Fine structural localization of thiamine pyrophosphatase and acid phosphatase activities in the mouse pancreatic acinar cell 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The fine structural localization of thiamine pyrophosphatase (TPPase) and acid phosphatase (AcPase) was examined in pancreatic acinar cells of fasting and fed mice. The results were not affected by these conditions. TPPase activity was positive in two and sometimes three cisternae of the inner Golgi lamellae as well as in the condensing vacuoles of the trans area, but negative in the rigid lamellae and small vesicles of the trans area. AcPase activity was demonstrated in two and sometimes three cisternae of inner Golgi lamellae, condensing vacuoles, rigid lamellae, lysosomes and smooth or coated vesicles in the trans area. The inner Golgi lamellae and the condensing vacuoles were positive for both enzyme activities. From these facts, the lysosome is considered to be formed not only in the GERL system but also through the rough endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi apparatus route. It is reasonable to consider that Novikoff's GERL is not independent from the Golgi apparatus but represents a part of this organelle. 相似文献

The vasopressin-producing neurons of the hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system are a particularly good model with which to consider the relationship between the Golgi apparatus nd GERL and their roles in secretory granule production because these neurons increase their synthesis and secretion of vasopressin in response to hyperosmotic stress. Enzyme cytochemical techniques for acid phosphatase (AcPase) and thiamine pyrophosphatase (TPPase) activities were used to distinguish GERL from the Golgi apparatus in cell bodies of the supraoptic nucleus from normal mice, mice hyperosmotically stressed by drinking 2% salt water, and mice allowed to recover for 5-10 d from hyperosmotic stress. In nonincubated preparations of control supraoptic perikarya, immature secretory granules at the trans face of the Golgi apparatus were frequently attached to a narrow, smooth membrane cisterna identified as GERL. Secretory granules were occasionally seen attached to Golgi saccules. TPPase activity was present in one or two of the trans Golgi saccules; AcPase activity appeared in GERL and attached immature secretory granules, rarely in the trans Golgi saccules, and in secondary lysosomes. As a result of hyperosmotic stress, the Golgi apparatus hypertrophied, and secretory granules formed from all Golgi saccules and GERL. Little or no AcPase activity could be demonstrated in GERL, whereas all Golgi saccules and GERL-like cisternae were TPPase positive. During recovery, AcPase activity in GERL returned to normal; however, the elevated TPPase activity and secretory granule formation seen in GERL-like cisternae and all Golgi saccules during hyperosmotic stress persisted. These results suggest that under normal conditions GERL is the predominant site for the secretory granule formation, but during hyperosmotic stress, the Golgi saccules assume increased importance in this function. The observed cytochemical modulations in Golgi saccules and GERL suggest that GERL is structurally and functionally related to the Golgi saccules. 相似文献

Kupffer cells of fetal rat liver were examined by ultrastructural cytochemical methods to reveal acid phosphatase (AcPase) activity in lysosomes. Elongated cisternae, 940-1150 A in width containing AcPase reaction product, were identified in these cells. These cisternae were sometimes in continuity with phagosomes containing engulfed erythrocytes. Observations suggest that such cisternae may partly encircle these phagosomes. The relationships of these cisternae to GERL (Golgi Endoplasmic Reticulum Lysosomes) is discussed. 相似文献

Phosphatase cytochemistry was used to distinguish between the Golgi apparatus and GERL (considered as a specialized region of endoplasmic reticulum [ER] at the inner [trans] aspect of the Golgi stack) in pancreatic exocrine cells of guinea pig, rat, rabbit, and hamster. The trans element of the Golgi stack exhibits thiamine pyrophosphatase (TPPase) but no acid phosphatase (AcPase) activity. In contrast, GERL shows AcPase but no TPPase activity. The nascent secretory granules, or condensing vacuoles, are expanded cisternal portions of GERL. Continuities of condensing vacuoles with rough ER are suggested, and it is proposed that some secretory components may have direct access to the condensing vacuoles from ER. Connections of Golgi apparatus with GERL were not seen. 相似文献

Summary Cytochemical studies were performed to clarify the occurrence of an internal polarity of the Golgi apparatus and the relationship between this organelle and GERL in many kinds of cells having different morphologies and functions. The fine structural localizations of thiamine pyrophosphatase (TPPase) and acid phosphatase (AcPase) were examined in anterior pituitary cells, thyroid epithelial cells, gastric chief and parietal cells, duodenal absorptive epithelial cells, hepatocytes, adrenal cortical and medullary cells of mice, and thyroid epithelial cells of domestic fowls. TPPase activity is usually localized in the cisternae of 1–3 stacks and vesicles on the trans-side of the Golgi apparatus of all the cells examined, and in some immature secretory granules of anterior pituitary cells and of gastric chief cells. Rigid lamellae and multivesicular bodies are rarely positive to this reaction, in several kinds of cells. AcPase activity was usually demonstrable in the cisternae of 1–3 stacks and vesicles on the trans-side of the Golgi apparatus, and also in rigid lamellae, coated vesicles, multivesicular bodies and lysosomes in all varieties of cells studied. Some immature secretory granules are positive to the AcPase reaction in anterior pituitary cells and gastric chief cells. The areas positive for both enzyme activities were partially or almost completely overlapping in all the cells examined, though there were minor variations among them. The grades of overlap are classified into three types. Prolonged osmication was performed on thyroid epithelial cells, duodenal absorptive epithelial cells, hepatocytes, adrenal cortical cells, Leydig cells, the epithelial cells of the vas deferens and the theca cells of mice. Cisternae of 1–3 stacks on the cis-side of the Golgi apparatus of all the cells examined were stained with osmium tetroxide. In all these cells we observed that the Golgi apparatus has an internal polarity and that GERL is a part of this organelle in cytochemical respects.This study was supported by grants from the Japan Ministry of Education 相似文献

The present electron microscopic cytochemical investigation was undertaken to characterize the alterations in the golgi apparatus and GERL of rat parotid acinar cells during ethionine intoxication and recovery. Although the Golgi apparatus and GERL were reduced in size, and some broadening of the Golgi saccules occurred as the result of ethionine treatment, the relative localization of thiamine pyrophosphatase (TPPase) activity in the Golgi saccules, and acid phosphatase activity (AcPase) in GERL, remained unchanged. Shortly after ethionine treatment was stopped, a dramatic redistribution of enzyme activities was noted. Within the first 24 hours of recovery, the Golgi apparatus began to enlarge, and the content of secretory granules increased. By day 3 of recovery, cisternae morphologically identifiable as GERL and forming secretory granules possessed TPPase activity, while AcPase activity was virtually undetectable. After seven days of recovery, the Golgi apparatus and GERL appeared both morphologically and cytochemically normal. The enzyme modulation observed during recovery may be correlated with increased secretory granule production. Furthermore, the presence of TPPase activity in GERL and forming secretory granules lends support to the suggestion that GERL may be derived from the trans Golgi saccule. 相似文献

Enzyme modulation of the Golgi apparatus and GERL: a cytochemical study of parotid acinar cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The distribution of thiamine pyrophosphatase (TPPase) and acid phosphatase (AcPase) has been examined in resting parotid acinar cells as well as during decreased and increased secretory granule production. In resting acinar cells, TPPase activity was restricted to the trans Golgi saccules and AcPase activity was localized in GERL and immature secretory granules. Although secretory granule production is diminished during ethionine intoxication, no significant alteration in the distribution of either TPPase or AcPase was noted. However, marked changes in enzyme localization, especially of TPPase, occurred during accelerated secretory granule production. The alterations were essentially the same for all of the conditions studied (recovery from ethionine treatment, recovery from a protein depletion diet, secretory stimulation with isoproterenol, and postnatal maturation of the parotid gland). During maximal secretory granule production, TPPase activity was localized not only in the trans Golgi saccules, but also in GERL-like cisternae and immature secretory granules. The immature secretory granules were often in continuity with the GERL-like cisternae. At the same time that the TPPase activity was increased, the AcPase activity was frequently diminished. These modulations in enzyme activity provide evidence that GERL is derived from the trans Golgi saccule. 相似文献

Effects of secretory stimulation on the Golgi apparatus and GERL of rat parotid acinar cells 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The structure and cytochemistry of the Golgi apparatus and GERL of rat parotid acinar cells was studied after in vivo secretory stimulation with isoproterenol. Discharge of mature secretory granules was complete within 1 hr after isoproterenol injection, but immature granules in the Golgi region or near the lumen were not released. At early times (1-5 hr) after isoproterenol, acid phosphatase (AcPase) activity was markedly increased in GERL and immature secretory granules compared to uninjected controls. GERL appeared increased in extent and numerous continuities with immature granules were observed. Reaccumulation of mature secretory granules was first evident at 5 hr, and was almost complete by 16 hr after isoproterenol. Thiamine pyrophosphatase (TPPase) activity, normally restricted to the trans Golgi saccules, was frequently present in immature granules during this time. Narrow cisternae resembling GERL, occasionally in continuity with immature granules, also contained TPPase reaction product. By 16-24 hr after stimulation, the activity and distribution of AcPase and TPPase were similar to control cells. These results demonstrate the dynamic nature of the Golgi apparatus and GERL in parotid acinar cells, and emphasize the close structural and functional relationship between these two structures. 相似文献

Data from studies of ascitic cells of Chang hepatoma have shown that acid phosphatase (ACPase) can be localized simultaneously within the trans portion of the Golgi apparatus and in tubules of the Golgi-endoplasmic reticulum-lysosome (GERL) system. Reaction products of thiamine pyrophosphatase (TPPase) were also present consistently within trans elements of the Golgi apparatus and within GERL tubules. These new findings indicate that a close physiological association may exist between the Golgi apparatus and GERL, a concept that is consistent with previous observations of fibroblasts. When horseradish peroxidase (PO) is injected intraperitoneally into ascites-bearing rats and the ascitic cells withdrawn at different time intervals, PO could be localized within vesicles and tubules in the GERL region but could not be detected within the Golgi apparatus. Bulk-phase endocytosis requires a long time and a high concentration of PO to occur. The presence of PO within GERL indicates that this organelle may play a role in transporting or processing of certain exogenous proteins. 相似文献

Summary A cytochemical study of the Golgi apparatus in the developing oocyte of the golden hamster was carried out using the TPPase, AcPase and zinc iodide-osmium tetroxide (ZnOs) techniques. Tissue from both immature and sexually mature animals was investigated.Peak TPPase activity was found in pre-growth oocytes in ovaries from sexually mature adults. Some activity was also present in SER in the peripheral cytoplasm of growing oocytes. AcPase activity was found only after the onset of oocyte growth. It was present in Golgi cisternae and associated vesicles and in some profiles of peripheral SER. No structures corresponding to GERL were identified. Strong staining with ZnOs was seen, at all stages studied, in certain Golgi vesicles and short tubules but not in the cisternae unless the oocyte was atretic. Weaker ZnOs staining was characteristic of ER throughout the oocyte.With all techniques there was a falling off of reactivity as oocyte size increased. Within a single oocyte some Golgi bodies were negative while others were positive, with both TPPase and AcPase techniques. This suggests that two or more functional types of this organelle are present within the developing oocytes.We would like to thank Dr. K.N. Christie for his interest and helpful suggestions regarding the enzyme techniques 相似文献

The cytochemical demonstration of GERL in rat hepatocytes during lipoprotein mobilization 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
When a semisynthetic diet containing 1% orotic acid (OA) is fed to rats, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of hepatocytes vesiculates and lipoprotein (LP) droplets accumulate within the vesicles. When clofibrate (ethyl chlorophenoxyisobutyrate, CPIB) is added to the orotic acid-rich diet, the ER cisternae reform and the LP is mobilized through the reconstituted ER. A remarkable restoration of normal hepatocyte ultrastructure occurs except for a few organelles. From their morphological appearance it was suggested that cisternae which became dilated with small LP particles were part of GERL, abnormally enlarged. The present communication validates this interpretation through ultrastructural cytochemistry which can distinguish GERL from the adjacent Colgi apparatus. GERL shows acid phosphatase (AcPase) but not thiamine pyrophosphatase (TPPase) activity. In contrast, the adjacent Golgi element shows thiamine pyrophosphatase but not acid phosphatase activity. From such cytochemical studies we have recently proposed that GERL in normal rat hepatocytes may be involved in transforming LP particles, by enzymes like lipases that were presumed to be present in this hydrolase-rich portion of smooth ER. In the situation studied in this communication, the addition of ethyl chlorophenoxyisobutyrate to the diet causes the release from the ER of large amounts of LP to the Golgi apparatus and to GERL. Apparently the capacity of GERL to metabolize LP is exceeded and lipid accumulates in the residual bodies. 相似文献

Cellular compartments in mitotic cells: ultrahistochemical identification of Golgi elements in PtK-1 cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

This investigation focuses on the identification, distribution, and transport of intracellular membrane systems during mitosis. The membranes of the Golgi apparatus can be identified cytochemically by staining for acid phosphatase (acPase) and thiamine pyrophosphatase (TPPase) activity. Using this approach we are able to study the disintegration of the Golgi apparatus during mitosis and to follow the dislocation as well as the organized reappearance of Golgi elements after the completion of mitosis. We are able to demonstrate that during mitosis the activity of both enzymes is strong enough to react with the substrate applied during the staining procedure. Furthermore, we observe a characteristic pattern of membrane distribution in mitotic cells. During interphase the TPPase reaction is characteristically limited to one or two cisternae of a dictyosomal stack. The acPase reaction stains the membranes of the total stack, of the GERL, of some vesicles and cisternae near the dictyosomes and lysosomes. After the mitotic breakdown of the dictyosomal stacks the forming vesicles still stain positively and are distributed over the entire cytoplasm. At late anaphase and early telophase the enzyme activity occurs not only in the reconstituting dictyosomes but also in the nuclear envelope and in some ER cisternae. The extended spectrum of membrane structures indicating Golgi enzyme activity becomes obvious. This phenomenon favors the idea that at least some functions of the Golgi apparatus persist during mitosis. 相似文献

The method of secretory granuleformation in the acinar cells of the rat exorbital lacrimal gland was studied by electron microscope morphological and cytochemical techniques. Immature secretory granules at the inner face of the Golgi apparatus were frequently attached to a narrow cisternal structure similar to GERL as described in neurons by Novikoff et al. (Novikoff, P. M., A. B. Novikoff, N. Quintana, and J.-J. Hauw. 1971. J. Cell Bio. 50:859-886). In the lacrimal gland. GERL was located adjacent to the inner Golgi saccule, or separated from it by a variable distance. Portions of GERL were often closely paralleled by modified cisternae of rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), which lacked ribosomes on the surface adjacent to GERL. Diaminobenzidine reaction product of the secretory enzyme peroxidase was localized in the cisternae of the nuclear envelope, RER, peripheral Golgi vesicles, Golgi saccules, and immature and mature secretory granules. GERL was usually free of peroxidase reaction product or contained only a small amount. Thiamine pyrophosphatase reaction product was present in two to four inner Golgi saccules; occasionally, the innermost saccule was dilated and fenestrated, and contained less reaction product than the next adjacent saccule. Acid phosphatase (AcPase) reaction product was present in GERL, immature granules, and, rarely, in the innermost saccule, but not in the rest of the Golgi saccules. Thick sections of AcPase preparations viewed at 100 kV revealed that GERL consisted of cisternal, and fenestrated or tublular portions. The immature granules were attached to GERL by multiple connections to the tublular portions. These results suggest that, in the rat exorbital lacrimal gland, the Golgi saccules participate in the transport of secretory proteins, and that GERL is involved in the formation of secretory granules. 相似文献

The appearance and localization of the cytoplasmic phosphatases [acid phosphatase (AcPase) as a marker of lysosomes, TPPase as a marker of the Golgi apparatus, and NDPase (IDPase) as enzymatic marker of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)] were cytochemically studied on the ultrastructural level in secondary oocytes and in preimplantation mouse embryos. The detectable AcPase activity, located on the inner surface of the membrane delimiting some cytoplasmic vacuoles (lysosomes and autophagic vacuoles), appears at the eight-cell stage and grows pregressively stronger up to the blastocyst stage. Golgi-associated reaction for TPPase was detectable in oocytes, dropped in one-cell embryos and became negative in the two-cell embryos. The reaction for TPPase and IDPase was present in plasma membranes of oocytes and early embryos and appeared in the delimiting membrane of some cytoplasmic vesicles in eight-cell embryos. Some activity of IDPase was found in small segments of the ER at the morula and blastocyst stage. The observed results suggest that the lysosomes are the first organelles in early embryos showing activity of the marker enzymes of the phosphatase type, while the activity of other marker enzymes is mainly concentrated in the plasma membrane of blastomeres. It cannot be excluded, however, that positive reaction for TPPase and IDPase in the plasma membrane results from nonspecific action of other phosphatases. 相似文献

Exocrine acinar cells possess two cytochemically distinct populations of secondary lysosomes. One population is Golgi associated and has demonstrable acid phosphatase (AcPase) activity, whereas the second is basally located and lacks AcPase activity but has trimetaphosphatase (TMPase) activity. The basal lysosomes are tubular in shape and rapidly label with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) after intravenous injection. In the present study using isolated rat parotid acinar cells, the two lysosomal populations were separated by cell fractionation on Percoll density gradients and were analyzed biochemically and by EM cytochemistry. On 35% Percoll gradients, two peaks of AcPase and beta-hexosaminidase, both lysosomal marker enzymes, and succinic dehydrogenase, an enzyme marker for mitochondria, could be resolved. The major peaks of beta-hexosaminidase and succinic dehydrogenase and the minor peak of AcPase corresponded with the dense lysosome fraction. The major peak of AcPase and the minor peaks for beta-hexosaminidase and succinic dehydrogenase coincided with the light membrane fraction. Galactosyl transferase (a marker enzyme for Golgi saccules) and 5'-nucleotidase (a plasma membrane marker) were also associated with this fraction. By electron microscopy, the light membrane fraction was seen to contain tubular elements, multivesicular bodies (MVB), Golgi saccules, GERL, immature secretory granules, and some mitochondria. Electron microscopic cytochemical examination showed that these tubular structures were lysosomes. The dense lysosome fraction contained lysosomes positive for both AcPase and TMPase. After continuous incubation of isolated acinar cells with HRP, reaction product was rapidly localized to the light membrane fraction (greater than 2 min), where it was found in vesicles and tubular lysosomes. By 10 min it was present in MVB and tubular lysosomes, but by 60 min no HRP reaction product had appeared in the dense lysosomes. These results demonstrate that the tubular lysosomes are separable from dense lysosomes, typical secondary lysosomes, and are involved in the initial stages of endocytosis. 相似文献

The ultrastructural localisation of acid phosphatase activity was investigated on the guinea pig conjunctival epithelium incubated in vivo with a suspension of latex spheres. Deposits of acid phosphatase reaction product were concentrated on the elements of GERL, the phagocytic vacuoles, and the cell membrane. Acid phosphatase activity in GERL was intense in basal and suprabasal cells and decreased towards the superficial cells. Phagosomes containing latex spheres and reaction product of acid phosphatase were observed mainly in the centrospheral region of the superficial and intermediate epithelial cells. Acid phosphatase activity in phagocytising cells was not increased as compared to that in non-phagocytising cells. The observations indicate that existing acid phosphatase in unstimulated conjunctival epithelial cells is released into heterophagosomes brought within the lysosomal compartment. The number of secondary phagosomes seems to be increased by intercellular transport of latex spheres to the acid phosphatase rich cells in the deep layers of the epithelium. 相似文献

This study characterizes the cytochemical properties of the Golgi complex, the structure which corresponds to Golgi complex-endoplasmic reticulum-lysosomes (GERL), and the granule population in luteal cells of guinea pigs at the time of maximum progesterone secretion, in material fixed by vascular perfusion, a method particularly suited for preserving both fine structure and enzyme activity. The distribution of several marker enzymes was determined by electron microscope cytochemistry. Acid phosphatase (ACPase) and arylsulfatase were used to identify structures containing lysosomal proteins. To resolve specific problems, additional cytochemical markers were employed: localization of thiamine pyrophosphatase (TPPase) (in the Golgi complex) and alkaline phosphatase (ALPase) (a plasma membrane marker), and prolonged osmication (a generally accepted method of marking the outer cisterna of the Golgi complex). The results demonstrate that at the time of peak steroid secretion the Golgi complex in luteal cells, in marked contrast to that of most other cell types, typically displays intense ACPase activity in all of its cisternae. Similarly, all Golgi cisternae stain after prolonged osmication and may show TPPase activity. On the other hand, GERL in luteal cells of this age, unlike that in most cells, commonly shows low levels of, or lacks, ACPase activity. However, GERL resembles that of other cell types in being TPPase-negative and in being unstained by treatment with aqueous OsO4. GERL and some Golgi cisternae are reactive for ALPase. The granule population in luteal cells of this stage consists of lysosomes, multivesicular bodies, electrontransparent vacuoles, and microperoxisome-like bodies. These results form a base line with which luteolytic changes described in the companion study (Paavola, L.G. 1978. The corpus luteum of the guinea pig. III. Cytochemical studies on the Golgi complex and GERL during normal postpartum regression of luteal cells, emphasizing the origin of lysosomes and autophagic vacuoles. J. Cell.

To investigate the origin and nature of vesicles found within multivesicular bodies (mvb), the cytochemical staining properties of mvb vesicles were compared with those of other cytoplasmic vesicles, i.e. those associated with the Golgi complex and endocytic vesicles found near the apical cell surface. Rat epididymal tissue was stained in unbuffered OsO4 for 40–48 hr, and the distribution of stain was compared to that of reaction products for acid phosphatase (AcPase) to mark lysosomal vesicles, or thiamine pyrophosphatase (TPPase) to mark certain Golgi vesicles, or infused with peroxidase (HRPase) to demonstrate endocytic vesicles. Mvb vesicles were stained only by OsO4; AcPase, TPPase, and HRPase reaction products stained the mvb matrix. OsO4 also stained certain vesicles along the convex surface of the Golgi complex. The findings suggest that mvb vesicles in epididymal epithelium are not lysosomes and are not involved in protein uptake. The majority of these vesicles have cytochemical reactions in common with vesicles located along the convex surface of the Golgi complex and may be derived therefrom. A minority are derived from the mvb-limiting membrane. 相似文献
