Glycine receptors are ligand-gated chloride-selective channels that control excitability in the central nervous system (CNS). Herein, we have investigated the mRNA expression of the glycine receptor alpha 1 (Glra1), alpha 2 (Glra2), alpha 4 (Glra4) and the beta (Glrb) subunits, in adult female and male mice. Single-cell RNA sequencing data re-analysis of the Zeisel et al.

Article Synopsis
  • * Electrophysiological tests showed that these Urocortin 3 neurons are influenced by both inhibitory local inputs and receive inputs from various sensory fibers, which are critical for mechanosensation.
  • * Activation or inhibition of these neurons leads to observable behaviors, suggesting they play a key role in response to mechanical stimuli like scratching and specific chemical sensations.

Glycinergic neurons regulate nociceptive and pruriceptive signaling in the spinal cord, but the identity and role of the glycine-regulated neurons are not fully known. Herein, we have characterized spinal glycine receptor alpha 3 () subunit-expressing neurons in -Cre female and male mice. -Cre(+) neurons express , are located mainly in laminae III-VI, and respond to glycine.

Article Synopsis
  • The glycinergic system is crucial for inhibiting excitability in mouse spinal neurons related to itch and pain; impairments in glycine receptors can lead to motor and sensory issues.
  • Research focused on the mRNA expression of the glycine receptor alpha 3 (Glra3) in various brain regions and peripheral organs of mice, revealing its low but widespread presence.
  • Findings indicate that male mice exhibit significantly higher levels of Glra3 expression in several brain areas compared to female mice, highlighting notable sex-dependent differences.
