Immunohistochemistry has been used to demonstrate tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), dopamine--hydroxylase (DBH), phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PNMT), neuropeptide Y (NPY) and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) immunoreactivities, and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity was demonstrated in rat adrenal glands. The TH, DBH, NPY and VIP immunoreactivities and AChE activity were observed in both the large ganglion cells and the small chromaffin cells whereas PNMT immunoreactivity was found only in chromaffin cells, and not in ganglion cells. Most intraadrenal ganglion cells showed NPY immunoreactivity and a few were VIP immunoreactive. Numerous NPY-immunoreactive ganglion cells were also immunoreactive for TH and DBH; these cells were localized as single cells or groups of several cells in the adrenal cortex and medulla. Use of serial sections, or double and triple staining techniques, showed that all TH- and DBH-immunoreactive ganglion cells also showed NPY immunoreactivity, whereas some NPY-immunoreactive ganglion cells were TH and DBH immunonegative. NPY-immunoreactive ganglion cells showed no VIP immunoreactivity. AChE activity was seen in VIP-immunopositive and VIP-immunonegative ganglion cells. These results suggest that ganglion cells containing noradrenaline and NPY, or NPY only, or VIP and acetylcholine occur in the rat adrenal gland; they may project within the adrenal gland or to other target organs. TH, DBH, NPY, and VIP were colocalized in numerous immunoreactive nerve fibres, which were distributed in the superficial adrenal cortex, while TH-, DBH- and NPY-immunoreactive ganglion cells and nerve fibres were different from VIP-immunoreactive ganglion cells and nerve fibres in the medulla. This suggests that the immunoreactive nerve fibres in the superficial cortex may be mainly extrinsic in origin and may be different from those in the medulla. 相似文献

The aims of the present study were to detect the ontogeny of estrogen receptor (ERα and ERβ) and androgen receptor (AR) expressions
and their co-localization with Islet-1 in the developing dorsal root ganglia (DRG) of sheep fetuses by immunohistochemistry.
From the single staining results, the ERα immunoreactivity (ERα-ir), ERβ immunoreactivity (ERβ-ir) and AR immunoreactivity
(AR-ir) was first detected at days 90, 120 and 90 of gestation, respectively. From days 90 to 120, ERα and AR were consistently
detected in the nuclei of DRG neurons and the relative percentage (approximately 60%) of ERα-ir or AR-ir cells did not change
significantly. Moreover, there was no change in ERα expression, while a dramatic loss of AR expression was observed at birth.
From day 120 of gestation to birth, very few neurons (approximately 8%) showed nuclear ERβ immunoreactivity. The dual staining
results showed that Islet-1 was co-localized with ERα, ERβ or AR in the nuclei of DRG neurons with various frequencies, and
over 70% ERα-ir, ERβ-ir or AR-ir cells contained Islet-1. These results imply that ERs, AR and Islet-1 may be important in
regulating the differentiation and functional maintenance of some phenotypes of DRG neurons after mid-gestation in the sheep
fetus. 相似文献

Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) catalyzes the formation of nitric oxide (NO) from L-arginine. In this study, the cellular localization
of neuronal NOS (nNOS) activity in the human retina since fetal development was examined by immunohistochemistry. No detectable
staining in the fetal retina was present at 14 weeks of gestation (wg), the earliest age group examined. A centro-peripheral
gradient of development of nNOS immunoreactivity was evident at 16–17 wg, with the midperipheral retina showing nNOS immunoreactivity
in most of the cell types and the inner plexiform layer while the peripheral part demonstrated moderate immunoreactivity only
in the ganglion cell layer and photoreceptor precursors. A transient increase in nNOS immunoreactivity in the ganglion cells
and Müller cell endfeet between 18–19 and 24–25 wg was observed at the time when programmed cell death in the ganglion cell
layer, loss of optic nerve fibres as well as increase in glutamate immunoreactivity and parvalbumin (a calcium binding protein)
immunoreactivity in the ganglion cells was reported. These observations indicate that programmed cell death of ganglion cells
in the retina may be linked to glutamate toxicity and NO activity, as also suggested by others in the retina and cerebral
cortex.
The presence of nNOS immunoreactivity in the photoreceptors from 16–17 weeks of fetal life to adulthood indicates other functions,
besides their involvement in photoreceptor function of transduction and information processing. 相似文献

The lectin-binding patterns of the cells involved in amelogenesis and dentinogenesis in developing teeth of rats were studied. Undifferentiated odontogenic epithelia exhibited very slight staining with almost all of the lectins examined. The lectin-staining affinities of secretory ameloblasts could be divided into two categories: Concanavalin-A (Con-A), Wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) and Soybean agglutinin (SBA) binding occurred from the middle to apical cytoplasm, whereas Ricinus communis agglutinin-I (RCA-I) and Ulex europeus I (UEA-I) binding predominated in the basal regions. The cells of the stratum intermedium exhibited relatively strange lectin staining, which appeared to be dependent on ameloblastic maturation. The basement membranes in undifferentiated epithelia were markedly positive for lectin binding. Odontoblasts showed moderate Con-A staining on the apical side of the cells, as well as slight-to-moderate reactions with WGA and SBA. Pulp cells and dental papillae showed slight-to-moderate lectin staining, and predentin and dentin were also moderately positive for Con-A and RCA-I binding and slightly so for WGA and SBA. The lectin-binding affinities were enhanced during the formation of enamel and dentin, and appeared to be dependent on the degree of cellular differentiation in ameloblasts and odontoblasts. 相似文献

In this study we have demonstrated the presence of neuropeptide substance P (SP)and nonpeptide neurotransmiter NO (nitric oxide) in the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) of rabbits. NADPH-diaphorase histochemical staining was used for detection of NO and an immunohistochemical method for detection of substance P. A number of DRG cells were stained by SP- and NADPH-d reactions. The presence of SP and NADPH-diaphorase positive cells varied depending upon the spinal level of the DRG. Positively stained neurons were only small and intermediate in size. Cells of large diameter profiles showed no staining. Substance P immunoreactive cells were of brown and dark brown colour, the intensity of NADPH-d staining varied from light to very dark blue. In some DRG cells, there was very significant neuronal co-localization of immunoreactivity for SP and reactivity for NADPH-d. In summary, DRG cells appear to express diaphorase and substance P activity, and some of them show the presence of both neurotransmitters. Recent studies on the participation of NO in the regulation of SP release in the spinal cord suggest, that also in the DRG neurons there may be a close interaction between NO and SP. 相似文献

Previous studies from this and other laboratories demonstrated that many embryonic sensory ganglion cells in the rat transiently express the catecholamine synthesizing enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), a trait not expressed by most mature sensory neurons. We, therefore, sought to determine whether transient expression was uniquely associated with catecholaminergic traits, or, alternatively, whether embryonic ganglion cells transiently expressed peptidergic properties as well. Of the four peptides examined (somatostatin [somatotropin release inhibiting factor] (SRIF), galanin (Gal), calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), and substance P (SP)), only SRIF was found to be transiently expressed during early stages of sensory gangliogenesis. Surprisingly, SRIF immunoreactivity was observed in virtually all cranial and spinal sensory ganglion cells on embryonic day (E) 12.5. In addition to perikaryal labeling, intense SRIF immunoreactivity was also observed in the central and peripheral processes of E12.5 sensory neurons, suggesting the peptide may be released from nerve endings. The time course of SRIF appearance in cranial ganglion cells paralleled that previously described for TH, and double-labeling studies revealed extensive co-localization of these two phenotypes. By E16.5, however, the number of neurons expressing SRIF had diminished markedly, indicating that SRIF is only transiently expressed by most sensory neurons during early stages of ganglion development. An unexpected finding was that transient expression of SRIF is also a prominent feature of sympathetic ganglion cells; however, the temporal pattern of staining in the sympathetic and sensory ganglia differed substantially. Whereas virtually no SRIF staining was observed in E12.5 sympathetics, the vast majority of cells in the E16.5 superior cervical ganglion (SCG) were labeled. This contrasted sharply with the adult SCG, in which only low levels of SRIF expression were found. These findings demonstrate that SRIF peptide is transiently expressed at high levels in peripheral sensory and sympathetic neurons during embryogenesis. The time course and widespread distribution of SRIF expression indicates that the peptide may play a role in early stages of ganglion cell growth and development. Moreover, these data, in conjunction with previous studies demonstrating SRIF immunoreactivity in developing central neurons, suggest that transient expression of this peptide is a common property of diverse neuronal cell types. 相似文献

Summary Epidermoid metaplasia in the hamster trachea can be produced by treatment with benzo(a)pyrene (BP) or vitamin A deficiency.
To elucidate distinguishing features of the two types of lesions, lectin binding to tissue sections of tracheal explants exhibiting
metaplastic lesions was assessed. In squamous metaplasia induced by vitamin A deficiency, Dolichos biflorus agglutinin (DBA),
wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), and peanut agglutinin (PNA) showed faint (+) to moderate (++) binding in both basal and suprabasal
cells; Concanavalin A (Con A) showed moderate binding (++) to suprabasal cells and no binding in basal cells. In the BP-induced
lesions, PNA and WGA bound intensely (++++, +++, respectively) in basal cells and faintly (+) to moderately (++) in suprabasal
cells. The staining seemed to be predominant at the periphery of the cells. Further, the intensity of PNA and WGA staining
increased significantly after the neuraminidase treatment. DBA and Con A showed faint (+) to moderate (++) binding in the
BP-induced metaplasia. The results show that in BP-induced metaplasia, cells in the basal region show preferential binding
of PNA and WGA.

Summary The binding of a panel of eight different fluorescein-conjugated lectins to rat spermatogenic cells was investigated. Particular attention was paid to the effects of different fixation methods and proteolytic enzyme digestion on the staining pattern.Concanavalin A (Con A), wheatgerm agglutinin (WGA), succinylated WGA (s-WGA) and agglutinin from gorse (UEA I) stained the cytoplasm of most germ cells as well as the spermatid acrosome. In contrast, peanut agglutinin (PNA), castor bean agglutinin (RCAI) and soy bean agglutinin (SBA) mainly stained the acrosome. The staining pattern varied depending on the fixation method used. PNA was particularly sensitive to formalin fixation, while SBA, DBA and UEA I showed decreased binding and Con A, WGA, s-WGA and RCA I were insensitive to this type of fixation. Pepsin treatment of the sections before lectin staining caused marked changes in the staining pattern; staining with PNA in formalin-fixed tissue sections was particularly improved but there was also enhanced staining with SBA and horse gram agglutinin (DBA). On the other hand, in Bouin- and particularly in acetone-fixed tissue sections, pepsin treatment decreased the staining with several of the lectins, for example WGA and UEA I. 相似文献

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

Neurochemical Characteristics of a Novel Dorsal Root Ganglion X Neuroblastoma Hybrid Cell Line, F-11 总被引:5,自引:3,他引:2

We investigated the properties of the novel dorsal root ganglion (DRG) hybrid cell line F-11 to see how closely these cells resembled normal DRG cells. Under normal growth conditions, F-11 cells appeared to contain several short neurite-like processes. However, these cells could also be grown under conditions in which they showed a much more extensive neuronal morphology, exhibiting many long neurites. Several differentiated features of DRG cells were present on F-11 cells. These included the presence of delta-opioid receptors, receptors for prostaglandins and bradykinin, and dihydropyridine-sensitive calcium channels. F-11 cells also synthesized and released a substance P-like compound, as determined by immunoreactivity. Both the number of bradykinin receptors and the voltage-sensitive calcium influx increased on cell differentiation. Opioid agonists (delta-specificity) were found to decrease cyclic AMP levels in F-11 cells in a naloxone- and pertussis toxin-reversible fashion. Bradykinin stimulated the synthesis of inositol-1,4-bisphosphate and inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate. Ca2+ channel agonists stimulated voltage-sensitive Ca2+ influx in a dose-dependent, stereospecific manner, whereas Ca2+ channel antagonists inhibited Ca2+ influx. F-11 cells should, therefore, prove useful as models for authentic DRG neurons. 相似文献

Biochemical and histochemical studies have shown the presence of various carbohydrates in enamel. Using lectin-gold cytochemistry, we have examined the distribution of glycoconjugates containing N-acetyl-D-galactosamine (GalNAc) and/or N-acetyl-glucosamine (GlcNAc)/N-acetyl-neuraminic acid (NeuNAc) residues in rat incisor ameloblasts and in forming and maturing enamel embedded in Lowicryl K4M, LR Gold, and LR White resins. The enamel proteins that contain these carbohydrate moieties were further characterized by lectin blotting. All three resins allowed, albeit to a variable degree, detection of the binding sites for Helix pomatia agglutinin (HPA) and wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) GalNAc, and GlcNAc/NeuNAc, respectively. In general, Lowicryl K4M permitted more intense reactions with both lectins. Lectin binding was observed over the rough endoplasmic reticulum (weak labeling with WGA), the Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, secretory granules, and the enamel matrix. These compartments were shown by double labeling with WGA and anti-amelogenin antibody, and by previous immunocytochemical studies, to contain enamel proteins. Furthermore, WGA binding was more concentrated at the growth sites of enamel. Lectin blotting showed that several proteins in the amelogenin group were glycosylated and contained the sugars GalNAc and GlcNAc/NeuNAc. Fewer proteins were stained by HPA than by WGA, and the staining pattern suggested that the extracellular proteins recognized by these two lectins are processed differently. The HPA-reactive proteins were lost by or during the early maturation stage, whereas many of the WGA-reactive proteins persisted into the mid maturation stage. The heterogeneous staining of certain protein bands observed with WGA suggests that they contain more than one component. Two distinct glycoproteins containing GlcNAc/NeuNAc also appeared during the maturation stage. These results are consistent with the notion that ameloblasts produce an extracellular matrix composed mainly of glycosylated amelogenins which are differently processed throughout amelogenesis. 相似文献

An analysis of the dopamine-β-hydroxylase activity in various ocular tissues revealed low enzymatic activity in all the retinas analysed. Bovine and monkey retinas had the highest enzyme activity. The enzyme is also present in bovine optic nerve and pigment epithelium/choroid complex, and low levels are present in the vitreous. Immunohistochemical analysis of various retinas with an antiserum raised to bovine adrenal dopamine-β-hydroxylase-showed positive staining only in monkey and bovine retinas. In both instances dopamine-β-hydroxylase immunoreactivity was associated with cells in the ganglion cell layer. These cells are probably ganglion cells since some positive staining was also observed in the bovine optic nerve. Autoradiographical analysis of the uptake of [3H]noradrenaline showed that grains were associated with some structures in the ganglion cell layer. A single prominent layer of terminals at the junction of the inner nuclear and inner plexiform layer of the bovine retina was also apparent. This was considered to be due to [3H]noradrenaline accumulation by dopaminergic amacrine cells. The results suggest that a small number of noradrenergic and/or adrenergic ganglion cells may exist in certain retinas. 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

Polycystic kidney disease 1-like 3 (Pkd1l3) is expressed specifically in sour-sensing type III taste cells that have synaptic contacts with afferent nerve fibers in circumvallate (CvP) and foliate papillae (FoP) located in the posterior region of the tongue, although not in fungiform papillae (FuP) or the palate. To visualize the gustatory neural pathways that originate from type III taste cells in CvP and FoP, we established transgenic mouse lines that express the transneuronal tracer wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) under the control of the mouse Pkd1l3 gene promoter/enhancer. The WGA transgene was accurately expressed in Pkd1l3-expressing type III taste cells in CvP and FoP. Punctate WGA protein signals appeared to be detected specifically in type III taste cells but not in other types of taste cells. WGA protein was transferred primarily to a subset of neurons located in close proximity to the glossopharyngeal (GL) nerve bundles in the nodose/petrosal ganglion (NPG). WGA signals were also observed in a small population of neurons in the geniculate ganglion (GG). This result demonstrates the anatomical connection between taste receptor cells (TRCs) in the FoP and the chorda tympani (CT) nerves. WGA protein was further conveyed to neurons in a rostro-central subdivision of the nucleus of the solitary tract (NST). These findings demonstrate that the approximately 10?kb 5'-flanking region of the mouse Pkd1l3 gene functions as a type III taste cell-specific promoter/enhancer. In addition, experiments using the pkd1l3-WGA transgenic mice reveal a sour gustatory pathway that originates from TRCs in the posterior region of the tongue. 相似文献

Summary After stimulation of the mouse peritoneal cavity with newborn calf serum (NBCS), four types of monocyte and macrophage were distinguished on the basis of peroxidase (PO) patterns. These cell types showed heterogeneity in their binding of the lectin wheat-germ agglutinin (WGA). At 16 h after stimulation, monocytes and monocyte-derived macrophages (with PO activity in granules) had a high level of WGA binding; PO-negative macrophages showed moderate WGA binding, and resident macrophages (with PO activity in the RER and nuclear envelope) had low WGA binding. At later time-points after stimulation, each of these cell types lost WGA binding sites. This decrease was related to a process of differentiation and to a modulation, affected by environmental factors. The present results also indicated that PO-negative macrophages can give rise to resident macrophages. Whether these PO-negative cells are monocyte derived or originate otherwise needs further investigation. The fourth type of macrophage, the exudate-resident cell (wtth PO activity both in granules and in the RER and nuclear envelope), with a WGA binding pattern similar to that of monocytes and monocyte-derived macrophages, was considered not to be a resident precursor cell. 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
