Abstract
The expression and spatial distribution of secretin and its receptor in human cerebellum were investigated by in situ hybridization and immunohistochemical techniques. Secretin mRNAs are found in Purkinje cells whereas secretin receptor transcripts are present in Purkinje cells and basket cells in the molecular cell layer. In addition, secretin-immunoreactivities are localized in both the soma and dendrites of Purkinje cells. These data are the first demonstration of the spatial distribution of secretin and its receptor in distinct neurons within the human cerebellum. The cellular localizations of this ligand-receptor pair are consistent with the proposed actions of secretin in the cerebellum of rodents and hence suggest that secretin also serves specific neural functions in the human cerebellum. © 2005 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.
