A single allatostatin-immunoreactive neuron innervates skeletal muscles of several segments in the locust

Abstract: In the nervous system of embryos and adult Locusta migratoria, somata, neurites within the ganglia, and axons leaving the thoracic ganglia show allatostatin immunoreactivity. The immunoreactive efferent axons divide to follow different nerve branches and form varicose terminals on skeletal muscles. In the adult locust, one pair of motor neurons is particularly prominent among the allatostatin-immunoreactive neurons. The somata are located symmetrically in a lateral position in the first abdominal neuromere of … Show more

“…The Journal of Experimental Biology (2014) Allatostatin immunoreactivity has been well documented in the nervous systems of insects with AST-IR cell bodies routinely found in the brain and abdominal ganglia (Skiebe et al, 2006;Žitňan et al, 1993;Kreissl et al, 1999;Lange et al, 1993;Hernández-Martínez et al, 2005). In C. riparius larvae, the brain contains at least five paired AST-IR cell bodies at the anterior edge of the frontal lobes (Fig.…”

“…Immunocytochemistry has revealed the wide distribution of these peptides in the nervous system of some species. Immunoreactivity has been found in the retrocerebral complex of the brain, in thoracic and abdominal ganglia (AG), in nerves innervating visceral and skeletal muscles, in midgut cells and in neurohaemal organs (Veelaert et al 1995;Yoon and Stay 1995;Maestro et al 1998;Rankin et al 1998;Kreissl et al 1999). Accumulating data from both insects and crustaceans indicate that ASTs have many different functions: in addition to the inhibition of JH biosynthesis, they might also be involved in the modulation of muscle contractions, sensory neurons and neural circuits (Hertel and Penzlin 1992;Lange et al 1993;Skiebe and Schneider 1994;Jorge-Rivera and Marder 1997;Jorge-Rivera et al 1998;Dircksen et al 1999;Rankin et al 1998;Kreissl et al 1999;Birmingham et al 2003;Sarkar et al 2003).…”

“…However, in contrast to the antennal heart nerves in which fibres demonstrate strong immunoreactivity to antibodies against AST, AST-like peptides have been found neither in the oviducts nor in the sternal nerves and the last AG of Schistocerca gregaria and Locusta migratoria (Veelaert et al 1995). However, Veelaert et al (1995) used antibodies against AST-5 of Diploptera punctata and antisera against different ASTs may stain different populations of neurons that contain different AST isoforms (Kreissl et al 1999). In the current study, a polyclonal antibody against AST-1 of D. punctata (Dip-AST 1) has been used to demonstrate the distribution of AST-like immunoreactive (AST-ir) neurons in the AG, abdominal connectives, peripheral nerves and oviduct of the locust, S. gregaria.…”

“…The results described above show that, in the intersegmental nervous system, there are neurons that innervate more than one muscle, in addition to the DUM1B neuron [and possible axon collaterals of an allatostatin-immunoreactive cell (Kreissl et al, 1999); we never encountered any indication for those in our preparations]. One neuron clearly innervates M59, M81 and M82.…”
