ABSTRACT
Objective To demonstrate simultaneously on transcription and translate levels the tyrosine-hydroxylase(and somatostatin)gene expression and peptide storage in same intrinsic cardiac ganglionic neuron of bufo bufo gargarizans. Methods Using immunohistochemical method,in situ hybrodization method and in situ hybrodization/immunohistochemical double labeling method on freeze-sections of sinus venanum cavanum of bufo bufo gargarizans atrial posterior wall (30*!?m)to observe THmRNA and /or TH-IR and SSmRNA and /or SS-IR dyeing neurons of intrinsic cardiac ganglia. Results There are kinds of positive neurons:1.TH-IR positive neurons;2.THmRNA positive neurons;3.TH mRNA/TH-IR double positive neurons and 1.SS-IR positive neurons;2.SSmRNA positive neurons;3.SSmRNA/SS-IR double positive neurons.Conclusion 1.TH mRNA and TH appearing in same intrinsic cardiac ganglionic neuron demonstrate that a part of intrinsic cardiac ganglionic neurons are possibly adrenergic sympathetic neurons;2.SSmRNA positive neurons and SSmRNA/SS-IR double positive neurons indicat that SS could be a neurotransmitter of intrincic cardiac ganglinic neurons.It provides neuroanatomy evidence of regulating cardiac function(excitatory conduct、cardiac muscle secrete and contract)by intrinsic cardiac SS-nergic neuron.
