The hypothesis that serotonin (5-HT) and [Met]enkephalin-Arg6-Gly7-Leu8 (MEAGL) coexist in the rat brain stem raphe nuclei was tested by a technique combining histofluorescence with immunocytochemistry, after treatment with colchicine and nialamide. In midbrain and pons serotonergic cell groups (B5-B9), no coexistence of 5-HT and MEAGL was detected. In serotonergic cell groups of the medulla oblongata (B1-B3), only 0.3-1.5% of 5-HT-fluorescent cells were MEAGL-immunoreactive. These findings suggest that putative 5-HT and MEAGL are mostly expressed in different populations of neurons in the rat raphe nuclei.
在用秋水仙碱和尼亚酰胺处理后,通过组织荧光与免疫细胞化学相结合的技术,对5-羟色胺(5-HT)和[甲硫氨酸]脑啡肽-精氨酸6-甘氨酸7-亮氨酸8(MEAGL)在大鼠脑干中缝核中共存的假说进行了检验。在中脑和脑桥的5-羟色胺能细胞群(B5-B9)中,未检测到5-HT和MEAGL共存。在延髓的5-羟色胺能细胞群(B1-B3)中,仅0.3-1.5%的5-HT荧光细胞是MEAGL免疫反应性的。这些发现表明,假定的5-HT和MEAGL大多在大鼠中缝核的不同神经元群体中表达。
