Previous studies performed on different species have shown that these cells could be recognized by their morphologic and immuno-histological features. In early stages, these cells are able to take up and decarboxylate amine precursors. Therefore the aim of the present work was to determine if this uptake could be correlated with ultrastructural modifications. A processing technique allowing amine detection and correlative ultrastructural examination was used. Rabbit foetuses 13, 14, 17 and 21 day old were studied. The gastro-intestinal tracts of L-DOPA treated or untreated foetuses were removed in a glutaraldehyde-formaldehyde mixture and embedded in epoxy-resin. Semi-thin sections allowed to locate fluorescent cells in U.V light microscopy; adjacent thin sections were observed in electron microscopy. The first green fluorescent cells appeared in the 13 day old foetuses treated with L-DOPA. By this stage, these cells were very scarce and appeared poorly differentiated in electron microscopy. Between the 15th and the 18th day, the green fluorescent cells contained only small round granules. By the day 19, orange-yellow cells can be observed in L-DOPA treated and untreated foetuses. These cells possessed characteristic enterochromaffin granules. The green fluorescent cells of 21 day old foetuses, treated with L-DOPA, exhibited various fluorescence intensities correlated with the heterogeneity of the secretory granules. Some foetuses of each stage were treated with Falck's technique. This method gave similar results concerning the chronology of fluorescent cell detection. 相似文献

Summary The endocrine cells in the pancreas of five human fetuses with gestational ages of 18–20 weeks were examined by light and electron microscopy with special regard to argyrophil reactions. B-cells and typical A and D-cells were easily identified electron microscopically on the basis of their typical secretory granules. In the Grimelius argyrophil silver stain, a concentration of silver grains over the less electron dense peripheral mantle of the A-cell secretory granules was observed by electron microscopy. In the Hellerström and Hellman modification of the argyrophil Davenport alcoholic silver stain, silver grains were concentrated over the internal structures of the D-cell secretory granules. With this stain an accumulation of silver grains was also seen at the surface of the A-cell secretory granules. The argyrophil reaction of the A-granules was less pronounced than in the D-cells. In addition to B-cells and A- and D-cells, two other types of endocrine cell were observed by electron microscopy. These cells were argyrophil with the silver impregnation method of Grimelius. The electron microscopic findings at least partly explain the frequent overlapping between the two staining methods observed at the light microscope level.This study was supported by the Swedish Medical Research Council (Project No. 102) 相似文献

We have examined the distribution of calcium-binding proteins (CaBPs) in adult and fetal lungs of Syrian golden hamsters
(Mesocricetus auratus) using immunostaining with confocal laser microscopy and electron microscopy. Single and grouped (neuroepithelial body; NEB)
endocrine cells were distributed from bronchi to alveolar ducts in the adult lung. Serial frozen sections immunostained for
CaBPs in combination with immunostaining for endocrine markers such as calcitonin gene-related peptide, serotonin, PGP9.5,
and synaptophysin revealed that positive immunostaining for calbindin-D28K (CB-D28K) was seen in single endocrine cells and NEBs. However, other so-called EF-hand family CaBPs, parvalbumin and calretinin,
were not detected. Electron microscopically, positive immunoreaction for CB-D28K was mainly in the organelle-free cytoplasmic
matrix of endocrine cells, and partly in nuclei and associated with secretory granules and endoplasmic reticulum. In fetal
developing lungs, endocrine cells appeared first on gestational day 13, and they were positive for all the endocrine markers
used. However, pulmonary endocrine cells were positively immunostained for CB-D28K from gestational days 15 and 16 onward.
In summary, our observations suggest that CB-D28K is a useful marker for endocrine cells of the lung, and CB-D28K could function
as a mediator of endocrine stimulation or calcium homeostasis in pulmonary endocrine cells.

Ontogenetic transition of wound healing pattern in rat skin occurring at the fetal stage 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
Full-thickness excisional wounds were made in the dorsal skin of rat fetuses at day 16 and day 18 of gestation. A small patch of skin surrounding the open wound was cut out, mounted on a plastic ring and incubated in an organ culture system. In the presence of serum, the open wound in the day-16 fetal skin closed within three days of culture. During the wound-closure process, no new structures were formed in the wound space, and no conspicuous changes were noted in the histological architecture of the surrounding skin during culture, indicating that the wound closure may result from a centripetal movement of the surrounding skin only. In contrast, the size of the open wound in the day-18 fetal skin remained almost unchanged for one week, but a thin acellular network spread over the wound space within one day of culture. The predominant component of the network was cross-linked fibrin, as disclosed by scanning electron microscopy and sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by immunoblotting. The network served as a scaffold for the ingrowth of fibroblast-like cells. These stage-dependent differences in fetal wound healing were consistent with an in vivo study showing that the day-16 wound was covered with the surrounding skin itself, whereas the day-18 wound was covered with newly formed epidermis and invaded by inflammatory cells. The present investigation strongly indicates the prenatal occurrence of a fetal-to-adult transition in the wound-healing pattern of rat skin. 相似文献

The skin structure and the plasma cortisol levels of trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, were examined during 7 days of exposure to water of pH 5. By day-4 and-7, the thickness of the epidermis was significantly (P<0.05) less in acid exposed fish than in controls, and degenerative cells were common in the upper epidermal layers. Many epidermal cells exhibited signs of necrosis, and by day-7 many apoptotic cells were also present. Secretory vesicles of high electron density were abundant in the filament cells of the 3–4 outermost layers of epidermis, and intercellular spaces had increased. Mitotic figures occureed throughout the epidermis, with the exception of the outermost cell layer. Mucous cells became elongated after day-1, and later, newly differentiating mucous cells could be seen close to the skin surface, and many mucocytes contained mucosomes of high electron density. Rodlet cells were occasionally seen. Chloride cells appeared similar to those of control fish. Many leucocytes, mainly macrophages and lymphocytes, had penetrated the epidermis via the highly undulating basal lamina, and at day-7, numerous apoptotic lymphocytes were found. In the dermis, melanosomes became dispersed in the cytoplasmic extensions of melanocytes which were present in the epidermis of all acid-exposed fish. Iridocytes were rate after day-4, while fibroblasts were abundant and secreted large amounts of collagen. After 1 day of exposure to acidified water, a significant (P<0.05) elevation of the plasma cortisol level had occurred, but this subsequently declined, and had returned to control values by day-7. The changes in skin structure, however, remained throughout the whole exposure period. 相似文献

Summary The epithelium of the fundic region mucosa of the hind stomach in the Llama guanacoe has been studied using morphological and histochemical methods. Morphology suggests that solute and water absorption may occur in the epithelium of the surface and of the foveolae, although this absorption can not be estimated because of the extensive secretion of the gastric glands. The same cells of the surface and foveolar epithelium show numerous secretory granules. The glands reveal neck cells, chief cells, a large number of oxyntic cells, four types of endocrine cells (A-like, ECL, D and EC), brush cells and wandering cells. PAS and Alcian blue reactions for light microscopy suggest a secretion of neutral and acidic mucosubstances in the surface and foveolar epithelium, of neutral mucosubstances only in the neck cells. Periodic acid-thiocarbohydrazide silver proteinate (PA-TCH-SP) reaction for electron microscopy confirms the presence of neutral mucosubstances within the secretory granules of the surface, foveolar and neck epithelial cells. In all these cells, the reaction product is also evident within sacculi and vesicles of the maturing surface of the Golgi apparatus. A positive PA-TCH-SP reaction also occurs on the membrane (and not on the contents) of the Golgi apparatus (maturing surface) and of the secretory granules of the chief cells as well as on the membrane of the Golgi apparatus and of apical vesicles and tubules of the oxyntic cells. In addition, silver granules slightly enhance the electron density of the contents of the secretory granules in the endocrine cells. Morphological and histochemical findings are discussed and compared with results described by others for monogastric mammals. 相似文献

Summary By light and electron microscopy investigation of the human gastric mucosa five types of ultrastructurally different endocrine cells have been detected: 5-hydroxytryptamine storing enterochromaffin (EC) cells, gastrin storing G cells, and functionally undefined ECL, D and D1 cells. By direct application of Masson's argentaffin reaction as well as of Sevier-Munger's and Grimelius' argyrophil method to electron microscopy specimens, selective deposition of silver grains upon the endocrine granules of such cells was obtained. In particular, only EC cell granules reacted to the argentaffin method, granules of both EC and ECL cells heavily reacted to Sevier-Munger's technique, granules of EC, ECL, G and D1 cells reacted to Grimelius' technique, while D cell granules failed to react either to argentaffin or argyrophil methods. By the application of the same silver methods to paraffin sections as well as by other selective staining methods for endocrine granules (5-hydroxytryptamine techniques, lead-haematoxylin, HCl-basic dye method), at least four of the above cell types were also identified under light microscope. This opens the way for extensive studies of such cells in conventional histologie specimens.This investigation was supported in part by grant N.70.01022.04 from the Italian Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche. 相似文献

The development of the surface specialization of the paraventricular organ (PVO) was studied in the domestic chicken from the 10th embryonic day to the day of hatching by scanning electron microscopy. On the 10th embryonic day, the ventricular surface of the PVO was found to be covered with many oval-shaped processes. On the 12th embryonic day, an additional kind of elongated processes appeared in the dorsal area of the ventricular surface of the organ. From the 16th to 18th embryonic day, such elongated processes were present on the entire ventricular surface of the PVO. At the same stage, the elongated processes in the dorsal portion of the PVO began to form small, meshed networks over the surface of the ependyma. Both the oval-shaped processes and the elongated processes are thought to be dendritic terminals of the PVO neurons. 相似文献

Zinc deficient rat embryos were obtained on the 11th day of pregnancy and examined by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Scanning electron microscopy revealed an increase in the number of deformed embryos, as well as embryonic growth retardation. In addition, the epithelium of zinc deficient embryos displayed a marked increase in surface microvilli, as well as the presence of blebbing. Transmission electron microscopy indicated extensive cell death in the neural epithelium which was apparently more severely damaged by zinc deficiency than were mesenchymal cells. Mitochondrial cristae were affected to a greater degree than any other membrane of the cell and cristael disintigration appeared to represent the principal cellular lesion preceding necrosis of neural cells and neural tube teratology. 相似文献

Production of chimaeric bovine embryos and calves by aggregation of inner cell masses with morulae 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
L Picard I Chartrain W A King K J Betteridge 《Molecular reproduction and development》1990,27(4):295-304
Bovine inner cell masses (ICMs) were isolated by immunosurgery at day 8 or 10, or by dissection at day 14, and combined with day-5.5 morulae. Aggregation was obtained between 89%, 62%, and 0% of the day-5:day-8, day-5:day-10, day-5:day-14 composites, respectively. Chromosome analysis of composites, respectively. Chromosome analysis of composites potentially carrying the 1/29 translocation as a chromosome marker and temporarily transferred to the bovine uterus for 8 days showed that chimaeric day-14 embryos can be obtained from day-5:day-8 aggregation. The definitive transfer of eight day-5:day-8 and 11 day-5:day-10 composites resulted in the birth of six and four calves, respectively; five of the six, but none of the four, were chimaeric. The five chimaeras showed mostly the ICM phenotype. The morphological differences between ICMs at different stages of development were examined by electron microscopy and related to the success of the aggregation technique. It is concluded that bovine embryonic cells can regulate for at least 3 days difference in development but not 5 days even though aggregation is still possible. 相似文献

An oligodendrocyte-like cell population was identified and its kinetic features were studied in primary cultures of mouse brain. Cells from telencephalon and diencephalon of 14-day-old embryos were dissociated before seeding on poly-l-lysine or collagen-coated glass coverslips. After some divisions and migrations, cells differentiated throughout the cultures; round and small overlying cells appeared after the 9th day in vitro. Their morphology, based on light microscopy, after May-Grunwald-Giemsa staining, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy, looked like that of oligodendrocytes. These cells are referred to here as oligodendrocyte-like cells. Their filiation, kinetics, and proliferation were studied by quantitative radioautography. Their density increased from the 9th to the 16th day in vitro. Two groups were found: large and clearly labeled oligodendrocyte-like cells and small dark unlabeled ones which undoubtedly derived from the first. Analogies between our observations in vitro and those carried out in vivo by several experimenters, suggest that in vitro these cells are probably oligodendrocytes. 相似文献

The frog pancreatic epithelium was studied using morphometry, autoradiography and electron microscopy during the treatment with cobalt chloride (10 mg/100 g body wieght). In response to this treatment, generative changes in some exocrine cells were revealed. At the same time, those of cells, whose nuclei were in the state of DNA synthesis, increased in number. Cobalt chloride resulted in endocrine A-cells damage. A compensation of the broken endocrine A-cell function was maintained in a transformation of the exocrine epithelium into endocrine A-cells and in the appearance of intermediate acinar-islet cells, as well as in islet A-cell hyperplasia. 相似文献

By means of the light and electron microscopy methods structural bases of differentiation and contents of endocrine cells of the stomach epithelium have been studied during the white rat pre- and postnatal development. The development of the endocrine epithelial cells occurs in parallel with the exocrinic ones. Endocrine EC-, G-, D-, P-cells are the first to be revealed in composition of the embryonal stomach epithelium, the others--during the early postembryonic period. The differentiation of the endocrine cells is characterized with asynchronism, is accompanied with a gradual development of organells, increasing amount of secretory granules and appearance of polarity in their distribution. By the 30th day of the postnatal development, the amount of the endocrine cells in the stomach epithelium increases by 5 times in comparison to those in the 1-day-old animals, with simultaneous reaching of the high level in specific differentiation. 相似文献

Developing submandibular, trigeminal and superior cervical ganglia, which provide innervation to the submandibular glands, were studied for substance P (SP)-and neurokinin A (NKA)-immunoreactive (IR) ganglion cells and nerve fibres in rat. These ganglia were examined by using an indirect immunofluorescence technique at daily intervals from the 16th day in utero (i.u.) until birth, and subsequently on the 2nd, 5th, 7th, 12th, 16th, 30th, 42nd postnatal day and in the adult (3 months). In the submandibular ganglion SP- and NKA-IR cells and fibres first appeared in considerable numbers on the 19th day i.u. (in one sample out of five on the 18th day i.u.), when more than 90% of the ganglion cells were immunoreactive to SP and NKA. The number stayed at more than 90% to the 7th postnatal day and then slowly decreased to the levels of adult animals (18% SP, 17% NKA). The first SP- and NKA-IR ganglion cells and fibres appeared in the trigeminal ganglion on the 18th day i.u. when they represented 7% (SP) and 4% (NKA) of the ganglion cells. The number of SP- and NKA-IR cells increased steadily, reaching a maximum at the time of birth when 68% (SP) and 74% (NKA) of the ganglion cells were immunoreactive. Thereafter they began to decrease toward the level of an adult rat (10% SP, 11% NKA). In the superior cervical ganglion only a few SP-and NKA-IR ganglion cells were detected from the 19th day i.u. to the fifth postnatal day. Positive ganglion cells were also occasionally found in the nerve trunks outside the superior cervical ganglion. From the seventh day onwards no SP- or NKA-IR ganglion cells were found. SP-and NKA-IR SIF (small intensively fluorescent) cells were detected from the 16th postnatal day onwards. 相似文献

The ribbon synapses of inner hair cells (IHCs) play an important role in sound encoding and neurotransmitter release. However, it remains unclear whether IHC ribbon synapse plasticity can be interrupted by ototoxic aminoglycoside stimuli. Here, we report that quantitative changes in the number of IHC ribbon synapses and hearing loss occur in response to gentamicin treatment in mice. Using 3D reconstruction, we were able to calculate the number of IHC ribbon synapses after ototoxic gentamicin exposure. Mice were injected intraperitoneally with a low dose of gentamicin (100 mg/kg) once a day for 14 days. Double immunostaining was used to identify IHC ribbon synapses; histopathology and scanning electron microscopy were used to observe the morphology of cochlear hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs), the hearing threshold shifts were recorded by auditory brainstem response examinations. Our study shows that the maximal number of IHC ribbon synapses appeared at the 7th day after treatment, followed by a significant reduction after the 7th day regardless of ongoing treatment. Correspondingly, the maximal elevation of hearing threshold was observed at the 7th day after treatment. Meanwhile, additional cochlear components included OHCs, IHCs, and SGNs were unaffected, suggesting that IHC ribbon synapses are more susceptible to ototoxic aminoglycoside stimulation. Our study indicated that quantitative changes in the number of IHC ribbon synapses is critical response to lower dose of ototoxic stimulation, and may contribute to moderate hearing loss. Additionally, our data indcated that ribbon synaptic plasticity may require the quantitative changes to play self-protective role adapted to ototoxic aminoglycoside stimuli. 相似文献

Endothelial cells, due to their location, are interesting objects for atomic force spectroscopy study. They constitute a barrier between blood and vessel tissues located deeper, and therefore they are the first line of contact with various substances present in blood, eg, drugs or nanoparticles. This work intends to verify whether the mechanical response of immortalized human umbilical vein endothelial cells (EA.hy926), when exposed to silver nanoparticles, as measured using force spectroscopy, could be effectively used as a bio‐indicator of the physiological state of the cells. Silver nanoparticles were characterized with transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering techniques. Tetrazolium salt reduction test was used to determine cell viability after treatment with silver nanoparticles. An elasticity of native cells was examined in the Hanks' buffer whereas fixed cells were softly fixed with formaldehyde. Additional aspect of the work is the comparative force spectroscopy utilizing AFM probes of ball‐shape and conical geometries, in order to understand what changes in cell elasticity, caused by SNPs, were detectable with each probe. As a supplement to elasticity studies, cell morphology observation by atomic force microscopy and detection of silver nanoparticles inside cells using transmission electron microscopy were also performed. Cells exposed to silver nanoparticles at the highest selected concentrations (3.6 μg/mL, 16 μg/mL) are less elastic. It may be associated with the reorganization of the cellular cytoskeleton and the “strengthening” of the cell cortex caused by presence of silver nanoparticles. This observation does not depend on cell fixation. Agglomerates of silver nanoparticles were observed on the cell membrane as well as inside the cells. 相似文献

Reproductive Anatomy of the Grape-vine (Vitis vinifera L.): Origin and Development of the Anlage and its Derivatives 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The origin and development of anlagen (undifferentiated primordia),inflorescences, tendrils and flowers in the grape cv. Shirazhas been investigated by scanning electron microscopy. Anlagenarise terminally by bisection of the apex of the so-called latentbud. The axis of the latent bud is continued by the originalapex and anlagen are displaced laterally. Micrographs presentedhere favour the interpretation of the grape-vine shoot as amonopodium. Anlagen formed distal to the 10th node of container grown vinesformed inflorescence primordia when plants were grown at hightemperatures (33°C day-28°C night). At lower temperatures(21°C day, 16°C night or 18°Cday, 13°C night)anlagen formed distal to the 10th node grew into tendril primordia.At basal nodes anlagen gave rise to shoot primordia. Each branchof the highly-divided inflorescence primordium of Shiraz formsfive flower primordia. Flower development is discussed. 相似文献

The drug-resistant bacterial strains' emergence increases day by day. This may be a result of biofilm presence, which protects bacteria from antimicrobial agents. Thus, new approaches must be used to control biofilm-related infections in healthcare settings. In such a study, biological silver nanoparticles were introduced in such a study as an anti-biofilm agent against multidrug-resistant E. coli U12 on urinary catheters. Seven different silver nanoparticles concentrations were tested for their antimicrobial activities. Also, anti-biofilm activities against E. coli U12 were tested. Using the dilution method, the silver nanoparticles concentration of 85 μg/ml was the MIC (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration) that had excellent biocompatibility and showed significant antibacterial activity against E. coli U12. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirmed that the highest efficient dose of silver nanoparticles was 340 μg/ml at 144 h that reduced adhesion of E. coli U12 to the urinary catheter. E. coli U12 cells ruptured cell walls and cell membranes after being examined using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Thus, biologically prepared silver nanoparticles could be used to coat medical devices since it is effective and promising to inhibit biofilm formation by impregnating urinary catheters with silver nanoparticles. 相似文献

Endocrine cells of gastric glands of Citellus erythrogenus Brandt were studied during various seasons of the year by electron microscopy. ECL, EC, D and D1 cells having different structure of granules were detected. The slightly changed, weakly functioning cells as well as the cells of different alteration degree (up to destructing) were found in hibernating rodents. The presence of actively functioning EC-cells over this period confirms an opinion concerning the influence of peripheral serotonin on the hibernation mechanism. On the 3d--4th day of awakening pronounced activation of endocrine cells, their rejuvenation and normalization of cell ultrastructure, completed two weeks after awakening, were noted. 相似文献

Fragments of snake (Bothrops jararaca) venom gland were analysed by light and transmission electron microscopy in order to characterize the changes in collagen fibres types I and III in the intertubular gland septa during the secretory cycle. The snakes were sacrificed at 45 days (unmilked group), 6 h, 4 and 8 days after manual extraction of the venom. The fragments were fixed, processed according to standard histologic technique for embedding in paraffin, and stained with haematoxylin-eosin and Gomori's trichrome and submitted to Gomori's silver impregnation technique and picrosirius-polarization method. For transmission electron microscopy the fragments were fixed and processed for embedding in Spurr's medium. At the 45th day (the gland at rest), when the secretory activity was at a minimum, the septa were narrow and filled with densely packed collagen fibrils. At 6 h, the septa were enlarged and exhibited wide spaces filled with finely granular Alcian Blue-positive material. Until the 8th day, the septa were narrower and the histologic aspect resembled that of the gland at rest. The results demonstrated structural modifications in the glandular septa according to the different periods of the secretory cycle. These modifications can be associated with the transformation in the secretory epithelium during the venom synthesis cycle. 相似文献
