Actin filaments mediate mechanical gating during osmosensory transduction in rat supraoptic nucleus neurons.
Osmosensory transduction is a bidirectional process displayed by neurons involved in the control of thirst and antidiuretic hormone release, and is therefore crucial for body fluid homeostasis. Although this mechanism is known to involve the activation of nonselective cation channels during hypertonicity-evoked shrinking, and the inhibition of these channels during hypotonicity-evoked swelling,...
متن کاملCytoplasmic intermediate filaments mediate actin-driven positioning of the nucleus.
The localization of the nucleus is precisely regulated, and defects in nuclear positioning are observed in diseases such as lissencephaly, cerebellar ataxia and dysplasia. We show here that cytoplasmic intermediate filaments are essential players in actin-dependent positioning of the nucleus. The actin retrograde flow is relayed by a flow of intermediate filaments that accumulate asymmetrically...
متن کاملSelective gene expression in magnocellular neurons in rat supraoptic nucleus.
Oxytocin- and vasopressin-producing magnocellular neurons (MCNs) of the hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system are the only neuronal phenotypes present in the rat supraoptic nucleus (SON). Laser microdissection of the SON, extraction and T7-based amplification of its RNAs, and analysis of the resulting cDNAs by hybridization on a 35, 319 element DNA microarray have provided a detailed composite vi...
متن کاملAmplification of transducer gain by angiotensin II-mediated enhancement of cortical actin density in osmosensory neurons.
Osmosensory neurons transduce osmotic signals into a neural spike code that commands behavioral and endocrine responses that mediate body fluid homeostasis. Although changes in osmoregulatory reflex gain are known to occur under physiological and pathological conditions, the basis for this modulation is unknown. Here, we show that angiotensin II amplifies osmosensory transduction by enhancing t...
متن کاملInterleukin 1β Directly Excites Isolated Rat Supraoptic Neurons via Upregulation of the Osmosensory Cation Current
Previous studies have shown that interleukin-1β (IL-1β) can excite the magnocellular neurosecretory cells (MNCs) of the hypothalamus. However it is not known if IL-1β can have direct IL-1 receptor type 1 (IL-1R1)-mediated effects on MNCs, and little is known about the cellular mechanisms by which IL-1β influences electrical activity in these cells. Here we used patch-clamp recordings to examine...
