Expression of exocytosis proteins in rat supraoptic nucleus neurones.
In magnocellular neurones of the supraoptic nucleus (SON), the neuropeptides vasopressin and oxytocin are synthesised and packaged into large dense-cored vesicles (LDCVs). These vesicles undergo regulated exocytosis from nerve terminals in the posterior pituitary gland and from somata/dendrites in the SON. Regulated exocytosis of LDCVs is considered to involve the soluble N-ethylmaleimide sensi...
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 کاملCa(2+) and frequency dependence of exocytosis in isolated somata of magnocellular supraoptic neurones of the rat hypothalamus.
In addition to action potential-evoked exocytotic release at neurohypophysial nerve terminals, the neurohormones arginine vasopressin (aVP) and oxytocin (OT) undergo Ca(2+)-dependent somatodendritic release within the supraoptic and paraventricular hypothalamic nuclei. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie this release have not been elucidated. In the present study, the w...
متن کاملNeuropeptidomics of the Supraoptic Rat Nucleus
The mammalian supraoptic nucleus (SON) is a neuroendocrine center in the brain regulating a variety of physiological functions. Within the SON, peptidergic magnocellular neurons that project to the neurohypophysis (posterior pituitary) are involved in controlling osmotic balance, lactation, and parturition, partly through secretion of signaling peptides such as oxytocin and vasopressin into the...
متن کاملFrequency-dependent depletion of secretory vesicle pools modulates bursting in vasopressin neurones of the rat supraoptic nucleus
CT ED P RO O Abstract When stimulated, vasopressin neurones discharge lengthy, repeating bursts of action potentials. An increase in the stimulus strength causes both a lengthening of the bursts’ active phase and an increase in the intra-burst firing frequency. Here we extend our earlier model (P. Roper, J. Callaway, W. Armstrong. J. Neurosci. 24(20) (2004) 4831.) for phasic bursting at a const...
