"It has been reported that NPY[neuropeptide Y]-expressing neurons in the SLM [statum lacunosum-moleculare] of area CA1 coexpress the actin-binding protein alpha-actinin-2 (Ratzliff and Soltesz, 2001). Therefore, we tested for the expression of this molecule in our recorded neurons. In 10 of 14 biocytin-filled NG [neurogliaform] cells, alpha-actinin-2 expression was observed (Fig. 2B)."
Interpretation notes: 10 of 14 positive in mixed sample of 3000 Neurogliaform and 3000p Neurogliaform projecting
"Here, we show, using single-cell RT-PCR [reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction], that the great majority of SLM [CA1 stratum lacunosum-moleculare] NG [neurogliaform] cells express mRNA for NPY [neuropeptide Y]. Unfortunately, we did not reliably detect immunologically NPY in biocytin-filled recorded neurons. Interestingly, it was reported that NPY-expressing interneurons of the SLM [stratum lacunosum-moleculare] from colchicine-treated rats coexpressed the actin-associated protein alpha-actinin-2 (Ratzliff and Soltesz, 2001). We observed that the majority of NG [CA1 neurogliaform] cells tested were immunopositive for alpha-actinin-2."
