西洋参胚性细胞和胚状体细胞中的核内含体与细胞质内含体

１９２１年,Ｍｏｌｉｓｈ首先在光镜下发现植物叶片细胞核中有一种晶体状的内含物（见Ｗｅｉｎｔｒａｕｂ等［１］）。后来人们陆续在某些动、植物的细胞核中观察到了这种结构［２—４］,并称之为核内含体（ｉｎｔｒａｎｕｃｌｅａｒｉｎｃｌｕｓｉｏｎｓ）。Ｂｉｇａｚｚｉ［３］曾在４５种桔梗科植物的细胞中看到了核内含体。但在离体培养的植物细胞中发现内含体的报道很少,至今仅在榛子组织培养分生细胞中看到了类似的结构［５］。我们在对西洋参体细胞胚胎发生进行超微结构研究的过程中发现,在胚性愈伤组织和胚状体细胞的核和细胞质…     

斜带髭鲷外周血嗜中性粒细胞核内包涵体的超微结构

目的在对斜带髭鲷（Hapalogenys nitens）外周血细胞结构进行透射电镜观察时发现嗜中性粒细胞存在大量的核内包涵体,系统研究了这些核内包涵体的超微结构,以探讨其来源和形成过程。方法应用电镜技术对这些核内包涵体的超微结构进行研究。结果斜带髭鲷外周血嗜中性粒细胞的核内包涵体可分为假包涵体和真包涵体两种类型,包涵体中的内含物来自胞质。胞核首先是以核膜内陷的方式将胞质及其各种有形成分包绕进核内而在核质外层形成具有双层膜包裹的典型假包涵体,随后假包涵体双层膜降解消失而转化成无被膜包裹的真包涵体,即核内糖原包涵体。结论假包涵体是形成真包涵体的开始阶段。随着假包涵体向真包涵体的转变,包涵体内含物的组成及其超微结构也出现了显著变化。

植物病毒病的风轮状内含体

在目前公认的34个植物病毒组中,有25个病毒组的病毒能在寄主植物中产生内含体。能否产生内含体及内含体的形态结构是病毒组的主要特征之一。植物病毒内含体最早由steere williams于1953年在感染烟草花叶病毒(TMV)的烟草叶片中观察到,呈晶板状(Crystalline plates)。以后人们渐渐认识到内含体与病毒病害密切相关,但从发现至今近40年内,对内含体的产生及其功能仍不很清楚。

Intranuclear Inclusions in Leaf Mesophyll Cells of Davidia involucrata

The ultrastructure of intranuclear inclusions in leaf mesophyll cells of Davidia involucrata was investigated with electron microscopy. Intranuclear inclusions occur generally in the cells of young and mature leaves. They consist of numerous bundles aggregated by several fibres (diameter about 10 nm), sometimes a few of bundles turn to tubules enveloped by fibres. Authors suggested that it is a new subtype (F2) of intranuclear fibrillar inclusion.     

Evidence that collapsin response mediator protein-2 is involved in the dynamics of microtubules

Collapsin response mediator protein-2 (CRMP-2) is a member of the CRMP/TOAD/Ulip/DRP family of cytosolic phosphoproteins involved in neuronal differentiation and axonal guidance. CRMP-2 mediates the intracellular response to collapsin 1/semaphorin 3A, a repulsive extracellular guidance cue for axonal outgrowth. The mutation of UNC-33, a Caenorhabditis elegans homolog of CRMP-2, results in abnormality of microtubules in neurites, but the mechanism of CRMP-2 action remains to be clarified. Here, we report that overexpression of human CRMP-2 in Neuro2a cells, a mouse neuroblastoma cell line, results in blebbing of the cytoplasm. Furthermore, some cells exhibited intranuclear inclusions, which were labeled with antibodies to CRMP-2 and tubulin. CRMP-2 was found to be associated with microtubule bundles in the spindles at the metaphase and in the midbodies at the late telophase in mitotic cells. Thus, it is most likely that failure of complete disassembly of the spindle microtubules during mitosis is responsible for the formation of these intranuclear inclusions. We suggest that CRMP-2 functions by regulating the dynamics of microtubules.     

Intranuclear actin bundles induced by dimethyl sulfoxide in interphase nucleus of Dictyostelium

Electron microscopic evidence demonstrated that dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) induces formation of giant intranuclear microfilament bundles in the interphase nucleus of a cellular slime mold, Dictyostelium. These giant bundles are approximately giant bundles are approximately 3 micrometer long, 0.85 micrometer wide, and composed of microfilaments 6 nm in diameter. Studies in which glycerinated cells were used showed that these microfilaments bind rabbit skeletal muscle heavy meromyosin, forming typical decorated "arrowhead" structures, and that this binding can be reverted by Mg-adenosine triphosphate. These data verify that the intranuclear microfilaments are the contractile protein actin, and that DMSO affects intranuclear actin, inducing the formation of such giant bundles. The intranuclear actin bundles appear at any developmental stage in two different species of cellular slime molds after treatment with DMSO. The native form of the intranuclear actin molecules and their possible functions are discussed, and it is proposed that the contractile protein has essential functions in the cell nucleus.     

Ligand promotes intranuclear inclusions in a novel cell model of spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy

Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA, Kennedy's disease) is one of a group of progressive neurodegenerative diseases resulting from a polyglutamine repeat expansion. In SBMA the polymorphic trinucleotide CAG repeat in exon 1 of the androgen receptor (AR) gene is increased, resulting in expansion of a polyglutamine tract. Patient autopsy material reveals neuronal intranuclear inclusions (NII) in affected regions that contain only amino-terminal epitopes of the AR. Cell models have previously been unable to produce intranuclear inclusions containing only a portion of the AR. We report here the creation of an inducible cell model of SBMA that reproduces this important characteristic of disease pathology. PC12 cells expressing highly expanded AR form ubiquitinated intranuclear inclusions containing amino-terminal epitopes of the AR as well as heat shock proteins. Inclusions appear as distinct granular electron-dense structures in the nucleus by immunoelectron microscopy. Dihydrotestosterone treatment of mutant AR-expressing cells results in increased inclusion load. This model mimics the formation of ubiquitinated intranuclear inclusions containing the amino-terminal portion of AR observed in patient tissue and reveals a role for ligand in the pathogenesis of SBMA.     

Intranuclear and Cytoplasmic Inclusions in Embryogenic and Embryoidal Cells of Panax quinque folius

The presence of intranuclear and cytoplasmic inclusions in cells of embryogenic callus and developing embryoids from tissue cultures of Panax quinquefolius L. was described. These cellular structures were not found in non-embryogenic cells. The size of intranuclear and cytoplasmic inclusions seemed to be related to the developmental status of the cell.     

Subcellular localization of Aleutian mink disease parvovirus proteins and DNA during permissive infection of Crandell feline kidney cells.

Confocal microscopy allowed us to localize viral nonstructural (NS) and capsid (VP) proteins and DNA simultaneously in cells permissively infected with Aleutian mink disease parvovirus (ADV). Early after infection, NS proteins colocalized with viral DNA to form intranuclear inclusions, whereas VP proteins formed hollow intranuclear shells around the inclusions. Later, nuclei had irregular outlines and were virtually free of ADV products. In these cells, inclusions of viral DNA with or without associated NS protein were embedded in cytoplasmic VP protein. These findings implied that ADV replication within an infected cell is regulated spatially as well as temporally.     

Intranuclear filamentous inclusions in the gastro-entero-pancreatic (GEP) endocrine cells of birds

Summary Intranuclear filamentous inclusions were found in the normal endocrine cells of the avian stomach and pancreas. These inclusions were composed of a bundle of closely packed filaments (6–8 nm in diameter), being ultrastructurally similar to those found in the nucleus of various neurons. Most of them appeared as single rod- or spindle-shaped bodies; aggregations of two or more inclusions were rarely seen within a single nucleus. Cells with an intranuclear inclusion often contained a cytoplasmic fibrillar bundle similar to the intranuclear inclusion.
