The application of Giemsa technique to stain compressed diaphragm samples obtained from rodents experimentally infected with Trichinella spiralis is described. Diaphragm samples from rats heavily infected with 20 muscle larvae per gram of body weight (20 ML/gbw) were cut into several pieces and stained with Giemsa; on the other hand, whole diaphragms from slightly infected mice (1 ML/gbw) were also stained with Giemsa. Besides, muscle samples were also stained with Giemsa. Observation at 10 x magnification revealed that both ML and nurse cells (NC) look as bluish structures clearly contrasting with the pinkish color of the non-infected muscle fibers. NC in the diaphragms of mice could be easily observed at naked eye as blue points contrasting with the pink surrounding areas formed by the non-infected muscle fibers. Among NC observed in the diaphragms of rats infected with 20 ML/gbw, 4.4% was multiple infection. These findings were confirmed in sectioned and hematoxylin-eosin stained specimens. This data could be usefulness for a rapid diagnosis of trichinellosis in post-mortem mammals without magnification procedures. 相似文献

The earliest detectable change during regeneration of the gastrodermis in Dugesia japonica was an aggregation of regenerative cells underneath the gastrodermis remaining at the wound margin. The gastrodermal cells in experimental regenerates retained some of their original characters and presented no indication of cell dedifferentiation. The regenerative cells came into contact with the basal surface of gastrodermal cells, forming stratified cell layers. Differentiation of these cells into gastrodermal cells was initiated by the development of synthetic organelles within their cytoplasm. These differentiating cells gave rise to two different types of gastrodermal cells, namely phagocytic cells and sphere cells. In later stages, there was an apparent movement of differentiated gastrodermal cells towards the parenchyma. 相似文献

Large, free-floating crystals of calcium carbonate occur in vacuoles of gastrodermal cells of the hydroid Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus. Here, morphological details about the process by which these cells accumulate and sequester calcium are provided by a cytochemical method designed to demonstrate calcium at the ultrastructural level. Electron-dense material presumably indicative of the presence of calcium was EGTA-sensitive and was shown by parallel electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) and energy spectroscopic imaging (ESI) to contain calcium. Calcium occurred in only one cell type, the endodermally derived gastrodermal cell. In these cells, the electron-dense material appeared first as a fine precipitate in the cytosol and nucleus and later as larger deposits and aggregates in the vacuole. During the life cycle, gastrodermal cells of the uninduced planula and the planula during metamorphic induction sequestered calcium. In primary polyps and polyps from established colonies, gastrodermal cells sequestered calcium, but the endodermal secretory cells did not. Our observations support the hypothesis that gastrodermal cells function as a physiological sink for calcium that enters the organism in conjunction with calcium-requiring processes such as motility, secretion, and metamorphosis. 相似文献

Three-week-old male rats of the Wistar strain were given tritiated thymidine, 1 µc/gm body weight, intraperitoneally and were killed at intervals from 0.25 to 72 hours later. Autoradiographs were made from 5 µ sections, stained by the Feulgen method. The replication time and its component intervals were determined from the scoring of the labeling of interphase nuclei as well as of prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase nuclei. Absorption of the intraperitoneally injected label is rapid and is attended by "flash" labeling during interphase. The results show that at any one time about 4 per cent of the liver cells are synthesizing DNA preliminary to cell division. These cells alternate with waves of other cells and it is estimated that about 10 per cent of the liver cell population is engaged in cell duplication. The replication time is about 21.5 hours, and its component intervals occupy the following times: DNA synthesis, 9 hours; post-DNA synthesis gap, 0.50 hour; prophase, 1.3 hours; metaphase, 1.0 hour; anaphase, 0.4 hour; telophase, 0.3 hour; postmitosis gap, 9.0 hours. A group of liver cells has been recorded in at least 3 successive replication cycles. 相似文献

Phagocytic activities of the gorgonian coral Swiftia exserta 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The cellular response component of body defense in gorgonians and other cnidarians is thought to be carried out by cells with phagocytic capabilities. To test for the phagocytic character of cells, the introduction of foreign particles was employed and observed in both living cells and histological preparations of the gorgonian coral Swiftia exserta. Observations of untreated tissues revealed normal cells and tissue morphologies. A microscopic observation of living cells following the introduction of particles in a cut revealed that only a mixed population of colorless cells phagocytized the particles. Also particles or clumps of particles were seen on the surface of the colorless cells. Subsequent histological observations allowed identity of colorless cells to be inferred as granular amoebocytes, ectodermal cells, and gastrodermal cells. Cells stained for localization of peroxidase (indicative of phagocytic activity) demonstrated the presence of peroxidase-positive cells. Histological preparations revealed that major phagocytosis of particles was associated with tissue trauma. When particles were introduced by means of a cut or inserted thread, phagocytic activity was detected within 2 h. However, it was confined to the granular amoebocytes in the immediate site of trauma. After 24 h, extensive phagocytosis spread throughout a relatively large area surrounding the wound. At that later time, phagocytic cell types included granular amoebocytes, epidermal cells, sclerocytes, mesogleal cells, and gastrodermal cells of the solenia. Observations suggest that trauma induces phagocytosis in cells not normally phagocytic in S. exserta. No localization of phagocytic cells and no mitotic cells were observed at either 2 or 24 h after particle introduction. 相似文献

The skin of an adult frog of Xenopus laevis was characterized by the reactivity of 20 lectins. The lectins were classified into six groups in their binding to the epidermal cells: Lycopersicon esculentum lectin (LEL)-type which was positive for all epidermal cells; Pisum sativum agglutinin (PSA)-type for stratum germinativum; succinylated wheat germ agglutinin (sWGA)-type for strata spinosum, granulosum and corneum; Dolichos biflorus agglutinin (DBA)-type for strata germinativum and spinosum; peanut agglutinin (PNA)-type for stratum spinosum; and Ulex europaeus agglutinin (UEA-I)-type for strata granulosum and corneum. PSA and sWGA were utilized as markers of mitotically active germinative cells and the differentiated cells of the epidermis, respectively, to describe the metamorphic conversion of larval epidermal cells to adult type. PSA stained all epidermal cells of tadpoles before metamorphic climax. At the end of metamorphosis, PSA-positive cells were restricted to cells in the basal layer of body epidermis while all the tail epidermis remained PSA-positive. The other cell marker, sWGA, only stained apical cells in tadpole epidermis. During the metamorphic climax, sWGA-positive cells appeared in the cells beneath the stratum corneum of the body region, but not in the tail region. The present study demonstrates that PSA and sWGA are useful to investigate metamorphic changes in tadpole epidermal cells. 相似文献

Pulse labeling with tritiated thymidine has permitted the identification of a progenitor cell compartment at the base of the hypostomal glandular ridges of the marine hydroid Podocoryne carnea. This progenitor compartment produces cells which move out on the ridges differentiate as digestive gland cells, and are ejected into the gastro-vascular cavity. Spherous gland cells of the body appear not to be part of this circumscribed replacement system. There appears to be no proximal movement of gastrodermal cells in the body of this marine hydroid. 相似文献

The morphology of the mantle in free-swimming and metamorphosing larvae of the articulate brachiopod Terebratalia transversa has been examined by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The mantle begins to form approximately 2 days after fertilization and subsequently develops into a skirtlike lobe that encircles the middle region of the larval body. A simple epithelium covers both the outer surface of the mantle lobe and the inner side situated next to the pedicle lobe of the larva. During metamorphosis, the mantle lobe is everted over the anterior end of the larva. Thus, the epithelium covering the outer part of the mantle lobe in the larva subsequently becomes the inner epithelium of the juvenile mantle. Similarly, the inner epithelium of the larval mantle lobe represents the future outer epithelium of the juvenile mantle. In free-swimming larvae, the prospective outer mantle epithelium contains two types of cells, called "lobate" and "vesicular" cells. Lobate cells initially deposit a thin layer of amorphous material, and vesicular cells produce ovoid multigranular bodies. Following settlement at about 5 days postfertilization, the vesicular cells secrete an electron-dense sheet that constitutes the basal layer of the developing periostracum. Within several hours to a day thereafter, reversal of the mantle lobe is rapidly effected, apparently by contractions of the pedicle adjustor muscles. 相似文献

Cell Death and Acid Phosphatase Activity in the Regenerating Planarian Polycelis tenuis Iijima 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

A combination of microscopical, cytochemical, and biochemical techniques have been employed to study the changes occurring during the first seven days of blastema formation and regeneration after decapitation in adult Polycelis tenuis worms. Fine structural data reveal evidence of cell fragmentation, selective cell deletion, and phagocytosis at and below the wound surface. Initially, (0–12 h regeneration) cell debris is phagocytosed by intact parenchymal and gastrodermal cells near the cut surface which is later sealed (24 h) by a stretching of marginal epidermal cells. Wound sealing is followed by a migration of newly differentiated rhabdite cells into the epithelium. Morphological evidence of a selective cell autolysis precedes evidence of an accumuluation of lipid and glycogen reserves in the parenchymal and gastrodermal cells and the later (48 h regeneration time) aggregation of undifferentiated mitotically active neoblasts beneath the wound.
Biochemical data reveal an early period of high acid phosphatase (p-nitrophenyl phosphatase and sodium-β-glycerophosphatase) activity 3–12 h after injury, followed by a further intense period of activity at 44–48 h after decapitation. The coincident cytochemical data show an increased level of acid phosphatase activity associated with cell lysis and death in the wound and blastema zone and also with the digestion of phagocytosed cell debris. 相似文献

This report describes a method by which mitotic cells were isolated from nonsynchronized Cloudman melanoma cells that had been pulse labeled with 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdUrd) and double-stained with a fluoresceinated monoclonal antibody to BrdUrd and with propidium iodide (PI). In initial experiments, melanoma cells were first pulse labeled with BrdUrd, treated with prostaglandin E1 (PGE1 10 micrograms/m1) or vehicle (0.1% ethanol) for up to 24 hours, then stained with anti-BrdUrd and PI. PGE1-treated cells monitored at 3-hour intervals were observed to migrate from S phase to G2 phase, then, enigmatically, back into the late S phase region of the distribution. In other experiments, cells treated with PGE1 were pulse labeled with BrdUrd at the end of the treatment period and harvested. In these experiments, there was a small, discrete subpopulation of cells within the late S phase region of the DNA distribution that was negative for anti-BrdUrd. This subpopulation of cells was sorted and examined by light microscopy. We observed that 95% of these BrdUrd-negative "S phase" cells were mitotic cells. Since mitotic cells and G2 cells have equivalent amounts of DNA, the reduced red fluorescence exhibited by these cells may be due to a greater sensitivity to denaturation, which has been described for DNA of mitotic cells, and would account for the phenomenon of cells appearing to move "backwards" in the cell cycle. This report indicates that although the BrdUrd/PI method can further define the cell cycle into four compartments, it can also lead to over-estimation of S phase cells in kinetic studies because of contaminating mitotic cells. 相似文献

Immunocytochemical localization of amylase in the parotid gland of developing and adult rats 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
An antiserum against purified rat parotid amylase was used to localize the protein in parotid glands of developing and adult rats. The unlabeled antibody peroxidase-antiperoxidase method and the protein A-gold colloid technique were used at the light and electron microscope levels, respectively. Immunoreactive amylase was detected in a few scattered cells in the glands of 2-day-old rats. During the following days the number of cells stained immunocytochemically for amylase increased rapidly; at 15 days of age all acinar cells revealed amylase, but the intensity of immunostaining varied from cell to cell. Electron microscopically, amylase was localized in the secretory granules, and by using a more concentrated antiserum, in the rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complex. At early stages of development the acinar cells contained fewer and smaller secretory granules than in adult animals; the gold particles indicative of amylase were randomly distributed over the secretory granules. In the glands of adult rats, amylase was distributed inhomogeneously within the secretory granules. In the majority of secretory granules gold colloid particles were located over the electron-dense portions of the granules. However, secretory granules in which an amylase-rich shell surrounded an amylase-poor or amylase-negative "core" were not infrequent. 相似文献

Light and transmission electron microscopy have been used to study the gastrodermal gland cells of the triclad Dugesia gonocephala s.l. The events involved in the ultrastructural transformation and the secretion process in these cells were followed at four different stages in both fasted and fed animals. During the feeding stage their secretory granules are directly discharged into the intestinal lumen by means of a secretion process of the holocrine type that is described in this paper. It is suggested that such secretions contribute to extracellular digestion and that disintegration of the gland cells is accompanied by a differentiation of neoblasts into new gland cells, reflecting a turnover of gland cells during the triclad digestive stages. 相似文献

An array of schistosome endoproteases involved in the digestion of host hemoglobin to absorbable peptides has been described, but the exoprotease responsible for catabolising these peptides to amino acids has yet to be identified. By searching the public databases we found that Schistosoma mansoni and Schistosoma japonicum express a gene encoding a member of the M17 family of leucine aminopeptidases (LAPs). A functional recombinant S. mansoni LAP produced in insect cells shared biochemical properties, including pH optimum for activity, substrate specificity and reliance on metal cations for activity, with the major aminopeptidase activity in soluble extracts of adult worms. The pH range in which the enzyme functions and the lack of a signal peptide indicate that the enzyme functions intracellularly. Immunolocalisation studies showed that the S. mansoni LAP is synthesised in the gastrodermal cells surrounding the gut lumen. Accordingly, we propose that peptides generated in the lumen of the schistosome gut are absorbed into the gastrodermal cells and are cleaved by LAP to free amino acids before being distributed to the internal tissues of the parasite. Since LAP was also localised to the surface tegument it may play an additional role in surface membrane re-modelling. 相似文献

In the context of global change, symbiotic cnidarians are largely affected by seawater temperature elevation leading to symbiosis breakdown. This process, also called bleaching, is triggered by the dysfunction of the symbiont photosystems causing an oxidative stress and cell death to both symbiont and host cells. In our study, we wanted to elucidate the intrinsic capacity of isolated animal cells to deal with thermal stress in the absence of symbiont. In that aim, we have characterized an animal primary cell culture form regenerating tentacles of the temperate sea anemone Anemonia viridis. We first compared the potential of whole tissue tentacle or separated epidermal or gastrodermal monolayers as tissue sources to settle animal cell cultures. Interestingly, only isolated cells extracted from whole tentacles allowed establishing a viable and proliferative primary cell culture throughout 31 days. The analysis of the expression of tissue-specific and pluripotency markers defined cultivated cells as differentiated cells with gastrodermal origin. The characterization of the animal primary cell culture allowed us to submit the obtained gastrodermal cells to hyperthermal stress (+?5 and +?8 °C) during 1 and 7 days. Though cell viability was not affected at both hyperthermal stress conditions, cell growth drastically decreased. In addition, only a +?8 °C hyperthermia induced a transient increase of antioxidant defences at 1 day but no ubiquitin or carbonylation protein damages. These results demonstrated an intrinsic resistance of cnidarian gastrodermal cells to hyperthermal stress and then confirmed the role of symbionts in the hyperthermia sensitivity leading to bleaching. 相似文献

The ova of Anthopleura ballii become infected with zooxanthellae (endosymbiotic dinoflagellates) of maternal origin just prior to spawning. After fertilization, the zygotes undergo radial, holoblastic cleavage, and then gastrulate by invagination to form ciliated planulae. Because the zooxanthellae are localized on one side of the ovum-and later, within the blastomeres at one end of the embryo-invagination leads to the zooxanthellae being restricted to the planular endoderm and hence to the gastrodermal cells of the adult anemone. We propose that maternal inheritance of zooxanthellae plays an important part in the success of these temperate sea anemones, which live in regions where potential sources of zooxanthellae are scarce. 相似文献

Light microscope peroxidase-antiperoxidase immunohistochemistry has been applied to the pituitary of adult and fetal sheep from 40 to 145 days of gestation. In the adult, immunoreactive ACTH cells were darkly stained and angular with cytoplasmic processes surrounding neighbouring unstained cells. In the fetus, cells which stained for ACTH were observed in the pars distalis at 40 days. From approximately 90 days, two morphologically distinct ACTH-positive cell types were clearly discernible. The predominant type was large and variably stained. These cells usually occurred in clusters and were often arranged in palisades. The other type resembled ACTH-positive cells in the adult. After 130 days the population of large cells declined and completely disappeared before term in most fetuses. The pars intermedia showed a different pattern of staining. In the fetus, ACTH-positive cells were observed in this region after 60 days gestation and by 90 days almost all the pars intermedia cells were strongly stained. By contrast, the cells in the adult pars intermedia were only lightly stained. 相似文献

Electron microscopy and stereological methods have been used to study the time course and mechanism of mitochondrial genesis in the adult fat body of Calpodes ethlius, (Lepidoptera, Hesperiidae). Most of the larval mitochondria are destroyed during a phase of autolysis shortly before pupation, so that pupal and early adult fat body cells have few mitochondria. The number of mitochondria per cell increases rapidly at the end of the 1st day after the adult emerges. Characteristic partitioned mitochondria appear during the period when the number is rapidly increasing. This evidence, coupled with the results of morphometric analyses of mitochondrial diameter, volume, and surface area, confirms the view that the genesis of adult mitochondria involves the growth and division of mitochondria surviving from the larva. 相似文献

We have developed a flow cytometric immunofluorescence technique for the quantification of growth hormone (GH), prolactin (PRL), and luteinizing hormone (LH) producing cells. The procedure requires about 24 hours and can objectively count 50,000 cells in about 3 minutes. It is based on indirect-immunofluorescence (fluorescein) of intracellular hormone using an EPICS V cell sorter. The fluorescein distributions are gated on DNA content (propidium iodide) to eliminate counting cell clumps. Cells from the same suspensions were stained immunocytochemically and counted microscopically (1,000-2,000 cells/sample). Immunofluorescence and immunocytochemistry correlated to within a few percent for GH and PRL cells. Cell suspensions from adult males and females with or without castration and a diethylstilbestrol (DES)-induced primary pituitary tumor were used to test the method. A major finding of this study was the objective identification of two populations of PRL producing cells, i.e., lightly and intensely stained cells. On the other hand, the fluorescence distribution of PRL cells from DES-induced pituitary tumors did not fall into two distinct populations but, rather, represented a broad continuum. This method should prove useful in studying the dynamics of pituitary cell populations under various physiological and pharmacological conditions. 相似文献

The development of Paragordius varius (Nematomorpha), in the parasitic phase of the life cycle, was followed ultrastructurally from 10 days after controlled infection of crickets (Gryllus firmus) to mature animals at 30 days after infection. During this time span, specimens grow from about 1 cm to more than 10 cm and from 93 m to about 400 m in diameter. A thin larval cuticle is replaced at about day 20 by a robust adult cuticle. Epidermis and intestine appear physiologically active during the early stages, but decrease in size and cytological components during further development. This is probably connected to the uptake of nutrients through the larval cuticle, whereas the adult cuticle has only protective function. The longitudinal musculature grows continuously and changes from fewer platymyarian cells to abundant coelomyarian cells. The ventral nerve cord shifts from an intraepidermal to a submuscular position during development. Additionally, basiepidermal nerves are present. Gonads develop from paired dorsolateral compact strands. It seems that in males, cells within these strands separate into epithelial and central cells, which become the gametes, while in females, gametes proliferate from the strands into the primary body cavity and fill it up completely. In males, there is a large quantity of parenchyma, restricting the body cavity to a small periintestinal space, while in females, parenchyma occurs only in the periphery of the gametes. 相似文献
