Expression of ionotropic glutamate receptors, AMPA, kainite andNMDA, in the pigeon retina
2015, Experimental Eye ResearchCitation Excerpt :The GluK1 subunit was primarily expressed in the outer half of INL, whereas eight of the nine subunits were primarily expressed in the inner half of INL. This heterogeneous distribution of glutamate receptor subunit mRNA within INL has been reported in the mammalian retina (Hamassaki-Britto et al., 1993; Brandstätter et al., 1994; Watanabe et al., 1994). For example, in the rat, GluA3 is expressed in the inner one-third of INL, GluA4 is expressed on the outer edge of INL, and GluK1 is expressed in the outer two-thirds of INL (Hamassaki-Britto et al., 1993).
NR2C and NR2D subunits of NMDA receptors in frog and turtle retina
2012, Acta HistochemicaCitation Excerpt :In the human retina, 86% and 84% of all ganglion cells express mRNAs coding for the NR2C and NR2D subunits respectively (Lagrèze et al., 2000). However, other authors (Watanabe et al., 1994) did not find any expression of mRNA for these subunits in mouse retina. The question arises regarding the distribution of NR2C and NR2D subunits in lower vertebrate retinas, in species where the presence of NMDA receptors has been proved both immunocytochemically in relation to the NR1 subunit (Vandenbranden et al., 2000; Yazulla and Studholme, 2001; Klooster et al., 2009; Vitanova, 2011), and electrophysiologically (Mittman et al., 1990; Lukasiewicz et al., 1995; Velte et al., 1997).
Selective inner retinal dysfunction in growth hormone transgenic mice
2011, Growth Hormone and IGF ResearchCitation Excerpt :Indeed, within the brain, GH is known to modulate the synthesis, release or degradation of adrenergic, serotoninergic and cholinergic neurotransmitters [2]. Further, the presence of GHRs in the rodent inner retina [1,12], in sites in which NMDA [50] or AMPA [51] receptors are expressed supports the possibility that GH may directly modulate the signaling of glutamate in the retina [52], as GH does in the mouse hippocampus [5]. This is strengthened by the finding that glutamate signaling is very likely to be involved in the generation of the OPs [53].
Early maturation of GABAergic synapses in mouse retinal ganglion cells
2008, International Journal of Developmental NeuroscienceThe effect of competitive antagonist chain length on NMDA receptor subunit selectivity
2005, NeuropharmacologyCitation Excerpt :Potentially, both observations could be explained by the difference in antagonist affinities between NR2A and NR2B, or between NR2B and NR2D, or between NR2A and NR2D, with the latter member of each pair showing reduced affinity for the longer chain antagonist. The red nucleus predominately contains NR2A subunit mRNA (Watanabe et al., 1994) and also contains moderately low concentrations of NR2D subunit mRNA (Buller et al., 1994). Thus, an NR2D (or possibly NR2B) subunit contribution to NMDA receptors of the corticorubral synapse could explain the relative lack of effect of CPP and AP7 on the corticorubral synaptic response.
