Dendritic synthesis and release of the neuropeptide galanin: morphological evidence from studies on rat locus coeruleus neurons

Abstract

Dendritic synthesis and release of neuropeptides have been demonstrated in hypothalamic neurosecretory neurons. Here we tested whether this mechanism may be applicable to galanin in rat locus coeruleus (LC) neurons. Light and electron microscopic immunocytochemistry demonstrated the occurrence of galanin peptide in secretory granules within dendritic processes. In situ hybridization at the light and electron microscopic level showed galanin mRNA in these LC processes. Moreover, the levels of the transcript and its extension into the dendrites were significantly increased by reserpine treatment. Finally, evidence for exocytotic release from large dense-core vesicles in LC dendrites was obtained by using tannic acid-treated slices. Taken together, these results indicate that galanin can be synthesized in, and possibly released from, LC. These data support a key function of the neuropeptide galanin as an auto-paracrine local modulator in a major, strongly divergent monoaminergic regulatory system.

  • Most cortical glutamatergic neurons have locally ramifying axon branches and may secrete neuropeptides from their local dendritic arbors.

    “Even so, most cortical glutamatergic neurons also have locally ramifying axon branches and may also secrete neuropeptides from their local dendritic arbors (Vila-Porcile et al., 2009).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
