Abstract
Dysbindin was first identified by the yeast two hybrid assay as a binding partner of dystrobrevin which is a cytoplasmic member of dystrophin glycoprotein complex. Immunolocalization of dystrobrevin in the astrocyte endfeet and endothelial cells in the rat cerebellum was reported. Therefore, we were interested in the expression and localization of dystrobrevin binding protein dysbindin in the mouse brain capillary wall and its surrounding astroglial endfeet. We examined whether the dysbindin expression is present in astroglial endfeet and/or capillary endothelial cells at light and electron microscopic levels. Using brain samples from five normal mice (C57BL/6ScSn), we prepared the anti-dysbindin antibody stained brain samples with immunoperoxidase method at light microscopic level and with immunogold method at ultrastructural level. Immunohistochemistry showed that dysbindin was located in the brain capillary at light microscopic level. Immunogold electron microscopy revealed that dysbindin signal was observed at the inside surface of plasma membrane of glial endfeet which surrounded the brain capillary endothelial cells and pericytes.Entities:
