In the European sea bass a marine fish, two ligands and two receptors encoded by four different genes have been identified and molecularly characterized. This study was conducted in the brain and it aimed to map the kiss systems and identify their correlation with kisspeptin receptors (kiss-r1 and kiss-r2). The use of kiss2 specific antibodies, confirms that kiss2 neurons are mainly located in the hypothalamus and widely projected to the subpallium and pallium, the preoptic region, the thalamus, the pretectal area, the optic tectum, the torus semicircularis, the mediobasal medial and caudal hypothalamus and the neurohypophysis. These results were compared to the expression of kiss-r1 and kissr2 mRNAs by in situ hybridization showing a tight correlation between the wide distribution of kiss2-positive fibers and that of kiss-r2 expressing cells. The kiss-r2 messengers were highly expressed in ventral telencephalon and the preoptic area where kiss2 projections were also observed. Additionally, in the mediobasal hypothalamus, kiss-r2 expressing cells were detected in the ventral part of the nucleus of the lateral recess (NRLv), in line with the localization of kiss2 projections and the immunodetection of kiss2 cells. Instead, kiss-r1 was more limited to the habenula, the ventral telencephalon and the proximal pars distalis of the pituitary. Finally, as showed by our double staining experiments, GnRH1 neurons in the preoptic area did not appear to express kiss-r1 or kiss-r2 messengers. Our findings present detailed information regarding kiss2 fibers localization which suggest that kisspeptins are likely involved in neuronal systems related to several functions in the brain of sea bass. | Descripción: | Resumen del trabajo presentado en el 17th International Congress of Comparative Endocrinology (ICCE 2013), celebrado en Barcelona (España) del 15 al 19 de julio de 2013. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/253639 |
