Abstract
In the present study, we performed immunohistochemical studies to investigate the detailed distribution of insulin-like growth factor binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) in the central nervous system of adult rats. Twelve adult (4~6 month old) Sprague-Dawley rats were examined in this study. Immunohistochemistry using specific antibodies against IGFBP7 was performed in accordance with the free-floating method. In the present study, IGFBP7 immunoreactivity was observed in the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, brainstem, cerebellum and spinal cord. In the cerebral cortex, heavily stained neurons were seen in layers II-VI. In the hippocampus, pyramidal cells in CA1-3 region were strongly immunoreactive for IGFBP7. Strong immunoreactive neurons were also found in the supraoptic nucleus, paraventricular nucleus, periaqueductal gray and oculomotor nucleus. In the cerebellum, IGFBP7 immunoreactivity was prominent in the Purkinje cells and cerebellar output neurons. IGFBP7-immunoreactive neurons were prominent in the superior vestibular nucleus, cochlear nucleus, trigeminal motor nucleus, nucleus of the trapezoid, and facial nucleus. IGFBP7-immunoreactive neurons were also observed mainly in the anterior horn of the spinal cord. The first demonstration of IGFBP7 localization in the whole brain may provide useful data for the future investigations on the structural and functional properties of IGFBP7.
본 연구에서는 흰쥐 중추신경계에서 insulin-like growth factor binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) 의 분포를 규명하고자 면역조직화학적 연구를 시행하였다. 실험에는 4~6개월 된 성숙 흰쥐가 사용되었고 IGFBP7에 대한 항체를 이용하여 면역조직염색을 실시하였다. 연구결과, IGFBP7 면역염색성은 대뇌 겉질, 해마, 뇌줄기, 소뇌 및 척수에서 관찰이 되었다. 대뇌 겉질에서는 겉질의 II~VI층에서, 해마에서는 CA1-3 부위의 피라미드 세포들에서 IGFBP7에 대해 강한 면역염색성을 나타내는 신경세포들이 관찰되었다. 시각로위핵, 뇌실곁핵, 중간뇌수도관주위회색질 및 눈돌림신경핵에서도 강한 면역염색성을 나타내는 신경세포들이 발견되었다. 소뇌에서는 조롱박세포와 소뇌핵 신경세포에서, 뇌줄기에서는 위안뜰핵, 달팽이핵, 삼차신경 운동핵, 마름체핵 및 얼굴신경핵에서 IGFBP7 면역염색성을 나타내는 신경세포들이 관찰되었다.척수에서는 주로 앞뿔에 위치하는 운동신경세포에서 강한 면역염색성을 나타냈다. 본 연구에서 밝혀진 IGFBP7의 중추신경계 분포는 앞으로의 구조적, 기능적 연구에 유용한 자료가 될 것이라 사료된다.
