Topographical distribution of neurons containing endothelin type A receptor in the rat brain

Abstract

Endothelin (ET) was originally identified as a vasoactive peptide biosynthesized in vascular endothelial cells. Because ET has also been found in the brain as a neuropeptide, it has been thought to belong to the group of brain-vascular peptide hormones. To date, type A and type B receptors for ET have been found. To elucidate the topographic distribution of type A receptor (ET-AR) in the brain, we raised a specific antibody to the C-terminal (64 amino acids) peptide of rat ET-AR and immunostained rat brain sections with this antibody. Immunoreactivity for ET-AR was detected in neuronal cell bodies and also in the many proximal and some distal parts of their fibers. Nerve cell bodies containing strong ET-AR-immunoreactivity were distributed in the lateral part of the reticular formation, the nucleus of the solitary tract and its surrounding area, the dorsal midline area and medial longitudinal fasciculus, the subependymal layer of the fourth ventricular roof, the caudolateral area of the pontine tegmentum, the locus coeruleus, the rostral pontine area of the lateral reticular formation, the retrorubral area, the substantia nigra, the ventral tegmental area, the periventricular region lateral to the rostral mesencephalic aqueduct...Continue Reading
