Detection of Glycoconjugate Changes in the Embryonic Trigeminal Nucleus in Balb/C Mouse by Lectin Histochemistry
Purpose: Determination of changes of glycoconjugates, which have special terminal sugars, in embryonic developmental processes of brain stem and trigeminal nucleus in Balb/C mouse. Materials and Methods: In this study mice embryos between 10-17 embryonic days were used. They were fixed according to ordinary laboratory procedures. The specimens were embedded in paraffin and serial sections with...
متن کاملMolecular and pharmacological evidence for a facilitatory functional role of pre-synaptic GLUK2/3 kainate receptors on GABA release in rat trigeminal caudal nucleus
BACKGROUND Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutamate (GLU) are involved in nociceptive signals processing in the trigeminal system. In this study, we investigated the influence of excitatory transmission on GABA release in nerve terminals isolated from the rat trigeminal caudal nucleus (TCN). METHODS We utilize biochemical (superfused synaptosomes loaded with [(3) H]GABA) and morphological...
متن کاملThe Mechanism of Functional Up-Regulation of P2X3 Receptors of Trigeminal Sensory Neurons in a Genetic Mouse Model of Familial Hemiplegic Migraine Type 1 (FHM-1)
A knock-in (KI) mouse model of FHM-1 expressing the R192Q missense mutation of the Cacna1a gene coding for the α1 subunit of CaV2.1 channels shows, at the level of the trigeminal ganglion, selective functional up-regulation of ATP -gated P2X3 receptors of sensory neurons that convey nociceptive signals to the brainstem. Why P2X3 receptors are constitutively more responsive, however, remains unc...
متن کاملElectrophysiological evidence for expression of glycine receptors in freshly isolated neurons from nucleus accumbens.
In the course of studying N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors of the nucleus accumbens (NAcc), we found that 20% of freshly isolated medium spiny neurons, as well as all interneurons, responded in an unexpected way to long (5-s) coapplication of NMDA and glycine, the coagonist of NMDA receptors. Whereas the reversal potential of the peak NMDA current of this subset of neurons was still around...
متن کاملB-Type Natriuretic Peptide-Induced Delayed Modulation of TRPV1 and P2X3 Receptors of Mouse Trigeminal Sensory Neurons
Important pain transducers of noxious stimuli are small- and medium-diameter sensory neurons that express transient receptor vanilloid-1 (TRPV1) channels and/or adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-gated P2X3 receptors whose activity is upregulated by endogenous neuropeptides in acute and chronic pain models. Little is known about the role of endogenous modulators in restraining the expression and func...
