Summary The effect of several benzodiazepines (clonazepam, diazepam, Ro 5-4864, Ro 15-1788) and two pineal gland indoleamines (N-acetylserotonin, melatonin) on the spontaneous proliferation of mouse spleen lymphocytes was estimated in vitro by the 3 H-thymidine uptake assay. It was found that diazepam and Ro 5-4864 (a selective peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor ligand) produced the concentration-dependent inhibition of 3 H-thymidine incorporation into the DNA of these cells. Ro 15-1788, a specific central-type receptor ligand, evoked a slight inhibitory effect in a high concentration (10 –4M), whereas clonazepam did not produce any significant inhibition. When Ro 5-4864 was tested in combination with diazepam, the inhibition of lymphocyte proliferation did not exceed the effect of diazepam given alone. Ro 15-1788 was unable to reverse the inhibitory action of diazepam in the same experimental conditions. Melatonin and its precursor N-actetylserotonin tested in the concentration range of 10 –4–10 –8 M had no significant influence on the spleen lymphocyte DNA replication in our assay system.These data suggest that diazepam inhibition of lymphocyte proliferation is mediated by peripheral-type sites. Additionally, the fact that melatonin and N-acetylserotonin were unable to affect 3 h-thymidine incorporation argues against any benzodiazepine receptor mediated effect of pineal indoleamines on a cellular proliferation. 相似文献

We investigated whether the development of sympathetic innervation of the spleen is affected by lymphoid cells. Splenic noradrenaline (NA) levels of athymic nude mice (nu/nu) and normal thymus-bearing littermates (nu/+) were determined at different times during ontogeny. While no differences were detected at birth, higher splenic NA levels were found in 7-, 11-, and 21-day-old athymic mice. Thymus transplantation or thymocyte injection to newborn nude mice resulted in splenic NA levels comparable to those of normal nu/+ mice. Histochemical studies fully confirmed such differences. Taken together with previous studies, these results suggest that T lymphocytes or their products exert an inhibitory influence on sympathetic nerve fibers, thus leading to decreased NA content in the spleen. The data also illustrate the capacity of a nonneuronal cell in a peripheral organ to affect the process of autonomic innervation of this organ. 相似文献

Objectives: Axon tracers provide crucial insight into the development, connectivity, and function of neural pathways. A tracer can be characterized as a substance that allows for the visualization of a neuronal pathway. Axon tracers have previously been used exclusively with in vivo studies; however, newer methods of axon tracing can be applied to ex vivo studies. Ex vivo studies involve the examination of cells or tissues retrieved from an organism. These post mortem methods of axon tracing offer several advantages, such as reaching inaccessible tissues and avoiding survival surgeries. Methods: In order to evaluate the quality of the ex vivo tracing methods, we performed a systematic review of various experimental and comparison studies to discern the optimal method of axon tracing. Results: The most prominent methods for ex vivo tracing involve enzymatic techniques or various dyes. It appears that there are a variety of techniques and conditions that tend to give better fluorescent character, clarity, and distance traveled in the neuronal pathway. We found direct comparison studies that looked at variables such as the type of tracer, time required, effect of temperature, and presence of calcium, however, there are other variables that have not been compared directly. Discussion: We conclude there are a variety of promising tracing methods available depending on the experimental goals of the researcher, however, more direct comparison studies are needed to affirm the optimal method. 相似文献

The mouse is an extremely valuable model for studying vagal development in relation to strain differences, genetic variation, gene manipulations or pharmacological manipulations. Therefore, a method using 1,1'-dioctadecyl-3,3,3',3'-tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate (DiI) was developed for labeling vagal innervation of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract in embryonic and postnatal mice. DiI labeling was adapted and optimized for this purpose by varying several facets of the method. For example, insertion and crushing of DiI crystals into the nerve led to faster DiI diffusion along vagal axons and diffusion over longer distances as compared with piercing the nerve with a micropipette tip coated with dried DiI oil. Moreover, inclusion of EDTA in the fixative reduced leakage of DiI out of nerve fibers that occurred with long incubations. Also, mounting labeled tissue in PBS was superior to glycerol with n-propyl gallate, which resulted in reduced clarity of DiI labeling that may have been due to DiI leaking out of fibers. Optical sectioning of flattened wholemounts permitted examination of individual tissue layers of the GI tract wall. This procedure aided identification of nerve ending types because in most instances each type innervates a different tissue layer. Between embryonic day 12.5 and postnatal day 8, growth of axons into the GI tract, formation and patterning of fiber bundles in the myenteric plexus and early formation of putative afferent and efferent nerve terminals were observed. Thus, the DiI tracing method developed here has opened up a window for investigation during an important phase of vagal development. 相似文献

Splenic immune function is modulated by sympathetic innervation, which in turn is controlled by inputs from supraspinal regions. In the present study, the characterization of central circuits involved in the control of splenic function was accomplished by injecting pseudorabies virus (PRV), a retrograde transynaptic tracer, into the spleen and conducting a temporal analysis of the progression of the infection from 60 hours to 110 hours postinoculation. In addition, central noradrenergic cell groups involved in splenic innervation were characterized by dual immunohistochemical detection of dopamine-beta-hydroxylase and PRV. Infection in the CNS first appeared in the spinal cord. Splenic sympathetic preganglionic neurons, identified in rats injected with Fluoro-Gold i.p. prior to PRV inoculation of the spleen, were located in T(3)-T(12) bilaterally; numerous infected interneurons were also found in the thoracic spinal cord (T(1)-T(13)). Infected neurons in the brain were first observed in the A5 region, ventromedial medulla, rostral ventrolateral medulla, paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus, Barrington's nucleus, and caudal raphe. At intermediate survival times, the number of infected cells increased in previously infected areas, and infected neurons also appeared in lateral hypothalamus, A7 region, locus coeruleus, subcoeruleus region, nucleus of the solitary tract, and C3 cell group. At longer postinoculation intervals, infected neurons were found in additional hypothalamic areas, Edinger-Westphal nucleus, periaqueductal gray, pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus, caudal ventrolateral medulla, and area postrema. These results demonstrate that the sympathetic outflow to the spleen is controlled by a complex multisynaptic pathway that involves several brainstem and forebrain nuclei. 相似文献

Solid HRP pellets prepared with a 2.5% Triton X-100 aqueous solution were implanted either into corpora allata or applied onto neurohemal organs of a cricket. The method presents two advantages: it allows one to perform "in vivo" instead of "in vitro" experiments, and detergent HRP pellets are easy to manipulate. Thus, this method combines simplicity with accuracy and appears to be very useful in tracing neural connections in the insect nervous system. 相似文献

Injection of biocytin provides an effective method for labeling axonal projections. Several difficulties arise when this technique is employed in fetal or early postnatal animals in vivo, including limited access to injection sites and extended post-injection survival periods. To circumvent these problems, we adapted the technique of extracellular biocytin injection for use in explanted brain hemispheres of developing mice. Briefly, entire brain hemispheres from perinatal mice (E16-P9) were removed and placed in oxygenated aCSF in a brain slice recording chamber. Following visually guided injection of biocytin (2%) into the prelimbic cortex, the brains were then incubated in oxygenated artificial cerebrospinal fluid (aCSF) for varying periods of time and then immersion-fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and 0.5% glutaraldehyde. The next day, the brains were sectioned and processed for biocytin histochemistry using the avidin-biotin-complex method. We examined the method of injection, electrode type, time of injection, and post-injection incubation period. We found that in E16-P9 animals iontophoresis of biocytin using 8- to 12-megaohm patch clamp electrodes for a duration of 10 min provides optimal axonal labeling. Post-injection incubation times of four or more hours are sufficient for labeling fine caliber collaterals as well as axon bundles that reach distances over 3 mm. In vitro injection of biocytin into explanted brain hemispheres provides a quick and easy method for tract tracing in developing brains. 相似文献

We developed a bicistronic HIV1-derived lentiviral vector system co-expressing green fluorescent protein (AcGFP1) and wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) mediated by picornaviral 2A peptide. This system was first applied to the analysis of the rat cerebellar efferent pathways. When the lentiviral vector was injected into a specific lobule, the local Purkinje cell population (first-order neurons) was efficiently infected and co-expressed both AcGFP1 and WGA protein. In the second-order neurons in the cerebellar and vestibular nuclei, WGA but not AcGFP1 protein was differentially detected, demonstrating that the presence of AcGFP1 protein enables discrimination of first-order neurons from second-order neurons. Furthermore, WGA protein was detected in the contralateral ventrolateral thalamic nucleus (third-order nucleus). This system also successfully labeled rat cortical pathways from the primary somatosensory cortex and monkey cerebellar efferent pathways. Thus, this bicistronic lentiviral vector system is a useful tool for differential transsynaptic tracing of neural pathways originating from local brain regions. 相似文献

A simple method for the simultaneous localization of an antigen and a retrogradely transported fluorescent dye within single neurons is described. The method is based upon: (1) the efficiency of retrograde neuronal labeling with the fluorescent marker ‘true blue’; (2) the near-quantitative persistence of retrogradely transported true blue localizations after subsequent processing of the tissue for immunohistochemistry; and (3) the ability to distinguish clearly between true blue and immunohistochemically-stained cells by simply using appropriate excitation wavelengths for each. First we examined the characteristics of two fluorescent tracers which are effectively transported over long distances in the rat. The results confirm that true blue and bisbenzimide are transported from terminal fields to parent cell bodies and that both tracers are taken up and transported by damaged fibers and by undamaged fibers-of-passage. No evidence for transneuronal transport of either dye in the anterograde or in the retrograde direction was found. Next, using the projection of the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVH) to the spinal cord as a test system, it was found by direct cell counts that a considerably greater percentage of cells in a specific subdivision of the nucleus was labeled following true blue injections into the spinal cord (88%) than was labeled after comparable injections of bisbenzimide (58%), or horseradish peroxidase (HRP) (24%), or after HRP-polyacrylamide gel implants (39%). A comparison of cell counts of true blue-labeled cells in normal material and in series of adjacent sections that were processed for immunohistochemistry suggested that only about 5% of the true blue-labeled cells are no longer detectable following the immunohistochemical procedures employed. Finally, by coupling the fluorescent retrograde tracing method with an indirect immunofluorescence technique, we have been able to localize reproducibly both retrogradely transported true blue and an antigen in individual neurons. The perfusion and staining method employed provided adequate staining of cell bodies that cross-reacted with antisera to one or another of the 9 peptides and enzymes tested. The results indicate that true blue is a versatile and highly sensitive marker for retrograde tracing studies that can be used alone, or in conjunction with immunohistochemical methods to establish the identity of cell groups with respect to their biochemistry as well as their efferent connections. 相似文献
