Somatostatin (SS) is implicated in neuroendocrine, motor, and higher cortical brain functions (Reichlin, 1983). Cortical SS levels are selectively reduced in Alzheimer's disease and Parkinsonian dementia, while striatal concentrations are increased in Huntington's disease (Reichlin, 1983; Epelbaum et al., 1983). Autoradiographic visualization may permit SS receptor characterization in normal and diseased brain but lipophilicity and instability of ligands has hampered such efforts. Binding studies facilitated by stable and hydrophilic analogs such as [Leu8-D-Trp 22, Tyr25] SS-28 (LTT), have characterized brain SS receptors with picomolar affinity (Reubi et al., 1981; Perry et al., 1983). Using 125I-LTT as well as 125I-Tyr11SS we now report the autoradiographic visualization of SS receptor sites in rat brain. Pentobarbital-anesthesized rats were perfused intracardially with 0.32 M sucrose in 0.1 M sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.4 Twelve~ m cryostat sections were thaw-mounted onto subbed slides. Approximately 0.16 nM~ 25I-Tyr~ 1SS or 0.04 nM 125I-LTT was incubated with sections in 150 mM Tris buffer, pH 7.4 containing 0.1% bacitracin, 0.1% bovine serum albumin and 5 mM MgSO 4 for 1 h at 25 C. Parallel incubations utilized 2 x 10-7 M TyrllSS as a blank. Sections were washed three times for 15 min each in 150 mM Tris, pH 7.4, at 4 o C, rapidly dried and apposed to emulsion-coated
