For making it clear whether GABAA-like receptor is in cells or rat testis and how itsgene expresses in tissue cells, the mRNA of rat testis was microinjected into Xenopusoocyte. The membrane electrobiological results showed that an inward 30 nA micro-currentwas elicited, under two-electrode voltageclamped configuration, by extracellular GABA(500 μmol/L), and both Bicuculline and Picrotoxin could inhibit this effect. It is an indication that the mRNA of rat testis can express GABA receptor in the membrane of Xenonpus oocyte. Using Muscimol as a excitant of GABA receptor type A, the micro--currentwas also elicited to generate; however, using Baclofen as a excitant of GABA receptortype B, the micro-current could not be induced. These results indicate that GABA receptorexpressed in Xenopus oocyte membrane is not type B but for type A. On the basis of the research result above, 24-mer oligonucleotides to be complementary to the high conservativeregion of the cDNAs of neur-GABA receptors were synthesized as probes to hybridize respectively with the RNAs Of brain and testis of adult rat, and of rat testes of the variousages. The dot hybridizations showed that the hybrid signal of rat testis was stronger thanthat of rat brain, meaning that, compared with rat brain, the RNA of rat testis has morehomologous regions with probes, and also implying that the GABA receptor from theRNA Of rat testis may be similar to neural-GABA receptor. This receptor therefore iscalled as GABA_A-like receptor. The dot blot analysis above also showed the testis GABA_Alike receptor. The dot blot analysis above also showed testis GABA_A like receptor mRNAcontent changed with the develOPmental age of rats. There is a very low level of gene expression in the rat testis on day 5 postnatal; there is the highest expression of GABA_A-likereceptor gene in rat testes on day 30to 100 after birth; the expression begins to drop on day200 after birth.
