Alcian blue- and periodic acid-Schiff-positive "granular basophils" with electron-dense granules +/- 160 nm in diameter, and weakly developed irregular cisternae of the granular endoplasmic reticulum (GER) are present in the rostral pars distalis (RPD) and the proximal pars distalis (PPD) of immature rainbow trout. They all react with antisalmon alpha beta-gonadotropin. However, only granular basophils in the caudal RPD and the rostro-dorsal PPD, often bordering on and sometimes surrounded by neurophypophysial tissue, react with anti-human beta-TSH. These cells, considered as the source of thyrotropin, show degranulation and dilatation of the GER-cisternae in fish treated with potassium perchlorate. The thyroids of the goitrogen-treated animals had relatively numerous small follicles with a high epithelium. The remaining granular basophils are gonadotrops. 相似文献

By means of quantitative morphological analysis tissue basophils (TB) (mast cells) in the derm and in the subcutaneous loose connective tissue have been studied at various degree of thermal lesion of the skin. Average diameter, amount of the cells per 0.1 mm2 of the slice area and distance between them serve as criteria for estimation of the TB functional activity. Certain differences have been revealed in the TB state at a weak and severe thermal lesion of the skin. At a threshold thermal action, metabolic processes in the TB become active. Burns of the skin of the II and IIIa degree result in an increased discharge of the granular component from cytoplasm and often in death of the cells. By means of multiple linear regression equations certain dependence of the degree of the thermal skin lesion on the state of the TB population in various dermal layers and in the subcutaneous loose connective tissue is stated. 相似文献

Synopsis Cellular histamine in blood and bone marrow has been identified histochemically using ano-phthaldialdehyde fluorescence reaction. The specificity of the reaction was tested by a spectrofluorometric analysis of cell extracts. In normal blood, the basophils emit a bright yellow fluorescence, whereas neutrophils, eosinophils and platelets react less consistently and when they do, they give off a less intense yellow or blue emission. In normal marrow, basophils react strongly whereas the metamyelocytes and later granular cells show only a weak yellow or blue fluorescence. In chronic myeloid leukaemia, cells of the granular series emit a strong yellow fluorescence at all stages of development, although still less intense than the basophils. During remission, the fluorescence pattern of cells from leukaemic subjects reverts to that of normal cells. 相似文献

The analysis of the authors and published data allowed to conclude that the blood-brain barrier was a complex structural-functional system. Its basic components are endothelial cells, basal membrane, pericytes, tissue basophils, and astrocytes. The role of these structural elements in the permeability of blood-brain barrier has been studied. Organ-specific peculiarities of the brain tissue basophils have been established in rats, cats, and dogs. The astrocyte-capillary complexes were found to be very reactive, and at the same time, very plastic CNS structures. 相似文献

Effect of the mi allele on mast cells, basophils, natural killer cells, and osteoclasts in C57Bl/6J mice 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

The osteopetrotic, microphthalmic (mi/mi) mouse lacks functional osteoclasts and has also been reported to be deficient in mast cells and natural-killer (NK) cells. The later deficiencies could be secondary to the osteopetrotic marrow, or a direct result of the mi allele. Therefore, heterozygotes were examined for these cell types, since these mice do not exhibit osteopetrosis. Adult +/mi animals have approximately 50%, and mi/mi animals examined by histologic techniques or tissue histamine levels have 0-10%, of the peritoneal, dermal, and intestinal mast cells compared with that of +/+ animals. Leukocyte histamine, indicative of the number of basophils, demonstrates the same pattern. Histamine content per mast cell in +/+ and +/mi animals is identical. The number of large granular lymphocytes (LGL) in splenic leukocyte preparations from +/mi animals is 50% that of +/+ animals, and these cells are undetectable in preparations from mi/mi mice. NK activity against YAC-1 cells paralleled the number of LGL present. The resorptive response of neonatal calvaria to parathyroid hormone was delayed in the case of cultured +/mi bone compared with that of +/+ bone, but the final rate of calcium release was identical. These data indicate that 1) the presence of one mi allele can affect the development of four distinct cell types, and 2) osteopetrosis alone does not account for the lack of mast cells, basophils, and NK cells in mi/mi mice. 相似文献

The granular leucocytes of an active, mature female tuatara, Sphenodon punctatus (Gray) were examined in the electron microscope. Eosinophils contained a lobulated nucleus, homogeneous, dense, irregularly shaped granules, assorted smaller granular inclusions, mitochondria and beta-glycogen. Endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complexes and ribosomes were scanty. Immature neutrophils (myelocytes) were regular in outline and contained a compact nucleus. In the adjacent centrosomal region were paired centrioles with connected microtubules, and Golgi complexes. Ovoid electron-dense granules, mitochondria, lipid droplets and numerous microfilaments arranged randomly or in bundles, lay in the cytoplasm. Mature neutrophils were often highly irregular in outline, had a segmented nucleus and contained possibly a second type of granular inclusion. The basophils were regular in outline with a compact nucleus. Numerous ovoid homogeneous, electron-dense granules, mitochondria, beta-glycogen particles and some microfilaments were seen in the cytoplasm. The granules in many basophils appeared 'altered' or degenerate and most of these contained microtubules. The cytology of the granulocytes of the tuatara is compared with that in other vertebrates. 相似文献

Using an affinity purified antibody raised against the RI-H fragment of rat intestinal lectin L-36, the latter protein has been identified within the esophageal epithelium by means of ultracryotomy followed by immunogold labeling. The epithelium consists of 4 morphologically distinct cell-types, namely, the basal, spiny, granular and squamous cells, and each of these exhibits a different immunolabeling pattern. The basal cells form a layer on the basal lamina, and in these a diffuse cytoplasmic staining is observed. This basal cell layer is overlaid by spiny cells that extend many cell processes into wide intercellular spaces. In these cells, immunogold particles are found only on small granular inclusions consisting of an electron-lucent homogeneous substance. The granular cells from a third layer over the spiny cells, and are characterized by a number of large granular inclusions with an electron-dense core rimmed by a less electron-dense substance. Immunogold labeling is found on these granules, both on the core and peripheral region. Squamous cell-types constitute the most superficial layer of the epithelium. They are without granular inclusions, and immunogold labeling is confined to the cytoplasmic surface of the thickened plasma membrane. These findings suggest that L-36 is produced in the basal cells as free cytosolic protein, then becomes progressively aggregated into the granular inclusions of the spiny and granular cells, and is eventually transferred onto the cytoplasmic surface of the squamous cell plasma membrane where it may interact with complementary glycoconjugate(s) located at this site. The membrane lining substance thus formed may play a role in stabilizing the squamous cell membranes, thereby maintaining the structural integrity of the epithelium against mechanical stress coming from the esophageal lumen. 相似文献

Basophils in skin reactions of mast cell-deficient mice infested with Dermacentor variabilis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Acquired resistance to ticks in guinea pigs has been found to be associated with basophil-rich skin reactions. Mice, which are generally believed to possess few, if any basophils, also acquire resistance following repeated tick infestations and this has been found to be associated with increased numbers of dermal mast cells. Mast cell-deficient W/Wv mice have, however, also been shown capable of acquiring resistance after two infestations with Dermacentor variabilis larvae. In the studies described here, we have examined, with the electron microscope, skin reactions in W/Wv and +/+ mice undergoing their third infestation with Dermacentor variabilis. Basophils, along with neutrophils and eosinophils, were identified using established criteria. The possibility that basophils contribute to various pathogenetic mechanisms in these and other strains of mice is discussed. 相似文献

Melanocytes and melanin granules have been studied by electron microscopy in normal human and cat skin, and in hyperplastic human skin lesions. The melanocytes have always been found as free cells within the epidermis,i.e., on the epidermal side of the dermal membrane. Melanocytes frequently rest on the dermal membrane or bulge towards the dermis. In such cases the uninterrupted dermal membrane is uniformly thin and smooth in appearance, in contrast with the regions alongside Malpighian cells, where it appears appreciably thicker and seemingly anchored to the basal cell layer. Two types of melanin granules have been distinguished according to their location in the melanocytes and to morphological characteristics which may only express different stages in the maturation of the granules: (a) light melanin granules in which a structure resembling a fine network is apparent; (b) dense melanin granules which, in osmium-fixed preparations, appear as uniformly dense masses surrounded by a coarsely granular, intensely osmiophilic shell. Treatment of sections of osmium-fixed tissues with potassium permanganate has revealed within the dense granules the existence of an organized framework in the form of a regular, crystalline-like lattice. It is suggested that this basic structure is protein in nature and may include the enzymatic system capable of producing melanin. The existence is reported of fine filaments located in the cytoplasm of melanocytes and morphologically distinct from the tonofilaments found in Malpighian cells. 相似文献

Abstract A new approach to determine the transit time through the epidermis is presented, involving a gentle washing of the skin surface to collect the loosely attached surface corneocytes. This, it is believed, will be less likely to stimulate the system than tape-stripping or scraping. Radioactively labelled thymidine and iododeoxyuridine have been used to label cells in the basal layer and various labelled amino acids (glycine, cystine and methionine) have been used to label the metabolically viable cell layers (up to and including the granular layer). The resulting changes in surface radioactivity levels have been interpreted to provide a basal to surface transit time of 8–9.5 days for hairless and haired mouse epidermis and about 13.5 days for guinea-pigs. The basal to granular layer transit time, which probably includes some basal layer residence time, is about 4.5 days in the mouse and 8 days in the guinea-pig. The granular to surface time in mice is about 5 days. The results also suggest that when nuclear and cytoplasmic organelles are degraded in the granular layer, material is released that can diffuse rapidly through the stratum corneum to the surface. Some of this can be shown by chromatography to be thymidine. Hence, the stratum corneum is pervious to molecules such as nucleosides. This rapid diffusion outwards through the skin can also be detected shortly after injecting [125 I]-iododeoxyuridine. 相似文献

Basigin is a glycosylated transmembrane protein belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily. It is thought to play roles in intercellular recognition involved in cell differentiation. We previously demonstrated at the light microscope level a correlation between basigin expression and epidermal differentiation. In the present study, the ultrastructural localization of basigin in normal human epidermal keratinocytes was investigated by immunoelectron microscopy. The basigin labeling was strongest on membranes of basal cells, weaker on prickle cells, and absent in granular and horny cells. On the membrane of basal cells, labeling was observed on the apical and lateral sides but not on the dermal side. Gold particles were mostly observed on the surface of microvilli, especially on their tips. There were fewer on the intermicrovillous membrane and they were absent on the desmosome. These results are consistent with our previous report that basigin expression is correlated with differentiation of epidermal keratinocytes. Microvilli on basal and suprabasal keratinocytes might play roles in the differentiation of keratinocytes through basigin on the tips of microvilli. 相似文献

Measurement of the transit time for cells through the epidermis and stratum corneum of the mouse and guinea-pig 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Young male rats were iv infused with synthetic LRH (L) and with L and TRH (T) in combination for 1, 3, 24, 48 and 72 hrs at each dose of 1 microgram/hr. All the basophils of the controls infused with saline are divided into the continuous cyclic types, i.e., II-, II/III, III-, III/IV- and III/IV/II-types. The II-, III- and III/IV-type cells correspond, in fine structure, with those of the classical thyrotrophs, LH- and FSH-gonadotrophs, respectively. A 1-hr infusion of L does not induce any serious changes in all the basophils. After a 3-hr infusion of L, the II-type cells disperse from the gland, while the III/IV-type cells diminished the number of their small secretory granules, and the lumina of endoplasmic reticulum are closed. After a 24-hr infusion, the irregularly shaped III/IV/II-type cells which may revert from the III/IV- to the II-type cells are accumulated, whose secretory granules are remarkably reduced in diameter (50--100 nm). There is evidence to show the diffusion mechanism of the secretory granules into the ground matrix. After a 48-hr infusion of L, most basophils take an appearance of III/IV/II-type cells; after a 72-hr infusion, all the basophils show the homologous fine structure. Thus, the morphological changes of the basophils following the L infusion resemble intrinsically those following the T infusion (Soji, 1976b). From these results, it is tentatively concluded that L does not act only on the III-type cells analogous to the "LH-cells", but universally upon a series of basophils. The transformations of the III/IV-type cells into the III/IV/II-type ones and those of the II-type ones into the III- or III/IV-type ones due to a slow infusion of L are inhibited to some extent by the infusion of T + L. The granular releases from the III/IV- and II-type cells due to a slow infusion of L are also inhibited to some extent by the infusion of T + L. For this reason, both T and L may act, not synergistically but antogonistically, upon the transformation of a series of basophils and their granular release. 相似文献

Cell-mediated responses of the moth immune system involve the interaction of two main classes of hemocytes—granular cells and plasmatocytes. During embryogenesis, granular cells arise much earlier than plasmatocytes, and the presence of granular cells is closely coupled with the formation of basal laminae that line the hemocoel occupied by hemocytes. Although epithelial cells contribute the large extracellular matrix protein lacunin to embryonic matrices before granular cells begin contributing this protein to basal laminae, the spatial pattern of lacunin expression in early embryos parallels the later distribution of granular cells over surfaces of basal laminae. Plasmatocytes arise late in embryogenesis, after the cessation of the major morphogenetic movements and the establishment of intact basal laminae. Granular cells are intimately involved with remodeling of basal laminae, and disruptions in the structure of basal laminae can trigger an autoimmune response of granular cells and plasmatocytes. By arising after basal laminae have been molded and remodeled by granular cells, plasmatocytes presumably do not encounter the cues that trigger their aggregation and an autoimmune response.Edited by P.

Frogs of the Pleurodema thaul species have a pair of prominent elevated cutaneous glands dorsolaterally, just posterior to the sacrum, which are named lumbar glands. We have studied histologically these glands and found that their chromatophores are disposed mainly immediately under the epidermis structuring a dermal chromatophore unit. Similar to the other anuran macroglands, the lumbar glands are constituted basically by granular alveoli filled with secretion. The presence of these granular alveoli and the typical distribution of the dermal chromatophores to suggest a defensive role for the lumbar glands. In most of the amphibians granular alveoli contain secretions with toxicity for several vertebrates. On the other hand, chromatophores in this frog species, probably play an aposematic function, since their disposition on the skin permits that the lumbar glands might be taken for eyes, probably giving to an eventual predator the impression that it may be an animal of higher dimensions. 相似文献

We established a diphtheria toxin (DT)-based conditional deletion system using Il4 enhancer elements previously shown to be specific for IL-4 production in mast cells (MCs) or basophils (Mas-TRECK and Bas-TRECK mice). DT treatment of Bas-TRECK mice resulted in specific deletion of basophils, whereas both MCs and basophils were deleted in Mas-TRECK mice. DT-treated Mas-TRECK mice had impaired passive cutaneous anaphylaxis, IgE-mediated passive systemic anaphylaxis, and IgE-mediated chronic allergic inflammation, whereas DT-treated Bas-TRECK mice had impaired IgE-mediated chronic allergic inflammation. Using these mice, we also sought to tease out the role of MCs and basophils in airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR). Although MC deletion resulted in a slight increase in basal Ag-specific IgE levels and significant increases in basal IgE levels, we found that this deletion markedly impaired the AHR effector phase and was accompanied by decreased histamine levels. By contrast, basophil deletion had no effect on the AHR effector phase or on IgE production induced by systemic OVA immunization. Our results, using these newly established Mas-TRECK and Bas-TRECK models, demonstrated an indispensable role for MCs as effector cells in AHR. 相似文献

Exocrine dermal glands, comparable to the class 3 glandular units of insects, are found in the gills of the grass shrimp, Palaemonetes pugio. The dermal glands are composed of three cells: secretory cell, hillock cell and canal cell. Originating as a complex invagination of the apical cytoplasm of the granular secretory cell, a duct ascends through the hillock and canal cells to the cuticular surface. The duct is divisible into four regions: the secretory apparatus in the granular secretory cell, the locular complex, the hillock region within the hillock cell and the canal within the canal cell. A tubular ductule is contained within the latter two regions. As the ductule ascends to the cuticular surface, its constitution gradually changes from one of a fibrous material to one which possesses layers of epicuticle. During the proecdysial period, the ductule is extruded into the ecdysial space and this is followed by the secretion of a new ductule. Temporary ciliary structures, located near the secretory apparatus of the secretory cell, are associated with the extrusion and reformation of the ductule. Characterized only by a basal body and rootlets throughout most of the intermolt cycle, the ciliary organelles give rise to temporary axonemic processes which ascend through the ductule toward the ecdysial space at the onset of proecdysis. Subsequently, the old ductule is sloughed off and a new ductule is reformed around the ciliary axonemes. Following this reformation, the ciliary axonemes degenerate. The function of cytoplasmic processes, derived from the apical cytoplasm of the secretory cell, is also discussed. 相似文献

In terrestrial snails and slugs, the presence of five types of neurons has been shown: typical granular, horizontal, stellate,
apical, and basal cells. A peculiarity of procerebrum neurons is a loop-like segment of the basal process. Granular cells
have been established to spread both as cell columns and as single cells. The number of the columns and the number of cells
in each column depend on the age and individual peculiarities of the animal. In the course of ontogenesis, there also occur
changes of the number of processes-outgrowths of granular cell bodies as well as of the character of thickenings and the type
of endings on their main processes. Basal neurons and single granular cells of the columns form several independent tracts
running from the procerebrum cell body areas to metacerebrums. The single granular cells, horizontal cells, and a part of
basal neurons are considered as associative elements providing formation in procerebrums of the single system that is a basis
for the synchronized activity of the whole neuronal complex. A similarity of organization of procerebrums and of associative-integrative
centers of higher animals is discussed. 相似文献

Abstract. Dissection of the ovaries of the mosquito Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) revealed, in each ovariole, a group of seven to nine specialized epithelial cells in a region of the calyx wall that is enclosed by the end of the ovariolar sheath. This group of cells is termed the basal body. During ovulation, the mature oocyte passes from the ovariole into the calyx lumen through the basal body. Subsequently, granulation occurs in the basal body cells. The granular basal bodies differ from all previously described ovarian structures. In multiparous females the size and optical density of the granular basal bodies increase after each ovulation. Examination of the granular basal bodies in intact ovaries, stained with neutral red, provides an easy method for distinguishing parous from nulliparous females, and has potential as a new method of age grading. 相似文献
