Analysis of expression of cholecystokinin in dopamine cells in the ventral mesencephalon of several species and in humans with schizophrenia.

Abstract: The ventral mesencephalons of hamster, guinea pig, cat, monkey, and several humans with and without the diagnosis of schizophrenia were analyzed with in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry. Extensive codistribution of cholecystokinin mRNA and tyrosine hydroxylase [L-tyrosine, tetrahydropteridine: oxygen oxidoreductase (3-hydroxylating), EC 1.14.16.2] mRNA was observed in cats and monkeys as well as in all five human subjects with the diagnosis of schizophrenia and in two out of five control brains.

“…All brains were cut in five parallel series (20 m, coronal sections), with every fifth section being thawmounted on the same glass slide. Sections were stored at Ϫ 20 Њ C until use.The following oligonucleotide DNA probes were used for in situ hybridization.CCK ( The specificity of these oligonucleotides has been described in detail elsewhere (Kononen et al 1995;Schalling et al 1990).

“…This has led to speculation that CCK may play a role in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia (Nemeroff and Bissette 1992;Nair et al 1986). Support for this has come from studies showing significantly lower CCK levels in the cerebrospinal fluid (Beinfeld and Garver 1991;Verbanck et al 1984) and postmortem brains (Schalling et al 1990) of drugfree schizophrenia patients as compared to matched controls.…”
