Lectin binding patterns in ten mouse malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH)-like sarcomas containing eosinophilic globule (EG) cells and in granular metrial gland (GMG) cells of mouse placenta were stained with nine lectins (Con A, LCA, WGA, DBA, SBA, e-PHA, PNA, RCA-I and UEA-I) by an avidin-biotin-peroxidase-complex method. EG cells stained strongly with DBA, SBA and PNA which are specific for N-acetyl-D-galactosamine and/or D-galactose. DBA and SBA bound throughout the cytoplasm including the globules; PNA reacted preferentially at the cell surface. There was no evidence that these three lectins were reactive for immature EG cells. WGA, RCA-I and e-PHA also gave a slightly to moderately positive reaction to globules of EG cells. The results indicate that the globules contain abundant O-linked sequences of sugars, but also a few N-linked residues. MFH tumor cells showed a variable degree of binding with Con A, RCA-I, and WGA, but did not react with DBA, SBA and PNA. On the other hand, GMG cells exhibited specific affinities for DBA, SBA and PNA with staining patterns similar to those of EG cells. These findings suggest that EG and GMG cells may be of the same cellular lineage. 相似文献

Glycoconjugates in normal human kidney. A histochemical study using 13 biotinylated lectins 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex technique was used with 13 lectins to study the glycoconjugates of normal human renal tissue. The evaluated lectins included Triticum vulgaris (WGA), Concanavalin ensiformis (ConA), Phaseolus vulgaris leukoagglutinin and erythroagglutinin (PHA-L and PHA-E), Lens culinaris (LCA), Pisum sativum (PSA), Dolichos biflorus (DBA), Glycine max (SBA), Arachis hypogaea (PNA), Sophora japonica (SJA), Bandeiraea simplicifolia I (BSL-I), Ulex europaeus I (UEA-I) and Ricinus communis I (RCA-I). Characteristic and reproducible staining patterns were observed. WGA and ConA stained all tubules; PHA-L, PHA-E, LCA, PSA stained predominantly proximal tubules; DBA, SBA, PNA, SJA and BSL-I stained predominantly distal portions of nephrons. In glomeruli, WGA and PHA-L stained predominantly visceral epithelial cells; ConA stained predominantly basement membranes and UEA-I stained exclusively endothelial cells. UEA-I also stained endothelial cells of other blood vessels and medullary collecting ducts. Sialidase treatment before staining caused marked changes of the binding patterns of several lectins including a focal loss of glomerular and tubular staining by WGA; an acquired staining of endothelium by PNA and SBA; and of glomeruli by PNA, SBA, PHA-E, LCA, PSA and RCA-I. The known saccharide specificities and binding patterns of the lectins employed in this study allowed some conclusions about the nature and the distribution of the sugar residues in the oligosaccharide chains of renal glycoconjugates. The technique used in this report may be applicable to other studies such as evaluation of normal renal maturation, classification of renal cysts and pathogenesis of nephrotic syndrome. The observations herein reported may serve as a reference for these studies. 相似文献

Lectin histochemical study was performed on twenty-eight specimens of formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissues of proximal duodenum from human, cat, dog and Rhesus (macaque) monkey to demonstrate the pattern of carbohydrate residues in submucosal glands of Brunner as compared to that of the duodenal absorptive and goblet cells. Ten different biotinylated lectins were used as probes, and avidin-biotin-peroxidase (ABC) or avidin-gold-silver (AGS) complexes were used as "visualants". Brunner's gland cells of the four species studied exhibited a similar lectin-binding pattern which differ from other duodenal cells. The epithelium of Brunner's gland stained intensely with Ricinus communis agglutinin-I (RCA-I), succinylated-WGA (S-WGA) and wheat-germ agglutinin (WGA), moderately with Bandeirea simplicifolia agglutinin-I (BS-I), Concanavalia ensiformis agglutinin (Con A) peanut agglutinin (PNA) and Ulex europaeus agglutinin-I (UEA-I) and occasionally with Dolichos biflorus agglutinin (DBA), Lens culinaris agglutinin (LCA) and soybean agglutinin (SBA). Desialylation with neuraminidase resulted in only a slight elevation in binding intensities of PNA, DBA and SBA, indicating that glycoconjugates of the Brunner's gland cells are rich in asialo-oligosaccharides, which differs from duodenal epithelial cells. In addition, these histochemical reagents were useful in localizing Brunner's gland elements in the duodenal mucosa. 相似文献

To identify lectin binding sites and to determine if lectin binding patterns change with age in developing neonatal porcine uterine tissues, gilts (n = 3/day) were hysterectomized on Day 0 (birth), 7, 14, 28, 42, or 56. Lectin binding was visualized in Bouin's-fixed uterine tissues with seven biotinylated lectins (ConA, DBA, PNA, RCA-I, SBA, UEA-I, and WGA) and avidin-peroxidase staining procedures. Lectin specificities were demonstrated by pre-incubating lectins with appropriate inhibitory sugars (0.2 M). Staining intensity was evaluated visually (absent, weak, moderate, or strong) for three endometrial tissues; luminal epithelium, glandular epithelium, and stroma. Staining intensities for DBA, PNA, SBA, and WGA were not affected by neonatal age. Staining with these lectins was greater in uterine epithelium (moderate or strong) than in stroma (weak). In contrast, binding patterns for ConA, UEA-I, and RCA-I were affected by neonatal age. Strong epithelial staining associated with ConA binding was observed on all days, whereas stromal ConA staining decreased in intensity from moderate to weak after Day 14. Epithelial staining with UEA-I increased from moderate to strong after Day 28, whereas stromal UEA-I staining decreased from moderate to weak after day 28. Staining with RCA-I was homogeneous for luminal epithelium and stroma but variegated for glandular epithelium on and after Day 7. These observations indicate that a variety of lectin binding sites are present in developing neonatal porcine endometrial tissues and that developmentally related alterations in the distribution and/or orientation of glycoconjugates containing alpha-D-mannose, beta-D-galactose, beta-D-acetyl-N-galactosamine, and alpha-L-fucose residues occur between birth and Day 56 as these tissues mature. 相似文献

The binding of seven lectins (concanavalin A, Con A; Dolichos biflorus agglutinin, DBA; peanut agglutinin, PNA; Ricinus communis agglutinin I, RCA-I; soybean agglutinin, SBA; Ulex europeus agglutinin, UEA-I; and wheat germ agglutinin, WGA) to the small intestine in metamorphosing Xenopus laevis was studied by the avidin-biotin-peroxidase (ABC) method. The staining pattern of the epithelium with all lectins except for UEA-I and Con A changed gradually during metamorphic climax; the main component of the epithelium, absorptive cells, gradually became positive for DBA, PNA, and SBA and the scattered goblet cells for RCA-I and WGA. On the other hand, the change of the staining pattern in the connective tissue occurred only for Con A, RCA-I, and WGA, and this change took place rapidly at the beginning of climax (stage 60). Increased staining for Con A and WGA at stage 60 was observed only in a group of connective tissue cells close to the epithelium and in the basement membrane. As metamorphosis progressed, this localization of the staining intensity became less clear. At the completion of metamorphosis (stage 66), the absorptive cells were stained with all lectins except for UEA-I, whereas the goblet cells stained only with RCA-I and WGA. These results indicate that lectin histochemistry can distinguish between larval and adult cells of both two epithelial types (absorptive and goblet cells). The technique may also identify a group of connective tissue cells, close to the epithelium, that possibly induce the metamorphic epithelial changes. 相似文献

Secretory products of granular and mucous cells in the gill epithelium of the carp, Cyprinus carpio, were distinguished by their cytochemical reactions with peroxidase-labelled lectins and with the galactose oxidase (GO)-Schiff reagents. Secretory products of granular cells reacted with lectins from Triticum vulgaris (WGA), Arachis hypogaea (PNA), Dolichos biflorus (DBA), Glycine max (SAB), and Lotus tetragonolobus (LTA). They also reacted with GO-Schiff reagents. After sialic acid cleavage with HCl, new binding sites for DBA and SBA appeared, suggesting the terminal sequence sialic acid-N-acetylgalactosamine (SA-GalNAc) for the secretion of this cell type. In mucous cells, binding sites for WGA, DBA, and SBA and, after acid hydrolysis, binding sites for PNA and a positive GO-Schiff reaction were detected. The terminal trisaccharide sialic acid-galactose (beta 1-3)-N-acetylgalactosamine (SA-Gal-GalNAc) is proposed for the secretion of mucous cells. These cytochemical differences are discussed in light of the involvement of both cell types in fish mucus elaboration. 相似文献

Histochemical study on the bile duct system of normal rats 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The bile duct system of normal rats was examined histochemically. Although the apical surface of biliary and glandular epithelial cells was positively stained with Concanavalia ensiformis (Con A), Dolichos biflorus (DBA), Glycine max (SBA), Ulex europeus-I (UEA-I) and Triticumvulgaris (WGA), the cytoplasm did not apparently react with any lectins. Therefore these cells might not play an important role in an active secretion of mucin. On the other hand, the cytoplasm of goblet cells was positively stained with periodic acid-Schiff, high iron diamine, Con A, DBA, Griffonia simplicifolia-II (GS-II), SBA, UEA-I, and WGA. This suggests that mucin secreted from the goblet cells may be acid one with sulfonic terminals. 相似文献

Summary A panel of 10 FITC-labelled lectins (MPA, PNA, ConA, DBA, SBA, RCA-120, WGA, UEA, GS-I, GS-II) was applied to cryosections of seven specimens of normal urothelium. Seven of the lectins (MPA, ConA, RCA, WGA, UEA, GS-I and GS-II) showed a pattern of increasing fluorescence intensity from basal to superficial cells of the urothelium whereas PNA, DBA and SBA showed more uniform binding throughout the urothelium. Urothelial cell suspensions labelled with FITC-lectins were studied by flow cytometry to quantify the variation in binding to different cells types. Three cellular subpopulations were identified in normal urothelium on the basis of their optical properties. Fluorescence intensity due to specific lectin binding was then measured separately for each subpopulation. Although there was some variation among individual cases, a general pattern emerged in this small series. WGA, RCA, and GS-II bind in large quantities to all urothelial cells while PNA, SBA, ConA and DBA show little binding. MPA, RCA, UEA and GS-I showed the most marked increase in fluorescence intensity from basal to superficial cells as observed microscopically and quantified by flow cytometry. 相似文献

Distribution of lectin receptors in postimplantation mouse embryos at 6-8 days gestation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
S J Kimber 《The American journal of anatomy》1986,177(2):203-219
We have examined the pattern of binding of eleven lectins--BSL-II, WGA, LPA, Con A, DBA, SBA, LTA, UEA-I, MPA, PNA, and RCA-I, with specificity for a range of saccharides, to postimplantation mouse embryos from 6 to 8 days of gestation. The lectins were used to stain sections of ethanol-fixed paraffin-embedded and formaldehyde-fixed gelatin-embedded embryonic material. Our observations reveal a complex pattern of lectin binding to both cell surfaces and cytoplasm. Many of the lectins bind particularly to the outer surface of visceral endoderm (e.g., DBA, WGA, SBA, and RCA-I) and to the surface of the proamniotic cavity (e.g., RCA-I, PNA, and WGA). In the newly formed mesenchyme of primitive-streak-stage embryos, galactose and N-Ac-neuraminic acid are present but lectins with specificity for other sugars either did not bind to the cells or bound only in small amounts. 相似文献

We investigated the presence and distribution of five glycosidic residues at the level of the endocervical columnar epithelial cells during the various phases of the menstrual cycle in healthy subjects. We utilized the lectins Wheat Germ Agglutinin (WGA), Peanut Agglutinin (PNA), Soybean Agglutinin (SBA), Concanavalin A (ConA) conjugated with colloidal gold particles as ultrastructural markers in Transmission Electron Microscopy. This technique proved to be particularly suitable for detecting glycosidic residues at the cellular level, where the mucus is produced. All the lectin-binding sites (except ConA binding sites which were not detected) appeared to be produced in significantly different amount during the cycle, supporting the hypothesis that the cyclic-related changes of the cervical mucus viscoelasticity is due to glycoconjugate cyclic variations. 相似文献

Summary The pattern of lectin binding in normal human labial mucosa was examined by light and electron microscopy using eight different lectins (ConA, LCA, WGA, UEA-1, RCA-1, SBA, DBA and PNA) and compared with the patterns in normal human skin and oesophageal mucosa. As seen by light microscopy, ConA, LCA, and WGA stained cell membranes in all layers of the mucosae. RCA-1 stained the plasma membrane of cells in the basal and middle layers, whereas cells in the superficial layers showed little positive staining. UEA-1, SBA, and PNA stained the cells in the middle layers weakly in some cases. No positive staining for DBA was seen. By electron microscopy, reaction product indicating ConA-binding sites was observed in the plasma membrane, cisternae of the endoplasmic reticulum, nuclear envelope and the Golgi apparatus. Binding of LCA, WGA, and RCA-1 was observed in the plasma membrane. These results show that the binding pattern of PNA, SBA, and RCA-1 in labial mucosa is different from that in the normal skin or oesophageal mucosa, although the labial mucosal epithelium, epidermis, and oesophageal epithelium are all stratified squamous epithelia. These differences in the cell-surface sugar residues are likely to be related to the possible functional differences in these tissues. 相似文献

The distribution of structural and secretory glycoconjugates in the gastric region of metamorphosing Xenopus laevis was studied by the avidin-biotin-peroxidase (ABC) histochemical staining method using seven lectins (concanavalin A, Con A; Dolichos biflorus agglutinin, DBA; peanut agglutinin, PNA; Ricinus communis agglutinin I, RCA-I; soybean agglutinin, SBA; Ulex europeus agglutinin I, UEA-I; and wheat germ agglutinin, WGA). Throughout the larval period to stage 60, the epithelium consisting of surface cells and gland cells was stained in various patterns with all lectins examined, whereas the thin layer of connective tissue was positive only for RCA-I. At the beginning of metamorphic climax, the connective tissue became stained with Con A, SBA, and WGA, and its staining pattern varied with different lectins. The region just beneath the surface cells was strongly stained only with RCA-I. With the progression of development, both the epithelium and the connective tissue gradually changed their staining patterns. The surface cells, the gland cells, and the connective tissue conspicuously changed their staining patterns, respectively, for Con A and WGA; for Con A, PNA, RCA-I, SBA, and WGA; and for Con A, RCA-I, and WGA. At the completion of metamorphosis (stage 66), mucous neck cells became clearly identifiable in the epithelium, and their cytoplasm was strongly stained with DBA, PNA, RCA-I, and SBA. These results indicate that lectin histochemistry can provide good criteria for distinguishing among three epithelial cell types, namely, surface cells, gland cells, and mucous neck cells, and between adult and larval cells of each type. 相似文献

Carbohydrate residues were localized in the glandular cells of the epidermis of Lumbricus terrestris by lectin histochemistry. The following biotinylated lectins were used: ConA, PNA, WGA, UEA-I. Each lectin has a specific binding pattern in the epidermal glandular cells. The ConA binding is evident in the orthochromatic mucous cells; PNA in the metachromatic mucous cells; WGA in the neuroendocrine-like cells; UEA-I in the cuticle. The epidermal glandular cells possess specific sites for the different lectins in relation to their functional characteristics. Therefore, these sugar residues indicate different behaviours of the cells in epidermal functions related to ion transport, receptor-secretory processes and defence. 相似文献

Summary Secretory products of granular and mucous cells in the gill epithelium of the carp, Cyprinus carpio, were distinguished by their cytochemical reactions with peroxidase-labelled lectins and with the galactose oxidase (GO)-Schiff reagents. Secretory products of granular cells reacted with lectins from Triticum vulgaris (WGA), Arachis hypogaea (PNA), Dolichos biflorus (DBA), Glycine max (SAB), and Lotus tetragonolobus (LTA). They also reacted with GO-Schiff reagents. After sialic acid cleavage with HCl, new binding sites for DBA and SBA appeared, suggesting the terminal sequence sialic acid-N-acetylgalactosamine (SA-GalNAc) for the secretion of this cell type. In mucous cells, binding sites for WGA, DBA, and SBA and, after acid hydrolysis, binding sites for PNA and a positive GO-Schiff reaction were detected. The terminal trisaccharide sialic acid-galactose (1-3)-N-acetylgalactosamine (SA-Gal-GalNAc) is proposed for the secretion of mucuous cells. These cytochemical differences are discussed in light of the involvement of both cell types in fish mucus elaboration. 相似文献

Lectin histochemistry study in the human vas deferens 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The oligosaccharide sequences of glycoconjugates in the normal human vas deferens and the nature of the saccharide linkage were studied by lectin histochemistry. The cytoplasm of all epithelial cell types (principal cells, basal cells, and mitochondria-rich cells) and luminal contents reacted positively with WGA, MAA, PNA, DSA, LTA, UEA-I, AAA, and ConA. The reaction was more intense in the stereocilia of principal cells. Cytoplasmic staining was diffuse except for PNA and DSA labeling which was limited to the apical cytoplasm and stereocilia of columnar cells. The cytoplasm of all cell types also reacted diffusely with HPA, although staining was weak and was not observed in the stereocilia. Positive reaction with SBA only was encountered in the stereocilia of principal cells. SNA, LTA, and DBA were unreactive. GNA-labeling showed a granular distribution in the supranuclear cytoplasm of columnar epithelial cells. Reactions with MAA, PNA, DSA, AAA, HPA and SBA disappeared after the -elimination reaction. Reactions with WGA and UEA-I decreased after -elimination or Endo-F digestion. Reactions with ConA and GNA were suppressed by Endo-F digestion. Reactions with PNA, HPA, and SBA increased after desialylation. Of all the lectins that label the luminal contents of the vas deferens, only UEA-I was not found in the luminal contents of seminiferous tubules and epididymis and, thus, this lectin would probably bind to glycoproteins secreted by the vas deferens. The chemical treatments used suggest that this secretion contains fucose residues located in both N- and O-linked oligosaccharides. The other lectins may label secreted proteins, but also structural proteins or proteins reabsorbed from the luminal fluid. The lectin- binding pattern of mitochondria-rich cells in the vas deferens differed from that found in the epididymis. 相似文献

Summary Lectin histochemical study was performed on twenty-eight specimens of formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissues of proximal duodenum from human, cat, dog and Rhesus (macaque) monkey to demonstrate the pattern of carbohydrate residues in submucosal glands of Brunner as compared to that of the duodenal absorptive and goblet cells. Ten different biotinylated lectins were used as probes, and avidin-biotin-peroxidase (ABC) or avidin-gold-silver (AGS) complexes were used as visualants. Brunner's gland cells of the four species studied exhibited a similar lectin-binding pattern which differ from other duodenal cells. The epithelium of Brunner's gland stained intensely with Ricinus communis agglutinin-I (RCA-I), succinylated-WGA (S-WGA) and wheat-germ agglutinin (WGA), moderately with Bandeirea simplicifolia agglutinin-I (BS-I), Concanavalia ensiformis agglutinin (Con A) peanut agglutinin (PNA) and Ulex europaeus agglutinin-I (UEA-I) and occasionally with Dolichos biflorus agglutinin (DBA), Lens culinaris agglutinin (LCA) and soybean agglutinin (SBA). Desialylation with neuraminidase resulted in only a slight elevation in binding intensities of PNA, DBA and SBA, indicating that glycoconjugates of the Brunner's gland cells are rich in asialo-oligosaccharides, which differs from duodenal epithelial cells. In addition, these histochemical reagents were useful in localizing Brunner's gland elements in the duodenal mucosa. 相似文献

In order to characterize the glycoconjugate residues in skin and gills of the adult rainbow trout, the binding pattern of five biotinylated lectins with different carbohydrate specificities was examined. In the skin, mucous cells revealed binding sites for PNA and SBA; filament-containing cells were additionally labelled with Con A. However, the basal cell layer showed no reaction. In the gill, subpopulations of mucous cells reacted with Con A, PNA, SBA and UEA-I. This broader spectrum of glycoconjugates in gill mucous cells compared with the epidermal mucous cells could point to the additional function of gill mucus in ion and osmoregulation. Lectin binding sites were less common in the respiratory epithelial cells of the secondary lamellae than in those of the primary lamellae. Chloride cells revealed mannose, galactose and fucose residues. Immature chloride cells, as indicated by a comparison with Na+/K+ ATPase immunolabelling, reacted with Con A; subpopulations of them reacted with PNA, SBA and UEA-I. The results form the basis for further investigations in which these cell populations can be analysed under different environmental conditions 相似文献

The bile duct system of normal Mongolian gerbils was examined histochemically. The luminal surface membrane and apical cytoplasm of the biliary and gallbladder epithelial cells were stained with periodic acid-Schiff (PAS), alcian blue, pH 2.5 (AB) and high iron diamine (HID)-AB, and many epithelial cells of the common bile duct and gallbladder had weakly PAS-positive granular material in their supranuclear cytoplasm. Lectin-histochemically, these cells had binding sites to Concanavalia ensiformis (ConA), Dolichos biflorus (DBA), Glycine max (SBA), Ulex europeas-I (UEA-I), and Triticum vulgaris (WGA). On the other hand, the periductal glandular epithelial cells were not stained by any histochemical stainings. In addition to these light microscopic findings, the electron microscopic findings based on the periodic acid-silver methenamine method and avidin-biotin colloidal gold method for DBA and WGA suggested that the biliary and gallbladder epithelial cells of Mongolian gerbils secreted mucin with terminal sialic and sulfonic acid residues and that the lectin binding activity of mucin secreted from these cells was similar to that of mucin secreted from the periductal glandular epithelial cells of mice and rats. 相似文献

Light-microscopical lectin-binding studies were carried out in healthy and pathologically altered synovial tissue (osteoarthrosis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA)). Seven lectins were studied: Con A, DBA, PNA, RCA, SBA, UEA-I, and WGA. Con A and WGA mark all lining cells and the majority of subintimal synovial cells. RCA and SBA stain only a portion of lining cells, regardless of the basic pathology. The lectin PNA reacts only with RA and arthrotic material, and is thus suitable for the diagnosis of inflammatory changes in synovial tissue. UEA-1 is a consistent marker for capillary endothelium and large vessels. 相似文献
