The cytochemical localization of alkaline phosphatase (AlPase) activity in the developing IVth ventricular choroidal epithelium was investigated in embryonic and neonatal rats. During the initial development of the choroidal primodium the flattened and/or cuboidal epithelial cells of the ventricular roof were changed to columnar cells with well-developed microvilli and apical tight junctions. When compared to AlPase activity on the lateral plasma membranes of the surrounding ependymal cells, these columnar cells of the choroidal primodium revealed activity on the lateral and luminal plasma membranes, but no activity was found on the basal surface of these cells. On the other hand, the epithelial cells in the neonatal choroid plexus showed a continuous morphological alteration from columnar cells with short microvilli to mature cuboidal cells with numerous long microvilli. AlPase activity in immature columnar cells was observed on all plasma membranes, except for the apical junctional area of the lateral surface. With maturing of the choroidal epithelial cells, the activity appeared to be eliminated from the lateral and luminal plasma membranes of the cuboidal cells, and mature choroidal epithelial cells showed activity on the basal surface only. These findings suggest that AlPase may play an important role in the membrane activity of epithelial cells differentiating between the primitive epithelial cells of the ventricular roof and the mature choroidal epithelial cells.  相似文献

In the first paper of this series (Bennett et al., 1984), light-microscope radioautographic studies showed that colchicine or vinblastine inhibited intracellular migration of glycoproteins out of the Golgi region in a variety of cell types. In the present work, the effects of these drugs on migration of membrane glycoproteins have been examined at the ultrastructural level in duodenal villous columnar cells and hepatocytes. Young (40 gm) rats were given a single intravenous injection of colchicine (4.0 mg) or vinblastine (2.0 mg). At 10 min after colchicine and 30 min after vinblastine administration, the rats were injected with 3H-fucose. Control rats received 3H-fucose only. All rats were sacrificed 90 min after 3H-fucose injection and their tissues processed for radioautography. In duodenal villous columnar cells, 3H-fucose labeling of the apical plasma membrane was reduced by 51% after colchicine and by 67% after vinblastine treatment; but there was little change in labeling of the lateral plasma membrane. Labeling of the Golgi apparatus increased. This suggests that labeled glycoproteins destined for the apical plasma membrane were inhibited from leaving the Golgi region, while migration to the lateral plasma membrane was not impaired. In hepatocytes, labeling of the sinusoidal plasma membrane was reduced by 83% after colchicine and by 85% after vinblastine treatment. Labeling of the lateral plasma membrane also decreased, although not so dramatically. Labeling of the Golgi apparatus and neighboring secretory vesicles increased. This indicates that the drugs inhibited migration of membrane glycoproteins from the Golgi region to the various portions of the plasma membrane. Accumulation of secretory vesicles at the sinusoidal front suggests that exocytosis may also have been partially inhibited. In both cell types, microtubules almost completely disappeared after drug treatment. Microtubules may, therefore, be necessary for intracellular transport of membrane glycoproteins, although the possibility of a direct action of these drugs on Golgi or plasma membranes must also be considered.  相似文献

Young (40 gm) rats were given a single intravenous injection of colchicine (4.0 mg) or vinblastine (2.0 mg). At 10 min after colchicine and 30 min after vinblastine administration, the rats were injected with 3H-fucose. Control rats received 3H-fucose only. All rats were sacrificed 90 min after 3H-fucose injection and their tissues processed for radioautography. In thyroid follicular cells of control animals, at this time interval, 57% of the total label was associated with colloid and secretory vesicles in the apical cytoplasm while 27% was localized in the Golgi apparatus and neighboring vesicles. In experimental animals, the proportion of label in colloid and apical vesicles was reduced by more than 69% after colchicine and more than 83% after vinblastine treatment. The proportion of label in the Golgi region, on the other hand, increased by more than 125% after colchicine and more than 179% after vinblastine treatment. Within the Golgi region, the great majority of the label was associated with secretory vesicles which accumulated adjacent to the trans face of the Golgi stacks. It is concluded that the drugs do not interfere with passage of newly synthesized thyroglobulin from the Golgi saccules to nearby secretory vesicles, but do inhibit intracellular migration of these vesicles to the cell apex. In most cells the number of vesicles in the apical cytoplasm diminished, but this was not always the case, suggesting that exocytosis may also be partially inhibited. The loss of microtubules in drug-treated cells suggests that the microtubules may be necessary for intracellular transport of thyroglobulin.  相似文献

Previous studies have shown that colchicine and vinblastine inhibit secretion in many cell types by interrupting the normal intracellular migration of secretory products. In the present work, radioautography has been used to study the effects of these drugs on migration of membrane and secretory glycoproteins in a variety of cell types. Young (40 gm) rats were given a single intravenous injection of colchicine (4.0 mg) or vinblastine (2.0 mg). At 10 min after colchicine and 30 min after vinblastine administration, the rats were injected with 3H-fucose. Control rats received 3H-fucose only. All rats were sacrificed 90 min after 3H-fucose injection and their tissues processed for light microscope radioautography. Examination of secretory cell types such as ameloblasts and thyroid follicular cells in control animals revealed reactions of approximately equal intensity over the Golgi region and over extracellular secretion products, while in drug-treated rats most of the reaction was confined to the Golgi region. In a variety of other cell types, including endocrine cells (e.g., hepatocytes) and cells generally considered as nonsecretory (e.g., intestinal columnar cells), reaction in control animals occurred both over the Golgi region and over various portions of the cell surface. In drug-treated animals, a strong Golgi reaction was present, but reaction over the cell surface was weak or absent. These results indicate that in many cell types, colchicine and vinblastine inhibit migration out of the Golgi region not only of secretory glycoproteins, but also of membrane glycoproteins destined for the plasma membrane.  相似文献

The effects of vinblastine and colchicine on the Golgi apparatus of stomach surface mucoid and absorptive intestinal cells were compared by cytochemical analysis. The two epithelial cells were chosen because of their different specific functions in the formation of secretory granules, the production of lysosomes and the intensity of membrane traffic in the cytoplasm. For the analysis, adult mice were injected with 1 mg/100 g b.w. of vinblastine and 1 mg/100 g b.w. of colchicine. For the demonstration of cis and trans cisternae of the Golgi apparatus, prolonged osmification, thiamine pyrophosphatase and acid phosphatase activity identification were applied. After treatment with vinblastine or colchicine, polarity of stacks in the Golgi apparatus of surface mucoid cells is preserved although the number of cisternae with thiamine pyrophosphatase or acid phosphatase activity decreases. However, the Golgi apparatus of intestinal absorptive cells completely disintegrates and only a few separated cis or trans cisternae can be identified. The main effect seems to be a reduction of vesicles which can be cytochemically identified as parts of the Golgi apparatus and an accumulation of vesicles which probably originate from budding ER. Communication between the ER and the Golgi apparatus seems to be interrupted.  相似文献

In murine colonic epithelial cells, cell-coat glycoproteins are transported to the cell surface in vesicles that originate at the Golgi apparatus. To determine the role of microtubules in the movement of these vesicles the antimicrotubule agent colchicine was injected into mice at several time intervals prior to sacrifice. In the mice that were treated with colchicine for 4.5 h it was observed that the polarity of the cells was disturbed. The Golgi apparatus and nucleus often appeared interchanged in their positions. The glycoprotein-containing vesicles, normally located apically, were sparse in that location, but abundant near the lateral plasma membranes of the cells at the level of the nucleus and Golgi apparatus. Straining by the periodic acid-chromic acid-silver methenamine technique for glycoproteins clearly revealed the reduction of vesicles apically and accumulation of vesicles laterally. The mechanism responsible for the movement of the vesicles to this location is unclear. It is suggested that the accumulation of vesicles in the lateral region may reflect some hindrance in the fusion of the vesicles with the lateral cell membranes.  相似文献

After an intraluminal injection of horseradish peroxidase into the small intestine, the localization of peroxidase was studied in neonatal developing and adult rats by means of electron microscopy. Until around the 14th day of the neonatal period absorbed peroxidase granules in the duodenal and jejunal epithelium were abundant in the microvillous membrane, the apical tubulo-vacuolar system, and the Golgi apparatus, and on the lateral cell and basal membranes, and the luminal surfaces of the capillary cells. At the weaning period the tubulo-vacuolar system was absent in the duodenal and jejunal epithelial cells, and at that point absorbed peroxidase was observed in the same sites as in the adult rats: the microvillous membrane, the lateral cell and basal membranes, the Golgi apparatus, and the vesicles and vacuoles of the cytoplasm. During the suckling period, in the ileal epithelial cells exogenous peroxidase was found on the microvilli, in the tubulo-vacuolar system, in the supranuclear vacuole, in the Golgi apparatus, on the lateral cell and basal membranes, and also on the luminal surface of the endothelial cells of blood capillaries. When the tubulo-vacuolar system and the supranuclear vacuole were lost from the ileal cells at the weaning period, no exogenous peroxidase uptake was observed in the absorptive cell of the ileal epithelium.  相似文献

Previous studies have shown that anti microtubule agents disrupt Golgi complexes in hepatocytes and other cells, causing breakdown or vesiculation of Golgi cisternal membranes. Whether this change in the structure of the Golgi membranes is associated with changes in Golgi membrane function is not known. The present study was initiated to investigate this issue; i.e., to determine whether anti-microtubule agents that cause structural changes in Golgi membranes in vivo would, at the same time, affect characteristic enzyme functions of Golgi membranes. To this end, colchicine was given to young rats in vivo and various hepatic subcellular membranes were subsequently isolated and utilized for enzyme assays. Initially it was shown that colchicine (2.5 mg/kg body wt.) given for 5h significantly decreased the activities of the Golgi membrane associated enzymes galactosyl-, sialyl- and N-acetylglucosaminyl-transferases. More detailed experiments indicated that low doses of colchicine (0.8 mg/kg body wt.), although less effective than higher doses, decreased the activities of the terminal glycosylating enzymes maximally at 5h, with partial and complete recovery at 12 and 24h respectively. Treatment in vivo of rats with vinblastine (20 mg/kg body wt.) for 5h mimicked the action of colchicine. Two microsomal glycosylating enzymes (mannosyl and N acetylglucosaminyl transferases) were unaffected by the treatment with colchicine, as were various hepatic 'marker' enzymes such as 5' nucleotidase, glucose 6 phosphatase and succinate: 2-(p iodophenyl)-3-(p nitrophenyl)-5-phenyltetrazolium reductase (succinate dehydrogenase; EC 1.3.99.1), which were found to be enriched in plasma membrane, endoplasmic-reticulum and mitochondrial-membrane fractions respectively. These results show that anti-microtubule agents specifically suppress the activity of Golgi-associated glycosyltransferases in liver. Although it seems likely that these changes are related to the previously observed structural changes in hepatocyte Golgi complexes after colchicine treatment, to what extent the results are linked to the interaction of colchicine with microtubule protein remains to be clarified.  相似文献

The effects of administration of anti-microtubular drugs--vinblastine and colchicine--on the ultrastructure of the zona fasciculata cells of young rat adrenal were studied. Young male rats were injected with vinblastine and sacrificed 2 hr later or with colchicine and sacrificed 3 hr after drug administration. Animals injected with isotonic saline in same experimental conditions served as controls. Ultrastructural alterations provoked by both drugs, vinblastine or colchicine, were identical and were most prominent in the Golgi areas. They appeared enlarged and crowded with round, or slightly elongated light vesicles, acid phosphatase, and osmium negatives. The Golgi dictyosomes, although keeping their normal morphology, were less numerous and presented cisternae which were narrower and shorter than controls. Electron-dense vesicles, round or elongated, and acid phosphatase positive--lysosomes--were observed in great number in the Golgi areas, intermingled with light vesicles. The relative volume of light vesicles and lysosomes of the treated animals was significantly increased when compared with controls, but the relative volume of dictyosomes was significantly decreased. Also the numerical density of light vesicles and lysosomes of the injected rats was significantly increased when compared with controls. These alterations are highly suggestive of the Golgi involvement in the adrenal secretory process.  相似文献

The architecture of the Golgi complex in honeybee photoreceptors has been analyzed by electron-microscopic techniques. The Golgi apparatus consists of several hundred individual stacks of cisternae dispersed throughout the soma of the photoreceptor cell. Two distinct subpopulations of Golgi stacks are distinguishable by their topographic features: (1) a dense row of Golgi stacks is aligned along the palisade-like cisternae of smooth endoplasmic reticulum backing the photoreceptive microvilli; (2) other Golgi stacks are scattered in the remainder of the cell body. The spatial relationship of Golgi stacks to microtubules and actin filaments has also been determined. Electron-microscopic examination of high-pressure-frozen freeze-substituted retinae reveals that Golgi stacks backing the submicrovillar endoplasmic reticulum reside in a cell area without microtubules, whereas the second subpopulation of Golgi stacks is embedded amidst microtubules. Labeling studies with several actin-specific probes, viz., rhodamine phalloidin, monoclonal anti-actin antibodies, and myosin fragments, provide evidence for a juxtaposition of the submicrovillar Golgi stacks to actin filaments. The Golgi membranes are thus ideally positioned to facilitate the transport of Golgi-derived material toward the microvilli along actin filaments.  相似文献

The periodic acid-thiocarbohydrazide (SO2)--OsO4 method was used to examine the distribution of glycoproteins in rabbit fibroblast cells infected with Herpes simplex virus type 1. In non-infected cells, a low level of staining was seen over the plasma membrane and the membranes of the Golgi apparatus. At 17 hr post-infection, the intensity of reaction was increased to include not only a relatively heavy staining of the plasma membrane, including the numerous microvilli characteristic of infected cells, and of the newly proliferated Golgi membranes, but also the envelopes of intracytoplasmic and extracellular virions. A very faint but only occasional staining also was associated with the virus-induced reduplications of the inner nuclear membrane and the envelopes of associated enveloping nucleocapsids. We suggest that such differences in the intensity of staining may be related either to the amount of glycoproteins or to the sequential maturation of the viral glycoproteins. We also observed that the structurally modified portions of the Golgi membranes at the position where intracytoplasmic naked nucleocapsids bud into the Golgi cisternae usually exhibit a more intense reaction for glycoproteins than do the adjacent portions of the Golgi membranes. This supports the evidence for an envelopment of nucleocapsids in the cytoplasm, but it does not indicate whether this event obligatorily follows or only occasionally takes the place of the envelopment of nucleocapsids at the inner nuclear membrane. In either event, the envelopes of all mature virions exhibit a prominent reaction to glycoproteins.  相似文献

Ultrastructural localization of acid phosphatase activity was investigated in ultrathin (0.05 micron) and semithin (0.5 and 0.75 micron) sections of the small intestinal epithelial cells of adult rats. The results showed that the enzyme activity was localized on the membrane of microvilli, lateral cell membranes, lysosomes, the Golgi complex, and the GERL of Novikoff (a part of the smooth-surfaced endoplasmic reticulum located in close proximity to the inner Golgi saccules) of duodenal absorptive cells. The lysosomes contained within the duodenal and jejunal absorptive cells appeared to be mainly heterolysosomes rather than autolysosomes. The enzyme activity of absorptive cells was lower in the jejunum than in the duodenum, and was barely detectable except in the GERL and lysosomes of the ileum. The average numbers of lysosomes having a diameter of 0.2 approximately 1.0 microns, per cell profile in sections of 214 duodenal, 226 jejunal and 318 ileal epithelial cells were 8.9 +/- 0.189, 6.4 +/- 0.155 and 3.5 +/- 0.027 (mean +/- SE), respectively. From these results, it was assumed that both the Golgi apparatus and GERL produce some lysosomes in the duodenal and jejunal absorptive cells, but only GERL does so in the ileum. It was considered also that because of an unexpectedly high number of lysosomes containes within the epithelial absorptive cells of the proximal intestine of adult rats, these cells may possess the strong heterophagic, as well as absorptive capacity.  相似文献

The intracellular route followed by viral envelope glycoproteins in polarized Madin-Darby canine kidney cells was studied by using temperature-sensitive mutants of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) and influenza, in which, at the nonpermissive temperature (39.5 degrees C), the newly synthesized glycoproteins (G proteins) and hemagglutinin (HA), respectively, are not transported out of the endoplasmic reticulum. After infection with VSV and incubation at 39.5 degrees C for 4-5 h, synchronous transfer of G protein to the plasma membrane was initiated by shifting to the permissive temperature (32.5 degrees C). Immunoelectron microscopy showed that under these conditions the protein moved to the Golgi apparatus and from there directly to a region of the lateral plasma membrane near this organelle. G protein then seemed to diffuse progressively to basal regions of the cell surface and, only after it had accumulated in the basolateral domain, it began to appear on the apical surface near the intercellular junctions. The results of these experiments indicate that the VSV G protein must be sorted before its arrival at the cell surface, and suggest that passage to the apical domain occurs only late in infection when tight junctions are no longer an effective barrier. In complementary experiments, using the temperature-sensitive mutant of influenza, cultures were first shifted from the nonpermissive temperature (39.5 degrees C) to 18.5 degrees C, to allow entrance of the glycoprotein into the Golgi apparatus (see Matlin, K.S., and K. Simons, 1983, Cell, 34:233-243). Under these conditions HA accumulated in Golgi stacks and vesicles but did not reach the plasma membrane. When the temperature was subsequently shifted to 32.5 degrees C, HA rapidly appeared in discrete regions of the apical surface near, and often directly above, the Golgi elements, and later diffused throughout this surface. To ensure that the anti-HA antibodies had access to lateral domains, monolayers were treated with a hypertonic medium to dilate the intercellular spaces. Some labeling was then observed in the lateral plasma membranes soon after the shift, but this never increased beyond 1.0 gold particle/micron, whereas characteristic densities of labeling in apical surfaces soon became much higher (approximately 10 particles/micron). Our results suggest that the bulk of HA follows a direct pathway leading from the Golgi to regions of the apical surface close to trans-Golgi cisternae.  相似文献

Treatment of rats with colchicine (0.5 mg/100 g of body weight) for more than 3 hr causes formation of microvillus borders along lateral and basal surfaces of absorptive cells in the small intestine. Morphologically, these strongly resemble the apical brush border inclusive of the terminal-web region. Formation of basolateral microvilli is restricted to mature absorptive cells. At 6 hr after administration of colchicine, 3.47% (+/- 1.94%) of the basolateral cell surfaces exhibit "implantation" of microvillus borders. The results show that colchicine induces formation of surface differentiations at lateral and basal surface regions that are restricted to the apical cell surface in controls. Redistribution of constituents of the plasma membrane from apical to basolateral membrane portions, as well as rearrangement in the organization of microfilaments can be considered to underlie formation of basolateral microvillus borders. From the antimicrotubular effect of colchicine it may be deduced that microtubules exert a regulative function in the formation of surface differentiations on absorptive cells of the small intestine and in the maintenance of the polarity of the cells.  相似文献

Summary The ependyma of the IVth ventricle and the central canal of the rat medulla oblongata was investigated using the cytochemical technique for alkaline phosphatase (AlPase) which revealed two types of ependymal cells in the medulla. The central canal type of the ependymal cell occupying the dorsal part of the central canal in the lower medulla exhibited intense AlPase activity with light microscopy. These cells had reaction products in all plasma membranes, including the microvilli and the cilia at the luminal cell surface. Some cells appeared to be tanycytes, since the process reached the basement membrane of the parenchymal blood vessel. The ventricular type of ependymal cells, which form the floor of the IVth ventricle and the central canal, contained no reaction products in any structure of the luminal cell surface.The possible relationship between the cerebrospinal fluid and the nervous tissues through the ependymal linings is discussed.  相似文献

Experiments were carried out to determine the origin of cortical polarity in mouse eggs and its possible relation to the meiotic apparatus. Cortices of mature eggs overlying the meiotic apparatus (microvillus-free area) were distinguished by an absence of microvilli and a thickened layer of actin. In contrast, the surfaces of immature oocytes were covered entirely with a dense population of microvilli and were subtended by a uniform layer of actin. When induced to undergo maturation, meiotic spindles formed in the center of immature oocytes and then moved peripherally. Coincident with the cortical localization of the meiotic spindle was the formation of a microvillus-free area, i.e., a loss of microvilli and a thickening of the actin layer associated with this region of the egg cortex. If immature oocytes were incubated in cytochalasin B, meiotic spindles formed; however, they failed to move peripherally and microvillus-free areas did not develop. Oocytes incubated in colchicine did not form meiotic spindles, although the chromosomes condensed and became localized to cortices where microvillus-free areas developed. Cytochalasin B-treated mature eggs maintained intact meiotic spindles and exhibited a disappearance of microvillus-free areas and a reduction in cortical actin. The chromosomes of mature eggs treated with colchicine remained associated with microvillus-free areas despite the disappearance of meiotic spindles. Occasionally, colchicine-treated eggs possessed more than one cortically located mass of chromosomes, each of which was associated with a microvillus-free area. These observations indicate that mechanisms involving the movement of the meiotic spindle to the oocyte cortex and development and maintenance of cortical polarity are cytochalasin B sensitive. Commensurate with the localization of meiotic chromosomes to the egg cortex is the reorganization of cortical actin and the formation of a microvillus-free area.  相似文献

We studied the maturation of Uukuniemi virus and the localization of the viral surface glycoproteins and nucleocapsid protein in infected cells by electron microscopy, indirect immunofluorescence, and immunoelectron microscopy with specific antisera prepared in rabbits against the two glycoproteins G1 and G2 and the nucleocapsid protein N. Electron microscopy of thin sections from infected cells showed virus particles maturing at smooth-surfaced membranes close to the nucleus. Localization of the G1/G2 and N proteins by indirect immunofluorescence at different stages after infection showed the antigens to be present throughout the cell interior but concentrated in the juxtanuclear region. The G1/G2 antiserum also appeared to stain the nuclear and plasma membranes. Double staining with tetramethylrhodamine isothiocyanate-conjugated wheat germ agglutinin, which preferentially stains the Golgi complex, and fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated anti-rabbit immunoglobulin G, which stained the G1/G2 or N proteins, showed that the staining of the juxtanuclear region coincided. Similarly, double staining for thiamine pyrophosphatase, an enzyme activity specific for the Golgi complex, showed the fluorescence and the cytochemical stain to coincide in the juxtanuclear region. Immunoperoxidase electron microscopy of cells permeabilized with saponin revealed that the viral glycoproteins were present in the rough endoplasmic reticulum and the nuclear and Golgi membranes; the latter was heavily stained. With this method, the N protein was localized to the cytoplasm, especially around smooth-surfaced vesicles in the Golgi region. Taken together, the results indicate that Uukuniemi virus and its structural proteins accumulate in the Golgi complex, supporting the idea that this compartment rather than the plasma membrane is the site of virus maturation. This raises the interesting possibility that deficient transport of the glycoproteins to the plasma membrane and hence their accumulation in the Golgi complex determines the site of virus maturation.  相似文献

BHK-21 cells, infected with Semliki Forest virus, were treated with cycloheximide to stop further synthesis but not intracellular transport of the viral membrane proteins. These proteins were then localized in thin, frozen sections using specific antibodies labelled indirectly with ferritin or gold. Quantitation of the labelling on micrographs showed the movement of spike proteins from the rough endoplasmic reticulum and through the Golgi stacks. The spike proteins spent about 15 minutes in each of these intracellular organelles and their final destination was the plasma membrane. Parallel biochemical studies showed that most of the simple oligosaccharides on the viral spike proteins were modified to the complex form at the same time as these membrane proteins were passing through the Golgi stacks. Cell fractionation studies revealed the same pattern; the proteins passed from the rough endoplasmic reticulum to the plasma membrane via a vesicle fraction isolated according to its content of galactosyl transferase. Independent evidence that this fraction was derived at least in part from the Golgi complex in BHK cells was obtained by showing that it reacted specifically with an antibody raised to rat liver Golgi membranes.  相似文献

Immunocytochemical studies were carried out to examine the subcellular localization of plasma retinol-binding protein (RBP) in rat liver. The studies used normal, retinol-deficient, and retinol-repleted retinol-deficient rats with or without colchicine pretreatment. Affinity-purified monomeric Fab' fragments from the IgG fraction of rabbit anti-rat RBP were conjugated to horseradish peroxidase. This conjugate effectively penetrated into tissue sections and enabled RBP to be localized by high resolution immunoelectron microscopy. In the normal liver parenchymal cell, RBP was found to be localized in the synthetic and secretory structures including endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi complex (GC), and secretory vesicles. With the method used, significant localization of RBP was not observed in hepatic cells other than parenchymal cells. The distribution of RBP-positive areas within parenchymal cells changed markedly with retinol depletion. Thus, a heavy accumulation of RBP in the ER, accompanied by a marked decrease of the RBP-positive GC and secretory vesicles, was demonstrated in liver parenchymal cells from retinol-deficient rats. After repletion of deficient rats with retinol, the RBP that accumulated in the ER appeared to move rapidly from the ER through GC and secretory vesicles to the cell surface. Pretreatment with colchicine led to marked increase in RBP-positive secretory vesicles in retinol-repleted rat liver parenchymal cells. The results reported here demonstrate that the specific block in hepatic RBP secretion seen in retinol deficiency involves an inhibition of the movement of RBP from the ER to the GC in the parenchymal cell.  相似文献

The reaction patterns of the Golgi apparatus following staining with the lectins concanavalin A (ConA), Ricinus communis I agglutinin (RCA I), and Helix pomatia lectin (HPA) were studied in the pancreas acinar cells of rat embryos in the course of cell differentiation from day 13 through day 20 of gestation. The binding reactions were localized by means of pre-embedment incubation of 10-microns-thick cryosections of pancreas tissue, prefixed in a mixture of 4% formaldehyde/0.5% glutaraldehyde, using horseradish peroxidase for electron microscope visualization. ConA, which preferentially binds to alpha-D-mannosyl residues, consistently stained the cisternae of the cis Golgi side. The majority of the stacks also showed ConA staining of medial cisternae. The reaction of the trans side was variable; in each stage of development, the cisternae of the trans Golgi side either were devoid of labeling or appeared intensely stained. The reactions obtained with RCA I, which recognizes terminal beta-D-galactosyl residues, changed in the course of cell differentiation; in the protodifferentiated and early differentiated states, the system of "rigid lamellae," located at the trans side of the Golgi stacks, was intensely labeled, but became unreactive after production of secretion granules had started, the reaction then being restricted to the stacked saccules. In regard to the Golgi stacks in each of the developmental stages, RCA I binding sites either were confined to the trans cisternae, or, in addition, were found distributed across elements of the medial and cis compartments.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献
