壬基酚对雄性黑斑蛙生殖毒性的研究

通过研究壬基酚对雄性黑斑蛙(Rana nigromaculata)成体的精子和精巢的影响,探讨壬基酚对黑斑蛙的生殖毒性.用不同剂量的壬基酚对雄性黑斑蛙进行处理,对黑斑蛙的精巢系数、精子数、形态结构、畸形率和精巢显微结构等分别进行研究.结果表明,与对照组相比,随着壬基酚浓度的升高,染毒组黑斑蛙的精巢系数下降,精子数减少,精子畸形率明显增大;畸形精子主要表现为其头部出现肥大、弯曲和圆形等现象;精巢显微结构发生变化,表现为生精小管萎缩,生精细胞层次减少,间质区不明显.说明壬基酚对雄性黑斑蛙生殖系统具有毒性效应.     

敌敌畏对多疣狭口蛙不同发育期蝌蚪的急性毒性影响

为了解农药对不同发育期蝌蚪的毒性,以多疣狭口蛙Kaloula verrucosa蝌蚪为对象,采用水生生物急性毒性试验方法,研究杀虫剂敌敌畏(DDVP)对25期、26期、35期和42期蝌蚪的急性毒性影响.结果表明,在水温19.5～22.0℃条件下,敌敌畏对各期蝌蚪96 h LC50分别为1.13、1.43、1.38和0.61 mg/L,各期蝌蚪对敌敌畏的敏感顺序为42期>25期>35期>26期.由此得出敌敌畏对25期、26期和35期蝌蚪属中等毒性,对42期蝌蚪则表现为高毒.因此建议农药施用应尽量避开蝌蚪的变态期进行.蛙类胚胎期(出膜后)随着发育对外界环境的耐受性增强,蝌蚪期随着发育对外界环境的敏感性增强.鉴于42期蝌蚪意外死亡率高的特点,认为不宜采用变态期蝌蚪进行急性毒性试验.     

黑斑蛙变态过程中甲状腺发育及甲状腺激素分泌

系统研究了我国本土两栖动物种黑斑蛙（Rana nigromaculata）变态发育过程中甲状腺组织学和甲状腺激素水平的变化,为甲状腺生物学和甲状腺干扰研究提供基础数据。黑斑蛙蝌蚪发育的形态变化: 第26-40阶段,后腿芽生长并逐渐分化出五趾结构;42阶段,开始进入变态高峰期,前肢展开,尾吸收,蝌蚪身体发生巨大形变;46阶段,蝌蚪完全变态成小蛙。随着形态学的变化,甲状腺的组织结构也发生明显的变化: 26-37阶段,甲状腺体积较小,增长缓慢;38阶段甲状腺体积迅速膨大,进入高峰期,甲状腺的发育达到顶峰;随着变态完成,甲状腺又逐渐缩小。甲状腺组织学变化的同时,甲状腺激素水平也相应发生变化: 在变态前期,下颌中3,3',5-三碘代-L-甲腺原氨酸（T3）水平增长缓慢,进入变态期后,T3含量迅速升高,在变态高峰期达到峰值,随后下降。以上结果表明,黑斑蛙发育过程中甲状腺组织学的变化与甲状腺激素水平的波动相吻合。对黑斑蛙甲状腺系统的研究,可为日后使用黑斑蛙开展甲状腺干扰作用的研究提供基础。

TOTAL CELL NUMBER AND NUMBER OF THE PRIMARY MESENCHYME CELLS IN WHOLE, 1/2 AND 1/4 LARVAE OF CLYPEASTER JAPONICUS*

Total cell number and number of the primary mesenchyme cells of 1/2 and 1/4 larvae were counted at several developmental stages after hatching in comparison with those of a whole larva, using Clypeaster japonicus as material. To obtain partial larvae, blastomeres were isolated at the 2- or 4-cell stage in Ca-free sea water and cultured in natural sea water at around 23°C. Isolated blastomeres cleaved as in situ, namely, as a part of an embryo. Although each partial embryo tended to spread into a plate, it acquired spherical shape prior to hatching of control whole embryo and developed normally in terms of both developmental rate and morphogenesis. Total cell number of a whole larva was about 620 just after hatching and increased almost linearly until i t reached 1850 at the pluteus stage. A half and quarter larvae contained roughly 1/2 and 1/4, respectively, of the number of cells of whole larva through all stages counted. Numbers of the primary mesenchyme cells in the partial larvae, however, tended to be slightly larger than a half or a fourth of that in whole larva. In whole larva, 35, 50, 56 and 58 was counted at the mesenchyme blastula, early gastrula, late gastrula and pluteus stage, respectively.     

CHANGES IN THE ACTIVITY OF ACID PHOSPHATASE AND THE APPEARANCE OF METAMORPHOSING POTENCIES OF THE LARVAE OF THE ASCIDIAN, HALOCYNTHIA RORETZI

In the swimming phase of the larvae of the ascidian, Halocynthia roretzi , changes in the activity of acid phosphatase (AcP-ase) were studied cytochemically with respect to the appearance of metamorphosing potencies. The AcP-ase activity in the larvae before and soon after hatching is weakly visible only in and around the nuclei of the epithelial, muscular and notochordal cells. 6 hr after hatching the enzyme activity begins t o appear weakly in the microblasts around the proximal end of the notochordal sheath, whereas the activities which were found in the previous stages disappear. In the larvae which passed for 12 hr after hatching, the activity of AcP-ase is distinctly shown in the microblasts and also in the other 2 mesodermal cells, meso- and macro- blasts. The microblasts of this stage are closely attached to the notochordal sheath at the proximal end. At the same time, many large granules which appear similar to lysosomes are found in the microblast by an electron microscopy. The 6th hour's larvae after hatching can be induced slowly to resorb its tail by the treatment with a nile blue solution, but the time which it takes for tail resorption is gradually shortened depending on the age of the larva up until 12 hr after hatching.
From these results, i t was concluded that the appearance of the AcP-ase activity in the microblasts was parallel with the appearance of the potency of metamorphosis of the larvae after hatching. Possible roles of the microblasts at onset of meta- morphosis would seem to play a role in the rupture of the notochordal sheath and in the succeeding regression of the tail tissues.     

ENZYMATIC ACTIVITIES RELATING TO THE RESPIRATION AND THE ONSET OF METAMORPHOSIS OF THE ASCIDIAN TADPOLE

The oxygen consumption of a single ascidian larva was measured. After hatching the consumption increases gradually. During the period of tail resorption it also increases gradually, but after the completion of tail resorption the consumption decreases conspicuously.
With the development of the larva after hatching, the activities of cytochrome oxidase and succinic dehydrogenase and of Janus green-reduction become detectable in the adhesive papillae, the proximal region of the tail, and the tail muscle. After the completion of tail resorption, these activities become indistinct.
These tissues underwent most profound morphological changes at the onset of metamorphosis. Soon after hatching, Janus green has no effect to induce metamorphosis. In larvae 4 hr after hatching, the shrinkage of adhesive papillae can be induced by Janus green-treatment. In 12 hr larvae, both the shrinkage of adhesive papillae and the tail resorption can be induced by Janus green. The enhancement of respiratory activities in the larvae after hatching may be related to the changes in the adhesive papillae and later to changes in the proximal region of the tail. Only when both of these changes occur can metamorphosis be induced.

Programmed cell death in the ascidian embryo: modulation by FoxA5 and Manx and roles in the evolution of larval development

Programmed cell death (PCD) has been discounted in the ascidian embryo because the descendants of every embryonic cell appear to be present in the tadpole larva. Here we show that apoptotic PCD is initiated in the epidermis and central nervous system (CNS) but not in the endoderm, mesenchyme, muscle, and notochord cells during embryogenesis in molgulid ascidians. However, the affected cells do not actually die until the beginning of metamorphosis. Although specific patterns of PCD were different in distantly related ascidian species, the results suggest that removal of CNS cells by apoptosis is a urchordate feature predating the origin of the vertebrates. Certain molgulid ascidian species have evolved an anural (tailless) larva in which notochord cells fail to undergo the morphogenetic movements culminating in tail development. These anural species include Molgula occulta, the sister species of the urodele (tailed) species Molgula oculata. We show that PCD in the notochord cell lineage precedes the arrest of tail development in M. occulta and other independently evolved anural species. The notochord cells are rescued from PCD and a tail develops in hybrid embryos produced by fertilizing M. occulta eggs with M. oculata sperm, implying that apoptosis is controlled zygotically. Antisense inhibition experiments show that zygotic expression of the FoxA5 and Manx genes is required to prevent notochord PCD in urodele species and hybrids with restored tails. The results provide the first indication of PCD in the ascidian embryo and suggest that apoptosis modulated by FoxA5 and Manx is involved in notochord and tail regression during anural development. Differences in PCD that occur between ascidian species suggest that diversity in programming apoptosis may explain differences in larval form.     

Viviparous development in Botrylloides (Compound Ascidians)

The mode of sexual reproduction and embryogenesis was compared in 3 species of Botrylloides: B. simodensis, B. lenis, and B. violaceus. In all species, a testis and an egg (occasionally 2 eggs), the former being anterior to the latter, mature in the mantle on either side of a zooid. The egg is surrounded by 2 follicular layers and is attached by a vesicular follicle stalk (oviduct) to the atrial brood pouch. The egg is ovulated into the brood pouch, where it is fertilized and undergoes embryogenesis. The egg of B. simodensis is heavily yolked and measures about 180 μm in diameter. The course of embryogenesis in this species is that typical of ascidians. A mature tadpole larva is produced and shed in about 5 days; then, the mother zooid degenerates. The larva is smallest of the three species and has 8 ampullae. The metamorphosed oozooid bears a single bud on the right side only. Extraembryonic nutrition seems to be very limited. Both Botrylloides lenis and B. violaceus are species which display extreme examples of viviparity. Their eggs are devoid of yolk granules, measuring about 90 μm in diameter in the former species and 60 μm in the latter. The course of embryogenesis is similar in these 2 species. The neurula stage is characterized by a spherical vesicular shape owing to precocious differentiation of the embryonic pharynx, whose ectoderm becomes vacuolated. At the posterior end of the neurula, the mesodermal cells are located in a mass, from which the tail is extended later. In B. lenis, embryogenesis takes about 20 days. At the neurula stage of the embryo, the mother zooid becomes a mantle sac as a result of visceral disintegration. During further embryogenesis, the growth of buds of successive generations in the colony is characteristically arrested. A swimming larva of this species is somewhat larger than that of B. simodensis. It has 14–24 ampullae, and the oozooid carries a single bud on its right side. In B. violaceus, the gestation period lasts for more than a month. At the early gastrula stage of the embryo, the body of the mother zooid fully disintegrates. Only the brood pouch bearing the embryo survives and remains connected with the colonial vascular system. In this species, sexual reproduction does not affect the growth of buds in the colony. The swimming larva is gigantic, being furnished with 24–34 ampullae, and the oozooid always bears 3 buds, 2 on the right side and one on the left side.     

Development of ciliary bands in larvae of the living isocrinid sea lily Metacrinus rotundus

Embryos and larvae of an isocrinid sea lily, Metacrinus rotundus, are described by scanning electron microscopy. Around hatching (35 h after fertilization), the outer surface of the gastrula becomes ubiquitously covered with short cilia. At 40 h, the hatched swimming embryo develops a cilia‐free zone of ectoderm on the ventral side. By 3 days, the very early dipleurula larva develops a cilia‐free zone ventrally, densely ciliated regions laterally, and a sparsely ciliated region dorsally. At this stage, the posterior and anterior ciliary bands first appear: the former runs along a low ridge separating the densely from the sparsely ciliated epidermal regions, while the latter is visible, at first discontinuously, along the boundary between the densely ciliated lateral regions and the cilia‐free ventral zone. In the late dipleurula larva (5 days after fertilization), the anterior and posterior loops of ciliary bands are well defined. The transition from the dipleurula to the semidoliolaria larva occurs at 6 days as the posterior loop becomes rearranged to form incompletely circumferential ciliary bands. The larva becomes competent to settle at this stage. The arrangement of the ciliary bands on the semidoliolaria is maintained during the second week of development, while the larva retains its competence to settle. The larval ciliary patterns described here are compared with those of stalkless crinoids and eleutherozoan echinoderms. The closest morphological similarities are between M. rotundus and the basal eleutherozoan class Asteroidea.
