Synaptic properties of serotonergic growth cones in developing rat brain.
In order to gain insight into the events that take place when serotonergic growth cones are remodeled into synapses, we tested the hypothesis that neurotransmitter-related properties of presynaptic terminals are already present in these growth cones before synaptogenesis begins. The ontogeny of markers for the specific reuptake of 5-HT and for 5-HT-storing synaptic vesicles was studied in isola...
متن کاملNerve Growth Cones Isolated from Fetal Rat Brain
Cyclic adenosine 3’:5’-monophosphate (CAMP)-binding proteins and CAMP-dependent protein phosphorylation were examined in growth cone particles (GCPs) prepared from fetal rat brain. Several major proteins which specifically bind a photoactivatable analogue of CAMP are observed in GCPs and correspond to isoelectric variants of the regulatory subunits of the CAMP-dependent protein kinase described...
متن کاملIn vitro culture of serotonergic neurons from fetal rat brain.
Principle of Technique Monoaminergic neurons are among the first to differentiate in the central nervous system (CNS) (4), and they innervate in a diffuse fashion many cortical and subcortical structures throughout the CNS. The exact function of this early innervation is poorly understood, although it appears through recent studies (3) that it may have some tnophic effect on the multiplication ...
متن کاملSerotonergic neurotoxic metabolites of ecstasy identified in rat brain.
The selective serotonergic neurotoxicity of 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA) and 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, ecstasy) depends on their systemic metabolism. We have recently shown that inhibition of brain endothelial cell gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (gamma-GT) potentiates the neurotoxicity of both MDMA and MDA, indicating that metabolites that are substrates for this enzyme con...
متن کاملHydrolases in Developing Rat Brain
It is not yet clear whether lysosomal enzymes act only in degenerative processes, in response to noxious stimuli, or whether they act in the normal degradative processes of turnover. In support of the latter belief is the observation that specific lysosomal enzymes are absent (or highly deficient) in certain genetic lesions characterized by accumulation of the intermediates on which they act 6,...
