摘要
采用原位杂交方法对不同品级拟黑多刺蚁(Polyrhachis vicina)脑部雌激素相关受体pvERRmRNA的表达进行了检测.结果表明,pvERRmRNA在不同品级的蕈形体、附叶、视叶、中脑、食道下神经节和球状细胞中都有表达.蚁后蕈形体和球状细胞中pvERRmRNA的阳性表达最为明显;工蚁中脑pvERR mRNA的阳性反应强度明显高于蚁后和雄蚁;pvERR mRNA在雄蚁视叶中有较强的表达.pvERR mRNA在不同品级的拟黑多刺蚁脑部的表达差异可能与它们各自在蚁群中的功能和行为有关.
The expression of pvERR mRNA in the brain of different caste of Polyrhachis vicina was detected by in situ hybridization method. The results showed that pvERR mRNA has broad expression pattern in the brain of different castes, which can be detected in mushroom body, accessory lobe, optic lobes, deutocerebrum, suboesophageal ganglion and kenyon cells. Strongly positive expression was detected in mushroom body and kenyon cells in brain of queen ant. Compared with queen ant, the expression degree of pvERR mRNA is stronger in the deutocerebrum of worker ant, but other parts are equivalent. Compared with queen and worker ants, the degree of pvERR expression is weaker in mushroom body, accessory lobe and suboesophageal ganglion of male ants, but stronger expression was found in optic lobes.
