Expression of 5-HT receptor mRNA in rat nucleus raphe magnus
نویسنده
چکیده
The present study demonstrated that 5-HT receptor mRNA was expressed with moderate level in the NRM neurons. Most of 5-HT 1A 1A receptor mRNA positive cells were 5-HT neurons, suggesting the majority of 5-HT receptor in the NRM might be autoreceptors. Eight 1A hours after carrageenan inflammation, the expression of 5-HT receptor mRNA in the NRM neurons, especially in the 5-HT neurons, 1A was significantly increased. These results suggest that synthesis of 5-HT receptors, including 5-HT autoreceptors, is increased in the 1A 1A NRM during peripheral inflammation. 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Effect of Specific Lesion of Non Serotonergic Pathway on Neurons of Nucleus Raphe Magnus Morphology in Rat
Purpose: The nucleus raphe magnus (NRM) is a medullary nucleus containing serotonergic and non serotonergic neurons, both of which densely project to spinal cord. The goal of this study was to determine the role of these non serotonergic neurons in pain perception and their cytological changes after the specific lesion of bulbo-spinal serotonergic pathway. Materials and Methods: Male rats were...
متن کاملAnalgesic effect of morphine microinjected into the nucleus raphe magnus after electrolytic lesion of nucleus cuneiformis in tail-flick and formalin tests in rat
Introduction: The antinociceptive effect of morphine is, in part, mediated through the activation of a descending pathway. One of the major components of this pathway is the nucleus raphe magnus (NRM). Our previous study demonstrated the involvement of NRM in the analgesic effect of morphine microinjected into the nucleus cuneiformis (NCF) in a descending manner. The aim of the current study...
متن کامل5-ht5B receptor mRNA in the raphe nuclei: coexpression with serotonin transporter.
We used double-label in situ hybridization to examine the cellular localization of 5-ht(5B) receptor mRNA in relation to serotonin transporter mRNA in the rat dorsal raphe (DR) and central superior nucleus (CS, median raphe nucleus). 5-ht(5B) receptor mRNA hybridization signal was often found on serotonin transporter mRNA-positive neuron profiles. The degree of cellular colocalization of these ...
متن کاملGABAB receptor mRNA in the raphe nuclei: co-expression with serotonin transporter and glutamic acid decarboxylase.
We have used double-label in situ hybridization techniques to examine the cellular localization of GABAB receptor mRNA in relation to serotonin transporter mRNA and glutamic acid decarboxylase mRNA in the rat dorsal raphe, median raphe and raphe magnus nuclei. The degree of cellular co-localization of these markers notably varied among the different nuclei. In the dorsal raphe, cell bodies show...
متن کاملExpression of serotonin 5-HT2C receptors in GABAergic cells of the anterior raphe nuclei.
We have used double in situ hybridization to examine the cellular localization of 5-HT2C receptor mRNA in relation to serotonergic and GABAergic neurons in the anterior raphe nuclei of the rat. In the dorsal and median raphe nuclei 5-HT2C receptor mRNA was not detected in serotonergic cells identified as those expressing serotonin (5-HT) transporter mRNA. In contrast, 5-HT2C receptor mRNA was f...
