The progression of deafferentation as a retrograde reaction to hypoglossal nerve injury
Tóm tắt
This study examined the fate of axon terminals of one of the major sources of hypoglossal afferents, the spinal V nucleus, after XIIth nerve resection in adult Sprague-Dawley rats. In order to anterogradely label trigemino-hypoglossal projections, small quantities of horse radish peroxidase were pressure-injected into the ipsilateral dorsal (mandibular) portion of the spinal V nucleus two days before the animals were killed. Survival periods ranged from 5 to 33 days after nerve injury (dpo). Axonal injury produced relative changes in the association of labelled axon terminals to structures in the hypoglossal nucleus on the injured side. The proportion of horse radish peroxidase-labelled spinal V nucleus terminals with spherical vesicles (S-terminals) that were unapposed to hypoglossal somata or dendrites increased rapidly and reached maximal levels by 11 dpo. By contrast, the isolation of labelled terminals with pleomorphic/flattened vesicles (P/F-terminals) from postsynaptic structures began later, advanced at a slower rate and did not attain maximal levels until 20 dpo. S-terminals not apposed to neuronal cell parts increased at a rate of 2.2 times greater than unapposed P/F-terminals. In addition, at peak levels, the proportion of labelled S-terminals that were detached from somata and dendrites was significantly greater than unapposed, labelled P/F-terminals. Axotomy did not alter the caliber of the labelled axon terminals. However, by 29 days after axotomy, the average diameter of dendrites remaining in contact with SPVN terminals was 1/3 the diameter of dendrites of uninjured neurons apposed to labelled axon terminals. These findings provide the morphological correlate for physiological and pharmacological evidence that the effectiveness of excitatory and inhibitory synapses are down-regulated in a coordinated manner after hypoglossal nerve injury.
