The degree of similarity between the 'pseudobranch type' and 'chloride type' cells in the pseudobranch of bass ( Dicentrachus labrax (L)), smelt ( Osmerus esperlangus ) and rainbow trout ( Salmo gairdneri ) was studied. The pseudobranch of bass and smelt contains two specialised cell types commonly known as 'chloride type' and 'pseudobranch type' cells, whereas rainbow trout only possess the latter type. 'Pseudobranch type' cells are characterised by the orderly arrangement of parallel tubules around their closely packed mitochondria. 'Chloride type' cells are identified by their highly branched tubular network, randomly distributed mitochondria, and the presence of an apical pit. Although ultra-structural changes were noted under osmotic stress, the 'chloride type' and 'pseudobranch type' cells remained distinguishable from each other and gave no reason to suggest that they were different forms of the same cell type. It was concluded that the two are distinct cell types, performing different, though possibly related, functions. 相似文献

Eight lemma micromorphological characters of 83 taxa representing 61 genera in the Chloridoideae have been investigated using Scanning Electron Microscopy, including long cells, cork cells, stomata, bicellular microhairs, papillae, silica cells, microprickles, and macrohairs. Five new types of lemma micromorphological characters were reported here. Data for 27 taxa representing 19 genera from previous publications were also supplied to access the homology of lemma micromorphological characters for different groups through optimization onto a molecular cladogram. Given the optimization, five characters including long cells, cork cells, stomata, papillae, microprickles are of phylogenetic significance for supra-generic groups. Seven characters including straight outline long cells, crescent-shaped cork cells, absent stomata, absent papillae, dumb-bell-shaped silica cells, c-type microprickles, and papillate-base macrohairs may not be homologous, however, the enneapogonoid-type bicellular microhairs appeared as a synapomorphy for the Chloridoideae. 相似文献

Bicellular microhairs are present on the surfaces of leaves of grasses with the exception of the Pooideae. In some halophytic grasses, these glandular hairs secrete salt, suggesting the intriguing question ‘can the microhairs of grasses that do not normally encounter salinity also secrete salt?’ Microhairs were counted in replicas of the adaxial and abaxial surfaces of leaves of various ages of maize plants growing either in the absence of salt or in the presence of 40, 80 or 120 mM NaCl. The number of microhairs per unit area of adaxial leaf surface of the youngest leaf almost doubled as the salinity increased from zero to 120 mM NaCl; on the abaxial surface, the number of microhairs increased by 50%. Spraying this leaf with benzyl adenine (BA) caused, when averaged across salinities and surfaces, a 32% increase in the number of microhairs. Salinity reduced leaf area but in all the salinity treatments, spraying with BA increased the total number of microhairs per leaf. Washing leaves of plants provided estimates of the loss of salt from those leaves. There were large differences between the Na:K molar ratios in the washing solution and the leaf tissue, indicating a high selectivity for sodium over potassium for loss from the leaf. BA did not influence the efficiency of salt loss, expressed per microhair, at any salinity level, but did increase loss per leaf. Thus, BA increased salt loss from plants due to its influence on the number of microhairs and leaf area, but not due to its effect on the efficiency of the secretion process per se. 相似文献

In this study, we describe the ultrastructural features of the external nasal gland in two lizards: ruin lizard (Podarcis sicula campestris) and seps (Chalcides chalcides). Two secretory cell types, which differ interspecifically, have been found in the secretory endpieces of the glandular tubules in both species examined. An unusual morphological observation was the presence of paracrystalline structures in the secretory granules of the seromucous cells of the external nasal gland of the seps. These structures may be related to the packaging mechanism of glycoproteins or to their macromolecular structure. They may also reflect segregation of heterogeneous subcomponents within the same secretory granule. The striated cells are located in the distal segment of the glandular tubules, and have the typical ultrastructural features of the cells which in some species of reptiles, but not in these two lizards, are known to be capable of elaborating a hyperosmotic saline solution. 相似文献

A total of 99 clinical isolates of metallo-ß-lactamase-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa collected in Japan between 1998 and 2001 were studied for their susceptibilities to carbapenem agents and corresponding oprD gene mutations. The OprD sequence of each strain was grouped into two major classes, based on the pattern of alterations. Eighty strains (80.8%) were so-called 'full length type', whose OprD proteins were fully encoded. The remaining 19 strains (19.2%) were so-called 'defective type', which possessed deletions or major alterations that might cause conformational changes in the OprD porin protein. The changes in 'defective type' strains led to 15-, 17- and 23-fold increases in the geometric mean MIC for imipenem, meropenem and biapenem compared with 'full length type' strains, respectively. 'Full length type' strains were further classified into six carbapenem susceptible types with the exception of four carbapenem-resistant subtypes with additional amino acid substitutions at D43, G183, R154, G314, G316. However, 'defective type' strains were classified into four types as follows: 10 strains which contained a stop codon within the coding region; six strains which contained IS; one strain with a short deletion near the C-terminal domain; and two strains without a stop codon in the sequenced region. Western blot analysis using OprD antibody showed that binding abilities of OprD proteins against 'full length type' strains were normal, whereas those against 'defective type' strains were lost without exception. These results indicate that OprD structure and antimicrobial activities for carbapenem agents proved to be highly correlated in P. aeruginosa 相似文献

In the present study, the expression of secretory components and vesicular transport proteins in the canine lacrimal gland was examined and morphometric analysis was performed. The secretory epithelium consists of two types of secretory cells with different morphological features. The secretory cells constituting acinar units (type A cells) exhibited higher levels of glycoconjugates, including β-GlcNAc, than the other cell type constituting tubular units (type T cells). Immunoblot analysis revealed that antimicrobial proteins, such as lysozyme, lactoferrin and lactoperoxidase, Rab proteins (Rab3d, Rab27a and Rab27b) and soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein attachment protein receptor (SNARE) proteins (VAMP2, VAMP4, VAMP8, syntaxin-1, syntaxin-4 and syntaxin-6), were expressed at various levels. We immunohistochemically demonstrated that the expression patterns of lysozyme, lactoferrin, Rab27a, Rab27b, VAMP4, VAMP8 and syntaxin-6 differed depending on the secretory cell type. Additionally, in type T cells, VAMP4 was confined to a subpopulation of secretory granules, while VAMP8 was detected in almost all of them. The present study displayed the morphological and histochemical characteristics of the secretory epithelium in the canine lacrimal gland. These findings will help elucidate the species-specific properties of this gland.Key words: dog, lacrimal gland, glycoconjugate, Rab protein, SNARE protein, electron microscopy 相似文献

Hypericum perforatum L., traditionally used in folk medicineas a therapeutic plant, is today being evaluated for its antidepressantand antiretroviral activities. The species is characterizedby the presence of different types of secretory structure: translucentglands or cavities, black nodules and secretory canals. Theaim of this work was to characterize the translucent glandsand secretory canals in both the floral and vegetative parts,from morphological, anatomical and histochemical points of view.Translucent glands consist of a sub-epidermal cavity delimitedby two layers of cells. There are three types of secretory canal:type A, with a narrow lumen, and types B and C, both with awide lumen, but with different patterns of development. Histochemicaltests showed that all these structures contain alkaloids andlipids but not pectic-like substances and proteins. Tests forresins, essential oils and tannins gave different responsesin different parts of the plant.

A developmental study of the accumulation of silicon and other elements in the abaxial epidermis of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) leaf blades using scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive x-ray analysis showed that accumulation of silicon progresses at different rates in each epidermal cell type. In basal cells of two-celled microhairs and in prickles there is accumulation of silicon while the leaf is immature and still enclosed within the spindle cluster of leaves and not involved in transpiration. After transpiration begins, all epidermal cells rapidly accumulate silicon. However, there are differences in the rate of silicon accumulation and in the maximum amount of silicon accumulation among the various cell types. This may relate to differences in their physiology or structure. 相似文献

The microsporidium Unikaryon polygraphi sp.n., a pathogen of Polygraphus poligraphus in Austria is described based on light microscopic and ultrastructural characteristics. All life stages have isolated nuclei. Sporogony ends with uninucleate single sporoblasts and spores. Mature oval spores measure 2.5–3.0 μm × 1.0–1.5 μm. The larger spores (3 × 1.5 μm) belong to the `early spore type' with a polar filament coiled in five turns and the smaller spores (2.5 × 1 μm) with polar filament coiled in 6/7 turns belong to the `environmental spore type'. Columnar cells of the midgut, longitudinal and circular muscles and the secretory part of Malpighian tubules of adult beetles are infected. Mature spores are excreted together with the faeces. 相似文献

In four species of Zizania (Gramineae: Oryzeae) epidermal features of pistillate and staminate lemmas, paleas, and awns were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis. Features observed were silica bodies, siliceous papillae, pitted siliceous papillae, stomata, microhairs, and prickle hairs. Staminate lemmas have all of these features. Pistillate lemmas have silica bodies and prickle hairs, lack stomata, and differ among species in occurrences of microhairs and siliceous papillae and pitted siliceous papillae. Awns of pistillate lemmas have silica bodies, prickle hairs, microhairs, and stomata; therefore, they possess a more complete set of features than their attached lemmas. Shapes of silica bodies on pistillate lemmas differ among species. A taxonomic key based on SEM observation of pistillate lemmas separates the four species by the shapes of silica bodies, arrangement of prickle hairs, and occurrences of microhairs and siliceous papillae. The main silica-containing structures are silica bodies, siliceous papillae, pitted siliceous papillae, and to a lesser extent prickle hairs. Pitted siliceous papillae with circular raised rims are formed by collapse or exfoliation of the tops of siliceous papillae; these have not been previously described in grasses. Comparison of epidermal features in the lemmas and leaves of Zizania shows that the former lack three kinds of nonsilicified papillae and epicuticular wax that are present on the latter but the lemmas have siliceous papillae and pits that are absent in leaves. 相似文献

The atrial gland is an exocrine organ that secretes into the oviduct of Aplysia californica and expresses three homologous genes belonging to the egglaying hormone gene family. Although post-translational processing of the egg-laying hormone precursor in the neuroendocrine bag cells has been examined in detail, relatively little is known about the post-translational processing of egg-laying hormone-related gene products in the atrial gland. A combination of morphologic techniques that included light-microscopic histology and immunocytochemistry, transmission electron microscopy, and immuno-electron microscopy were used to localize egg-laying hormone-related peptides in the atrial gland and to evaluate the characteristic morphology of their secretory cells. Results of these studies showed that there were at least three major types of secretory cells in the atrial gland (types 1–3). Significantly, of these three cell types, only type 1 was immunoreactive to antisera against egg-laying hormone-related precursor peptides. The immunoreactivity studies established that all three egg-laying hormone-related precursor genes are expressed in type-1 cells and indicated that the processing of these precursors also occurs within the secretory granules of this cell type. Evidence was also obtained that proteolytic processing of the egg-laying hormone-related precursors differed significantly from that observed in the bag cells. In contrast to the bag cells, the NH2-terminal and COOH-terminal products of the egg-laying hormone-related precursors of the atrial gland were not sorted into different types of vesicles. 相似文献

Although the role of secretory granules as the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3))-sensitive intracellular Ca(2+) store and the presence of the IP(3) receptor (IP(3)R)/Ca(2+) channel on the secretory granule membrane have been established, the identity of the IP(3)R types present in the secretory granules is not known. We have therefore investigated the presence of different types of IP(3)R in the secretory granules of bovine adrenal medullary chromaffin cells using immunogold electron microscopy and found the existence of all three types of IP(3)R in the secretory granules. To determine whether these IP(3)Rs interact with CGA and CGB, each IP(3)R isoform was co-transfected with CGA or CGB into NIH3T3 or COS-7 cells, and the expressed IP(3)R isoform and CGA or CGB were co-immunoprecipitated. From these studies it was shown that all three types of IP(3)R form complexes with CGA and CGB in the cells. To further confirm whether the IP(3)R isoforms and CGA and CGB form a complex in the secretory granules the potential interaction between all three isoforms of IP(3)R and CGA and CGB was tested by co-immunoprecipitation experiments of the mixture of secretory granule lysates and the granule membrane proteins. The three isoforms of IP(3)R were shown to form complexes with CGA and CGB, indicating the complex formation between the three isoforms of IP(3)R and CGA and CGB in the secretory granules. Moreover, the pH-dependent Ca(2+) binding property of CGB was also studied using purified recombinant CGB, and it was shown that CGB bound 93 mol of Ca(2+)/mol with a dissociation constant (K(d)) of 1.5 mm at pH 5.5 but virtually no Ca(2+) at pH 7.5. The high capacity, low affinity Ca(2+)-binding property of CGB at pH 5.5 is comparable with that of CGA and is in line with its role as a Ca(2+) storage protein in the secretory granules. 相似文献

Epithelial cells were isolated from the fundic portion of the guinea pig stomach. Cells were separated by velocity sedimentation at unit gravity in a Ficoll 70 gradient and pooled in three fractions. By morphological and biochemical criteria, each fraction was characterized as a population highly enriched in one of the three main functional types: oxyntic cell; chief cell and mucus-secreting cell. Measure of the pepsinogen content and specific stainings of the secretory granules for light and electron microscopy led to the definition of two types of mucus-secreting cells in nearly equal quantity; mucous cells with smaller secretory granules entirely glycoproteic in nature and muco-peptic cells containing larger heterogeneous secretory granules. These granules were made of a proteic core containing pepsinogen surrounded by a thin membrane and a voluminous cap, both containing carbohydrates. The cap appeared as if built of orderly packed layers of glycoproteins. Secretory granules of chief cells were also surrounded by a membrane containing glycoproteins and occasionally a small glycoproteic cap. Pepsinogen content was estimated to be three times higher in a single chief cell than in a muco-peptic cell. 相似文献

The nature of mucins synthetized by the major vestibular glands of normal female calves and animals treated by anabolic drugs was investigated by usual histochemical methods and by lectin conjugate methods: Canavalia ensiformis (Con A), Limulus polyphemus (LPA), Lotus tetragonolobus (LTA), Arachis hypogaea (PNA), Ricinus communis (RCA I), Glycine max (SBA) and Triticum vulgaris (WGA). Two main secretory cell types, i.e. acinar and tubular cells, could be distinguished. The former produced sialomucins, whereas the latter produced neutral mucins. WGA and PNA showed strong binding to all secretory cells while LTA, RCA I and SBA exhibited a weaker affinity. Treatment with anabolic drugs enhanced O-acetyl sialic acid synthesis and we noted de novo synthesis of sulfomucins. However, the staining intensity of LTA was stronger than in control calves. Tubular secretory cells of treated animals revealed an intense secretion of neutral mucins but, in contrast, all tested lectins were less intensively bound. The present study provides additional histochemical information on Bartholin's glands. A shortened procedure is proposed to detect animals treated with anabolic drugs when morphological changes are lacking. 相似文献

Summary Two different types of ependymal cells were found in the subcommissural organ (SCO) of Natrix maura. Most secretory cells showed morphological features resembling the general structure and ultrastructure of cells in the SCO of other vertebrates. This report describes a second population of cells lining a portion of the dorsal groove of the SCO. These cells were not selectively stained by chromalum-hematoxylin and, under the electron microscope, they were characterized by scarce surface differentiations, sparse apical cytoplasm and short basal processes. Flat, parallel cisternae of the rough endoplasmic reticulum produced vesicles that appeared to be transported to the well-developed Golgi apparatus. Dense secretory granules about 200 nm in diameter were found in the Golgi region. Similar granules were seen in the vicinity of the apical plasma membrane; some of them opened toward the ventricle. All these characteristics clearly differentiate this cell group from the other secretory cells lining the SCO laterally and ventrally. 相似文献

Summary Secretory activities of bicellular microhairs from grasses belonging to the subfamilies Chloridoideae, Arundinoideae, Panicoideae, and Bambusoideae, and including the chloridoid, panicoid and Enneapogon microhair morphological types, have been investigated. Light microscopic histochemistry indicated that all microhairs studied secrete polysaccharide and protein (or glycoprotein), including those which also secrete salt. Localization of polysaccharide at ultrastructural level using periodic acid-thiocarbohydrazidesilver proteinate staining revealed that in panicoid type microhairs dictyosomes are involved in polysaccharide secretion, whereas in the chloridoid and Enneapogon types partitioning membranes seem to be involved instead.Abbreviations Ag

Summary The ultrastructural and histochemical features of the accessory cells of the neuromast of the salamander P. waltlii have been examined. Three types of accessory cells, supporting, mantle, and basal, were found, but only the first 2 are considered in this article. Supporting cells characterized by a highly dilated endoplasmic reticulum occur among and surrounding sensory cells. Mantle cells, morphologically different from the supporting cells, surround the remainder of the neuromast. Both types of accessory cells exhibit histochemically different secretory materials. Our morphological results suggest that both accessory cells contribute to the formation of cupular material. 相似文献

The ultrastructure of clitellar epithelium of Metuphire posthuma revealed mainly three types of secretory cells. Most prominent among these are the large slender granular cells which contain a large number of secretory granules filling in the entire columncr region of the cell. The secretory granules are 2-4mu in diameter with a limiting membrane and containing numerous tiny vesicles in a matrix of varying electron density. Basolateral rough endoplasmic reticulum and extensive Golgi cisternae were seen interspersed with the secretory granules. The Golgi cisternae in these cells were quite prominent extending all around the secretory granules. The secretory granules of type 2 cells are spheroid bodies with motley appearance due to varying electron density of the matrix. The immature granules contain fibrillar material. Type 3 cells contained electron lucent membrane-bound mucous like secretory granules which are reticulated with filamentous materials. All the three cell types open to the exterior at the cuticular region which is characterised by the presence of numerous microvilli. 相似文献

Rat secretory cells have been separated into subpopulations employing renografin density gradients. The morphological cell types differed in the various subpopulations. Fat secretory mammary parenchymal cells could be obtained at greater than 97% purity. The ability of 4-cell subpopulations, of different densities and morphologies, to redifferentiate into mammary tissue upon transplantation was quantitated. No enrichment of transplantable cells, in any subpopulation studied, was obtained. This may indidicate that more than one mammary cell type has the potential of redifferentiating into complete glandular tissue. 相似文献
