In situ mRNA hybridization study of the distribution of choline acetyltransferase in the human brain.

Abstract:

:We examined the distribution of choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) mRNA in the brain of six autopsied individuals by in situ hybridization with 35S-labeled human ChAT riboprobes. Neurons containing hybridization signal for ChAT mRNA were observed in the nucleus of the diagonal band of Broca, the basal nucleus of Meynert, the caudate nucleus, the putamen, the pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus, the laterodorsal tegmental nucleus, the parabigeminal nucleus, the oculomotor nucleus and the trochlear nucleus. These findings were in good agreement with previous ChAT-immunohistochemical data. In contrast, labeled neurons were not observed in the medial septal and medial habenular nuclei, in which previously ChAT-immunoreactive neurons have been identified in many mammalian species, including the human. An unexpected result of the present study was the demonstration of neurons with ChAT mRNA signal in restricted areas of the human cerebral cortex.
