The effect of cholinergic agonists and antagonists on ganglion cells in the mudpuppy retina.
The role of acetylcholine in the retina has recently been reviewed by Neal (i) and Puro (2). Although histochemical and immunocytochemical studies indicate the presence of acetylcholine in the retina in many species, physiological evidence for its action as a neurotransmitter has been obtained in only a few of these, including rabbit (3-8), cat (9-11) and carp (12,13). These studies suggest tha...
متن کاملalpha10: a determinant of nicotinic cholinergic receptor function in mammalian vestibular and cochlear mechanosensory hair cells.
We report the cloning and characterization of rat alpha10, a previously unidentified member of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subunit gene family. The protein encoded by the alpha10 nAChR subunit gene is most similar to the rat alpha9 nAChR, and both alpha9 and alpha10 subunit genes are transcribed in adult rat mechanosensory hair cells. Injection of Xenopus laevis oocytes with al...
متن کاملResponses of hair cells to statocyst rotation
A new technique is described for stimulating hair cells of the Hermissenda statocyst. The preparation and recording apparatus can be rotated at up to 78 rpm while recording intracellular potentials. Hair cells in front of the centrifugal force vector depolarize in response to rotation. Hair cells in back of the centrifugal force vector hypoerpolarize in response to rotation. Mechanisms by which...
متن کاملbinding of agonists and antagonists
The effect of aldosterone and antimineralocorticoids on the intracellular localization of human mineralocorticosteroid receptor (hMR) was studied using a new monoclonal anti-peptide antibody FD4. This antibody was directed against the peptide hMR-(412-422). As demonstrated by ultracentrifugation analysis, immunoprecipitation assays and Western blot, FD4 recognized both the native and denatured ...
متن کاملPalate morphogenesis. V. Effects of cholinergic agonists and antagonists on rotation in embryo culture.
Morphological studies have shown that the pterygopalatine ganglion in the day-14.5 mouse palatal shelf lies adjacent to the putative contractile system of region-2 cells in the posterior palate. It is of interest to learn whether the ganglion could influence rotation of the palate. Results of embryo culture experiments showed that acetylcholine appeared to play a role in posterior shelf rotatio...
