ABSTRACT
Based on a previous study by others reporting that PIP5Kγ (phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase γ) and its product, phosphatidylinositol 4,5 bisphosphate (PIP2 ), are involved in the regulation of nociception, the present immunohistochemical study examined the localization of PIP5Kγ-immunoreactivity in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and their peripheral and central terminal fields. PIP5Kγ-immunoreactivity was localized for the first time in the muscle spindles, in which it was found in I-bands of polar regions of intrafusal muscle fibers and also in sensory nerve terminals abutting on equatorial regions of the muscle fibers. This finding indicates the involvement of PIP5Kγ in the proprioception and suggests somehow complicated mechanisms of its involvement because of its heterogeneous localization in intra-I-band structures. In DRG, on the other hand, PIP5Kγ-immunoreactivity was shown to be localized heterogeneously, but not evenly, over apposed plasma membranes of both neurons and ganglionic satellite cells in immune electron microscopy. In addition, no peripheral nerve terminals of DRG showing its distinct immunoreactivity were found in most peripheral fields of nociception and any other sensory perception except for the proprioception through muscle spindles. In contrast, numerous central terminals of DRG in the spinal posterior horn were immunoreactive for it. This finding leads us to consider the possibility that the regulation by PIP5Kγ of nociception is dominantly exerted in DRG and sensory neural tracts central, rather than peripheral, to DRG.
