摘要
Previous studies have demonstrated the critical role glutamate plays in the hypothalamus, both in the developing and adult brain. The expression of metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) mRNA (mGluR1-8) was studied in the suprachiasmatic (SCN) and arcuate (ARC) nuclei. Using reverse Northern blots and cDNA-PCR, we found that all eight cloned mGluRs were expressed in these brain regions. Most had not previously been detected here. Surprisingly, this included mGluRs that had previously been thought to be restricted to the retina, such as mGluR6. We also detected, cloned, and sequenced a splice variant of mGluR7 (mGluR7b). Developmentally, the age of maximal expression of mGluRs was dependent on the region. For instance, mGluR5 was more strongly expressed in neonatal ARC than in adult, whereas the opposite was true in the SCN. Compared with P10 neonates, mGluR1, R3, R6, R7a, R7b, and R8 showed a greater expression in adult SCN and ARC. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
