Abstract

Currently, compared to jaw-closing (JC) α-motoneurons, the information on the distribution and morphology of glutamatergic synapses on the jaw-closing (JC) γ-motoneurons, which may help elucidate the mechanism of isometric contraction of the JC muscle, is very limited. This study investigated the distribution and ultrastructural features of vesicular glutamate transporter 1 (VGLUT1)- and VGLUT2-immunopositive (+) axon terminals (boutons) on JC γ-motoneurons by retrograde tracing with horseradish peroxidase, electron microscopic immunocytochemistry, and quantitative analysis. About 35% of the boutons on identified JC γ-motoneurons were VGLUT+, and of those, 99% were VGLUT2+. The fraction of VGLUT1+ boutons of all boutons and the percentage of membrane of JC γ-motoneurons covered by these boutons were significantly lower than those for the JC α-motoneurons, revealed in our previous work. The bouton volume, mitochondrial volume, and active zone area of the VGLUT2+ boutons on the JC γ-motoneurons were uniformly small. These findings suggest that the JC γ-motoneurons, in contrast to the JC α-motoneurons, receive generally weak glutamatergic synaptic input almost exclusively from VGLUT2+ premotoneurons that form direct synapse with motoneurons.

摘要

目前,与闭口(JC)α运动神经元相比,关于闭口(JC)γ运动神经元上谷氨酸能突触的分布和形态的信息非常有限,而这些信息可能有助于阐明JC肌肉等长收缩的机制。本研究通过辣根过氧化物酶逆行追踪、电子显微镜免疫细胞化学和定量分析,研究了JCγ运动神经元上囊泡谷氨酸转运体1(VGLUT1)和VGLUT2免疫阳性(+)轴突终末(终扣)的分布和超微结构特征。在已鉴定的JCγ运动神经元上,约35%的终扣为VGLUT阳性,其中99%为VGLUT2阳性。所有终扣中VGLUT1阳性终扣的比例以及这些终扣覆盖的JCγ运动神经元膜的百分比,均显著低于我们之前工作中所揭示的JCα运动神经元的相应比例。JCγ运动神经元上VGLUT2阳性终扣的终扣体积、线粒体体积和活性区面积均较小。这些发现表明,与JCα运动神经元相比,JCγ运动神经元通常仅从与运动神经元形成直接突触的VGLUT2阳性运动前神经元接收较弱的谷氨酸能突触输入。
