The proventriculus of White Leghorn chick embryos (stages 29–45) newly-hatched chicks, and adult chickens were frozen, sectioned in a cryostat and treated histochemically to identify localizations of alkaline and acid phosphatase, adenosine triphosphatase, 5-nucleotidase, nucleotide-diphosphatase, non-specific glycerophosphatase, glucose-6-phosphatase, non-specific esterase and succinic dehydrogenase. Ribonucleic acid, proteins and acid mucopolysaccharides were identified in tissues fixed in FAA. Acid phosphatase, nucleotide-diphosphatase, adenosine triphosphatase, succinic dehydrogenase, ribonucleic acid and proteins were present in the cells of the deep glands at all stages of development. Alkaline phosphatase and 5-nucleotidase were found only in mesenchymal derivatives of the proventriculus. After the chick begins swallowing and digesting albumen, enzymatic activity increased and non-specific esterase became very reactive. The surface epithelium is covered with a mucous coat. Ribonucleic acid, non-specific esterase, acid phosphatase and nucleotide-diphosphatase were localized in the basal portions of the epithelial cells. The functional significance of these different patterns is discussed. 相似文献

Ontogenesis comprises a series of events including cell proliferation and apoptosis and resulting in the normal development of the embryo. Protein p53 has been described as being involved in the development of several animal species. The aim of this study was to analyze the expression of protein p53 during the morphogenesis of the gastroesophageal mucosa of Gallus gallus domesticus and to correlate it with the histogenesis of structures present in this tissue. We used 24 embryos (at 12–20 days of incubation) and the thymus of two chickens. Immunohistochemical analysis was performed with the ABC indirect method. The expression of p53 in the gastroesophageal mucosa increased during the formation of the organ, mainly at the stages during which tissue remodeling and cell differentiation began. In the esophagus at stages 42 and 45, we observed immunoreactive (IR) cells in the surface epithelium and in early esophageal glands. In the proventriculus at stages 39–45, IR cells were present in the epithelial mucosa and rarely in the proventricular glands. In the gizzard after stage 42, we found IR cells mainly in the medial and basal epithelial layers of the mucosa and especially within the intercellular spaces that appeared at this phase and formed the tubular gland ducts. Thus, protein p53 occurs at key stages of development: in the esophagus during the remodeling of esophageal glands, in the proventriculus during the differentiation of the epithelium of the mucosa and in the gizzard during the formation of tubular glands. 相似文献

The glue genes of Drosophila melanogaster comprise a family of genes expressed at high levels in the salivary glands of late third instar larvae in response to the insect hormone ecdysone. We present evidence that, in contrast to the other glue genes, Sgs-4 is turned on throughout Drosophila development and is not expressed exclusively in the larval salivary glands. Larvae transformed with an Sgs-4/Adh (alcohol dehydrogenase) hybrid gene exhibit Sgs-4-directed Adh expression in the larval proventriculus as well as in the salivary glands as early as the first instar. Sgs-4-specific RNA can be detected at very low levels during all stages of development. During late third instar, levels of Sgs-4 RNA in the salivary glands increase several-thousand-fold, thereby accounting for the large amounts of Sgs-4 protein present in the glue produced by the salivary glands. This pattern of expression is unique to the Sgs-4 gene. While expression of several of the other glue genes can be detected in embryos and early larvae, they appear to be expressed neither throughout development nor in the larval proventriculus. Appearance of the glue gene RNAs in mid third instar salivary glands is noncoordinate, even for the chromosomally clustered genes Sgs-3, Sgs-7, and Sgs-8. 相似文献

Synopsis The distribution and activities of several oxidative enzymes in various regions of the sebaceous glands of the domestic cat have been studied. The results obtained emphasize the outstanding importance of NADP-linked dehydrogenases for lipogenesis during sebum production. In particular, the reactions for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase were very strong. Among the NAD-linked dehydrogenases investigated, lactate dehydrogenase showed strong activity in the peripheral cells of the sebaceous gland. The reactions for cytochrome oxidase and succinate dehydrogenase were weaker. 相似文献

Several secretory and nonsecretory enzymes were localized histochemically in the main venom gland of 13 viperid snakes. All secretory cells show the intracellular oxidative enzymes succinate dehydrogenase and monoamine oxidase. The granular reactions obtained for both enzymes resemble mitochondria in distribution. Distinctive cells with a very high succinate dehydrogenase activity are dispersed among the secretory cells of all species except Atractaspis. Nonspecific acid phosphatase activity is found in the supranuclear region of the secretory cells in species that do not secrete this enzyme and throughout the cytoplasm in snakes that secrete the enzyme. Nonspecific alkaline phosphatase activity occurs in the secretory cells of those snakes whose venom shows this activity. Leucine amino peptidase (aryl amidase) activity is found in the venom and in the secretory cells of all the species. In Vipera palaestinae both the venom and the secretory cells of the main venom gland contain nonspecific esterase, L-amino acid oxidase and phosphodiesterase activities. The localization of phosphodiesterase and L-amino acid oxidase do not show major differences between glands at different intervals from an initial milking. Adenosine-monophosphate phosphatase activity is localized in the supranuclear region of the secretory cells in the glands of Vipera palaestinae and Aspis cerastes. Its activity is found in the venom of Aspis only. 相似文献

We used light microscopy to elucidate the morphological features of argyrophilic cells in the digestive tract of the African ostrich (Struthio camelus). The results indicated that argyrophilic cells were found to be distributed among the epithelial cells of the mucosa or glands throughout the digestive tract, except for the esophagus; two types of argyrophilic cells were found; i.e., closed-type cells and cells with triangular or elongated shapes and with their apical cytoplasmic process in contact with the lumen (open-type cells); the greatest number of argyrophilic cells was found in the proventriculus, and the argyrophilic cell density gradually decreased from the proventriculus to the rectum; Furthermore, the number of argyrophilic cells in the duodenum and ileum was higher than that in the jejunum. This text still combined the characteristics that the argyrophilic cells in digestive tract of ostrich maybe related to different digestive function of different region and the basis of their morphology to carry on a discussion. It was speculated that argyrophilic cells in the digestive tract may have both endocrine and exocrine functions. 相似文献

Summary Monoamine oxidase (MAO) and alcohol dehydrogenase (AD) activities were studied histochemically in the Syrian hamster Harderian gland using tryptamine as substrate and Nitroblue Tetrazolium as the final electron acceptor. No dark: light-related changes were observed. Male type I secretory cells showed an intense MAO reaction. Female type I cells exhibited a moderate MAO activity. Both male and female glands showed a moderate/intense AD-positive reaction. Male type II cells were lacking MAO and AD activities. MAO activity found in the hamster Harderian glands corresponded mainly to MAO type A since treatment with chlorgyline (0.01, 0.1 and 0.5mm) totally inhibited it. The possible role of these two enzymes in Harderian gland indolalkylamine metabolism is discussed. 相似文献

The morphology and histology, as well as the cytochemistry of complex carbohydrates, of the digestive system of Crypturellus tataupa (tataupa tinamou), Nothoprocta cinerascens (brushland tinamou), and Nothura maculosa (spotted tinamou) are described. The general morphology of the digestive system of these birds follows the basic model of the avian alimentary canal, although statistical analysis shows that the lengths of the organs are significantly different among the species. From cephalic to caudal regions the alimentary tract consists of esophagus, ingluvies or crop, proventriculus or glandular stomach, ventriculus or muscular stomach, small intestine, well-developed ceca, and rectum. Histologically, each section of the tract consists of four primary tissue layers: mucosa, submucosa, muscularis, and adventitia. Variations are found in the thickness of the esophageal epithelium, which shows the highest value in C. tataupa. In the proventriculus, the depth of the compound glands is greatest in N. cinerascens. The villi of the epithelial cells in the small intestine are most extensively developed in C. tataupa. Heterogeneity of mucins is detected not only in the surface coat of the alimentary tract but in the cellular content of the glands as well. Comparisons with the morphology of the digestive system of closely related and more advanced birds are made, and the possible relationship between morphological and cytochemical variation and the diet is discussed. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Etsuo Watanabe 《Enzyme and microbial technology》1989,11(12):824-829A biosensor system for continuous flow determination of enzyme activity was developed and applied to the determination of glucose oxidase and lactic dehydrogenase activities. The glucose oxidase activity sensor was prepared from the combination of an oxygen electrode and a flow cell. Similarly, the lactic dehydrogenase activity sensor was prepared from the combination of a pyruvate oxidase membrane, an oxygen electrode, and a flow cell. Pyruvate oxidase was covalently immobilized on a membrane prepared from cellulose triacetate, 1,8-diamino-4-aminomethyloctane, and glutaraldehyde. Glucose oxidase activity was determined from the oxygen consumed upon oxidation of glucose catalyzed by glucose oxidase. Lactic dehydrogenase activity was determined from the pyruvic acid formed upon dehydrogenation of lactic acid catalyzed by lactic dehydrogenase. The amount of pyruvic acid was determined from the oxygen consumed upon oxidation of pyruvic acid by pyruvate oxidase. Calibration curves for activity of glucose oxidase and lactic dehydrogenase were linear up to 81 and 300 units, respectively. One assay could be completed within 15 min for both sensors and these were stable for more than 25 days at 5°C. The relative errors were ±4 and ±6% for glucose oxidase and lactic dehydrogenase sensors, respectively. These results suggest that the sensor system proposed is a simple, rapid, and economical method for the determination of enzyme activities. 相似文献

The specific activities of isocitric dehydrogenase, alpha-ketoglutaric dehydrogenase, succinic dehydrogenase, malic dehydrogenase, and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) oxidase were determined in extracts of Nitrosomonas europaea and compared with the corresponding values for Anacystis nidulans and autotrophically grown Hydrogenomonas eutropha. In common with other obligate autotrophs and in contrast to facultative autotrophs, Nitrosomonas extracts lacked alpha-ketoglutaric dehydrogenase and KCN-sensitive NADH oxidase activity and had low succinic dehydrogenase activity. The Nitrosomonas NADH oxidase appeared to be of the peroxidase type. 相似文献

1. Cellulose acetate zymograms of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), aldehyde dehydrogenase, sorbitol dehydrogenase, aldehyde oxidase, "phenazine" oxidase and xanthine oxidase extracted from tissues of inbred mice were examined. 2. ADH isozymes were differentially distributed in mouse tissues: A2--liver, kidney, adrenals and intestine; B2--all tissues examined; C2--stomach, adrenals, epididymis, ovary, uterus, lung. 3. Two NAD+-specific aldehyde dehydrogenase isozymes were observed in liver and kidney and differentially distributed in other tissues. Alcohol dehydrogenase, aldehyde oxidase, "phenazine" oxidase and xanthine oxidase were also stained when aldehyde dehydrogenase was being examined. 4. Two aldehyde oxidase isozymes exhibited highest activities in liver. 5. "Phenazine oxidase" was widely distributed in mouse tissues whereas xanthine oxidase exhibited highest activity in intestine and liver extracts. 6. Genetic variants for ADH-C2 established its identity with a second form of sorbitol dehydrogenase observed in stomach and other tissues. The major sorbitol dehydrogenase was found in high activity in liver, kidney, pancreas and male reproductive tissues. 相似文献

Xanthine dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.37) from mouse small intestine was accompanied by 20% as much xanthine oxidase (EC 1.2.3.2) activity (dehydrogenase-associated oxidase). NAD+ and oxygen did not compete as electron acceptors. Upon incubation at 37 °C, the dehydrogenase activity was gradually transformed to oxidase activity. Unexpectedly, the oxidase thus formed (dehydorgenase-derived oxidase) had catalytic properties different from those of the dehydrogenase-associated oxidase. The activation energy for the dehydrogenase-associated oxidase was 20,600 cal/mol, whereas that for the dehydrogenase-derived oxidase was 13,500 cal/mol. The activation energy for the dehydrogenase was 14,000 cal/mol. Between pH 6.4 and 8.5, the activity of the dehydrogenase-associated oxidase was essentially pH independent, whereas the activities of the dehydrogenase-derived oxidase and the dehydrogenase were enhanced with increasing pH. Use of the transformation inhibitor, dithiothreitol, and the protease inhibitor, diisopropylfluorophosphate, showed that these catalytic differences were not the result of partial proteolysis of the enzyme. The data demonstrate the existence of two catalytically different types of mammalian xanthine oxidase activities: A dehydrogenase-associated oxidase and a dehydrogenase-derived oxidase. 相似文献

Rat liver mitochondria, stored with the energy-linked functions preserved or in aging conditions, were used to assay the activity of various enzymes during five days. The preservation of energy-linked functions was monitored by the respiratory control coefficient. ATPase, cytochrome oxidase and NADH dehydrogenase showed increased activity when the energy-linked functions were preserved. In aging conditions, cytochrome oxidase, NADH dehydrogenase and ATPase showed decreased activity. The ATPase activity increased only when mitochondria were stored in the presence of inhibitors of the electron transport chain. The activity of NADH oxidase did not change, and succinate oxidase and succinate dehydrogenase showed a small decrease in their activity. The enzymes of the matrix, alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase and aspartate aminotransferase showed little decrease in activity under either of the conditions of storage. The total protein content decreased slightly under both conditions of storage. These results show that the activity of the enzymes analysed was maintained at reasonable levels, when the energy-linked functions of isolated mitochondria were preserved. 相似文献

Summary Parotid, submandibular and sublingual glands were removed from rats and investigated histochemically. Pyruvate oxidase, iso-citric dehydrogenase, -ketoglutarate oxidase, succinic dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase and furfuryl alcohol dehydrogenase activity were observed in the salivary ducts which may be interpreted as significant of high metabolic activity.The 11 -hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in these ducts displayed marked substrate specificity utilizing 11-hydroxyandrostenedione and cortisol but not 11 -hydroxyoestrone or 11 -hydroxyprogesterone. The relationship between corticosteroids and salivary electrolyte concentrations is discussed. 相似文献

During development of the chicken proventriculus (glandular stomach), gut endoderm differentiates into glandular and luminal epithelium. We found that Delta1-expressing cells, undifferentiated cells and Notch-activated cells colocalize within the endodermal epithelium during early gland formation. Inhibition of Notch signaling using Numb or dominant-negative form of Su(H) resulted in a luminal differentiation, while forced activation of Notch signaling promoted the specification of immature glandular cells, but prevented the subsequent differentiation and the invagination of the glands. These results suggest that Delta1-mediated Notch signaling among endodermal cells functions as a binary switch for determination of glandular and luminal fates, and regulates patterned differentiation of glands in the chicken proventriculus. 相似文献

The contractile effects of galanin on isolated longitudinal smooth muscle strips of pre-crop esophagus, proventriculus, duodenum, colon, and cecum of chickens were investigated. Application of galanin (5.0-100.0 nM) evoked strong contractions from the colon and cecum (hindgut), but evoked minimal responses from the pre-crop esophagus, proventriculus, and duodenum (foregut). Previous studies have demonstrated that the central administration of galanin stimulates food consumption in rats. Since galanin-like immunoreactivity is present in the chicken brain, we speculate that the central release of galanin may increase food intake and possibly be involved in a hypothalamic-colonic reflex modulating hindgut motility and generating a defecation. Thus, the results of this study demonstrate the presence of galanin receptors in the chicken gut and suggest a possible link with their functional presence in the hindgut to the chicken central nervous system. 相似文献

We directly measured the activity of the enzymes xanthine oxidase and xanthine dehydrogenase in rabbit and rat hearts, using a sensitive radiochemical assay. Neither xanthine oxidase activity nor xanthine dehydrogenase activity was detected in the rabbit heart. In the rat heart, xanthine oxidase activity was 9.1 +/- 0.5 mIU per gram wet weight and xanthine dehydrogenase activity was 53.0 +/- 1.9 mIU per gram wet weight. These results argue against the involvement of the xanthine oxidase/xanthine dehydrogenase system as a mechanism of tissue injury in the rabbit heart, and suggest that the ability of allopurinol to protect the rabbit heart against hypoxic or ischemic damage must be due to a mechanism other than inhibition of these enzymes. 相似文献

Early Determination of Developmental Fate in Presumptive Intestinal Endoderm of the Chicken Embryo 总被引:6,自引:5,他引:1

The endodermal epithelia of esophagus, proventriculus and gizzard of 6-day chicken embryos can form glands and express embryonic chicken pepsinogen (ECPg), when they are subjected to the influence of proventricular mesenchyme, while intestinal epithelium of the same age cannot respond to the inductive influence of proventricular mesenchyme. We attempted in this paper to know whether this regional difference of epithelia to respond to mesenchymal influence originates very early in development or it is established gradually in the course of development of digestive tract.
The young presumptive intestinal endoderm taken from embryos having 15–20 somites was associated and cultivated with 6-day proventricular mesenchyme. The presumptive intestinal endoderm never expressed ECPg although it formed gland-like structures. In the control explants composed of presumptive stomach endoderm and proventricular mesenchyme, glands were formed and gland cells expressed ECPg detected by immunocytochemistry and in situ hybridization.
These results indicate that the developmental fate of presumptive intestinal endoderm is determined rather strictly at very early developmental stage, and suggest that the segregation of at least two cell lineages occurs early in the development; one which can express ECPg under the influence of proventricular mesenchyme, and another one which cannot express ECPg and differentiates mainly into intestinal epithelium. 相似文献
