Summary The distribution and localisation of acid trimetaphosphatase was investigated in developing heterophils and eosinophils from fowl and duck. In the heterophils of both species, trimetaphosphatase activity progressively increased in concentration from a thin peripheral band in the round immature primary granules to a fairly dense uniform reaction product in most of the mature specific spindle-shaped granules. Fowl and duck primary eosinophil granules had a similar distribution of reaction product as heterophils. In duck specific eosinophil granules the crystalline interna or externa, or both regions, contained strong activity whereas in the fowl, the activity of the specific granules was strongly-uniform in appearance. 相似文献

Summary The previously undescribed localization of reaction products of adenosinetriphosphatase and of alkaline phosphatase in eosinophil leukocytes was demonstrated by cytochemical studies of the rat intestine. Alkaline phosphatase reaction product was found only in minimal amounts on the plasma membrane but was distinct on the nuclear membranes and outer compartment of mitochondria but not on the cristae. The Golgi membranes and the endoplasmic reticulum reacted but less intensely. The specific granules showed no alkaline phosphatase activity.The adenosinetriphosphatase reaction, on the other hand, was found on the plasma membrane, vesicular or tubular profiles of the endoplasmic reticulum and on the matrix of the specific granules. The crystalloid of the granules did not show any reaction.Recipient of a postdoctoral fellowship from the muscular distrophy association of Canada. 相似文献

When rabbit peritoneal exudates (97% polymorphonuclear [PMN] leukocytes, 2% mononuclear cells) were fractionated by zonal sedimentation or isopycnic centrifugation, four fractions (A, B, C, and D) were obtained, as reported earlier. "A" consisted largely of PMN azurophil granules, "B" of PMN specific granules, and "D" of membranous elements. The source of the more heterogeneous "C" fraction (containing acid hydrolases) was uncertain. To gain further information on the nature of this fraction, cytochemical tests for acid phosphatase (AcPase) were carried out on the starting cells and on the fractions. In intact PMN, lead phosphate reaction product was found in Golgi complexes, perinuclear cisternae, and some azurophil granules (immature forms or disrupted mature forms) of a few cells. The specifics and the intact azurophils were not reactive. Reaction product was also found within Golgi cisternae, secondary lysosomes, and some of the azurophil granules of mononuclear cells. Observations on the A and B fractions confirmed those in situ regarding the localization of reaction product in disrupted PMN azurophils, its absence from specifics, and the latency of the enzyme activity in intact azurophils. In the C fraction, AcPase was found in three structures (a) Golgi cisternae, (b) dense bodies, and (c) small pleomorphic granules Comparison with the starting cells indicates that the Golgi complexes are probably derived from both PMN leukocytes and mononuclear cells, whereas the remaining elements resemble (in size, shape, and density) secondary lysosomes and azurophil granules of mononuclear cells. The results indicate that the bulk of the cytochemically detectable AcPase present in the C fraction is derived from mononuclear cells, rather than from PMN leukocytes 相似文献

Synopsis Enzyme cytochemical studies have been carried out on eosinophils in the fowl and the duck. Peroxidase was found in all regions of the Golgi apparatus, the rough endoplasmic reticulum and the perinuclear cisternae of the early cells. In fowl eosinophil granules irregular deposits of peroxidase and arylsulphatase final reaction product were found, but the acid phosphatase deposits were even. In the duck in contrast, peroxidase was demonstrated in the external part of the granule only. Acid phosphatase and arylsulphatase were found in both the interna and the externa of the duck eosinophil granules. An ammoniacal silver nitrate reaction for the presence of the histone arginine was also studied. Silver deposits were found occupying all regions of the granules of eosinophils from both species of bird.The presence of the hydrolytic enzymes acid phosphatase and arylsulphatase in avian eosinophil granules supports the theory that these structures are lysosomal in nature and that they correspond with mammalian eosinophils in this respect. 相似文献

Zusammenfassung Die Lokalisation von Peroxydase und saurer Phosphatase während der Reifung eosinophiler Leukocyten im Knochenmark (Ratte, Kaninchen) wurde elektronenmikroskopisch und cytochemisch untersucht. Peroxydase wurde nach Graham and Karnovsky, saure Phosphatase nach Gomori nachgewiesen. Promyelocyten enthalten homogene, azurophile Granula, Myelocyten außerdem kristallhaltige, eosinophile Granula. Beide Granulaarten entstehen nacheinander in kondensierenden Vacuolen, vorwiegend an der distalen Fläche des Golgi-Apparates. Die azurophilen Granula werden wahrscheinlich vom Stadium des Myelocyten an nicht mehr gebildet und daher durch nachfolgende Zellteilungen weitgehend eliminiert. Peroxydase ist in allen Cisternen des rauhen endoplasmatischen Reticulums einschließlich der perinucleären Cisterne, in glattwandigen Bläschen an der Peripherie des Golgi-Komplexes, in allen Cisternen der Golgi-Membranstapel, in kondensierenden Vacuolen und in allen Granula der Promyelocyten und Myelocyten nachweisbar; die kristallhaltigen Granula zeigen Reaktionsprodukt ausschließlich in der Matrix. Vom Metamyelocyten-Stadium an verschwindet die Peroxydase aus Reticulum und Golgi-Apparat und ist in reifen Eosinophilen nur mehr in den Granula vorhanden. Saure Phosphatase zeigt eine gleichartige Verteilung, doch ist die Reaktion sehr variabel und bedeutend schwächer, besonders im Reticulum. Diese Ergebnisse stimmen mit den Befunden überein, die an anderen Zellsystemen für den intrazellulären Transport und die Segregation sekretorischer Proteine erhoben wurden. Bei Eosinophilen sind aber nicht nur kondensierende Vacuolen, sondern auch die Golgi-Cisternen an der Segregation von Proteinen beteiligt.
The localization of peroxidase and acid phosphatase in eosinophil leukocytes during maturationElectron microscopical cytochemical studies on the bone marrow of the rat and rabbit
Summary The localization of peroxidase and acid phosphatase was investigated by electron microscopy and cytochemistry during the maturation of eosinophil leukocytes in the bone marrow of rats and rabbits. Peroxidase was demonstrated by the method of Graham and Karnovsky, acid phosphatase by a modified Gomori procedure. Promyelocytes contain homogeneous azurophil granules, myelocytes in addition crystalline eosinophil granules. Both granules are formed in condensing vacuoles, predominantly at the distal face of the Golgi apparatus. The azurophil granules are probably produced no longer from the myelocyte stage onwards, and are therefore largely eliminated by subsequent cell divisions. Peroxidase is present in all cisternae of the rough endoplasmic reticulum including the perinuclear cisterna, in smooth vesicles at the periphery of the Golgi complex, in all cisternae of the piled Golgi membranes, in condensing vacuoles and in all granules of promyelocytes and myelocytes; crystalline granules contain reaction product only in their matrix. From the metamyelocyte stage onwards, peroxidase disappears from the reticulum and Golgi complex. In mature eosinophils it is present only in granules. Acid phosphatase shows a similar distribution, but the reaction is rather variable and much weaker, especially in the reticulum. These results agree with the findings for the intracellular transport and segregation of secretory proteins obtained on other cell systems. In eosinophils, however, both condensing vacuoles and Golgi cisternae are functioning in the segregation of proteins.相似文献

The localization of acid phosphatase (E.C. 3.1.3.2), inorganic trimetaphosphatase (E.C. 3.6.1.2), and aryl sulfatase (E.C. 3.1.6.1) in the cortex of unactivated and activated eggs of Brachydanio was examined by ultrastructural cytochemistry. Using a lead capture method, activity for all three acid hydrolases was demonstrated in organelles of the cortex before and after egg activation. Acid phosphatase (AcPase) reaction product was consistently present in primary lysosomes, secondary lysosomes, multivesicular bodies, and yolk bodies. AcPase activity was absent from mitochondria, profiles of the endoplasmic reticulum, coated pits of exocytosed cortical granules, and coated vesicles. Although most cortical granules of the mature, unactivated egg were unreactive for this enzyme, a few showed AcPase reaction product. It is not clear whether the AcPase-positive granules might be an immature form of cortical granules or a subpopulation of these organelles with lysosomal properties. Most cisternae of the Golgi apparatus did not stain for AcPase; however, reaction product was occasionally localized in a single cisterna as well as several small vesicles at the inner face of the Golgi. The intensity of the reaction product and the pattern of distribution of trimetaphosphatase (Tm-Pase) activity was very similar to that of AcPase. However, TmPase was never observed in cortical granules. Cortices of unactivated and activated eggs showed less overall aryl sulfatase (ArSase) activity when compared with AcPase and TmPase. The presence of ArSase reaction product in lysosomes and multivesicular bodies confirmed the acid hydrolytic nature of these organelles. AcPase and TmPase, and to a lesser extent ArSase, are adequate markers of a cortical lysosomal system in the danio egg.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Summary Ultrastructural and cytochemical studies have been made on secretory granules of B-cells (fibroblast-like cells) in the knee-joint synovium. The secretory granules were membrane-bounded spherical or slightly elongated bodies, 150 to 350 nm (average 230 nm) in diameter and had a homogenous matrix with several cores. These granules were found in B-cells of all animal species examined; they were numerous in mice and rats, and few in guinea pigs, rabbits and man. Ultrastructural and cytochemical examinations revealed that the Golgi apparatus was involved in the formation of the secretory granules. Unlike lysosomes, they showed no acid phosphatase activity. The granule matrix was positively stained by Thiéiy's periodic acid-thiocarbohydrazidesilver proteinate technique, and the cores were digested by protease. These findings suggest that the granule matrix contains mucopolysaccharide(s) and/or glycoprotein(s) and the core material is largely proteinaceous in nature. 相似文献

The structure of the specific granules of eosinophil leukocytes has been studied by electron microscopy in sections of tissues, buffy coats, and sediments of peritoneal washings of rats, mice, guinea pigs, and men. The core of eosinophil granules is a crystal which has a cubic lattice with a repeat of ~30 A in rodents and ~40 A in man. The chemical composition of the core is discussed in connection with recent cell fractionation studies, and the hypothesis that the core is a crystal of peroxidase is considered. 相似文献

In the previous paper we presented findings which indicated that enzyme heterogeneity exists among PMN leukocyte granules. From histochemical staining of bone marrow smears, we obtained evidence that azurophil and specific granules differ in their enzyme content. Moreover, a given enzyme appeared to be restricted to one of the two types. Clear results were obtained with alkaline phosphatase, but those with a number of other enzymes were suggestive rather than conclusive. Since the approach used previously was indirect, it was of interest to localize the enzymes directly in the granules. Toward this end, we carried out cytochemical procedures for five enzymes on normal rabbit bone marrow cells which had been fixed and incubated in suspension. The localization of reaction product in the granules was determined by electron microscopy. In accordance with the results obtained on smears, azurophil granules were found to contain peroxidase and three lysosomal enzymes: acid phosphatase, arylsulfatase, and 5'-nucleotidase; specific granules were found to contain alkaline phosphate. Specific granules also contained small amounts of phosphatasic activity at acid pH. Another finding was that enzyme activity could not be demonstrated in mature granules with metal salt methods (all except peroxidase); reaction product was seen only in immature granules. The findings confirm and extend those obtained previously, indicating that azurophil granules correspond to lysosomes whereas specific granules represent a different secretory product. 相似文献

The distribution of lysozyme (muramidase) within eosinophil leukocytes situated in the lamina propria of human colon was studied by immunoelectron microscopy using a range of standard techniques. Tissue processed in a variety of glutaraldehyde- or paraformaldehyde-based fixatives was partially dehydrated and embedded in the acrylic resin LR White. Tissue thus treated showed lysozyme in pale cytoplasmic granules and the matrix of specific granules, but not in their crystalloids. Trypsinization of sections had little effect on this result, and tissues fixed in glutaraldehyde and embedded in Araldite showed a low level of reactivity with a similar distribution. After etching LR or Araldite sections with sodium metaperiodate, the pale granules and specific granule matrices became negative for lysozyme and the crystalloids became positive. Because crystalloids also were labeled with normal rabbit immunoglobulin after etching, this apparent redistribution of label could be due to nonspecific binding rather than exposure of masked epitope. 相似文献

As with secretory granules in other cell types, many of the protein components that make up the cytoplasmic granules of human leukocytes are glycoproteins. It is not unexpected, therefore, that lectins specific for various carbohydrate moieties can be localized in these granules following appropriate protocols for specimen preparation and thin-section labeling. In this study, isolated human eosinophils and neutrophils were prepared for lectin-gold electron microscopic localization by procedures that involve no exposure to aqueous fixatives, buffers, or solvents (rapid cryofixation and molecular distillation drying), thus removing the potential problem of constituent extraction or translocation during so-called "wet chemical" processing. In contrast to other reports, data presented illustrate the specific binding of soybean agglutinin (SBA) to eosinophil granule matrices (not the crystalline cores), as well as to a population of granules in neutrophils. A similar labeling pattern for wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) was also seen, confirming the presence of N-acetyl-D-galactosamine and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in eosinophil and neutrophil granule matrices. These studies emphasize the need for carefully designed specimen preparation as well as subsequent thin-section labeling procedures in lectinocytochemical studies. 相似文献

The use of H2PtCl6 is proposed for the selective visualization of the poly-DAB reaction product created, in aldehyde-fixed tissue, with the cytochemical reaction according to Graham and Karnovsky (1966) or to Hoefsmit (1975). At sites known to contain peroxidatic activity, at the ultrastructural level, an electron-dense reaction product is acquired in otherwise unstained ultrathin sections. The presence of the element platinum in these sites has been demonstrated by X-ray microanalysis, for both the endogenous peroxidase and peroxidase conjugated to antibodies. The absolute platinum concentration has been established in erythrocytes and the granules in eosinophils and monocytes by co-embedded, Pt-containing Chelex ion-exchange beads next to the cells. By the application of the method of integrated morphometrical and chemical analysis (de Bruijn and Zeelen 1984; de Bruijn 1985; de Bruijn and Cleton 1985), both the elemental concentration and the area occupied have been calculated for eosinophil granules. The mean Pt net-intensity values of the cytoplasmic areas, known not to contain the enzyme peroxidase has been measured, and compared to the mean net-intensity Pt values of the granules. It was noted that the cytoplasmic Pt net-intensity values were not zero. The two sets of values are expressed as a mean Pt granule/cytoplasm ratio, this ratio creates a value for the "selectivity" of the reaction. The application of a postfixation reaction with OsO4- containing media, at pH 7.4, in addition to the H2PtCl6 reaction, resulted in a contrasted poly-DAB reaction product at all sites known to contain peroxidatic activity. However, X-ray microanalysis revealed that in addition to platinum, osmium was present.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Air-dried rabbit blood was stained by HE, PAS and a modification of the Undritz II method. Eosin stained granules red in the eosinophil leukocytes. PAS was negative and the modified Undritz method failed to give consistent results. Cells with eosinophilic granules appeared in the corneal stroma 1 h after removing the corneal epithelium. They were stained red consistently by both eosin and the modified Undritz II method. Electron micrographs failed to demonstrate crystalloids in the granules. Because of the staining characteristics and the lack of crystalloids in their granules these cells were classified as pseudoeosinophil leukocytes. The electron micrographs showed some glycogen 12 h after denuding the cornea, however, glycogen was not well stained by PAS until 18 h after denuding. 相似文献

During their differentiation in the bone marrow, eosinophilic leukocytes synthesize a number of enzymes and package them into secretory granules. The pathway by which three enzymes (peroxidase, acid phosphatase, and arylsulfatase) are segregated and packaged into specific granules of eosinophils was investigated by cytochemistry and electron microscopy. During the myelocyte stage, peroxidase is present within (a) all rough ER cisternae, including transitional elements and the perinuclear cisterna; (b) clusters of smooth vesicles at the periphery of the Golgi complex; (c) all Golgi cisternae; and (d) all immature and mature specific granules. At later stages, after granule formation has ceased, peroxidase is not seen in ER or Golgi elements and is demonstrable only in granules. The distribution of acid phosphatase and arylsulfatase was similar, except that the reaction was more variable and fully condensed (mature) granules were not reactive. These results are in accord with the general pathway for intracellular transport of secretory proteins demonstrated in the pancreas exocrine cell by Palade and coworkers. The findings also demonstrate (a) that in the eosinophil the stacked Golgi cisternae participate in the segregation of secretory proteins and (b) that the entire rough ER and all the Golgi cisternae are involved in the simultaneous segregation and packaging of several proteins. 相似文献

Persistent elevations of cAMP levels are generally accompanied by an inhibition of granulocyte functions. Phosphodiesterases play a critical role in regulating intracellular levels of cAMP. The expression of three isoforms of type 4 cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase (PDE4) in neutrophils suggests diversity of isoform localization and targeting in regulating cell function. The sites of cAMP regulation in granulocytes by the PDE4A isoform were investigated by immunoelectron microscopy. PDE4A was localized uniformly in all granule classes of eosinophils, but was restricted in neutrophils to a subset of myeloperoxidase (MPO)-containing granules that were round or elongated with a central crystalloid core. Granulocytes were stimulated with fMLP to investigate the sites of PDE4A targeting during cell activation. In neutrophils, fMLP induced a rapid (1 min) translocation of granules containing PDE4A to the plasmalemma, where some PDE4A and MPO were exocytosed. In these cells, PDE4A labeling within granules was focal and no longer homogeneous. While immunogold labeling of PDE4A was reduced after fMLP stimulation, staining of MPO-containing granules remained high. Extracellular release of PDE4A was also observed in eosinophils stimulated with fMLP. Morphometry revealed that Au labeling was significantly reduced within 1 min, and that there was a shift in PDE4A localization within eosinophil granules from the crystalline core to the matrix. Fluctuations of cAMP levels and ectoprotein kinase activity with PKA properties occur in blood under normal and pathological conditions. The exclusive localization of PDE4A within granules of neutrophils and eosinophils suggests that PDE4A may function to downregulate cAMP signaling at the cell membrane and/or in the extracellular space at the time of granule release. 相似文献

The ultrastructure of eosinophil granules from various aquatic and terrestrial birds has been described. Granules of three basic types were found. The first had a crystalline internum and was found only in the order Anseriformes, which included the black-necked screamer, ducks, geese and swans. The crystals occurred in three morphological forms. The second and least common granule examined contained a non-crystalline internum which was either homogeneous or composed of microfilaments or microtubules. The largest and most common group of birds had a homogenous granule with no internum shown. Homogeneous granules occurred less frequently than did those with interna. 相似文献

The localization of the guinea pig eosinophil major basic protein (MBP) within the cell was investigated by the use of immunoelectron microscopy and by isolation of the granule crystalloids. First, by immunoperoxidase electron microscopy, we found that the MBP of eosinophil granules is contained within the crystalloid core of the granule. Specific staining of cores was present when rabbit antiserum to MBP was used as the first stage antibody in a double antibody staining procedure, whereas staining was not seen when normal rabbit serum was used as the first stage antibody. Second, crystalloids were isolated from eosinophil granules by disruption in 0.1% Triton X-100 and centrifugation through a cushion of 50% sucrose. Highly purified core preparations yielded essentially a single band when analyzed by electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gels containing 1% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The E1%1cm of the core protein was 26.8 +/- 1.0 (X +/- SEM); the E1%1cm for the MBP was 26.3. The core protein could not be distinguished from the MBP by radioimmunoassay (RIA) and essentially all of the protein in the core preparations could be accounted for as MBP. The results indicate that the MBP is contained in the core of the guinea pig eosinophil granule and that it is probably the only protein present in the core. 相似文献

Human eosinophil peroxidase (EPO) was isolated from granules from granulocytes of a patient with hypereosinophilia. The granules were extracted by means of 0.2 M NaAc, pH 4.0. The purification steps included gel filtration chromatography on Sephadex G-75 superfine and ion-exchange chromatography on CM-Sephadex G-50. The purified protein showed one band on agarose-electrophoresis, a high peroxidase activity, and a 415-nm/280 nm ratio of 1.15. After reduction, EPO showed two bands on SDS-PAGE of m.w. 52,000 and 15,000, respectively. On gel filtration, the unreduced protein had a m.w. of approximately 77,000. Amino acid analyses showed a high content of arginine and aspartic acid. Monospecific antibodies to EPO were prepared in rabbits, and a specific radioimmunoassay was developed. There was an almost linear correlation between the content of EPO measured by the radioimmunoassay and the number of eosinophils in a mixed cell extract from reference material, indicating the eosinophil origin of EPO. The content of EPO was estimated to be 15.0 micrograms/10(6) eosinophils. 相似文献

The eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) is a specific cytotoxic constituent of granules. In this work we demonstrated that ECP has a ribonuclease activity. Purified ECP was resolved by ion exchange chromatography into subfractions, which all showed ribonuclease activity. Another eosinophil granule protein, EPX, identical with eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (EDN) had a 125-fold higher RNase activity than ECP. ECP may exert its cytotoxic effects on parasites and cells because of its extreme basicity alone or it may be internalized and act by degrading mRNA. 相似文献

Starfish oocytes were examined before fertilization, immediately after insemination, and during the cortical reaction by means of acid phosphatase and ruthenium red ultrastructural histochemistry. Oocyte cortical granules are composed of a lamellar body and a surrounding matrix which is subdivided into dense and light portions. In unfertilized oocytes cortical granules are not stained by ruthenium red but show a weak acid phosphatase activity in the light portion of the granule matrix. Immediately after the adhesion of the spermatozoon to the oocyte jelly coat, the light matrix portion of cortical granules appears stained by ruthenium red and shows a strong acid phosphatase activity. During the cortical reaction, cortical granules are released into the perivitelline space and the lamellar body, surrounded by the stained matrix, fuses with the fertilization envelope. Our data suggest that membrane permeability changes and enzyme activation occur in the egg when the spermatozoon binds to the oocyte jelly coat. 相似文献
