We quantified the inhibitory modulating cannabinoid receptor (CB1), GABA vesicular transporter (VGAT), GABA synthesizing enzymes (GAD65/GAD67), GABAA receptor anchoring protein (Gephyrin), and GABAA receptor subunits (GABAA? | |||||||||||||||

|
To quantify changes in the balance between the mechanisms that produce and traffic GABA in the pre-synaptic terminal, we calculated an index of GAD65:VGAT expression. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
To further examine how the pre-synaptic components of the GABAergic system change across the lifespan in human V1, we quantified the expression of two key inhibitory proteins, CB1 and VGAT (Figure 2). | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
VGAT expression was highest in infants (<1 year) and pre-teens (511 years), and had about 32% less expression in adults (2155 years; p <? | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
In the second stage, the teenage transition was a switch from a greater capacity for trafficking GABA (more VGAT) to a greater capacity to produce the on-demand pool of GABA (more GAD65). | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Interestingly, in the human airway epithelium there is no VGAT expression, suggesting GABA is released from airway epithelial cells in a vesicle independent fashion [18]. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
In regard to transporters, there was no GAT-3 and VGAT expression in human large and small airway epithelium. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
There was more VGAT expression in both young children (<11 years) and older adults (>55 years; Figure 3). | |||||||||||||||
