To facilitate the purification of rat liver autophagosomes, isolated rat hepatocytes are first incubated for 2 h at 37°C with vinblastine, which induces autophagosome accumulation by blocking the fusion of these organelles with endosomes and lysosomes. The hepatocytes are then electrodisrupted and homogenized, and the various cellular organelles sequentially removed by subcellular fractionation. A brief incubation of the homogenate with the cathepsin C substrate, glycyl-phenylalanine-naphthylamide (GPN), causes rapid osmotic disruption of the lysosomes due to intralysosomal accumulation of GPN cleavage products. Nuclei are removed by differential centrifugation, and the postnuclear supernatant subsequently fractionated on a two-step Nycodenz density gradient. Autophagosomes are recovered in an intermediate density fraction, free from cytosol and mitochondria. The autophagosomes are finally separated from the membranes and vesicles of the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi, endosomes, etc. by sieving through a density gradient of colloidal silica particles (Percoll). The final preparation contains about 95% autophagosomes and 5% amphisomes according to morphological and biochemical criteria. 相似文献

Glycoconjugates were localized by light microscopy with lectin-peroxidase conjugates and by electron microscopy with the periodic acid-thiocarbohydrazide-silver proteinate (PA-TCH-SP) sequence in immunocytochemically or morphologically identified cell types in rat pituitary. Lectin histochemistry demonstrated sialic acid and glycoconjugates with N-glycosidically linked oligosaccharides in gonadotrophs, thyrotrophs, and corticotrophs. Galactose penultimate to sialic acid was observed mostly in gonadotrophs. The terminal galactose-N-acetylgalactosamine disaccharide was detected in a few gonadotrophs and in a moderate number of mammotrophs. Fucose was localized in only corticotrophs with two fucose-binding lectins and in thyrotrophs with another. Several different monosaccharides were seen in glycoconjugates in melanotrophs and in Herring bodies. Melanotrophs displayed heterogeneous staining with fucose-binding lectins. A small number of nonsecretory cells were also visualized in the pars distalis by virtue of their glycogen content. PA-TCH-SP staining revealed complex carbohydrates in secretory granules and some Golgi cisternae in all types of hormone-producing cells in the pars distalis except for the somatotrophs. Melanotrophs of pars intermedia exhibited stained secretory granules and irregular dense bodies containing a stained meshwork. Corticotrophs of the pars distalis lacked the latter bodies, although they form the same glycoprotein precursor hormone as melanotrophs. Lectin conjugates and the PA-TCH-SP sequence stained some groups of secretion granules in Herring bodies, possibly representing vasopressin-containing granules as well as other cell types in the pars nervosa. 相似文献

We wished to determine if phenobarbital (PB)-inducible cytochrome P-450 [P-450(PB)] and autolysosomal membrane antigens could be localized immunocytochemically on the isolation membranes and the limiting membranes of autophagosomes in rat hepatocytes by the post-embedding protein A-gold method. P-450(PB) was maximally induced by PB treatment; then formation of autophagosomes and accumulation of autolysosomes were induced by cessation of PB treatment and by injection of leupeptin, respectively. P-450(PB) was detected neither on the isolation membranes nor on the limiting membranes of autophagosomes and autolysosomes. Autolysosomal membrane antigens, which were localized by the immunogold technique exclusively in post-Golgi compartments such as lysosomes, endosomes, and plasma membrane but were not found in pre-Golgi compartments such as endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and nuclear envelope, were detected in large amounts on the isolation membranes. These results suggest that the isolation membranes originate not from ER membranes but from post-Golgi membranes. We also present direct immunoelectron microscopic evidence that P-450(PB) is indeed degraded in the autolysosomes: when rats were treated with leupeptin, P-450(PB) was detected not only within the autophagosomes but also within the autolysosomes, whereas without leupeptin treatment, P-450(PB) was detectable only within the autophagosomes. 相似文献

Studies by means of quantitative histochemistry and cytochemistry have greatly contributed to the knowledge of metabolic changes in liver parenchymal cells. In the present paper recent work along this line is reviewed with emphasis on three topics, polyploidy as a source of metabolic heterogeneity, proteolysis in the regulation of hepatocyte cell mass and ischemic injury of hepatocytes. In all three fields, accuracy and precision of information obtained by quantitative histochemical means has been greatly enhanced by a thorough knowledge of the mechanisms of histochemical reactions obtained by fundamental work on matrix chemistry, and well-considered application of optical measuring tools and conditions of measurement. These are the principles put forward by van Duijn since the pioneer period of histochemistry and to whom this review is dedicated. 相似文献

Summary Lectin cytochemical analysis was undertaken to examine the distribution of glycoconjugates associated with the short and long photoreceptor cells in the lamprey retina. Concanavalin A bound preferentially to the outer segment region of the short cells. Wheat germ agglutinin bound weakly to both long and short cells. The outer segment regions of the long cells were stained intensely with peanut agglutinin. Pretreatment with neuraminidase to remove sialic acid resulted in decreased binding of wheat germ agglutinin throughout the retina and increased binding of peanut agglutinin to the outer segment region of the short cells and the region of myoid process of the long cells. These results suggest that there is a difference in the distribution of glycoconjugate residues between the long and short cells. A rod-like character of the short cell and a cone-like character of the long are tentatively discussed. Lectin-binding patterns in other retinal regions is also examined. 相似文献

The isolation of a rat alveolar macrophage lectin 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
A lectin in rat alveolar macrophage membranes with a high affinity for binding ligands containing L-fucose and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine has been isolated by affinity chromatography on Fuc-BSA-Sepharose (where Fuc is fucosyl and BSA is bovine serum albumin). The lectin was extracted from rat lung homogenates with Triton X-100, absorbed from the extract onto Fuc-BSA-Sepharose in the presence of Ca2+ and eluted by removal of Ca2+. After a second adsorption to and elution from Fuc-BSA-Sepharose, three protein species were detected electrophoretically in fractions that bind Fuc-BSA. One, which was the mannose/N-acetylglucosamine lectin (Mr = 32,000) found earlier in hepatocytes, was removed by adsorption on anti-lectin IgG-Sepharose. Another (Mr = 46,000) was removed by adsorption to Fuc-BSA-Sepharose and elution with galactose. The remaining lectin (Mr = 180,000) bound fucose and N-acetylglucosamine but not galactose. Binding was maximal between pH 6.5 and 9.0 and dependent on Ca2+. Immunocytological analysis with rabbit anti-lectin IgG and fluorescein-labeled goat anti-rabbit IgG revealed the lectin to be in rat alveolar macrophages and nonparenchymal cells of liver. Thus, the lectin appears to be present in macrophages and is likely involved in receptor-mediated endocytosis. It is distinctly different structurally from the hepatocyte lectin with a similar ligand-binding specificity. 相似文献

Summary The in vivo effects of tunicamycin on the glycosylation of proteoglycans and link protein in rat mandibular condylar chondrocytes were studied by ultrastructural lectin histochemistry. The binding of wheatgerm agglutinin was shown by using anti-lectin antibody followed by protein A-gold complex. In normal rats, wheat-germ agglutinin labeling was restricted to trans cisternae and vacuoles of the Golgi complex, whereas it was observed in neither the cis region of the Golgi complex nor in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. By 3 h after the drug administration, wheat-germ agglutinin binding sites on the disorganized Golgi vacuoles were dramatically reduced in number. At 6 h after the drug administration, the lectin binding sites on the Golgi vacuoles were restored. These results demonstrate that the in vivo use of tunicamycin in combination with histochemical analysis using lectin probes is of significant value for the study of protein glycosylation in chondrocytes of the rat mandibular condyle. 相似文献

The isolation of hormone-sensitive rat hepatocytes by a modified enzymatic technique 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
Hepatocytes that are similar to the perfused liver in glucagon sensitivity can be obtained in a high, reproducible yield by modifications of the well-known enzymatic technique for the preparation of isolated liver cells. The major modifications are: (a) a simple, economic, and temperature-controlled apparatus for the recirculating perfusion of the isolated rat liver; (b) the use of substrate-fortified calcium-free Krebs-Henseleit bicarbonate buffer; and (c) high perfusion rates, which lead to the isolation of hepatocytes with normal ultrastructure and metabolic activities.From 4 × 108 to 5 × 108 cells can be routinely isolated from an 8- to 10-g liver independent of the collagenase preparations applied. The rat liver cells are viable (90–95%) by various criteria including electron microscopy and exclusion of 0.2% trypan blue. When studying various incubation techniques, it was observed that the use of gelatin in the medium is preferred as compared to albumin Fraction V or fatty acid-free albumin which tended to inhibit gluconeogenic rates from various substrates in calcium-free medium. Addition of calcium chloride to the incubation medium strikingly improved gluconeogenesis from lactate. Various procedures for calculating the number of cells corresponding to 1 g wet liver tissue are discussed in detail. 相似文献

Characterization of isolated Fe-loaded rat hepatocytes prepared by collagenase perfusion 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Hepatocytes from livers of rats loaded by Fe-dextran treatment were isolated by an in situ collagenase perfusion technique and evaluated for their biochemical, cytochemical, and morphological characteristics in cell culture. Iron loads 15 times higher than in normal rat liver cells isolated in the same way were retained in the preparations with 40% present as hemosiderin. A simple centrifugation-mathematical approach is described for the calculation of Fe content in the hepatocyte (95%) and reticuloendothelial (5%) fractions in the isolates. The cells were cultured for 22 h without loss of protein synthesis capability or significant changes in cell count, viability, endogenous glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT) or Fe and were morphologically similar in most respects to unloaded (normal) hepatocytes similarly cultured. Studies are in progress to assess the utility of these preparations as a model for Fe mobilization from Fe-loaded animals. 相似文献

Summary The fundic gland of the rat stomach was studied using the low-temperature embedding resin Lowicryl K4M and postembedding staining with lectin/colloidal-gold (CG) conjugates. Intense labeling with Ricinus communis agglutinin I was observed not only in mucous-producing cells but also in parietal cells. In contrast, Helix pomatia agglutinin (HPA) only labeled mucous neck cells and intermediate cells between mucous neck cells and chief cells. The other epithelial cells present in the rat fundic gland showed virtually no reaction with this lectin. Our results indicate that HPA might be a marker lectin of mucous neck cells and their derivatives. The combination of embedding in the hydrophilic resin Lowicryl K4M and postembedding staining with lectin-CG conjugates provided satisfactory staining results, and made it possible to visualize the precise distribution of terminal glycoconjugates in intracellular components as well as on the plasma membrane. 相似文献

Intracellular 5'-nucleotidase involved in membrane circulation in rat hepatocytes is latent, and is protected from inhibition when whole cells are incubated with inhibiting antiserum at 2 degrees C [Stanley, Edwards & Luzio (1980) Biochem. J. 186, 59-69]. These two criteria were used to identify intracellular membrane vesicles containing 5'-nucleotidase on Ficoll density gradients. A sharply defined turbid band containing intracellular 5'-nucleotidase isolated on density gradients was further fractionated by immunoadsorption of plasma-membrane fragments derived from the cell surface of surface-inhibited cells on to an anti-(immunoglobulin G) immunoadsorbent. The resulting non-adsorbed membrane fraction consisted of vesicles of uniform size (approx. 65 nm diam.), but was not identifiable as any known organelle. This fraction could account for approx. 5% of the total cell 5'-nucleotidase activity, and the enzyme activity measured was 55% latent. The fraction had a restricted polypeptide composition but similar phospholipid composition compared with plasma membrane. We suggest that the vesicles observed in this fraction were derived from the endocytic pathway. 相似文献

The delimiting membranes of isolated autophagosomes from rat liver had extremely few transmembrane proteins, as indicated by the paucity of intramembrane particles in freeze-fracture images (about 20 particles/microm2, whereas isolated lysosomes had about 2000 particles/microm2). The autophagosomes also appeared to lack peripheral surface membrane proteins, since attempts to surface-biotinylate intact autophagosomes only yielded biotinylation of proteins from contaminating damaged mitochondria. All the membrane layers of multilamellar autophagosomes were equally particle-poor; the same was true of the autophagosome-forming, sequestering membrane complexes (phagophores). Isolated amphisomes (vacuoles formed by fusion between autophagosomes and endosomes) had more intramembrane particles than the autophagosomes (about 90 particles/microm2), and freeze-fracture images of these organelles frequently showed particle-rich endosomes fusing with particle-poor or particle-free autophagosomes. The appearence of multiple particle clusters suggested that a single autophagic vacuole could undergo multiple fusions with endosomes. Only the outermost membrane of bi- or multilamellar autophagic vacuoles appeared to engage in such fusions. 相似文献
