Abstract：
:Recent research has shown that at least two tryptophan hydroxylase (Tph) genes are present in gnathostome vertebrates, but it is not known when the duplication of the ancestral Tph gene took place during evolution. By their position as an out-group of gnathostomes, lampreys (agnathans) are key models to understand molecular evolution in vertebrates. Here, we report the cloning of a Tph cDNA of the sea lamprey and the pattern of Tph mRNA expression in larval and postmetamorphic (young adult) sea lampreys using in situ hybridization. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the lamprey Tph is an orthologue of Tphs of other vertebrates and suggested that the duplication of the ancestral Tph gene occurred before the separation of agnathans and gnathostomes, although alternative hypothesis are also discussed in the present study. In the sea lamprey brain, the Tph transcript was expressed in perikarya of the pineal organ, the retina, the diencephalic and rhombencephalic nuclei reported previously with serotonin immunohistochemistry and in small cells of the spinal cord, with a pattern similar to that observed with anti-serotonin antibodies. This suggests that expression of this Tph gene is shared by all lamprey serotonergic brain populations, unlike that reported in zebrafish and mammals for their different Tph genes. However, no Tph expression was observed in peripheral serotonergic cells, which, unlike in other vertebrates, are widely distributed in lampreys. Our results suggest that the selection of Tph2 to be expressed in raphe neurons may have occurred along the line leading to gnathostomes.
