摘要
Using a sensitive immunohistochemical method, the localization of the neuropeptide Y (NPY) Y1 receptor (Y1R) was studied in contralateral and ipsilateral dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons of rats subjected to different unilateral manipulations with focus on their axonal processes and projection areas. Y1R-like immunoreactivity (LI) was observed in the contralateral sciatic nerve and dorsal roots of lesioned rats, and double staining revealed colocalization with calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). Y1R-LI was also seen in fibers close to and even within the epidermis. A fairly small number of nerve endings double-labeled for Y1R and CGRP were present in the dorsal horn. After unilateral crush of the sciatic nerve Y1R- and CGRP-LI accumulated in the same axons proximal to the lesion. After dorsal rhizotomy CGRP-LI was strongly reduced in the ipsilateral dorsal horn. No certain change was observed for Y1R- or NPY-LI, but Y1R/CGRP double-labeled nerve endings disappeared after the lesion. These results strongly suggest centrifugal transport of Y1Rs in DRG neurons, mainly to the peripheral sensory branches. To what extent these Y1Rs are functional has not been analyzed here, but a recent study on Y1R null mice provides evidence for involvement of prejunctional Y1Rs in peripheral sensory functions.
