Supplementary MaterialsTable_1. research reported axonal projections from TL granule cells to the most superficial coating of the tectum, the marginal coating or stratum marginale (Sala, 1895; Sajovic and Levinthal, 1982). This TL efferent connection was then traced experimentally to the optic tectum in the holostean longnose gar ([two at 20 days post-fertilization (dpf) and five adults] were also used. Prior to all experiments, animals were euthanized by methanesulfonate salt (MS222; Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO, United States) overdose. Animal handling and experimental methods conformed to Western Communitys recommendations on animal care and experimentation and were authorized by the UCL Animal Welfare Honest Review Body and the United Kingdom Home Office under the Animal (Scientific Methods) Take action 1986. Light and Electron Microscopy For light and transmission electron microscopy, two adult zebrafish were fixed by intracardial perfusion with chilly 2% paraformaldehyde and 1% glutaraldehyde in 0.1 M phosphate buffer pH 7.4 (PB), and mind were kept in the same fixative for 12 DP2.5 h at 4C. Brains were then removed, washed and kept in PB at 4C. Postfixation was made with 1% osmium tetroxide in PB for 2 h, and then brains were rinsed, dehydrated and inlayed in Spurrs resin. Sectioning was made using an ultramicrotome (Ultracut E 701704, Leica AG Reichert). Transverse semithin sections (1 m solid) through the rostral and intermediate region of the TL were collected on slides, stained with toluidine blue-borax and analyzed using light microscopy. Ultrathin sections (70-80 nm solid) were collected on formvar carbon-coated grids, stained sequentially with lead citrate and uranyl acetate and observed and photographed inside a transmission electron microscope (JEM 1010, JEOL) equipped with a digital video camera (Olympus). In addition, we used Nissl and hematoxylin-eosin stained series of transverse and longitudinal sections of the adult zebrafish mind from our selections. Immunohistochemistry For immunohistochemistry against glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), we used series of transverse sections of two adult brains immunostained Onjisaponin B having a main antibody against GAD67 (Chemicon, Temecula, CA, United States, dilution 1:1000; Code Abdominal108). The protocols and settings for Onjisaponin B GAD immunohistochemistry in the zebrafish mind were as published elsewhere (Castro et al., 2006; Folgueira et al., 2007). Briefly, zebrafish were fixed by transcardial perfusion with 4% paraformaldehyde. Their brains were cryoprotected in 30% sucrose in PB, freezing with water nitrogen, and cut on the cryostat (12 m dense). Sections had been installed on gelatinized slides, rinsed in PB saline (PBS) and incubated with regular goat serum (Sigma, 1:100) and with the principal GAD67 antibody right away. The very next day, areas had been cleaned in PBS, incubated with supplementary antibody goat anti?rabbit Onjisaponin B (Sigma; 1:100) for 1 h, cleaned in PBS, and incubated in rabbit PAP complicated (Sigma, 1:400) for 1 h. The immunoreaction originated with 0.005% diaminobenzidine (DAB; Sigma) and 0.003% H2O2. Immunofluorescence against green fluorescent proteins (GFP) in = 20) and circular, with partly condensed chromatin (Numbers 3A,B). The next nucleus type (Nu2) can be smaller sized (3.3 0.4 m; = 20), dark and circular and shown soft chromatin which was equally distributed generally, although differences in chromatin condensation can be noticed (Nu2 Onjisaponin B and Nu2, Figures 3B,C). These nuclei belong to C2 cells that are mainly located at the ventrolateral periphery of the intermediate TL, intermingled with Nu1 nuclei. As Nu1 and Nu2 are the most abundant nucleus types, they probably belong to granule cells. A third, less frequent, nucleus type (Nu3) is mainly located in dorsal and ventrolateral regions of TL (Figure 3D). They are medium-sized (5.5 1.5 m, = 7), with paler sparsely Onjisaponin B condensed chromatin and a nucleolus. These nuclei were mostly round, but some also appeared slightly flattened or even irregular (Figure 3D). Occasionally, they acquire a lobed shape because of an invagination in their nuclear envelope. These nuclei belong to larger cells (C3) that could be GABAergic interneurons, as stated earlier. Open in a separate window FIGURE 3 Fine cell structure of the adult TL.
