We have studied by electron microscopy and immunocytochemistry the formation of secretory granules containing adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) in murine pituitary cells of the AtT20 line. The first compartment in which condensed secretory protein appears is a complex reticular network at the extreme trans side of the Golgi stacks beyond the TPPase-positive cisternae. Condensed secretory protein accumulates in dilated regions of this trans Golgi network. Examination of en face and serial sections revealed that "condensing vacuoles" are in fact dilations of the trans Golgi network and not detached vacuoles. Only after presumptive secretory granules have reached an advanced stage of morphological maturation do they detach from the trans Golgi network. Frequently both the dilations of the trans Golgi network containing condensing secretory protein and the detached immature granules in the peri-Golgi region have surface coats which were identified as clathrin by immunocytochemistry. Moreover both are the site of budding (or fusion) of coated vesicles, some of which contain condensed secretory protein. The mature granules below the plasma membrane do not, however, have surface coats. Immunoperoxidase labeling with an antiserum specific for ACTH and its precursor polypeptide confirmed that many of the coated vesicles associated with the trans Golgi network contain ACTH. The involvement of the trans Golgi network and coated vesicles in the formation of secretory granules is discussed. 相似文献

The ultrastructure of the parathyroid glands of adult Japanese lizards (Takydromus tachydromoides) in the spring and summer season was examined. The parenchyma of the gland consists of chief cells arranged in cords or solid masses. Many chief cells contain numerous free ribosomes and mitochondria, well-developed Golgi complexes, a few lysosome-like bodies, some multivesicular bodies and relatively numerous lipid droplets. The endoplasmic reticulum is mainly smooth-surfaced. Cisternae of the rough endoplasmic reticulum are distributed randomly in the cytoplasm. Small coated vesicles of 700-800 Å in diameter are found occasionally in the cytoplasm, especially in the Golgi region. The chief cells contain occasional secretory granules of 150-300 nm in diameter that are distributed randomly in the cytoplasm and lie close to the plasma membrane. Electron dense material similar to the contents of the secretory granules is observed in the enlarged intercellular space. These findings suggest that the secretory granules may be discharged into the intercellular space by an eruptocrine type of secretion. Coated vesicles (invaginations) connected to the plasma membrane and smooth vesicles arranged in a row near the plasma membrane are observed. It is suggested that such coated vesicles may take up extracellular proteins. The accumulation of microfilaments is sometimes recognized. Morphological evidence of synthetic and secretory activities in the chief cells suggests active parathyroid function in the Japanese lizard during the spring and summer season. 相似文献

Summary Persistent estrus and diestrus was produced in rats by the administration of estrone for either 5 days or 30 days, respectively, immediately after birth. Female rats without any treatment were used for control. After these rats grew up, the anterior pituitaries were examined by electron microscopy. The identification criteria for two types of gonadotrophs, FSH-and LH-cells, proposed by Barnes were adopted. In the persistent estrous rats, FSH-gonadotrophs were almost normal, but LH-gonadotrophs were filled with an abundance of secretory granules which were probably suppressed in discharge. On the other hand, in the persistent diestrous rats, FSH-cells were few in number and strongly atrophic, containing a few secretory granules, while LH-cells were almost normal or rather slightly activated. These electron microscopic findings well coincide with the results of light microscopy of ovaries, which suggested that in the persistent estrous rats FSH secretion might be almost normal but the secretion of LH might be inhibited, while in the persistent diestrous rats FSH secretion might be almost totally abolished but LH might be moderately secreted. From these findings, identification of FSH-and LH-gonadotrophs in the anterior pituitary of the rat well coincides with that proposed by Barnes in mice. 相似文献

The light and electron microscopy of the cervical epithelium of ovulatory, estrous, and long-term ovariectomized rabbits have been studied to determine what structural changes occur under different hormonal conditions. The percentage of nonciliated secretory cells is 49.6 in ovulatory, 43.6 in estrous, and 23.7 in long-term ovariectomized rabbits, and of ciliated cells is 50.2 in ovulatory, 56.2 in estrous, and 76.3 in long-term ovariectomized animals. The values for the ovulatory and estrous rabbits are significantly different at the P less than 0.05 level from those of the ovariectomized animals. In all 3 groups the general ultrastructure of the normal ciliated cells is similar. Interestingly, the Golgi complex is very prominent in all. Glycogen bodies occur frequently only in ciliated cells of ovariectomized and occasionally of estrous animals. Abnormalities in ciliation are quite common in the ovariectomized rabbits. The structure of the nonciliated secretory cells varies appreciably within and between the 3 groups. In these cells from well-developed epithelia of certain ovulatory and estrous animals, the apical cytoplasm contains secretory granules of at least three types. In addition, very irregularly shaped, dense, perinuclear granules occur, which may be another type of secretory granule or lysosomes. As compared to ciliated cells, the secretory cells have less prominent Golgi complexes, more abundant bundles of intermediate filaments, a more extensive glycocalyx on their apical surface, and more heterochromatic nuclei. In comparison to the cells of well-developed epithelia, the nonciliated cells of some other ovulatory and estrous rabbits are less well differentiated with fewer or no secretory granules and less well developed organelles. In the nonciliated cells of the long-term ovariectomized rabbits, there are no secretory or dense perinuclear granules. There is a decrease in the number of organelles that are involved in secretion, in the size of the cells, and in the amount of nuclear euchromatin. 相似文献

Clathrin provides an external scaffold to form small 50-100-nm transport vesicles. In contrast, formation of much larger dense-cored secretory granules is driven by selective aggregation of internal cargo at the trans-Golgi network; the only known role of clathrin in dense-cored secretory granules formation is to remove missorted proteins by small, coated vesicles during maturation of these spherical organelles. The formation of Weibel-Palade bodies (WPBs) is also cargo driven, but these are cigar-shaped organelles up to 5 mum long. We hypothesized that a cytoplasmic coat might be required to make these very different structures, and we found that new and forming WPBs are extensively, sometimes completely, coated. Overexpression of an AP-180 truncation mutant that prevents clathrin coat formation or reduced AP-1 expression by small interfering RNA both block WPB formation. We propose that, in contrast to other secretory granules, cargo aggregation alone is not sufficient to form immature WPBs and that an external scaffold that contains AP-1 and clathrin is essential. 相似文献

Ultrastructural changes in the oviductal epithelium of Merino ewes during the estrous cycle 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Isthmic and ampullary oviductal epithelia sampled from Merino ewes at days -1, 1, 3, and 10 of the estrous cycle (estrus = day 0) were studied by scanning and transmission electron microscopy after fixation by vascular perfusion. Secretory cells, ciliated cells, and lymphocytelike basal cells were observed in both isthmic and ampullary epithelium at all stages of the estrous cycle studied and their ultrastructural features were analyzed. Synthesis of lamellated secretory granules occurred in the ampullary secretory cells during the follicular and early luteal phases, and their contents were released by exocytosis into the oviductal lumen during the luteal phase. Granule release was associated with nucleated apical protrusion of these cells into the oviductal lumen. No such secretory activity was displayed by isthmic secretory cells even though a few cells contained nonlamellated granules. Apocrine release of apical vesicles and accompanying cytoplasmic material from apical protrusions of ciliated cells occurred in the isthmus around estrus but not in the ampulla. This unexpected feature has not previously been reported in any other mammal. Dendritic basal cells were distinguished in the lower part of the epithelium by their heterochromatic nuclei, electron-lucent cytoplasm, and lack of attachment zones. No migration of basal cells was observed, and their ultrastructural features were similar in the ampulla and isthmus and at all stages of the estrous cycle examined. The function of these lymphocytelike cells in the epithelium is uncertain, but the presence of phagocytic bodies and lysosomes in 20% of them may indicate a phagocytic role. 相似文献

Morphometric, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) investigations have displayed regional differences in the mare oviductal epithelium. The entire mucosa of the oviduct was lined with a pseudostratified epithelium, which consisted of two distinct cell types, ciliated and non-ciliated. Ciliated cells were predominant in the three different segments of the oviduct and their percentage increased from fimbriae to ampulla and significantly decreased in the isthmus. SEM revealed in the infundibulum finger-like mucosal folds, some of them interconnected, in the ampulla numerous and elaborated branched folds of the mucosa, whereas the isthmus displayed a narrow lumen, short and non-branched mucosal folds. In the ampulla and isthmus the majority of non-ciliated cells showed apical blebs provided or not of short microvilli. TEM displayed different ultrastructural features of ciliated and non-ciliated cells along the oviduct. Isthmus ciliated cells presented a more electron-dense cytoplasm than in infundibulum and ampulla cells and its cilia were enclosed in an amorphous matrix. The non-ciliated cells of infundibulum did not contain secretory granules but some apical endocytic vesicles and microvilli coated by a well developed glycocalyx. Non-ciliated cells of ampulla and isthmus contained secretory granules. Apical protrusions of ampulla displayed two types of secretory granules as well as occasional electron-lucent vesicles. Isthmus non-ciliated cells showed either electron-lucent or electron-dense cytoplasm and not all contained apical protrusions. The electron-dense non-ciliated cells displayed microvilli coated with a well developed glycocalyx. Three types of granules were observed in the isthmus non-ciliated cells. The regional differences observed along the epithelium lining the mare oviduct suggest that the epithelium of the each segment is involved in the production of a distinctive microenvironment with a unique biochemical milieu related to its functional role. 相似文献

Summary The localization of calcium and its functional properties in anterior pituitary cells were studied using a potassium pyroantimonate technique. In all kinds of secretory cells, the precipitates of the calcium-pyroantimonate complex were distributed on the limiting membrane of the secretory granule. They were present also in the cytoplasmic matrix, the mitochondrial matrix, small smooth vesicles, coated vesicles, and in the nuclear euchromatin area. The precipitates were usually seen at the contact region between the limiting membranes of two adjacent secretory granules, or between the granule limiting membrane and the plasma membrane. When the tissues were incubated in the medium containing A23187 (10 M) for 5 min, the deposits on the granule limiting membrane were increased in number and those on the mitochondrial matrix were decreased; the reaction products almost disappeared on the limiting membranes of the secretory granules after membrane fusion following single or multigranular exocytosis induced by A23187-treatment. In addition, small vesicles in the capillary endothelium contained reaction precipitates. Based on these results we propose a hypothetical model for the relationship between the localization of calcium and secretory activity.This study was supported by grants from the Japan Ministry of Education 相似文献

An immunohistochemical study of the anterior pituitary gland of the female Afghan pika was carried out to distinguish the ultrastructural features of GH, PRL, ACTH, TSH and LH cells. The histochemically identified GH cells resembled ultrastructurally oval or round GH cells of the rat laden with large, dense secretory granules. PRL cells were divided into three subtypes based on differences in the diameter of their spherical secretory granules. They lacked polymorphic or irregularly shaped secretory granules. ACTH cells resembled ultrastructurally, in some respects, Siperstein's "corticotrophs" of the rat with peripheral arrangement of secretory granules. However, they were not always stellate, but elongate or angular in shape. The dense secretory granules were concentrated in the peripheral area of cytoplasm. TSH cells were non-stellate, but usually oval in shape, containing the smallest spherical secretory granules (100-200 nm in diameter). Almost all LH cells reacted also with FSH antiserum. They were irregular in shape, sometimes in contact with or surrounded the GH cells. They contained an abundance of medium-sized secretory granules (140-260 nm in diameter) which were larger than those in the LH cells of the female rat throughout the estrous cycle. Large secretory granules in the LH cells of the female pika seemed to be related to the endocrine state of persistent estrus. 相似文献

In the region of the base of the intestinal crypts undifferentiated goblet cells display a configuration and constellation of organelles and membrane structures that are indicative of their importance for function. These images at this stage of development deliver a scenario of the mechanism of secretory granule production: aggregates of protein vesicles from the "transitional elements" (PALADE) of the granular endoplasmic reticulum are, so to speak, rolled up on the trans side of the Golgi apparatus by inversion of peripheral membrane segments of the innermost Golgi lamellae, thereby forming corpuscles. The origin of the capsulated vacuoles, which contain vesicles as single elements or as conglomerates, is well established. Their capsule consists of a trilaminar external and external and internal membrane; between them lies condensed material of the Golgi apparatus. In the opinion of the present author, the development of the ensheathed vacuoles represents a basic, more general mechanism. In contrast, the further steps of synthesis, for the formation of secretory granules, are more heterogeneous. Condensation of the vesicles and the inner capsular membrane results in the formation of a prosecretory granule, which in the basic element in the process of secretory granule production. The prosecretory granules develop singly or by fusion with other granules to give primary secretory granules. The complexity of this mechanism of secretory granule formation, however, becomes evident when considering the apposition of capsulated vacuoles and prosecretory--primary--secondary secretory granules, of prosecretory and primary secretory granules as well as prosecretory granules and secondary secretory granules. Generally, primary granules show a tendency to become secondary secretory granules or to fuse with them. During maturation of the goblet cells the secretory granules fuse to form larger mucous bodies in the theca by fusion of the laminae of the membranes; a final product, there is a homogeneous mucous mass devoid of membranes. 相似文献

Fine structure of the corpuscles of stannius in the toadfish. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The micro-anatomy of the corpuscles of Stannius of the toadfish, Opsanus tau, an aglomerular marine teleost, has been studied by light and electron microscopy. The corpuscles are composed of extensively anastomosed cords of epithelial cells which maintain intimate contact with blood capillaries. Most of the epithelial cells contain acidophilic granules which also show a positive reaction with the periodic acid-Schiff technique and aldehyde fuchsin. On the basis of fine structural criteria, three cell types can be recognized. The granular cells contain abundant quantities of granular endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, Golgi apparatus with prosecretory granules, coated vesicles, polymorphic mitochondria with lamellar cristae, filaments, microtubules, a cilium, a variety of lysosome-like dense bodies, glycogen particles, lipid droplets, secretory granules and intranuclear lipid-like inclusions. One variety of agranular cell (type I) is characterized by the total absence of secretory granules, but it contains large amounts of granular endoplasmic reticulum and ribosomes, conspicuous profiles of Golgi apparatus, coated vesicles and sometimes an abundance of glycogen. Another variety of agranular cell (type II) has poorly developed cytoplasmic organelles. The perivascular space between the capillary and parenchyma contains connective tissue cells and abundant nerve fibers. The different types of epithelial cells observed in the corpuscles of Stannius of this fish may represent functional stages of the secretory cycle in a single cell type. 相似文献

Presence of APUD-type cells in the ciliated cysts of the parathyroid glands of ozonized dog is described in this report. These cells were present on the abluminal side of the cyst wall and contained secretory granules with dense core, homogeneous matrix and coated vesicles throughout the cytoplasm. Intermixed with the granules were sheaves of microfilaments which were mostly seen in the perinuclear area. The APUD cells formed hemidesmosomes with the basal lamina. 相似文献

The notochords of three normal, 35-day Macaca mulatta embryos were examined ultrastructurally. Notochordal cells had numerous polysomes and ribosomes, and some rough endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, Golgi complexes, coated vesicles, and secretory granules. A discontinuous basal lamina surrounded the notochord. Intercellular channels and the perinotochordal sheath contained fibrils. It was found that the ultrastructure of the rhesus monkey notochord at stage 17 resembles that of the chick and mouse. 相似文献

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

Summary Using an in situ tannic acid perfusion technique, this study presents evidence that the removal of membrane components from the rat atrial secretory granule membrane after granule exocytosis is mediated by coated vesicles. When tannic acid is used to arrest the post-fusion stages of granule release, coated pit formation occurs on granule membrane, which, although continuous with the sarcolemma, is easily recognised by the membrane omega profile and the continued presence of the granule core. Tannic acid perfusion, before aldehyde fixation, allows a degree of continued cell function, and granule fusions can persist after tannic acid has reached the cell. This results in an increase in the numbers of fusion profiles and the appearance of coated pits on granule membrane at these sites. The proportion of granules with coats increases with perfusion time, suggesting that endocytotic, as well exocytotic events, may be arrested by the action of tannic acid. Coated vesicles are also involved at earlier stages of the release pathway. In other types of secretory system this is considered to represent recycling of membrane proteins as part of the maturation process of the granule. Although arrested granules exhibiting this clathrin coat could have had the coat prior to fusion, as part of the maturation process, our results show that it is more likely to represent a second stage of membrane protein recycling; the postfusion reclamation of proteins from the sarcolemma. This facet of the tannic acid perfusion procedure suggests a general method for quantifying coated pit formation during secretory granule release. 相似文献

Regulated secretory cells have two pathways that transport secreted proteins from the Golgi complex to the cell surface. To identify carrier vesicles involved in regulated and constitutive secretion, PC12 pheochromocytoma cells were labeled with [35S]sulfate to identify markers for the two secretory pathways, then mechanically permeabilized and incubated in vitro. Small constitutive secretory vesicles, containing mostly sulfated proteoglycans, accumulated during an in vitro incubation with ATP. In the presence of GTP gamma S, the constitutive vesicles became significantly more dense, suggesting that a coated intermediate was stabilized. Larger immature regulated secretory granules, enriched in sulfated secretogranin II, also escaped from the permeabilized cells in vitro. During granule maturation, their density increased and the amount of cofractionating proteoglycans diminished. The data suggest that sorting continues during secretory granule maturation. 相似文献

Summary The effect of a low calcium diet on the ultrastructure of the parathyroid gland in the chick was examined. Two-week-old White Leghorn chicks were fed a low calcium diet (calcium content 0.63%) for two weeks. In these chicks, the parathyroid glands are grossly enlarged. Hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the chief cells are evident. The plasma membranes between adjacent cells are relatively straight but interdigitate in some places. Chief cells contain occasional membrane-limited secretory granules (150–350 m in diameter) and with contents of variable electron density. Secretory granules are distributed randomly but some are closely applied to the plasma membrane. There is an increase in the development of the rough-surfaced endoplasmic reticulum. The Golgi complex is enlarged and consists of cisternae arranged in concentric layers, smooth-surfaced and coated vesicles and condensing vacuoles. Dilatations of the cisternae at several points are observed. Mitochondria and filaments are also encountered. These morphological features suggest that low calcium intake stimulates the synthetic activity of the chief cells of the chick parathyroid. 相似文献
