Substance P receptors in the human spinal cord: decrease in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Abstract:

:The distribution of substance P receptors was examined by autoradiography at all levels of the human postmortem spinal cord using the ligand [125I]Bolton-Hunter substance P. Adjacent sections were used to localize substance P-like immunoreactivity by a radioimmunohistochemical technique. In the control spinal cord substance P-like immunoreactivity was found to be highly concentrated in the superficial layers of the dorsal horn, intermediolateral cell columns and lamina X, while lower levels of immunoreactivity were observed in other areas of the grey matter of the spinal cord. In contrast, high densities of substance P binding sites were localized not only to the substantia gelatinosa of the dorsal horn but also to other regions of the grey matter of the spinal cord, particularly in the area of the preganglionic sympathetic neurons in the intermediolateral cell column and in the region of the somatic motor neurons of the ventral horn. In 5 cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis we found a marked reduction of substance P binding, especially in the ventral horn associated with the loss of motor neurons. These results suggest a postsynaptic localization of substance P receptors to the motor neurons of the ventral horn in the human spinal cord and a role for substance P in the function of motor neurons.
