Neuronal inputs to hippocampal formation in Alzheimer's disease and in parkinsonism-dementia complex on Guam

Summary This study concerns the expression of synaptophysin in the hippocampal formation of normal controls, of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and of patients with parkinsonism-dementia complex on Guam (P-D complex). A monoclonal antibody was used to visualize synaptophysin, an integral component of presynaptic vesicle membranes. In the normal controls, a strong synaptophysin immunoreactivity was seen in the stratum pyramidale, stratum radiatum and stratum lacunosum-moleculare of the hippocampus proper, in the subiculum and in the molecular layer of the dentate gyrus. In the dentate gyrus molecular layer, the reaction product was distributed in a laminar fashion. By contrast, in AD and in P-D complex a significant decrease in immunoreactivity was observed in all hippocampal strata, and especially of the hippocampal subfield CA1 and the subiculum. In both diseases, synaptophysin expression was also diminished in the molecular layer of the dentate gyrus of all patients examined, with the inner portion exhibiting almost normal and the outer portion a strikingly reduced synaptophysin immunoreactivity.     

Region-specific alterations in astroglial TWIK-related acid-sensitive K+-1 channel immunoreactivity in the rat hippocampal complex following pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus

In the present study, we performed an analysis of tandem of P domains in a weak inwardly rectifying K+ channel (TWIK)-related acid-sensitive K+ (TASK)-1 channel immunoreactivity in the rat hippocampal complex following pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus (SE). In control animals, TASK-1 immunoreactivity was strongly detected in astrocytes in the hippocampal complex. One day after SE, TASK-1 immunoreactivity in astrocytes was markedly reduced only in the molecular layer of the dentate gyrus. One week after SE, loss of astrocytes was observed in the molecular layer of the dentate gyrus. At this time point, TASK-1 immunoreactive cells were detected mainly in the subgranular region. These cells had bipolar, elongated cell bodies with fusiform-shaped nuclei and showed vimentin immunoreactivity. Four weeks after SE (when spontaneous seizure developed), typical reactive astrogliosis was observed in the dentate gyrus and the CA1 region. Almost no astrocytes in the molecular layer showed TASK-1 immunoreactivity, whereas astrocytes in the CA1 region showed strong TASK-1 immunoreactivity. These findings indicate that, after SE, TASK-1 immunoreactivity was differentially altered in astrocytes located in different regions of the hippocampal complex, and these changes were caused by astroglial degeneration/regeneration. Therefore, alteration in TASK-1 immunoreactivity may contribute to acquisition of the properties of the epileptic hippocampal complex.     

Seizure-related changes in the glutamate R2 and R5 receptor genes expression in the rat hippocampal formation

Summary The expression of mRNA coding for AMPA selective glutamate (Glu) R2 receptor and kainate selective GluR5 receptor was studied in the rat hippocampal formation in two animal models of limbic seizures evoked by systemic administration of pilocarpine (400 mg/kg ip) or kainate (15 mg/kg ip). As shown by an in situ hybridization study, pilocarpine decreased the GluR2 flip mRNA level in CA1 and CA3 areas of the hippocampus after 3h and kainate after 24 h, e.g. at the time preceding neuronal degeneration. No changes in the GluR2 flop or GluR5 mRNA level were found in those regions. In the dentate gyrus, resistant to neurodegeneration, pilocarpine and kainate differentialy affected the expression of GluR2 and GluR5 mRNAs. After 72 h pilocarpine, but not kainate, increased the GluR2 flop mRNA level and decreased the flip one, which suggests attenuation of the GluR2 sensitivity. On the other hand, kainate, elevated the GluR2 flip and GluR5 mRNA level in the dentate gyrus after 72 h. All in all the above data suggest that changes in the GluR2 gene expression may play some role in the neuronal damage to vulnerable areas (CA1, CA3). However, differences in the kainate- and pilocarpine-induced changes in the dentate gyrus at the late time points indicate that alterations in the stoichiometry of GluR2 forms or GluR5 gene expression in this brain region are not a common causal factor responsible for delayed neuronal hyperexcitability.

Differential regulation of cadherins and catenins during axonal reorganization in the adult rat CNS

The cadherin family consists of several homophilic adhesion molecules that, together with their intracellular binding partners the catenins, are known to mediate axonal navigation, target recognition, and synapse formation during development. Here, we have examined the potential role of these molecules in axonal sprouting induced in the adult brain. Over a period of 3 to 60 days, an episode of pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus (SE) led to sprouting of hippocampal mossy fibers both into the CA3 pyramidal cell layer and the inner molecular layer of the dentate gyrus (DG). We found focal up-regulation of N-cadherin, beta-catenin, and alpha-catenin immunoreactivity within segments of the CA3 pyramidal cell layer with pronounced neuron loss that was associated with the development of mossy fiber sprouting. In contrast, expression of these 3 molecules was unaltered in the DG molecular layer despite mossy fiber sprouting in this area. The levels of E-cadherin immunoreactivity were altered prior to the detection of mossy fiber sprouting, with a general reduction in the neuropil and increased expression in CA1/CA3 pyramidal cell somata. Our results imply that members of the cadherin/catenin families undergo specific spatiotemporal patterns of regulation, which may be important in axon target recognition and synapse formation during lesion-induced sprouting.     

Fluorescent tracer in pilocarpine-treated rats shows widespread aberrant hippocampal neuronal connectivity

Neuronal fibres of the hippocampal formation of normal and chronic epileptic rats were investigated by fluorescent tracing methods using the pilocarpine model of limbic epilepsy. Two months after onset of spontaneous limbic seizures, hippocampal slices were prepared and maintained in vitro for 10 h. Small crystals of fluorescent dye [fluorescein (fluoro-emerald) and tetramethylrhodamine (fluoro-ruby)] were applied to different hippocampal regions. The main findings were: (i) in control rats there was no supragranular labelling when the mossy fibre tract was stained in stratum radiatum of area CA3. However, in epileptic rats a fibre network in the inner molecular layer of the dentate gyrus was retrogradely labelled; (ii) a retrograde innervation of area CA3 by CA1 pyramidal cells was disclosed by labelling remote CA1 neurons after dye injection into the stratum radiatum of area CA3 in chronic epileptic rats; (iii) labelling of CA1 neurons apart from the injection site within area CA1 was observed in epileptic rats but not in control animals; and (iv), a subicular-hippocampal projection was present in pilocarpine-treated rats when the tracer was injected just below the stratum pyramidale of area CA1. The findings show that fibre rearrangement in distinct regions of the epileptic hippocampal formation can occur as an aftermath of pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus.

Glucose metabolism and neurogenesis in the gerbil hippocampus after transient forebrain ischemia

Recent evidence exists that glucose transporter 3 (GLUT3) plays an important role in the energy metabo-lism in the brain. Most previous studies have been conducted using focal or hypoxic ischemia models and have focused on changes in GLUT3 expression based on protein and mRNA levels rather than tissue levels. In the present study, we observed change in GLUT3 immunoreactivity in the adult gerbil hippocampus at various time points after 5 minutes of transient forebrain ischemia. In the sham-operated group, GLUT3 immunoreactivity in the hippocampal CA1 region was weak, in the pyramidal cells of the CA1 region in-creased in a time-dependent fashion 24 hours after ischemia, and in the hippocampal CA1 region decreased signiifcantly between 2 and 5 days after ischemia, with high level of GLUT3 immunoreactivity observed in the CA1 region 10 days after ischemia. In a double immunolfuorescence study using GLUT3 and gli-al-ifbrillary acidic protein (GFAP), we observed strong GLUT3 immunoreactivity in the astrocytes. GLUT3 immunoreactivity increased after ischemia and peaked 7 days in the dentate gyrus after ischemia/reperfu-sion. In a double immunolfuorescence study using GLUT3 and doublecortin (DCX), we observed low level of GLUT3 immunoreactivity in the differentiated neuroblasts of the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus after ischemia. GLUT3 immunoreactivity in the sham-operated group was mainly detected in the subgran-ular zone of the dentate gyrus. These results suggest that the increase in GLUT3 immunoreactivity may be a compensatory mechanism to modulate glucose level in the hippocampal CA1 region and to promote adult neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus.     

Parvalbumin- and calbindin D28k-immunoreactive neurons in the hippocampal formation of the macaque monkey.

Calcium-binding proteins calbindin D28k (CaBP) and parvalbumin (PV) were localized in neurons of the monkey hippocampal formation. CaBP immunoreactivity is present in all granule cells and in a large proportion of CA1 and CA2 pyramidal neurons, as well as in a distinct population of local circuit neurons. In the dentate gyrus, CaBP-immunoreactive nongranule cells are present in the molecular layer and in the hilar region, but they do not include the pyramidal basket cells at the hilar border. In the Ammon's horn, CaBP-positive, nonpyramidal neurons are more frequent in the CA3 area than in any other parts of the hippocampal formation. They are concentrated in the strata oriens and pyramidale of areas CA1-3, whereas only a few small neurons were found in the strata lucidum and radiatum of CA3 and in the stratum moleculare of the CA1 area. PV is exclusively present in local circuit neurons both in the dentate gyrus and in Ammon's horn. In the dentate gyrus the presumed basket cells at the hilar border exhibit PV immunoreactivity. In the hilar region and molecular layer only a relatively small number of cells are immunoreactive for PV. Most of these PV-positive cell bodies are located in the inner half of the molecular layer, with occasional horizontal cells at the hippocampal fissure. In Ammon's horn, strata oriens and pyramidale of areas CA1-3 contain a large number of PV-positive cells. There are no PV-immunoreactive cells in the strata lucidum, radiatum, or lacunosum moleculare. The CaBP- and PV-containing neurons form different subpopulations of cells in the monkey hippocampal formation. With the exception of a basket cell type in the monkey dentate gyrus, the CaBP- and PV-positive cell types were found to be remarkably similar in rodents and primates.
