| Research Abstract |
The immunohistochemical analysis of motoneurons (MNs) in the trigeminal motor nucleus that innervates jaw-closing muscles revealed that TASK1 and TASK3 are complementary expressed in the soma and dendrites of MNs, respectively. The real-time RT PCR revealed that large MNs (>35 microm) expressed more TASK1/cell and TASK3 compared to small MNs (<20 microm). Consequently, larger MNs had smaller input resistance (IR) and more hyperpolarized resting membrane potentials (RMP) compared to smaller MNs. PKG activation enhanced TASK1 activity while it inhibited TASK3 activity. As the MN size becomes smaller, PKG activation more decreased the IR and hyperpolarized the RMP. The frequency distribution of sizes of alpha-MNs was found to display a bimodal distribution composed of smaller and larger alpha-MNs while gamma-MNs displayed a unimodal patter of smaller size. These finding provide crucial molecular and cellular bases of the rank-ordered recruitment of motor units in the jaw-closing movement.
