Resumo

The present study focuses on the potential component structure of prenerve transmitter systems in cells of pre-implantation mammalian embryos. A number of classical neurotransmitters have been shown to exhibit functional activity at the early stages of the development of multicellular organisms, including mammals. The present study provides analysis of the expression of key neurotransmitter systems components during early mouse development using accessible next-generation sequencing and transcriptomics data. The findings indicate the presence of receptors and other components of numerous transmitter systems in oocytes and embryos, encompassing serotoninergic, dopaminergic, adrenergic, cholinergic, GABAergic systems, as well as glutamate and histamine systems. The observed diversity suggests the possible convergence of different transmitter systems in the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation and morphogenesis at the level of common terminal elements of intracellular signalling cascades and effectors. These results offer novel insights and directions for further research, particularly concerning the interactions between diverse transmitters and their function in regulating cellular differentiation and morphogenesis.
