Research Abstract	神経内分泌細胞におけるpituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide(PACAP),nitric oxide synthase(NOS),およびグルタミン酸(Glu)とそのレセプターであるN-methyl-D-aspartate(NMDA)の機能的意義を追求するために,上記酵素活性化物質ならびにそれらの関連物質の超微局在を免疫電顕的に観察し以下のような結果を得た. PACA様免疫陽性軸索終末がラット視床下部の視索上核や室傍核に多数分布し,神経内分泌細胞の細胞体やその突起にシナプスを形成しているのが観察された。またPACAPレセプター(PACAP-R)様免疫陽性反応は視床下部全域に点状に分布し,特に視索上核や室傍核に多数みられた.免疫電顕でPACAP-R様免疫反応は神経内分泌細胞の形質膜とくにシナプス形成部位のシナプス後膜にみられた.以上の結果から,PACAP含有ニューロンは視床下部の神経分泌ニューロンにシナプスを介して直接神経支配している可能性が示唆された. NOSニューロンについては背側縫線核領域で観察し,NOSニューロンはセロトニン・ニューロンとよく似た分布を示し,NOS様免疫陽性終末が他のニューロンにシナプスを形成している所見を得た.視床下部領域におけるNOSニューロンの詳細については現在観察中である. GluニューロンとNMDA型Gluレセプター(MNDA-R1)について免疫電顕的に観察し,ラット視床下部室周囲核において,NMDA-R1免疫陽性突起にGlu免疫陽性およびGlu免疫陰性の両方の軸索終末がシナプスを形成しているのを観察した.そのほかに,GABA様免疫陽性終末がNMDA-R1様免疫陽性樹状突起にシナプスを形成しているのも観察された.以上から,NMDA-R1含有ニューロンは興奮性および抑制性アミノ酸ニューロンによって神経支配されていることが明らかになった.
