《The Journal of cell biology》1988,107(6):2757-2767
The distribution of the extracellular matrix glycoprotein, tenascin, in normal skin and healing skin wounds in rats, has been investigated by immunohistochemistry. In normal skin, tenascin was sparsely distributed, predominantly in association with basement membranes. In wounds, there was a marked increase in the expression of tenascin at the wound edge in all levels of the skin. There was also particularly strong tenascin staining at the dermal-epidermal junction beneath migrating, proliferating epidermis. Tenascin was present throughout the matrix of the granulation tissue, which filled full-thickness wounds, but was not detectable in the scar after wound contraction was complete. The distribution of tenascin was spatially and temporally different from that of fibronectin, and tenascin appeared before laminin beneath migrating epidermis. Tenascin was not entirely codistributed with myofibroblasts, the contractile wound fibroblasts. In EM studies of wounds, tenascin was localized in the basal lamina at the dermal-epidermal junction, as well as in the extracellular matrix of the adjacent dermal stroma, where it was either distributed homogeneously or bound to the surface of collagen fibers. In cultured skin explants, in which epidermis migrated over the cut edge of the dermis, tenascin, but not fibronectin, appeared in the dermis underlying the migrating epithelium. This demonstrates that migrating, proliferating epidermis induces the production of tenascin. The results presented here suggest that tenascin is important in wound healing and is subject to quite different regulatory mechanisms than is fibronectin.  相似文献

The production of extracellular matrix components such as laminin, Type IV collagen, fibronectin, and tenascin during the formation of basement membrane in cultured epidermis-dermis recombinant skin of 13-day-old chick embryo was analyzed immunohistochemically. The epidermis and dermis were separated from each other by treatment with EDTA and/or dispase. The basal lamina of the basement membrane was thus removed from both epidermis and dermis. The isolated epidermis was overlaid onto the isolated dermis, i.e., recombined, and then cultured for 1-7 days in a chemically defined medium (BGJb) on a Millipore filter. Immunofluorescence labeling was used for light microscopy and HRP or colloidal gold labeling for electron microscopy. In specimens from 2-day cultures, positive sites of anti-laminin and anti-fibronectin reaction were observed light microscopically as patches which, at the electron microscopic level, corresponded to fragments of the basal lamina located immediately beneath and in the vicinity of the attachment plaques of the hemidesmosomes. The staining pattern became continuous 7 days after recombination. Fluorescence labeling of laminin and fibronectin appeared somewhat earlier than that of Type IV collagen and tenascin. All of the four components were found localized primarily in the basal lamina. Furthermore, fibronectin and tenascin were also distributed in the extracellular matrix of the dermis. The expression of tenascin, which does not exist in the basement membrane of 13-day-old intact embryonic skin, was induced in vitro. These results suggest that hemidesmosomes may play an important role in the reconstruction of the basement membrane and that various components of the basement membrane appeared at different times during the reconstruction.  相似文献

Tenascin is an extra cellular matrix glycoprotein which is distributed in the mesenchyme surrounding various organs during embryogenesis. It has also been demonstrated in some normal adult tissues and in the matrix of human tumours. The present study has been carried out to analyse the distribution of tenascin in non malignant and malignant skin disorders, in squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck, in squamous cell carcinoma xenografts and in a squamous cell carcinoma cell line grown on collagen gel. Immunohistochemical localisation of tenascin was performed, using a monoclonal antibody specific for tenascin, by the indirect immunoperoxidase method with silver enhancement. Tenascin was heterogeneously distributed in the extra cellular matrix of squamous cell carcinomas and in squamous cell carcinoma xenografts. It was absent in basal cell carcinoma and in the squamous cell carcinoma cell line grown on collagen gel. The distribution of tenascin in squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma is discussed in relation to tumour invasion and differentiation.  相似文献

Distribution of the extracellular matrix glycoprotein tenascin during wound healing in mouse skin was studied immunohistochemically. Within 24 hours after wounding, and preceding the formation of granulation tissue, tenascin appeared in the basement membranes beneath epidermis and hair follicles adjacent to the wound edges and in the wounded edges of cutaneous muscle layer. Granulation tissue began to form in the wound space at about 1-2 days and was immediately covered by epidermis. Tenascin first appeared in the periphery of the granulation tissue beneath healing epidermis and around the wounded edges of cutaneous muscle layer. Then the tenascin-positive area extended into the inner region of granulation tissue. At about 5-7 days, all of the granulation tissue was intensely stained with anti-tenascin serum. Tenascin immunoreactivity decreased as granulation tissue was replaced with reconstructed dermal tissue at 7-14 days. In most cases, tenascin staining persisted longest in the dermis beneath the healing epidermis and at the juncture of healing edges of cutaneous muscle layer. It disappeared at about 10-14 days after wounding. These findings suggest that tenascin may play an important role in the seaming of wounded tissues.  相似文献

 Tenascin is a large extracellular matrix glycoprotein which is found in limited regions of normal adult tissues including the skin. We investigated the induction of tenascin expression in mouse skin during hapten-induced dermatitis. In the dorsal skin, hapten application first induced a transient expression of tenascin in deeper regions of the skin. Its distribution then spread over the whole dermis corresponding to the infiltration of Mac-2-positive macrophages. In the ear, tenascin was consistently found in the subcutaneous tissue on the inner side, but very little was seen on the outer side. Tenascin did appear transiently, however, on both sides under hapten treatment. In the early phase of allergic contact dermatitis, no apparent induction of tenascin expression was observed in the swollen ear. However, there was an abundant tenascin expression on both sides during healing. Tenascin expressed under normal conditions was mostly the 180-kDa isoform, while the 230-kDa isoform was markedly induced during healing of the dermatitis. These results suggest that tenascin, particularly the larger 230-kDa isoform, may play important roles in the pathogenesis and healing of hapten-induced dermatitis. Accepted: 1 April 1996  相似文献

Collagen types I, III, and V in human embryonic and fetal skin   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
The dermis of human skin develops embryonically from lateral plate mesoderm and is established in an adult-like pattern by the end of the first trimester of gestation. In this study the structure, biochemistry, and immunocytochemistry of collagenous matrix in embryonic and fetal dermis during the period of 5 to 26 weeks of gestation was investigated. The dermis at five weeks contains fine, individual collagen fibrils draped over the surfaces of mesenchymal cells. With increasing age, collagen matrix increases in abundance in the extracellular space. The size of fibril diameters increases, and greater numbers of fibrils associate into fiber bundles. By 15 weeks, papillary and reticular regions are recognized. Larger-diameter fibrils, larger fibers, denser accumulations of collagen, and fewer cells distinguish the deeper reticular region from the finer, more cellular papillary region located beneath the epidermis. The distribution of collagen types I, III, and V were studied at the light microscope level by immunoperoxidase staining and at the ultrastructural level by transmission (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with immunogold labeling. By immunoperoxidase, types I and III were found to be evenly distributed, regardless of fetal age, throughout the dermal and subdermal connective tissue with an intensification of staining at the dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ). Staining for types III and V collagen was concentrated around blood vessels. Type V collagen was also localized in basal and periderm cells of the epidermis. By immuno-SEM, types I and III were found associated with collagen fibrils, and type V was localized to dermal cell surfaces and to a more limited extent with fibrils. The results of biochemical analyses for relative amounts of types I, III, and V collagen in fetal skin extracts were consistent with immunoperoxidase data. Type I collagen was 70-75%, type III collagen was 18-21%, and type V was 6-8% of the total of these collagens at all gestational ages tested, compared to 85-90% type I, 8-11% type III, and 2-4% type V in adult skin. The enrichment of both types III and V collagen in fetal skin may reflect in part the proportion of vessel- and nerve-associated collagen versus dermal fibrillar collagen. The accumulation of dermal fibrillar collagen with increasing age would enhance the estimated proportion of type I collagen, even though the ratios of type III to I in dermal collagen fibrils may be similar at all ages.  相似文献

Morphogenesis of the anterior metatarsal skin (scutate scale region), from 9.5 to 12 days of development, results in the formation of orderly patterned scale ridges. It is after the initial formation of the Definitive Scale Ridge that the characteristic outer and inner epidermal surfaces differentiate. The hard, plate-like beta stratum, with its unique beta keratins, characterizes the epidermis of the outer surface, while the epidermis of the inner surface elaborates an alpha stratum. The anterior metatarsal region of the scaleless mutant does not undergo scale morphogenesis. Therefore, scale ridges do not form nor do the outer and inner epidermal surfaces with their characteristic beta and alpha strata. We have found that the extracellular matrix molecule, tenascin, first appears in the scutate scale dermis at 12 days of development when the scale ridge is established. Tenascin is found in the dermis only under the scale ridge and is not associated with the dermal-epidermal junction. Tenascin is not found in scaleless anterior metatarsal dermis at this time. As outgrowth of the Definitive Scale Ridge takes place, tenascin distribution correlates closely with the formation of the outer epidermal surface of each scale ridge. By 16 days of development tenascin is also found in close association with the dermal-epidermal junction. Tenascin does not appear in scaleless anterior metatarsal dermis until 16 days of development and then it is randomly and sparsely distributed at the dermal-epidermal junction. Tenascin's initial appearance and pattern of distribution in the scutate scale dermis and its abnormal expression in the scaleless dermis suggest that morphogenesis plays a significant role in regulation of its expression.  相似文献

Summary The distribution of several extracellular matrix macromolecules was investigated at the myotendinous junction of adult chicken gastrocnemius muscle. Localization using monoclonal antibodies specific for 3 basal lamina components (type IV collagen, laminin, and a basement membrane form of heparan sulfate proteoglycan) showed strong fluorescent staining of the myotendinous junction for heparan sulfate proteoglycan and laminin, but not for type IV collagen. In addition, a strong fluorescent stain was observed at the myotendinous junction using a monoclonal antibody against the subunit of the chicken integrin complex (antibody JG 22). Neither fibronectin nor tenascin were concentrated at the myotendinous junction, but instead were present in a fibrillar staining pattern throughout the connective tissue which was closely associated with the myotendinous junction. Tenascin also gave bright fluorescent staining of tendon, but no detectable staining of the perimysium or endomysium. Type I collagen was observed throughout the tendon and in the perimysium, but only faintly in the endomysium. In contrast, type III collagen was present brightly in the endomysium and in the perimysium, but could not be detected in the tendon except when associated with blood vessels and in the epitendineum, which stained intensely. Type VI collagen was found throughout the tendon and in all connective tissue partitions of skeletal muscle. The results indicate that one or more molecules of the integrin family may play an important role in the attachment of muscle to the tendon. This interaction does not appear to involve extensive binding to fibronectin or tenascin, but may involve laminin and heparan sulfate proteoglycan.  相似文献

Laminin-5 (previously known as kalinin, epiligrin, and nicein) is an adhesive protein localized to the anchoring filaments within the lamina lucida space of the basement membrane zone lying between the epidermis and dermis of human skin. Anchoring filaments are structures within the lamina lucida and lie immediately beneath the hemidesmosomes of the overlying basal keratinocytes apposed to the basement membrane zone. Human keratinocytes synthesize and deposit laminin-5. Laminin-5 is present at the wound edge during reepithelialization. In this study, we demonstrate that laminin-5, a powerful matrix attachment factor for keratinocytes, inhibits human keratinocyte migration. We found that the inhibitory effect of laminin-5 on keratinocyte motility can be reversed by blocking the α3 integrin receptor. Laminin-5 inhibits keratinocyte motility driven by a collagen matrix in a concentration-dependent fashion. Using antisense oligonucleotides to the α3 chain of laminin-5 and an antibody that inhibits the cell binding function of secreted laminin-5, we demonstrated that the endogenous laminin-5 secreted by the keratinocyte also inhibits the keratinocyte's own migration on matrix. These findings explain the hypermotility that characterizes keratinocytes from patients who have forms of junctional epidermolysis bullosa associated with defects in one of the genes encoding for laminin-5 chains, resulting in low expression and/or functional inadequacy of laminin-5 in these patients. These studies also suggest that during reepithelialization of human skin wounds, the secreted laminin-5 stabilizes the migrating keratinocyte to establish the new basement membrane zone.  相似文献

The tissue distribution of the extracellular matrix glycoprotein, tenascin, during cartilage and bone development in rodents has been investigated by immunohistochemistry. Tenascin was present in condensing mesenchyme of cartilage anlagen, but not in the surrounding mesenchyme. In fully differentiated cartilages, tenascin was only present in the perichondrium. In bones that form by endochondral ossification, tenascin reappeared around the osteogenic cells invading the cartilage model. Tenascin was also present in the condensing mesenchyme of developing bones that form by intramembranous ossification and later was present around the spicules of forming bone. Tenascin was absent from mature bone matrix but persisted on periosteal and endosteal surfaces. Immunofluorescent staining of wing bud cultures from chick embryos showed large amounts of tenascin in the forming cartilage nodules. Cultures grown on a substrate of tenascin produced more cartilage nodules than cultures grown on tissue culture plastic. Tenascin in the culture medium inhibited the attachment of wing bud cells to fibronectin-coated substrates. We propose that tenascin plays an important role in chondrogenesis by modulating fibronectin-cell interactions and causing cell rounding and condensation.  相似文献

Summary The distribution of collagen types I, III, IV, and of fibronectin has been studied in the human dermis by light and electron-microscopic immunocytochemistry, using affinity purified primary antibodies and tetramethylrhodamine isothiocyanate-conjugated secondary antibodies. Type I collagen was present in all collagen fibers of both papillary and reticular dermis, but collagen fibrils, which could be resolved as discrete entities, were labeled with different intensity. Type III collagen codistributed with type I in the collagen fibers, besides being concentrated around blood vessels and skin appendages. Coexistence of type I and type III collagens in the collagen fibrils of the whole dermis was confirmed by ultrastructural double-labelling experiments using colloidal immunogold as a probe. Type IV collagen was detected in all basement membranes. Fibronectin was distributed in patches among collagen fibers and was associated with all basement membranes, while a weaker positive reaction was observed in collagen fibers. Ageing caused the thinning of collagen fibers, chiefly in the recticular dermis. The labeling pattern of both type I and III collagens did not change in skin samples from patients of up to 79 years of age, but immunoreactivity for type III collagen increased in comparison to younger skins. A loss of fibronectin, likely related to the decreased morphogenetic activity of tissues, was observed with age.  相似文献

The ultrastructure of the 51/2–6-day-old embryonic asteroid basal lamina (BL) was studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and after treatment with anionic dyes. Conventional fixation in glutaraldehyde and osmium reveals a BL consisting of a lamina densa separated from the basal cell surface by a lamina lucida. Little or no reticular lamina is present. Material similar in appearance to the basal lamina extends into the blastocoel, forming an extracellular matrix (ECM). Following fixation in the presence of the dye ruthenium red, proteoglycan (PG) granules are visible in the lamina lucida and immediately beneath the lamina densa. The ECM consists of granules of a similar appearance, which are associated with fibers of an intermediate electron density resembling invertebrate collagen. After fixation in the presence of alcian blue under polyanionic conditions, all aspects of the basal lamina and the ECM stain very densely. The use of alcian blue in 0.3 M MgCl2 (monoanionic condition) or in low concentrations reveals a lamina densa consisting of a fine feltwork and tubule-like structures. A meshwork composed of thick, densely stained and thinner, intermediately stained strands is embedded in the inner aspect (that adjacent to the blastocoel) of the ectodermal lamina densa. Similar elements are present in the endodermal BL, but the dense material is represented by short regions that do not form a meshwork. The dense and intermediate strands of both basal laminae also extend into the blastocoel as ECM. The tubule-like structures extend from the dense material of the inner meshwork into the lamina densa. They also cross both the lamina densa and lucida to associatee with the basal cell membranes. The fact that the basal cell surfaces are often puckered outward at the points of contact suggests that this configuration might be providing a means whereby forces can be transferred from the ECM through the basal lamina to the cells.  相似文献

Summary The distribution patterns of extracellular matrix elements were determined to ascertain whether they play a role in the localization of lymphocytes in discrete T-cell, B-cell and dome antigen-processing domains within Peyer's patches. Antibodies against collagen types I, III and IV, laminin and fibronectin were applied to cryosections of mouse Peyer's patches and localized by direct or indirect immunoperoxidase methods. T-cell domains were identified with a monoclonal antibody against Thy-1.2. Labeled reticular fibers in distinctive patterns were more numerous in parafollicular and dome areas than within follicles. Germinal centers contained few such fibers. In parafollicular areas, fibers were oriented predominantly toward follicle domes; their distribution corresponded to T-cell zones and lymphocyte traffic areas, with their orientation being parallel to the migration pathways of lymphocytes from high endothelial venules to the antigen-processing domes. Subepithelial and subendothelial basal laminae were immunopositive for type-IV collagen, laminin and fibronectin. The dome subepithelial basal lamina had pore-like discontinuities through which lymphocytes migrated to and from the epithelium. The correspondence of the distribution patterns of extracellular matrix to specific functional domains of Peyer's patches suggests that this matrix provides a structural framework for lymphocyte migration and localization.  相似文献

We report here the purification of tenascin, an extracellular matrix molecule involved in the control of morphogenesis, from the conditioned medium of the Xenopus XTC cell line. Tenascin was purified by affinity chromatography on a column of the monoclonal antibody mAb TnM1; the molecule eluted from this column has a relative molecular mass of 210 kDa after reduction. Electrophoretic analysis under non-reducing conditions shows that the purified components are oligomeric disulfide-linked complexes which barely enter a 4% polyacrylamide gel. Upon rotary shadowing these molecules appear to possess a central globular domain to which pairs or triplets of arms are attached. Polyclonal antibodies have been raised against purified Xenopus tenascin. They recognise specifically the antigen on Western blots of XTC conditioned medium and adult brain, by immunofluorescence, these antibodies reveal large amounts of tenascin in the secretory vesicles as well as in the extracellular matrix of XTC cells. In the Xenopus tadpole, they stain the developing cartilage, the basal lamina of skin epidermis, myotendinous ligaments and restricted regions of the central nervous system.  相似文献

We studied the ultrastructural distribution of fibronectin in the smooth muscle layer of mouse small intestine with affinity-purified antibodies using the immunogold technique. Fibronectin was present over the pericellular area extending from the cell membrane to the extracellular matrix beyond the basal lamina. Distribution of the glycoprotein over the pericellular area was heterogeneous, i.e., it was localized more abundantly in the narrow space between smooth muscle cells, the gaps having a width of 60-80 nm where the two dense bands in adjacent cells matched each other. Such localization suggests that fibronectin contributes to cell adhesion. Within the basement membrane, gold label was localized both in lamina lucida and lamina densa, more densely in the latter than in the former. Fibronectin was also co-distributed with collagen fibers in the extracellular matrix. Within smooth muscle cells, gold particles were observed on rough endoplasmic reticulum and secretory vesicle-like structures. These results suggest that smooth muscle cells synthesize fibronectin and secrete it as a component of the basal lamina and extracellular matrix.  相似文献

The localization of the extracellular matrix recognition molecule J1/tenascin was investigated in the crypt-villus unit of the adult mouse ileum by immunoelectron microscopic techniques. In the villus region, J1/tenascin was detected strongly in the extracellular matrix (ECM) between fibroblasts of the lamina propria. It was generally absent in the ECM at the interface between subepithelial fibroblasts and intestinal epithelium, except for some restricted areas along the epithelial basal lamina of villi, but not of crypts. These restricted areas corresponded approximately to the basal part of one epithelial cell. In J1/tenascin-positive areas, epithelial cells contacted the basal lamina with numerous microvillus-like processes, whereas in J1/tenascin-negative areas the basal surface membranes of epithelial cells contacted their basal lamina in a smooth and continuous apposition. In order to characterize the functional role of J1/tenascin in the interaction between epithelial cells and ECM, the intestinal epithelial cell line HT-29 was tested for its ability to adhere to different ECM components. Cells adhered to substratum-immobilized fibronectin, laminin and collagen types I to IV, but not to J1/tenascin. When laminin or collagen types I to IV were mixed with J1/tenascin, cell adhesion was as effective as without J1/tenascin. However, adhesion was completely abolished when cells were offered a mixture of fibronectin and J1/tenascin as substratum. The ability of J1/tenascin to reduce the adhesion of intestinal epithelial cells to their fibronectin-containing basal lamina suggests that J1/tenascin may be involved in the process of physiological cell shedding from the villus.  相似文献

Tendon organs from leg and forearm muscles of white leghorn chickens were examined with a library of monoclonal antibodies to determine the composition of their connective-tissue framework and the types of connective-tissue macromolecules that occur at the sites where muscle fibers attach to the receptors. The capsules of the tendon organs were positive for connective-tissue macromolecules typical of basal lamina (collagen type IV, laminin, and heparin sulfate proteoglycan) and for tenascin, collagen types III and VI, and fibronectin. Connective-tissue bundles in the lumen of a receptor reacted primarily with antibodies against collagen type I and 4-chondroitin sulfate. The narrow partitions that divide each lumen into compartments stained for collagen type III. Toward its tendinous end, a receptor made few contacts with muscle fibers. Instead, the capsule and the collagenous bundles blended gradually with the intermuscular portions of tendons. At the muscular end, the connections were more complex. Muscle fibers that attached in series to tendon organs split to produce basal lamina-covered, finger-like extensions, which were separated from each other by fissures. Tongues of connective tissue containing tenascin, collagen types I and VI, and fibronectin extended into the fissures. Distally the tongues were continuous with the tenascin in the capsule and just internal to the capsule, fibronectin and basal lamina macromolecules in the capsule, and collagen type I in the collagenous bundles. The uninterrupted presence of these macromolecules around terminating muscle fibers and in the capsule and/or the intraluminal collagen bundles suggests that muscle fibers that attach in series at the muscular end exert a force during muscular contraction on the intraluminal collagen bundles and on the receptor capsule.  相似文献

The basal lamina of the embryonic submandibular epithelium is a dynamic compartment of the extracellular matrix required for branching morphogenesis. A transmission electron microscopy (TEM) structural analysis of the basal lamina, at a time of intense branching activity, was conducted, comparing standard glutaraldehyde-fixed preparations with ones that included tannic acid in the primary fixative, and comparing anionic site resolution and distribution with two cationic probes, ruthenium red (RR) and polyethyleneimine (PEI). Standard TEM revealed a conventional basal lamina structure, with a lamina densa, a lamina lucida interna and a lamina lucida externa. Fine filaments emanated from the lamina densa, traversing both lamina lucidae. Tannic acid revealed approximately 35 nm diameter electron-dense particles in the lamina densa with a spacing repeat of approximately 45 nm. Basal lamina anionic sites were resolved as approximately 26 nm diameter RR-particles and approximately 50 nm diameter PEI-particles, present in the lamina lucida interna and associated with the lamina lucida externa. RR-particle linear spacing was 70 nm in the externa and 50 nm in the interna, while the PEI-particle spacing repeat was 90 nm in both compartments. Binding of both probes was blocked by testicular hyaluronidase or chondroitinase treatment, a result suggesting that the anionic sites were chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan, hyaluronic acid, or both. The greater particle spacing observed with PEI was not simply a physical limitation resulting from the average PEI particle diameter being almost twice that of RR particles, since PEI-resolved anionic sites on interstitial collagen were much more closely spaced (approximately 60 nm) than RR-resolved sites (approximately 105 nm).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Sterilization is an important step in the preparation of biological material for transplantation. The aim of the study is to compare morphological changes in three types of biological tissues induced by different doses of gamma and electron beam radiation. Frozen biological tissues (porcine skin xenografts, human skin allografts and human amnion) were irradiated with different doses of gamma rays (12.5, 25, 35, 50 kGy) and electron beam (15, 25, 50 kGy). Not irradiated specimens served as controls. The tissue samples were then thawn and fixed in 10 % formalin, processed by routine paraffin technique and stained with hematoxylin and eosin, alcian blue at pH 2.5, orcein, periodic acid Schiff reaction, phosphotungstic acid hematoxylin, Sirius red and silver impregnation. The staining with hematoxylin and eosin showed vacuolar cytoplasmic changes of epidermal cells mainly in the samples of xenografts irradiated by the lowest doses of gamma and electron beam radiation. The staining with orcein revealed damage of fine elastic fibers in the xenograft dermis at the dose of 25 kGy of both radiation types. Disintegration of epithelial basement membrane, especially in the xenografts, was induced by the dose of 15 kGy of electron beam radiation. The silver impregnation disclosed nuclear chromatin condensation mainly in human amnion at the lowest doses of both radiation types and disintegration of the fine collagen fibers in the papillary dermis induced by the lowest dose of electron beam and by the higher doses of gamma radiation. Irradiation by both, gamma rays and the electron beam, causes similar changes on cells and extracellular matrix, with significant damage of the basement membrane and of the fine and elastic and collagen fibers in the papillary dermis, the last caused already by low dose electron beam radiation.  相似文献

The skin of the pig-tail macaque is basically similar to that of the rhesus monkey and the stump-tail macaque. The epidermis is thin and contains occasional basal melanocytes. The dermis, rich in elastic fibers, is practically free of pigment-containing cells. The upper dermis is highly vascular in the perianal region and sex skin. Cholinesterase-reactive nerve endings are plentiful beneath the friction surfaces of the pes and manus, mucous membranes, and junction of the hairy gluteus and glabrous ischial callosity. Hederiform-like endings are present in the eyelid, pinna, and frontal scalp. Apocrine and eccrine sweat glands occur throughout the hairy skin in a 2–3: 1 ratio. Both types are invested by nerves reactive for acetyl- and butyrylcholinesterase.  相似文献
