Summary High iron diamine reactions after the prior methylation and oxidation of tissue sections with performic acid or potassium permanganate (metox-HID or ox-met-HID) in epithelial mucosubstances and in mucosal mast cells were studied in tissue samples from the human gastrointestinal tract and were compared with reactions with high iron diamine without any pretreatment (HID) and high iron diamine with the prior methylation (met-HID). High iron diamine reactions after the prior oxidation (met-ox-HID, ox-met-HID and ox-HID) demonstrated mucosubstances in a way which seemed to operate by the staining of acidic groups evoked by the oxidation of the tissue sections. These acidic groups were not blocked by the methylation. It was supposed that they are sulphonic acids resulting from sulphur groups (sulphydryls or disulphides) in some mucus glycoproteins. Met-ox-HID and ox-met-HID reactions seemed to stain mucosubstances and mast cells in a similar way but differed from the ox-HID reactions with the manner which could be interpretated to be due to the blocking of free sulphate ester groups in reactions of the former. Met-ox-HID (and ox-met-HID) positive mucosubstances were found in the foveolar epithelium of the stomach and in goblet cells of small and large bowel.The study was supported by grants from Sigrid Juselius Foundation and Paulo Foundation, Helsinki, Finland 相似文献

The histochemical orcein reaction (orc) for mucosubstances in tissue samples from the human gastrointestinal tract was compared with PAS, high iron diamine (HID) and Alcian blue reactions at pH 1.0 or 2.5 (AB 1 and AB 2.5). Orc, HID and AB 1 reactions were performed also with prior oxidation of the tissue sections with potassium permanganate or performic acid (ox-orc, ox-HID and ox-AB reactions, respectively). Orc reaction stained mucosubstances similarly to HID and AB 1; only the brush border and goblet cells in the colon were stained. The reactions of the mucosubstances obtained with ox-orc differed from those with PAS, HID, AB 1 or AB 2.5 but were similar to those with ox-HID or ox-AB; the mucosubstances in the brush border and the goblet cells in the colon and small bowel and in the foveolar epithelium of the stomach were strongly stained. Pyloric and cardiac glands were stained faintly with ox-orc but not with ox-HID or ox-AB. Brunner's glands were negative with ox-orc, ox-HID and ox-AB reactions. It was assumed that the orc reaction stains, like HID or AB 1, sulphate groups in epithelial mucosubstances, and that sulphonic acid residues, resulting from oxidation of disulphide groups in the protein core of mucus glycoproteins, are responsible for the ox-orc as well as for the ox-HID and ox-AB reactions. 相似文献

Synopsis The binding of ferric ions to tissue sites, other than those containing sulphated mucosubstances, in sections subjected to the high iron diamine technique was followed by the Prussian blue reaction in order to throw new light on the role of ferric chloride in the high-iron diamine dye bath. From experiments involving enzyme digestions in particular, evidence was obtained that ferric ions bind to ribonucleic acid (in chief cells of the rabbit stomach), deoxyribonucleic acid (in nuclear chromatin granules), and, under certain conditions, to sialic acid residues (e.g. in mucous acini of the mouse sublingual gland) and protein carboxyl groups (in smooth muscle cells) as well.With a few exceptions, the binding of ferric ions to nucleic acids was not affected by changes in the ferric chloride concentration, pH or magnesium chloride concentration in the dye bath; the bond thus formed was very stable. It is possible that the initial linkage is not an electrostatic one. Under all the conditions investigated, it was found that the diamine complexes have a greater affinity for sulphated mucosubstances than ferric ions, but ferric chloride, by lowering the pH of the dye bath, excludes the carboxyl groups from reacting with the positively-charged diamine polymer molecules. It is possible that a high concentration of ferric ions in the high-iron diamine dye bath inhibits the binding of some diamine complexes to nuclei and gastric chief cells, i.e. sites where no sulphated mucosaccharides are present, although this conclusion needs further substantiation. 相似文献

Summary The mucous cells of the epidermis and slime glands in three species of Pacific hagfishes were studied histochemically to determine the presence or absence of acidic and neutral mucosubstances. Most mucous cells contained diastase-resistant PAS reactivity that varied in intensity. A few mucous cells contained diastase-labile substances exclusively.Acidic groups were detectable due to their stainability by several basic dyes which were utilized singly or in combination. Considerable species diversity of hagfish mucins was noted in their affinity toward azure A at pH 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 depending on whether sections were viewed wet from the staining jar or viewed after dehydration and mounting. At pH 1.0, a few mucous cells were metachromatic under both conditions while the majority were unstained in both types of section. As the pH was raised, the majority of cells were metachromatic when viewed wet or mounted. Most mucous cells were reactive toward alcian blue at pH 1.0, aldehyde fuchsin and the high iron diamine reagents. Each of these reactions was absent following exposure of sections to acidic (0.1N HCl) methanol for 4 hours at 60°C while control sections exposed to unacidified methanol or acidified isopropanol for the same time and temperature resulted in no loss of staining.Sialidase-labile acidic groups were detected in the epidermal mucous cells of one species of hagfish. Following prior treatment of sections with Vibrio cholerae sialidase for 16–24 hours at 39° C, there was a reduction of metachromasia of the mucous cells produced by azure A at pH 3.0. Although confirmatory autoradiographic and biochemical data on hagfish mucosubstances are lacking, the histochemical staining results and their subsequent modifications by enzyme and chemical treatment indicate that the majority of these mucins contain sulfomucin while a few are composed of sialomucin. Similar results of previous histochemical and autoradiographic studies of epithelial secretions from higher animals correlated, in some instances, with the biochemical data for those mucins.Supported by Research Grant AM — 11064 of the United States Public Health Service.Recipent of a Lederle Medical Faculty Award, 1968–1971. 相似文献

Inhaled irritants induce secretory cell hyperplasia in nasal epithelium of animals. To characterize this response histochemically it is first important to know the histochemical character and distribution of epithelial mucosubstance in the normal nasal cavity. An automated image analyzing method was used to detect and quantitate acidic, neutral, and sulfated mucosubstances in the epithelium lining the nasal and paranasal airways of eight bonnet monkeys. Tissue sections 2 micron thick from defined regions of these airways were stained with either alcian blue/periodic acid-Schiff to demonstrate acid and neutral mucosubstances or high iron diamine to demonstrate sulfated mucins. Respiratory epithelium covering maxilloturbinates had the largest volume of stainable mucosubstance per unit surface area of basal lamina, whereas the maxillary sinus epithelium had the least. There was a general anteroposterior increase in the quantity of total epithelial mucosubstance along the septal and lateral walls of the nasal cavity, and there was more acidic than neutral mucosubstance in the posterior nasal airway than in the anterior. Epithelial mucosubstance in the maxillary sinus was predominantly neutral. Therefore, we conclude that there are substantial regional quantitative differences in stainable mucosubstances in the primate nasal epithelium which must be considered when examining nasal mucosa for irritant-induced changes in epithelial mucins. 相似文献

Histochemical differentiation of complex carbohydrates with variants of the concanavalin A-horseradish peroxidase method. 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15
Various treatments carried out prior to the concanavalin A-horseradish perioxidase (HRP) method have been found to affect the staining and have permitted differentiation of three main classes of complex carbohydrates in the rat alimentary tract. Class I mucosubstances lose and class II and III paradoxically gain concanavalin A-horseradish peroxidase reactivity after periodate oxidation. Class II mucosubstances lose whereas class III retain or increase their reactivity with a reduction step interposed between oxidation and concanavalin A-horseradish peroxidase staining. Mucous neck cells, pyloric glands, Brunner's glands and mast cells exhibit strong class III staining, whereas other sites such as intestinal goblet and salivary gland acini differ widely in their type of staining. Liver glycogen stains like mucosubstances in an unstable subgroup of class III. The paradoxical increase in concanavalin A binding during oxidation correlates with the appearance of Schiff reactivity implicating oxidation of vicinal hydroxyls as the basis for the effect. The periodate-induced staining is therefore, thought to result from an oxidative disruption of linkages between vicinal hydroxyls of neighboring sugars and hydroxyls of mannose required for concanavalin A binding. Staining with the described concanavalin A-horseradish peroxidase variants appears to afford information concerning cytochemical distribution of mannose-rich glycoproteins as well as differences among these substances in the relation of mannose to neighboring sugars. 相似文献

The duodenal glands of cat and horse were studied using PAS, Alcian blue, dialysed iron, aldehyde fuchsin-Alcian blue and high iron diamine stains. It was found that the duodenal glands of the horse reacted positively to Alcian blue, dialysed iron stains and also took the Alcian blue stain in the combined aldehyde fuchsin-Alcian blue and high iron diamine-Alcian blue stains. Those of the cat gave negative results. These results suggest the presence of acidic groups in the mucosubstances secreted by the horse's duodenal glands. A suggestion is put forward on the strength of the high iron diamine-Alcian blue combined stains that the acidity is due to the presence of carboxyl groups. It is suggested that the acidity may be significant in either cellulose metabolism or the digestion of the bacterial microflora from the stomach of herbivores. 相似文献

When sections are methylated (cone. HC1, 0.8 ml in absolute methanol, 100 ml; at 58 C) prior to staining with Best's carmine, the granules of Paneth cells of man, rat and mouse stain a bright red, but they do not stain at all with this stain without prior methylation. With paraffin sections after neutral formalin fixation, the required 2-hr methylation did not prevent the staining of neutral mucosubstances and glycogen, but after methylation for 12 hr, these substances no longer stained although the reaction of the granules of Paneth cells became still more intense. The advantages of this staining technique are: (1) There is good contrast because the background stains faintly and, of the structures in the intestinal wall, only eosinophilic leukocytes and a part of the collagen fibrils stain in addition to the granules of Paneth cells. (2) The result is more reliable and the staining easier to perform than with the majority of other techniques, since no differentation is necessary. The method is especially suited for detecting Paneth cells in pathological conditions and in altered tissues or areas in which these cells are scanty. 相似文献

Summary To enhance the efficiency and specificity of diamine methods in light microscopy, these methods were sensitized by sliver enhancement in combination with trichloro(ethylene) platinate (KTP). The sensitized diamine methods consisted of a diamine (high or low iron diamine: HID or LID), KTP, borohydride reduction (BH) and a physical development (PD) sequence. The new methods have been successfully applied to routinely prepared tissue sections obtained from rat organs, such as salivary glands, stomach, colon, kidney, lung and trachea. In the tissues subjected to the sensitized diamine methods, weakly diamine-stained histological structures exhibited vivid positive reactions. The combined sensitized diamine methods and selective procedures, such as enzyme digestion and chemical modification, have substantiated that these methods were of sufficient efficiency and specificity. 相似文献

Binding of Fe3+ occurred in nuclei and several other sites when tissue sections, after a prior staining by the high-iron diamine (HID) method for sulfomucins, were immersed for 1 hr in 0.06 N HCl containing 1% potassium ferrocyanide (Prussian blue reaction). Apparently Fe3+, which is derived from FeCl3 present in the HID dye bath, unites directly with these tissue components, although one cannot exclude the possibility that iron is first bound to colorless diamine complexes and then to tissues. The visualization of Fe3+ by ferrocyanide provides a simple way of obtaining a suitable nuclear stain combined with general counters taming for the HID method. 相似文献

Synopsis A layer of collagenous connective tissue develops around the ejaculatory duct of the male locust,Locusta migratoria, during the fourth and fifth instars and the first ten days of the adult stage. The mucosubstances associated with this tissue have been characterized by using a series of histochemical reactions, including Alcian Blue staining at different pH levels and salt concentrations the periodic acid-Schiff test and recent modifications of it, the high iron diamine test and enzymatic digestions. The results indicate that sulphated glycosaminoglycans accumulate during the developmental period, so that in the mature adult, the connective tissue probably contains chondroitin and dermatan sulphates, and possibly some keratan sulphate. Neutral glycoproteins also occur in the tissue. 相似文献

Summary Pretreatment of sections of fixed tissue with selective blocking reagents for indigenous thiol groups did not, it was found, impair the fluorescence subsequently obtainable with the acetic anhydridesalicylhydrazide-zinc technique (Stoward and Burns, 1967) for localizing C-terminal carboxyl groups of proteins. This suggests that thiol and S-acetyl groups do not participate in the complex reactions involved in the method. In further support of this suggestion it was found that artificially introduced thiol groups also do not take part.Sites containing either, glycogen or neutral periodate-reactive mucosubstances did not fluoresce in sections subjected to the technique. This indicates that O-acetyl groups, although probably formed, are not involved in the reactions giving rise to the fluorescence reaction in proteins. 相似文献

Summary Rat mast cells fixed in Carnoy's fluid were stained with iron alum-Alcian Blue-Safranin solution after pre-treatment with strong electrolyte solutions including acids, neutral salts and alkalis. Although both red and blue mast cells were observed without pre-treatment, most mast cells were stained blue and a few red when they were stained after the pre-treatment. Mast cell granules contain salt complexes formed between basic proteins and acidic polysaccharides through ionic linkages between protein basic groups and polysaccharide sulphate and carboxylic acid groups. It is suggested that when sections are treated with strong electrolyte solutions, complexes are broken by disruption of ionic linkages and sulphate and carboxylic acid groups of polysaccharides masked by basic proteins become available for binding Alcian Blue. This was confirmed by model experiments performed with smears of a heparin-lysozyme complex.When mast cells were fixed in aldehyde-containing fixatives, no effects of strong electrolyte solutions on the staining properties of mast cell granules were revealed. 相似文献

Synopsis It may be assumed that, histochemically, carboxyl groups and sulphate half-ester groups of muco electrolyte concentration of the dye baths in the two steps of a sequential Alcian Yellow-Alcian Blue method. In the present study the specificity and reliability of this method has been investigated.When the staining conditions were the same in both steps, the second dye (Alcian Blue) was found to stain mucosubstances in spite of the prior staining with Alcian Yellow. Binding of Alcian Blue was observed in all but very dilute Alcian Blue solutions. The degree of Alcian Blue binding depended on the dye concentration and staining time of the second step (Alcian Blue), and it varied widely for different mucosubstances. Although an incomplete saturation of anionic groups with dye molecules in the first step cannot be completely excluded, it is thought that Alcian Blue displaces Alcian Yellow from the carboxyl and sulphate groups of mucosubstances in tissue sections.It seems that the sequential Alcian Yellow-Alcian Blue method, under the conditions investigated, does not provide a reliable means for differentiating carboxyl and sulphate groups of mucosbstances in tissue sections simultaneously, because the second dye obviously is capable of displacing the first dye from sulphate groups. However, it is possible to distinguish non-sulphated acid mucosaccharides from sulphated mucosaccharides. 相似文献

Synopsis A mass of connective tissue, continuous with the neural lamella, develops on the dorsal side of the abdominal region of the nerve cord of Lepidoptera during the pupal stage. The mucosubstances of this tissue in the wax-moth,Galleria mellonella, have been characterized histochemically using various techniques involving Alcian Blue binding, periodic acid-Schiff and high iron diamine reactions, and enzyme digestions. The results indicate that this fibrous tissue contains chondroitin and dermatan sulphates and neutral glycoproteins.Thoracic ganglia of adult stick insects,Carausius morosus, were subjected to the same histochemical tests. The neural lamella possesses chondroitin, dermatan and keratan sulphates, while the glial lacunar system contains only hyaluronic acid. 相似文献

Synopsis The cytochemically reactive groups which are responsible for Aldehyde Fuchsin (AF) and colloidal iron (CI) staining of C cells were investigated in the canine thyroid gland. To this end, stains for proteoglycans and peptide groups were utilized in conjuction with hydrolysis of glycosidic and amide bonds. In addition, the following procedures were used: acetylation, benzoylation, nitrozation, aldehyde blockade, sulphydryl blockade, methylation and mild acid hydrolysis.No acidic proteoglycan, sialic acid, polyphosphate or polysaccharide ester sulphate were detected in C cells; the results suggest that AF staining, after an oxidation step, and CI staining are due to polypeptides. Sulphydryl and carboxyl groups together are necessary for mediating the attachment of AF in C cells and it is adduced that this attachment is due to the combined charges of sulphonic and carboxylic acids. Methylation and acetylation inhibit CI staining and those staining reactions that depend upon carboxylic acid (TB) and hydroxyl groups (PAS) for their dye attachment in C cells. acid hydrolysis, which increases the demonstration of carboxylic acid in C cells, decreases the attachment of hydroxyferric ions. I speculate that this inhibition is due to extraction of iron binding sites in the C cell and conclude that it is not solely carboxylic acids in C cells that are responsible for CI staining. 相似文献

Enzyme histochemical discrimination between tryptase and chymase in mast cells of human gut 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We tested four synthetic substances for their histochemical value to demonstrate the catalytic activities of chymase or tryptase in mast cells in sections of human gut. Both Suc-Ala-Ala-Phe-4 methoxy-2-naphthylamide (MNA) and N-acetyl-L-methionine-alpha-naphthyl ester (alpha-N-O-Met) reacted with chymase but not tryptase in mast cells. Conversely, D-Val-Leu-Arg-MNA and Z-Ala-Ala-Lys-MNA were hydrolyzed by mast cell tryptase but not chymase. These results were confirmed by use of two inhibitors of chymotrypsin-like activity, chymostatin and Z-Gly-Leu-Phe-chloromethyl ketone (CK) and two inhibitors of trypsin-like activity, Tos-Lys-CK and D-Val-Leu-Arg-CK. Excellent staining reactions were obtained on cryostat sections of unfixed or aldehyde-fixed tissues and on paraffin sections of Carnoy-fixed tissues. For chymase, however, Suc-Ala-Ala-Phe-MNA is preferred on cryostat sections because it is more specific. On paraffin sections alpha-N-O-Met is preferred because other cells are not then stained. For tryptase, Z-Ala-Ala-Lys-MNA was more selective and more specific and is the preferred general purpose substrate on cryostat sections of aldehyde-fixed tissues and for paraffin sections. D-Val-Leu-Arg-MNA is the preferred substrate for cryostat sections of unfixed tissue. Only a limited number of mast cells showed a reaction for chymase, and these occurred mainly in the submucosa. All mast cells, however, gave a reaction for tryptase, and we recommend the use of either substrate for this enzyme for routine detection of mast cells in human tissues. Double staining for the two main mast cell proteases is most conveniently undertaken on paraffin sections of Carnoy-fixed tissues using MNA substrates for tryptase and alpha-N-O-Met for chymase. 相似文献

Synopsis The coloured components in the high-iron diamine dye bath were separated into three fractions using column chromatography on Sephadex G-10. These fractions were called Fraction I, II and III in order of their emergence from the column. From atomic absorption measurements, part of Fraction I was found to be free of iron. Most of Fraction II and the whole of Fraction III contained only trace amounts of iron. Therefore, the three Fractions were investigated further. All experiments were carried out at pH 1.4 (corresponding to the pH of the original high-iron diamine bath).Fraction I was violet, Fraction II red-violet and Fraction III aniline-red; the extinction maxima in the visible region were 560, 526 and 540 nm respectively. On electrophoresis, the Fractions were not quite homogeneous, although most of Fractions I and II migrated in the same front and much faster than Fraction III. The high-iron diamine solution separated into two main fractions, one of which corresponded in colour and velocity to Fractions I and II and the other to Fraction III.In histochemical experiments, Fractions I, II and III bound to tissue sites containing sulphated mucosaccharides or nucleic acids; from histochemical enzyme digestion tests or by using purified materials in spot tests on cellulose acetate membrane, it was confirmed that the diamines were bound to RNA and DNA. However, when ferric chloride was added to any of the Fractions in an amount corresponding to that in the original high-iron diamine dye bath, the binding to tissue sites containing nucleic acids was inhibited but the reaction with sulphated mucosubstances was not affected. Also, in the presence of added ferric chloride, the anomalous binding of Fraction I to carboxyl groups of mouse sublingual gland sialomucin was prevented.It is concluded that ferric chloride in the high-iron diamine dye bath prevents diamine complexes from binding with nucleic acids, and apparently with carboxymucins too. Further, this conclusion substantiates our previous observations of the central role ferric chloride plays in making the histochemical high-iron diamine technique specific for sulphated mucosubstances. 相似文献

Summary A nitrous acid procedure has been shown to lead to the elimination of N-sulphates in sections of a series of tissues containing sulphated glycoconjugates. Two groups of sulphated glycoconjugate-containing tissues were used; one contained N-sulphates and other was devoid of such groupings. In the first group of tissues, mast cells of different origins and renal glomeruli in the rat were employed. Xiphoid and tracheal cartilage matrix, submandibular and sublingual gland acini and gastric, duodenal and colonic mucosae were used in the second group. Sections were treated with nitrous acid and then stained with Alcian Blue pH 1.0, high iron diamine or Aldehyde Fuchsin for sulphated glycoconjugates. Such treatment was found to diminish the staining intensities exclusively in N-sulphated glycoconjugate-containing structures such as mast cell granules and renal glomerular basement membrane, providing a means of chemically eliminating N-sulphates of glycoconjugates in tissues. 相似文献
