摘要
CALCITONIN gene related peptide-like immunoreactivity (CGRP-LI) was examined in rat dentate gyrus (DG) following damage to granule cells by adrenalectomy or intrahippocampal colchicine injections. In normal DG, CGRP-LI was present in a diffuse Land within the inner third of the molecular layer (ITML) and in hilar cells. Following the experimental procedures, levels of CGRP-LI increased bilaterally in the ITML and in hilar interneurons resembling messy cells. Ultrastructural analysis of the ITML revealed that CGRP-LI is associated with large, dense-core vesicles within axon terminals which form asymmetrical synapses with dendritic spines, and within dendritic spines. The increase in CGRP-LI level following granule cell damage suggests a protective role for CGRP in the response to hippocampal injury.
