Localization and expression of the Mas-related G-protein coupled receptor member D (MrgD) in the mouse brain
Numerous studies in the last decades have provided evidence for the existence of a local renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in the central nervous system (CNS). Widespread distribution of the different RAS components in the brain demonstrates the pleiotropic role of this system in the structure and func...

Numerous studies in the last decades have provided evidence for the existence of a local renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in the central nervous system (CNS). Widespread distribution of the different RAS components in the brain demonstrates the pleiotropic role of this system in the structure and function of CNS. With the advent of new molecular techniques, a novel receptor has been identified within the beneficial arm of the RAS, the Mas-related G-protein coupled receptor D (MrgD), which can be stimulated by two heptapeptides, Ala1-(Ang-(1-7), also named alamandine, and Ang-(1-7). However, the biological and physiological relevance of this interaction remains obscure. Since several recent studies hinted at a role of MrgD in the CNS, we determined the distribution pattern of MrgD receptors in the adult mouse brain by using a genetic mouse model with tracers of MrgD expression. MrgD-positive cells could be identified in some forebrain areas, including cortex, hippocampus, amygdala, hypothalamus, habenular nuclei, striatum and pallidum, as well as in some mid-brain nuclei in a region-specific manner. The specific localization of MrgD in the reward- and limbic-related areas can hint at a role of MrgD in processes such as pain perception/modulation, synaptic plasticity, learning, memory and cognition. |
