幼年大鼠视皮层神经元对闪光刺激的反应特性

哺乳动物视觉系统的发育延续到出生后,大鼠出生后 3~5 周是视觉系统发育的关键期 . 在关键期中,视皮层的兴奋性和抑制性突触连接逐渐成熟,形成有效的皮层内回路 . 为了观察发育关键期大鼠视皮层神经元的反应特性与成年大鼠的异同,使用胞外单细胞记录的方法对比研究了幼年和成年大鼠对闪光刺激的视觉反应特性 . 结果显示：与成年大鼠相比较,幼年大鼠视皮层神经元对持续闪光刺激显示出更强的适应性,对光刺激的诱发放电频率更低,而在没有光刺激时的自发放电频率更高,从而导致信噪比更低 . 这一结果表明,幼年大鼠视皮层对连续刺激的反应能力下降,对信号的分辨能力也更弱,其原因可能是兴奋性突触和抑制性突触发育的不同步所致 .

Novel Endogenous Protein Kinase C Substrate Proteins, Neutrinins, in Brain Synaptic Membranes of Maturing Rat

Abstract: A new family of membrane phosphoproteins designated as P9, P12, P15, P16, and P20 with corresponding apparent molecular weights of 9K, 12K, 15K, 16K, and 20K was characterized from rat brain by using in vitro exogenous or endogenous phosphorylation and autoradiography. As the phosphorylation was selectively inhibited by the protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor PKC_19–31 or Ca²⁺-chelating reagents and again stimulated by the PKC activator phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate, these proteins are thought to be the natural PKC substrates. Because P12, P15, P16, and P20 were neutral proteins (pl 7.0) and specifically distributed in neuronal membranes, the new family of membrane-associated PKC substrate proteins was referred to as neutrinins. Neutrinins were widely distributed in rat brain, being especially plentiful in the spinal cord, medulla oblongata, cerebellum, and midbrain, relatively scanty in the cerebral cortex, but lacking in cytosol of brain areas and cell membrane preparations of peripheral tissues. The expression of the developmental changes of neutrinins has been monitored by the in vitro exogenous phosphorylation approach, i.e., adding purified PKC to a deactivated synaptosomal plasma membrane system. Levels of all the neutrinin proteins in rat cerebral cortex, as represented by P12, P15, and P16, showed an ontogenetic increase from the early postnatal days to the adult. This appears to be correlated with the commencement of synaptogenesis.     

Postnatal changes in dolichol-pathway enzyme activities in cerebral cortex neurons.

Neuronal perikarya were isolated from rat cerebral cortex at different stages of postnatal development. Membranes sedimenting at 100000 g were obtained from these neurons to study several glycosyltransferases of the dolichol pathway. Enzyme activities from stages before and during synapse formation were compared (days 5 and 15 respectively). Dolichyl diphosphate (Dol-P-P) N-acetylglucosamine, dolichyl phosphate mannose and dolichyl phosphate glucose synthases and the enzymes catalysing Dol-P-P-GlcNAc2Man9Glc3 formation were higher at day 15 of postnatal development. The glycosyl transfer of the latter compound to endogenous protein(s) as well as to a dinitrophenyl-heptapeptide was also measured. The activity was higher at day 15. Furthermore, the activity of dolichyl phosphate mannose synthase was also measured during the time when the number of synapses ceased to increase (day 36) and in the adult stage. The activity of dolichyl phosphate mannose synthase was higher at day 36 than at day 15, and declined in the adult stage. From these results it may be concluded that there is an increase in the glycosylation of asparagine-type glycoproteins during synapse formation in the neurons of the cerebral cortex.     

Developmental Expression of HNK-1-Reactive Antigens in Rat Cerebral Cortex and Molecular Heterogeneity of Sulfoglucuronylneolactotetraosylceramide in CNS Versus PNS

Monoclonal antibody HNK-1 reacts with a carbohydrate epitope present in proteins, proteoglycans, and sulfoglucuronylglycolipids (SGGLs). On high-performance TLC plates, SGGLs of the CNS from several species migrated consistently slower than those from the PNS, a result indicating possible differences in the structures. The structural characteristics of the major SGGL, sulfoglucuronylneolactotetraosylceramide (SGGL-1), from CNS was compared with those of SGGL-1 from PNS. Although the composition, sequence, and linkages of the carbohydrate moiety of the SGGL-1 species were identical, SGGL-1 from CNS contained mainly short-chain fatty acids, 16:0, 18:0, and 18:1, amounting to 85% of the total fatty acids, whereas SGGL-1 from PNS contained large proportions (59%) of long-chain fatty acids (greater than 18:0). These differences in the fatty acid composition accounted for the different migration pattern observed. The developmental expression of SGGLs and HNK-1-reactive proteins was studied in rat cerebral cortex between embryonic day (ED) 15 to adulthood. SGGLs in the rat cortex were maximally expressed around ED 19 and almost completely disappeared by postnatal day (PD) 20. This expression was contrary to their increasing expression in the cerebellum and sciatic nerve with postnatal development. Six to eight protein bands with a molecular mass of greater than 160 kDa were HNK-1 reactive in the rat cerebral cortex at different ages. The major HNK-1 reactivity to the 160-kDa protein band seen in ED 19 to PD 10 cortex decreased and completely disappeared from the adult cortex, whereas several other proteins remained HNK-1 reactive even in the adult. Western blot analyses of the neural cell adhesion molecules (N-CAMs) during development of the rat cortex with a polyclonal anti-N-CAM antibody showed that the major HNK-1-reactive protein bands were not N-CAMs. Between PD 1 and 10, 190-200-kDa N-CAM was the major N-CAM, and between PD 15 to adulthood, 180-kDa N-CAM was the only N-CAM present in the rat cortex.     

Expression of the Na-K-2Cl cotransporter is developmentally regulated in postnatal rat brains: A possible mechanism underlying GABA's excitatory role in immature brain

An inhibitory neurotransmitter in mature brain, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) also appears to be excitatory early in development. The mechanisms underlying this shift are not well understood. In vitro studies have suggested that Na-K-Cl cotransport may have a role in modulating immature neuronal and oligodendrocyte responses to the neurotransmitter GABA. An in vivo developmental study would test this view. Therefore, we examined the expression of the BSC2 isoform of the Na-K-2Cl cotransporter in the postnatal developing rat brain. A comparison of sections from developing rat brains by in situ hybridization revealed a well-delineated temporal and spatial pattern of first increasing and then diminishing cotransporter expression. Na-K-2Cl mRNA expression in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus was highest in the first week of postnatal life and then diminished from postnatal day (PND) 14 to adult. Cotransporter signal in white-matter tracts of the cerebrum, cerebellum, peaked at PND 14. Expression was detected in cerebellar progenitor cells of the external granular layer, in internal granular layer cells at least as early as PND 7, and in Purkinje cells beginning at PND 14. Double-labeling immunofluorescence of brain sections with anti-BSC2 antibody and cell type-specific antibodies confirmed expression of the cotransporter gene product in neurons and oligodendrocytes in the white matter in a pattern similar to that determined by in situ hybridization. The temporal pattern of expression of the Na-K-2Cl cotransporter in the postnatal rat brain supports the hypothesis that the cotransporter is the mechanism of intracellular Cl⁻ accumulation in immature neurons and oligodendrocytes. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The postnatal development of the synapse: A morphological approach utilizing synaptosomes

Summary Synaptosomes derived from 2–21 days postnatal rat cerebral cortex have been examined following glutaraldehyde fixation and block PTA staining, with the aim of investigating the maturation of the paramembranous densities at the contact region between the pre- and postsynaptic components. The internal coats of pre- and postsynaptic membranes first appear as undifferentiated plaque-like thickenings, which gradually develop into, or are replaced by, dense projections and postsynaptic focal densities respectively. Both sets of densities pass through an interconnected phase before starting to emerge as discrete entities at 5–7 days. The external coats of the pre- and postsynaptic membranes coalesce to form a plate-like structure which breaks down during development to form the cleft densities or transverse bars of the adult contact region. Although for the first few days of postnatal development only one type of synaptosome can be identified, from 5 days onwards two types corresponding to types A and B of adult life become recognizable.Increase in height of the dense projections has been correlated with increase in the number of synaptic vesicles per synaptosome during postnatal development, indicating that the synaptic vesicles may play a role in the formation and maturation of dense projections. The possible importance of other factors in this process is also discussed.We would like to thank Professors J. Z. Young, F. R. S., and E. G. Gray for their advice, and Mr. S. Waterman for expert photographic assistance.     

Distribution of neuronal nitric oxide synthase-immunoreactive neurons in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus during postnatal development

Although many reports have argued a role for nitric oxide (NO) during postnatal development, there has been no combined demonstration in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus. We have investigated the distribution and morphology of neurons and fibers expressing neuronal NO synthase (nNOS) in the cerebral cortex and hippocampal formation of rats during the postnatal development, and correlated these findings with developmental events taking place in these regions. In the cerebral cortex, the nNOS-immunoreactive cells could be divided into two classes : heavily stained neurons and lightly stained neurons. For the lightly stained nNOS-positive neurons, only the cell bodies were observed, whereas for the heavily stained neurons, the cell bodies and their dendrites were visible. During the postnatal days, heavily stained neurons reached their typical morphology in the second week and appeared in all layers except for layer I. In the hippocampus, there was a transient expression of nNOS in the pyramidal cell layer at P3â€P7, and this expression disappeared during following days. The adult pattern of staining developed gradually during the postnatal period. This study suggested that these alterations might reflect a region-specific role of NO and a potential developmental role in the postnatal cerebral cortex and hippocampus
