Tóm tắt

Connexin36 (Cx36) là thành phần của các khớp nối khoảng trống (GJ) trên toàn bộ não, kết nối các neuron thành các đồng bộ chức năng. Tại võng mạc, chúng là cơ sở cho việc truyền tải, trung bình hóa và tương quan tín hiệu trước khi chuyển thông tin thị giác đến não. Đây là nghiên cứu đầu tiên mô tả các khớp nối GJ của tế bào lưỡng cực (BC) trong võng mạc trong, của người, mà chức năng của chúng vẫn còn bí ẩn ngay cả trong các mô hình động vật đã được nghiên cứu. Hơn nữa, một số đặc điểm độc đáo (ví dụ: fovea, trichromacy, hệ thống midget) đòi hỏi phải kiểm tra lại các kết quả từ mô hình động vật trong võng mạc người. Các mẫu người bảo quản tốt sau khi qua đời trong nghiên cứu này cho phép xác định hóa sinh các BC biểu hiện Cx36. Kết quả cho thấy rằng cả nội tế bào theo đường que và đường chóp đều thể hiện biểu hiện Cx36 mạnh mẽ. Đầu vào BC que tới các tế bào amacrine AII (AC) xuất hiện kế bên GJs AII, do đó gợi ý về việc BC que nhắm vào các tế bào AII theo cách chiến lược. Các BC chóp phục vụ cho các đường truyền tín hiệu midget, parasol hoặc koniocellular thể hiện rất nhiều Cx36 để hình thành các mạng lưới nối tương đồng. Ngoài ra, chúng cũng thiết lập các liên kết GJ dị đồng để phục vụ việc trao đổi thông tin giữa các dòng tín hiệu song song. Đáng chú ý, một biểu hiện Cx36 nổi bật được thể hiện bởi các BC của hệ thống midget, có vẻ như duy trì các liên lạc mật thiết với các BC hai lớp phục vụ cho các đường dẫn khác. Những phát hiện này gợi ý rằng các GJ của BC trong các dòng tín hiệu song song phục vụ cho cả việc trao đổi tín hiệu nội bộ và giữa các đường dẫn trong võng mạc người.
