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 کاملmu-opioid receptor activation inhibits N- and P-type Ca2+ channel currents in magnocellular neurones of the rat supraoptic nucleus.
1. The whole-cell voltage-clamp technique was used to examine opioid regulation of Ba2+ currents (IBa) through voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channels in isolated magnocellular supraoptic neurones (MNCs). The effects of local application of mu-, delta- or kappa-opioid receptor selective agonists were examined on specific components of high voltage-activated (HVA) IBa, pharmacologically isolated by use ...
متن کاملMuscarinic receptor modulation of slow afterhyperpolarization and phasic firing in rat supraoptic nucleus neurons.
A slow posttrain afterhyperpolarization (sAHP) was studied in rat magnocellular neurosecretory cells (MNCs) in vitro. The sAHP was isolated from other afterpotentials by blocking the depolarizing afterpotential (DAP) with Cs(+) and the medium afterhyperpolarization (mAHP) with apamin. The sAHP amplitude increased logarithmically with activity ( approximately 3 mV per e-fold increase in number o...
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 کاملHistamine suppresses non-NMDA excitatory synaptic currents in rat supraoptic nucleus neurons.
Whole cell patch-clamp recordings were obtained from supraoptic neurons to investigate the effects of histamine on excitatory postsynaptic currents evoked by electrical stimulation of areas around the posterior supraoptic nucleus. When cells were voltage-clamped at -70 mV, evoked excitatory postsynaptic currents had amplitudes of 88.4 +/- 9.6 pA and durations of 41.1 +/- 3.0 ms (mean +/- SE; n ...
