccal, palliovisceral, pedal and branchial, with variations of staining intensity and density of immunoreactive cells. The amacrine cells surrounding calretinin containing neuronal bodies of the cortex were also labeled unlike the glial cells. The close correspondence of blotting analysis, immunocytochemistry and in situ hybridization indicates with no doubt that calretinin, like other calcium-binding proteins previously studied, is also present in the nervous system of cephalopods. Furthermore, although recent findings localize calretinin also in endocrine glands, the presence of this calcium-binding protein in the brain of octopus indicates that calretinin appeared early in the phylogeny as a neuronal protein already in invertebrates.

  • L-DOPA neurotoxicity is mediated by glutamate release in cultured rat striatal neurons.

    abstract::The exposure of cultured rat striatal neurons to L-DOPA caused marked cell death. The L-DOPA cytotoxicity was inhibited by the addition of Mg2+ to and by the removal of Ca2+ from the culture medium, and also by the application of tetrodotoxin. Moreover, prolonged application of L-DOPA increased the glutamate content i...
