Understanding the physiological role of tachykinins requires
precise cellular and subcellular localization of their receptors. We
raised antisera by immunizing rabbits with peptides corresponding to
portions of the intracellular tails of the rat neurokinin 1, 2, and 3 receptors (NK1-R, NK2-R, NK3-R). Receptors were localized by
immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy. NK1-R, NK2-R, and NK3-R
were detected at the plasma membrane of transfected cells with minimal
intracellular stores. Staining was abolished by preabsorption of the
antisera with the peptides used for immunization. Nontransfected cells
were unstained. Each antiserum only stained cells transfected with the
appropriate receptor and did not stain cells transfected with the other
receptors. Therefore, the antisera are specific and do not cross-react
with other neurokinin receptors. We examined the distribution of the
neurokinin receptors in the gastrointestinal tract of the rat. NK1-R
was detected in myenteric and submucosal neurons and in interstitial
cells of Cajal. NK2-R was localized to circular and longitudinal muscle
cells and to nerve endings in the plexuses. NK3-R was detected in
numerous myenteric and submucosal neurons. Some neurons expressed both
NK1-R and NK3-R. Receptors were detected at the plasma membrane and in
endosomes. Cells expressing the receptors were closely associated with
tachykinin-containing nerve fibers. Thus, NK1-R and NK3-R mediate
neurotransmission by tachykinins within enteric nerve plexuses, and
NK1-R and NK2-R mediate the effects of tachykinins on interstitial and
smooth muscle cells, respectively.
