The biogenesis of basement-membrane components was investigated in the endodermal cells of the rat parietal yolk sac in 12.5-day pregnant rats; 3H-proline was injected into conceptuses. After various time intervals, the parietal yolk sac, including endodermal cells and the associated Reichert's membrane, was removed and processed for electron-microscopic radioautography. Silver grains were counted over endodermal cell organelles and Reichert's membrane. At 2 and 5 min after 3H-proline injection, endodermal cells showed heavy labeling in rough endoplasmic reticulum (rER). Silver grain density over the rER decreased from 2 to 20 min and then remained at a plateau. Grain density was moderate over the Golgi apparatus initially but rose to a peak at 2 hr and decreased by 4 hr and later. Grain density was negligible over secretory granules at 2 and 5 min and increased moderately with time to reach a maximum at 8 hr. Thus, radioautographic peaks occurred sequentially in rER, Golgi apparatus, and secretory granules. By 4 hr and later, silver grains accumulated over Reichert's membrane. These results indicated that endodermal cells incorporated labeled proline into substances which were processed from the rER through the Golgi apparatus, transported from there to the cell surface by secretory granules, and released for export to Reichert's membrane. To clarify the nature of the exported substances, the amount of label present in proline and hydroxyproline residues after 3H-proline injection was measured in Reichert's membrane with or without the associated endodermal cells. Within the cells, 61.8% of the labeled proteins were classified as "sedentary" and 38.2% as "exportable." Of the label exported to Reichert's membrane, 66.3% consisted of type IV collagen and the rest of other basement-membrane components. The results obtained with this model suggest that basement-membrane proteins, including type IV collagen, are elaborated by the associated cells through the classical pathway: rER-Golgi apparatus-secretory granules. 相似文献

Summary Sections of atrial cardiocytes from young rats were subjected to radioautography after a single intravenous injection of L-leucine-4,5 3H to identify the sites of synthesis and to follow the migration of newly-formed proteins. As early as 2 min after injection of L-leucine 3H, the label was highest in the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), suggesting that cisternal ribosomes are sites of protein synthesis. By 5 min, most of the label had migrated from the RER to the Golgi complex. Some label was already present over specific granules by 2 min but the peak was reached at 1 h. By 4 h, the label over the specific granules had diminished, possibly indicating a release of newly-synthetized secretory material outside the cell. The label over myofilaments and Z-bands was relatively high at most time intervals, suggesting an early and important incorporation of leucine into the contractile and structural proteins of these organelles. The label over the cytosol was initially high and increased even further at 5 and 20 min but decreased to a very low level at 4 h. In contrast, the label over the cell surface rose continuously and peaked at 4 h. The pattern of increment of the label over the cell surface suggests that the newly-formed proteins of these sites are also synthetized in the RER, pass through the Golgi complex and are transported in the cytosol before reaching their destination. 相似文献

Summary The subcellular localization of lactoferrin in human neutrophils was studied by an electron-microscopic immunoperoxidase method. This molecule was detected in small granules of blood polymorphonuclear leukocytes. A morphometrical analysis showed that there was no significant difference in the mean size between lactoferrin-positive and myeloperoxidase-negative granules. In contrast, the mean size of myeloperoxidase-positive granules was significantly larger than that of lactoferrin-positive granules. This indicates that lactoferrin is contained in the myeloperoxidase-negative, secondary, granules of human neutrophils. In immature bone marrow mononuclear neutrophils, lactoferrin was present in cytoplasmic granules of somewhat larger size than lactoferrin-positive granules of polymorphonuclear leucocytes. A morphometrical study showed that the mean size of lactoferrin-positive granules was significantly greater in immature bone marrow cells than in polymorphonuclear leucocytes. This indicates that lactoferrin-positive granules decrease in size as the cells mature. Besides cytoplasmic granules, lactoferrin was demonstrated in the Golgi complex and a part of the rough endoplasmic reticulum of immature bone marrow neutrophils, probably myelocytes and early metamyelocytes. These results show that lactoferrin is synthesized and packed into secondary granules in immature bone marrow neutrophils and therefore that the secondary granules are a type of secretory granule. 相似文献

It is known that colonic goblet cells utilize glucose to synthesize the carbohydrate portion of mucus glycoprotein. To determine the intracellular site of this synthesis, glucose-H3 was injected into 10-g rats. At 5, 20, 40 min, 1, 1½, and 4 hr after injection, segments of colon were fixed and prepared for electron microscope radioautography. By 5 min after injection, label had been incorporated into substances present in the flattened saccules of the Golgi complex. At 20 min, both Golgi saccules and nearby mucigen granules were labeled. By 40 min, mucigen granules carried almost all detectable radioactivity. Between 1 and 4 hr, these labeled granules migrated from the supranuclear region to the apical membrane; here, they were extruded singly, retaining their limiting membrane. The evidence indicates that the Golgi saccule is the site where complex carbohydrate is synthesized and is added to immigrant protein to form the complete glycoprotein of mucus. The Golgi saccule, distended by this material, becomes mucigen granules. It is roughly estimated that one saccule is released by each Golgi stack every 2 to 4 min: a conclusion implying continuous renewal of Golgi stacks. It appears that the Golgi synthesis, intracellular migration, and release of mucus glycoprotein occur continually throughout the life of the goblet cell. 相似文献

Summary Sections of juxtaglomerular cells from sodium-deficient rats were subjected to radioautography after a single intravenous injection of L-tyrosine3,5 3H or of L-fucose 3H to identify the sites of synthesis and to follow the migration of newly-formed proteins and glycoproteins. As early as 2 min after injection of L-tyrosine 3H, the label was highest in the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), suggesting that cisternal ribosomes are sites of protein synthesis. By 60 min, much of the label had migrated from the RER to the Golgi complex. Some radioactivity was already present over specific granules by 2 min but a peak was reached at 4h. The label over myofilaments was evident at all time intervals, indicating a certain incorporation of tyrosine into their contractile and/or structural proteins. The label over the cell surface peaked at 4h. After injection of L-fucose 3H, there was an early and important relative specific radioactivity in the Golgi complex at 5 min with a peak at 20 min and a decrease thereafter. The label increased slightly but steadily in secretory granules and cell surface to reach maxima at 4 h. A low level of radioactivity was recorded in mitochondria at all time intervals. After injection of both fucose 3H and tyrosine 3H, the label was detected at relatively low levels in the cytosol. These results suggest that renin, as the major secretory glycoprotein of juxtaglomerular cells, is synthetized in the RER, packaged in the Golgi complex and found relatively rapidly in newly-formed secretory granules. Part of the fucose and tyrosine labels is also associated with the thick cell coat of these cells.Recipient of a summer fellowship from the Kidney Foundation of Canada 相似文献

The secretory activity of parathyroid glands in rats was stimulated by decreasing the serum Ca++ concentration through constant intravenous infusion of EGTA. The morphometric analysis of the nuclear and cytoplasmic volume and of the surface area of the rough endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complex, secretory granules and plasma membrane revealed a membrane shift from secretory granules and Golgi complex to the plasma membrane within 1 hr of calcium depression. Subsequently, between 1 and 3 hr of calcium depression, the membrane shift was from the plasma membrane to the Golgi complex. It is considered likely that these membrane shifts are related to a rise in release of parathyroid hormone by exocytosis and a subsequent increase in retrieval of plasma membrane by endocytosis—probably through the compartment of coated pits and coated and uncoated vesicles. 相似文献

To clarify 24-hr variations in rat thyroid follicular cells under physiological conditions, their subcellular structures were examined at six evenly spaced times during 24 hr by using a morphometric technique. The volume, surface, and numerical densities of subcellular structures varied distinctly over each 24-hr period, with a bimodal pattern. The cellular and nuclear volumes varied also bimodally over 24 hr. A decrease in the surface density of the apical plasmalemma at 1200 and 0000 hr coincided with an increase in volume density of cytoplasmic granules representing colloid droplets and dense bodies. Most granules (colloid droplets) appearing at these times were reduced in electron density. At other times, especially at 1600 and 0400 hr, morphometric parameters of rough endoplasmic reticulum (rER), Golgi complex, and subapical vesicles were prominently increased, although values for rER did not peak at 1600 hr. At these times, the volume densities of cytoplasmic granules, most of which were heterogeneous and of homogeneous electron density, were decreased. These findings coincided with immediate and subsequent reactions of follicular cells after injection of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). From the evidence, it seems likely that variations in follicular cells over a 24-hr period reflect variations in blood TSH concentration. The total membrane areas of membrane components in follicular cells were calculated from the morphometric measurements. These areas fluctuated unimodally during 24 hr over a 65% range. This suggests that the membranes in follicular cells are subjected to cyclic degradation and regeneration during each 24-hr period. 相似文献

Bone marrow embedding in the hydrophilic resin, Lowicryl K4M, followed by cationic colloidal gold (CCG, pH 1.0) staining
was used to study the sulfated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and their sites of sulfation ultrastructurally in various maturational
stages of both basophil granulocytes and basophil granules in the guinea pig. CCG at pH 1.0 is specific for sulfated GAG staining.
Basophil granulocytes and granules reacted positively to CCG with a variety of staining according to the stage of maturation.
The formation of basophil granules takes place throughout the myelocyte stage. Early basophil myelocytes contain a large Golgi
apparatus with active granulogenesis, while late myelocytes contain a small and less active Golgi apparatus as judged by CCG
staining. All the immature granules and some of the granules with characteristic ultrastructure stained positively. However,
some of the mature granules had lost their affinity for CCG upon maturation. Interestingly, strongly positive CCG staining
was also observed in the trans to transmost Golgi apparatus. This indicates that sulfation of GAGs occurs in the trans to transmost Golgi apparatus in all maturational stages of basophil granulocytes. Treatment with chondroitinase ABC or heparinase
I abolished the majority of CCG staining.

The synthesis, intracellular transport, storing, and excretion of proteins by duck hypophyseal cells in organ culture were studied with tritiated DL-leucine and high resolution radioautography (pulse-labeling experiments). Quantitative study of the radioautographs allowed a determination of the relative proportions of cytoplasmic radioactivity located in each cellular compartment (ergastoplasm, Golgi apparatus, and protein granules) as well as the variations in these proportions as a function of time. The number of labeled protein granules as opposed to the total number of granules in the cell was also determined (RSg). These data were separately analyzed for the two types of cells present in the explants: prolactin cells and "MSH" cells. The synthetic process follows a course common to both cell types, each of which is distinguished by its particular modalities. The labeled proteins, synthesized within several minutes in the ergastoplasm, are concentrated in the Golgi zone within 30 min. They then migrate out of this area, the emptying of which is accomplished in about 4 hr. These proteins become equally distributed between the protein granules, on the one hand, and the cytoplasm ("sedentary" proteins), on the other. The RSg reaches its maximum when the Golgi zone is emptied, but this figure remains very low (3%). The RSg then decreases slowly (1% in 40 hr). It is concluded that hypophyseal cells are able to store protein in their granules and that their processes of synthesis and excretion are not continuous. The prolactin cells differ from the "MSH" cells in that they have a slower migration of newly synthesized proteins, and these proteins pass via the dilated ergastoplasmic cisterns in which they may possibly be stored. 相似文献

The structure of bone marrow from chickens and pigeons was studied with light and electron microscopy. Erythropoiesis occurs in the lumen of the medullary sinuses. Immature erythroid cells appear to adhere to the sinus wall and may thus be prevented from entering the peripheral circulation. The wall of the medullary sinuses is formed by elongated lining cells, lacking a basement membrane, which are continous except at sites where blood cells are passing through them. When viewed with the electron microscope, developing heterophil myelocytes, which occur only in the extravascular spaces, possess two populations of granules; one type is globular in content, the other is fibrillar in content. The globular type predominates during all stages of development and appears to be the specific granule. Specific granules originate from material which is formed in the Golgi complex, pinches off, and accumulates in expanded vesicles. The origin of the material in the fibrillar granules was not determined. Like the globular granules of heterophil leucocytes, granules of eosinophil leucocytes arise from material which is formed in the Golgi complex. 相似文献

The secretory process in pituitary mammotrophs was analyzed by quantitative electron microscope autoradiography. Dispersed pituitary cells from estrogen-treated female rats were subjected to pulse- labeling with [3H]leucine (5 min) followed by a chase incubation of up to 4 h. Autoradiograms were prepared using fine-grained emulsion (Kodak 129-01), and analyzed using a three-step "mask analysis' procedure: (a) the distribution of autoradiographic grains is determined as in a simple grain density analysis; (b) masks (transparent overlays) are used to generate expected grains from assumed sources; and (c) a computer program compares these two distributions and varies the expected distribution to match the observed distribution, thereby identifying the radioactive sources in the tissue. The overall route of intracellular transport of prolactin from rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) leads to Golgi complex leads to immature secretory granules leads to mature secretory granules was as established in previous studies. However, by use of the high resolution emulsion and method of analysis, the precision with which label could be localized within individual source compartments was much greater and the time resolution was much sharper than achieved previously using Ilford L4 emulsion and simple grain density analysis. The main new findings were as follows: (a) the ER was essentially drained of radioactivity by 30 min, the Golgi complex by 1 h, and the immature secretory granules by 2h postpulse. This indicates that the secretory product (prolactin) is rapidly and efficiently transported out of these compartments. (b) approximately 30% of the total radioactivity remains located in the ground cytoplasm over the entire postpulse period examined (up to 4 h), and by 30 min postpulse the grain density in the ground cytoplasm exceeded that of the ER. This indicates the ability to resolve ER-associated label (presumably associated mainly with secretory products) from the cytoplasmic label (presumably associated with nonsecretory proteins). (c) the specific activity of immature secretory granules was much greater than previously appreciated; at 1 h postpulse it was greater than 200 times that of the adjacent Golgi complex cisternae. This large dynamic range in observed grain density demonstrates the ability to effectively correct for radiation spread and thus to detect with great accuracy high concentration of label even from very small structures (20-100 nm) which constitute a small percentage (less than 1%) of the total cell area. 相似文献

3H-fucose was injected into the vitreous body of the eye(s) of 250-gm rats, which were then killed by means of an intracardiac perfusion with glutaraldehyde after intervals of 10 min, 1 and 4 hr, and 1 and 7 days. The eyes were removed and further fixed, and pieces of retina were processed for light and electron microscope radioautography. Light microscope radioautography showed that the pigment epithelial cells actively incorporated 3H-fucose label. The intensity of reaction peaked at 4 hr after injection of the label and then slowly declined. Quantitative electron microscope radioautography revealed that, at 10 min after 3H-fucose injection, over 70% of the label was localized to the Golgi apparatus, indicating that fucose residues are added to newly synthesized glycoproteins principally at this site. With time the proportion of label associated with the Golgi apparatus decreased, but that assigned to the infolded basal plasma membrane, the apical microvilli, and various apical lysosomes increased. These results indicate that in retinal pigment epithelial cells newly synthesized glycoproteins continuously migrate from the Golgi apparatus to lysosomes and to various regions of the plasma membrane. In this case, the membrane glycoproteins may play specific roles in receptor functions of the basal plasma membrane or phagocytic activities at the apical surface. Very little label migrated to Bruch's membrane, indicating either a very slow turnover or a paucity of fucose-containing glycoproteins at this site. 相似文献

Using bone marrow embedded in hydrophilic resin Lowicryl K4M and cationic colloidal gold pH 1.0 labelling, we studied sites of sulphation and sulphated glycosaminoglycans ultrastructurally in various maturational stages of both eosinophil granulocytes and eosinophil granules of guinea pig. Eosinophil granules reacted positively to cationic gold, the pattern of labelling varying according to the degree of cell maturation. The formation of eosinophil granules takes place throughout the myelocyte stage. Early eosinophil myelocytes contain a large Golgi apparatus with active granulogenesis, while late ones contain a small and less active Golgi apparatus. All the immature granules were labelled positively. However, mature granules with a central crystal bar lost their affinity towards colloidal gold. Interestingly, strong colloidal gold labelling was also observed in the trans to transmost Golgi apparatus, especially in immature eosinophil granulocytes. This indicates that sulphation of glycosaminoglycans occurs in the trans to transmost Golgi apparatus of eosinophil granulocytes. Prior absorption with poly-L-lysine prevented colloidal gold labelling of tissue sections. Methylation of sections at 37°C did not alter the gold labelling, whereas the labelling disappeared after methylation at 60°C. Prior treatment with chondroitinase ABC or heparinase I abolished the majority of colloidal gold labelling in immature eosinophil granules. Taking these results together, we conclude that immature eosinophil granules contain sulphated glycosaminoglycans including chondroitin sulphate or heparan sulphate or both. 相似文献

Using light and electron microscopy, three hemocyte types are described in the hemolymph of the crayfish. The coagulocyte comprises 65% of the total hemocyte number and contains medium-sized cytoplasmic granules, abundant dilated rough endoplasmic reticulum, and a highly developed Golgi complex. It rapidly undergoes cytolysis in vitro and participates in coagulation by releasing the contents of its granules to the hemolymph. The granulocyte comprises 31% of the total hemocyte number and is capable of phagocytosis. It contains large, irregularly shaped cytoplasmic granules, a moderately developed Golgi complex, and moderate amounts of non-dilated rough endoplasmic reticulum. During coagulation in vitro, the cell attaches and spreads onto the substratum; this is followed by a slow intracellular granule breakdown and cytolysis. The amebocyte comprises 4% of the total hemocyte number and it is also capable of phagocytosis. It possesses small cytoplasmic granules, many vacuoles, a moderately developed Golgi complex, and large amounts of smooth endoplasmic reticulum. It is distinguished from the other two cell types by being stable and motile in vitro. 相似文献

The killing efficiency of tritium disintegrations in frozen mammalian cells labeled with tritiated uridine, histidine, and lysine was compared with the killing efficiency of incorporated tritiated thymidine. In each case, the distribution of tritium in the cells was determined by chemical fractionation as well as by radio-autography. Of all tritium disintegrations, by far the most effective were those occurring in DNA molecules within frozen cells; such incorporated tritium has a killing efficiency of 0.006. When cells were incubated with tritiated uridine for 10 min to label nuclear RNA, the killing efficiency was 0.0015. When the cells were pulse labeled with tritiated uridine and permitted to grow in nonradioactive media for 10 hr before freezing in order to incorporate tritium into cytoplasmic RNA, the killing efficiency was reduced to 0.0010. The results suggest that decay of tritium in nuclear RNA is more effective than that in cytoplasmic RNA. When the cells were labeled with tritiated histidine or lysine for 30 min, tritium atoms were found mainly in the acid soluble rather than in the protein fraction and the killing efficiency in each case was approximately 0.0007. The results of these suicide experiments indicate that the killing efficiency of tritium disintegrations depends on where tritium is located within the cells. Tritium disintegrations in the nucleus are more effective in killing the cell than that in cytoplasm; and tritium disintegrations on DNA in the nucleus is more effective in killing the cell than that of nuclear RNA. 相似文献

The origin, content, and fate of azurophil granules of blood monocytes were investigated in several species (rabbit, guinea pig, human) by electron microscopy and cytochemistry. The life cycle of monocytes consists of maturation in bone marrow, transit in blood, and migration into tissues where they function as macrophages. Cells were examined from all three phases. It was found that: azurophil granules originate in the Golgi complex of the developing monocyte of bone marrow and blood, and ultimately fuse with phagosomes during phagocytosis upon arrival of monocytes in the tissues. They contain lysosomal enzymes in all species studied and peroxidase in the guinea pig and human. These enzymes are produced by the same pathway as other secretory products (i.e., they are segregated in the rough ER and packaged into granules in the Golgi complex). The findings demonstrate that the azurophil granules of monocytes are primary lysosomes or storage granules comparable to the azurophils of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and the specific granules of eosinophils. Macrophages from peritoneal exudates (72–96 hr after endotoxin injection) contain large quantities of lysosomal enzymes throughout the secretory apparatus (rough ER and Golgi complex), in digestive vacuoles, and in numerous coated vesicles; however, they lack forming or mature azurophil granules. Hence it appears that the monocyte produces two types of primary lysosomes during different phases of its life cycle—azurophil granules made by developing monocytes in bone marrow or blood, and coated vesicles made by macrophages in tissues and body cavities. 相似文献

We have studied the reconstitution of the Golgi apparatus in vivo using an heterologous membrane transplant system. Endogenous glycopeptides of rat hepatic Golgi fragments were radiolabeled in vitro with [3H]sialic acid using detergent-free conditions. The Golgi fragments consisting of dispersed vesicles and tubules with intraluminal lipoprotein-like particles were then microinjected into Xenopus oocytes and their fate studied by light (LM) and electron microscope (EM) radioautography. 3 h after microinjection, radiolabel was observed by LM radioautography over yolk platelet-free cytoplasmic regions near the injection site. EM radioautography revealed label over Golgi stacked saccules containing the hepatic marker of intraluminal lipoprotein-like particles. At 14 h after injection, LM radioautographs revealed label in the superficial cortex of the oocytes between the yolk platelets and at the oocyte surface. EM radioautography identified the labeled structures as the stacked saccules of the Golgi apparatus, the oocyte cortical granules, and the plasmalemma, indicating that a proportion of microinjected material was transferred to the surface via the secretion pathway of the oocyte. The efficiency of transport was low, however, as biochemical studies failed to show extensive secretion of radiolabel into the extracellular medium by 14 h with approximately half the microinjected radiolabeled constituents degraded. Vinblastine (50 microM) administered to oocytes led to the formation of tubulin paracrystals. Although microinjected Golgi fragments were able to effect the formation of stacked saccules in vinblastine-treated oocytes, negligible transfer of heterologous material to the oocyte surface could be detected by radioautography. The data demonstrate that dispersed fragments of the rat liver Golgi complex (i.e., unstacked vesicles and tubules) reconstitute into stacked saccules when microinjected into Xenopus cytoplasm. After the formation of stacked saccules, reconstituted Golgi fragments transport constituents into a portion of the exocytic pathway of the host cell by a microtubule-regulated process. 相似文献

The distribution of radioautographic grains over organelles within the beta cells of rat islets of Langerhans was investigated at various times after pulse labeling of the isolated islets with tritium-labeled amino acids. Ten minutes after the start of labeling most of the grains were situated over the endoplasmic reticulum and cytoplasm; by contrast, 60 min from the start of labeling the majority of the grains were associated with the beta granules. At 20, 30, and 45 minutes after pulse labeling the proportion of grains associated with the Golgi complex was increased two- to three-fold over the 10- or 60-minute values. The distribution of radioautographic grains over granules in the intact cells did not suggest that the electron-lucent type of secretory granules were precursors of the electron-opaque granules. Furthermore, studies of the pattern of grains over granules isolated by centrifugation 60 min after pulse labeling showed no preferential labeling of the electron-lucent type of granule. It is concluded that labeled amino acids are incorporated initially in the endoplasmic reticulum, and that the label subsequently appears in the beta granules. The Golgi complex participates either in the formation of the beta granule or in the translocation of the granule through the cytoplasm of the cell. 相似文献

The secretory pathway of dentin phosphoproteins in rat incisors was studied by electron microscopic radioautography after the injection of 3H-serine, and the results were compared with those using 3H-proline as a tracer. Five min after injection of 3H-serine, radioactivity was found in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. At 10 min, silver grains were observed over the spherical portions of the cisface of the Golgi apparatus. At 20 min after injection, silver grains were seen over the cylindrical portions of the transface of the Golgi apparatus. The secretory granules showed the strongest reaction from 20 min to 1 hr. At 45 min, a significant labeled band appeared at the mineralization front. At 1 hr, the labeling at the mineralization front began to appear in the mineralized dentin, and after 12 hr this labeled band was located within the mineralized dentin. The pathway of 3H-proline was essentially the same as that of 3H-serine, but 3H-proline moved more slowly than 3H-serine, especially in transit from the rough endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus. Secretory granules were heavily labeled from 30 min to 1 hr after injection of 3H-proline; no labeling was found at the mineralization front at 45 min. The labeling seen initially over the predentin was over the mineralized dentin no earlier than 6 hr after injection. The labeling pattern with 3H-serine is closely related to the localization of phosphoproteins, whereas the pattern with 3H-proline reflects the production of collagen rather than of phosphoproteins. The present radioautographic results indicate that dentin phosphoproteins are related to secretory granules and are secreted by odontoblasts at the mineralization front and also that phosphoproteins are involved in the process of mineralization of the circumpulpal dentin. 相似文献
