Abstract

Nitric oxide (NO) and calcium-binding proteins occur in various types of cells in the central nervous system. They are important signaling and calcium buffering molecules, respectively. In the present study, using immunocytochemistry we examined the distribution and the co-localization pattern of neurons containing neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) and parvalbumin in the visual cortex of hamster. The overall number of parvalbumin-immunoreactive (IR) neurons was 17 times higher than that of the nNOS-IR neurons in the hamster visual cortex. The highest differences were found in layer V, where parvalbumin-IR neurons were 54.7 times more abundant than nNOS-IR neurons. Many nNOS- and parvalbumin-IR neurons were similar in size, shape, and manner of distribution in the visual cortex. However, two-color immunofluorescence revealed that no neurons in the hamster visual cortex expressed both nNOS and parvalbumin. The present results indicate that there are subtle species differences in the co-localization pattern between nNOS and calcium-binding proteins. The present results also suggest not only the heterogeneity and functional diversity of nNOS-IRneurons in the visual cortex, but also the importance of understanding animal diversity

산화질소(NO)와 칼슘 결합 단백질은 중추신경계의 다양한 세포들에서 나타나며, 이들은 각각 중요 신호전달 분자와 칼슘 완충 분자이다. 본 연구는 햄스터의 시각피질에서 뇌산화질소 합성효소 (nNOS)와 parvalbumin을 포함하는 뉴런들의 분포와 이들의 co-localization 양상을 면역세포화학적 기법을 이용하여 알아보았다. 햄스터 시각피질에서 parvalbumin에 대한 면역 반응성을 나타내는 뉴런들의 전체 수는 nNOS에 대한 면역 반응성을 보이는 뉴런들의 수보다 17배나 많았다. 가장 큰 차이는 시각피질 제5충에서 발견되었으며, 이곳에서 parvalbumin-면역 반응성 뉴런이 nNOS-면역 반응성 뉴런들의 수보다 54.7배나 높았다. nNOS-또는 parvalbumin-면역 반응성 뉴런들은 크기와 형태, 분포 방식이 시각피질에서 유사하게 나타났다. 그러나 이색 면역형광 기법은 햄스터 시각피질에서 nNOS와 parvalbumin을 모두 발현하는 뉴런은 없음을 보여주었다. 본 연구의 결과는 nNOS와 칼슘 결합 단백질 사이의 co-localization양상이 종간에 차이가 존재함을 나타내며 또한 시각피질에 있는 nNOS-면역 반응성 뉴런들의 다양성과 이질성뿐만 아니라 동물 다양성 이해의 중요성을 함께 제시한다고 볼 수 있다.
