Mammalian CPs contain a very high density of serotonin receptors, and serotonin has been shown to affect CP functions. The serotonin transporter (SERT) regulates the entire serotonergic system, including serotonin receptors by means of modulation of serotonin concen-tration in the extracellular fluid. In this study, the expression of SERT in the CPs from the brain of a mammalian species,Bubalis bubalis, was estab-lished. By immunogold labeling in scanning electron microscopy, SERT\nimmunoreactivity was found to be localized on the apical surface of the choroid epithelium. In particular, SERT positivity was detected on the apical portion of villi, and both on the membrane and in the cytoplasm of grouped cells on the surface of the choroid epithelium. Significantly, no SERT was detected in blood vessels irrigating the CPs. The expression of SERT mRNA transcripts of 440 bp in the CPs was detected by reverse-tran-scription polymerase chain reaction, and Western blotting analysis revealed the presence of three isoforms of the protein with molecular masses of approximately 70, 80, and 140 kDa, respectively, probably corresponding to\ndifferently glycosylated SERT. Our findings provide the first report of SERT detection in the CPs of buffalo brain and indicate that this protein is locally synthesized from the choroid epithelial cells. We suggest that SERT might have an important role in mammalian CPs, possibly regulating the serotonin flow between brain and rest of the body."@en ; prodottidellaricerca:prodottoDi modulo:ID2139 , istituto:CDS024 ; pubblicazioni:autoreCNR unitaDiPersonaleInterno:MATRICOLA13237 . ns11:ID124296 pubblicazioni:rivistaDi prodotto:ID19085 .
