Summary The development of corticotropes and lactotropes was investigated in the golden Syrian hamster using an anti-porcine ACTH antiserum and a homologous antihamster PRL antiserum. Oval corticotropes were first visible in the ventral region of the pars distalis at 13 days of gestation. By the end of gestation, corticotropes were found throughout the pars distalis and in the pars intermedia. Corticotropes in the pars distalis of postnatal hamsters were either round or irregularly-shaped, often appearing in clusters. Throughout development, corticotropes often appeared to be surrounding other cells. Scarce, very small lactotropes were first observed in the pars distalis of hamsters on the first postnatal day. The number of these cells, which were either round or polyhedral, increased dramatically between 4 and 20 days of postnatal life. These observations indicate that the sequence of appearance of corticotropes and lactotropes in the hamster is similar to that in other species and that lactotropes are confined to the pars distalis of postnatal hamsters. 相似文献

An immunohistochemical study of adenohypophyseal cells in the viviparous reptile Chalcides chalcides 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The morphology of the hypophysis and the immunocharacteristics of the adenohypophyseal cells in the viviparous reptile Chalcides chalcides were studied by light microscopy, using conventional staining methods and an indirect antibody technique (ABC method), respectively. The general morphology of the C. chalcides hypophysis was comparable to that of other reptiles, showing three main regions: the pars distalis, the pars intermedia and the pars nervosa. The gland appeared as an elongated body in a cephalic-caudal direction and was almost completely enclosed in the sella turcica. For this reason, the hypophysis was studied in toto with the brain in decalcified specimens. The pars distalis accounted for most of the whole organ. The pars intermedia surrounded the pars nervosa as a goblet. The pars tuberalis was lacking.The immunohistochemical identification of the adenohypophyseal cells was performed using rabbit antisera against mammalian/synthetic hypophyseal hormones. Prolactin cells were clustered in small cellular cordons in the rostral pars distalis and in the medial pars distalis in both male and female specimens. Somatotropic cells were found in the caudal pars distalis. Corticotropic cells were observed in the medio-rostral pars distalis, as well as in the pars intermedia, where melanotropic cells were also present. Melanotropic cells were confined to the pars intermedia. Gonadotropic cells were mostly distributed in the ventral and lateral portions of the pars distalis, where they were found isolated or in small clusters. Thyrotropic cells were detected in the pars distalis with a distribution similar to that of the gonadotropic cells; however, atypically, they were also found in the pars intermedia. Therefore, the cytological characteristics of the adenohypophyseal cells appeared mostly conserved. 相似文献

In the pituitary of A. testudineus the rostral pars distalis (RPD), proximal pars distalis (PPD) and pars intermedia (PI) are arranged in a rostro-caudal axis. The rostral neurohypophysis (NH) extends dorsal to the pars distalis, while the caudal part vertically penetrates into the PI and ramifies in its component. The RPD mainly consists of erythrosinophils and PgH-positive cells which are comparable to the lactotropes and corticotropes mentioned in the literature. In the nonbreeding season, acidophils are the predominant cells of the PPD and are largely confined to its dorsal aspect. The two types of cyanophils present in the PPD could not be differentiated with the various techniques used in this study. However, those cyanophils which increase in number and are active during the spawning season may be the gonadotropes, while those which are cytologically inactive may be the thyrotropes. The pars intermedia consists of PAS+ and PhH+ cells. Trichrome and tetrachrome staining techniques revealed the presence of acidophils, cyanophils and amphiphils in the PI. 相似文献

Summary The pars tuberalis of the hypophysis of Rana temporaria presents the general structural and the cytological characteristics of an endocrine gland. It is composed of elongated cells with long, branching processes ending on the external basement membrane of the pericapillary space. The pars tuberalis cells produce secretory granules which are accumulated in the pericapillary endings of the processes.Corresponding to its separate localization, the pars tuberalis of Rana temporaria has a separate vascularization of which the efferent capillaries anastomose with the capillary plexus of the median eminence. The general direction of the blood flow of the pars tuberalis is towards the capillaries of the median eminence. Also, the secretory products of the pars tuberalis pass into the blood stream of the hypophysial portal system.Several characteristics of the pars tuberalis show that its function must be different from that of the pars distalis of the hypophysis. Moreover, in contrast with the pars distalis, the activity of the pars tuberalis is not regulated by neurohumoral factors.The results show that a role of the pars tuberalis in the regulation of the activity of the pars distalis of the hypophysis is not excluded. 相似文献

The vertebrate pituitary gland is a key endocrine control organ that contains six distinct hormone secreting cell types. In this study, we analyzed the role of direct cell-to-cell Delta-Notch signaling in zebrafish anterior pituitary cell type specification. We demonstrate that initial formation of the anterior pituitary placode is independent of Notch signaling. Later however, loss of Notch signaling in mind bomb (mib) mutant embryos or by DAPT treatment leads to increased numbers of lactotropes and loss of corticotropes in the anterior pars distalis (APD), increased number of thyrotropes and loss of somatotrope cell types in the posterior pars distalis (PPD), and fewer melanotropes in the posterior region of the adenohypophysis, the pars intermedia (PI). Conversely, Notch gain of function leads to the opposite result, loss of lactotrope and thyrotrope cell specification, and an increased number of corticotropes, melanotropes, and gonadotropes in the pituitary. Our results suggest that Notch acts on placodal cells, presumably as a permissive signal, to regulate progenitor cell specification to hormone secreting cell types. We propose that Notch mediated lateral inhibition regulates the relative numbers of specified hormone cell types in the three pituitary subdomains. 相似文献

The Hawaiian mongoose (Herpestes auropunctatus) is a seasonally breeding mammal whose pituitary gland resembles that of other Viverridae. Certain features, such as a prominent pars tuberalis interna and a double-layered pars intermedia forming a cup for the neurohypophysis, are unique. With the light microscope, five different cell types can be recognized in the pars distalis after staining with periodic acid-Schiff (PAS)-orange G. Two types of acidophils are seen, a small yellow-staining cell and a large angular orange cell. Two basophilic cells are also seen, one with fine PAS-positive cytoplasmic granules and the other with coarse PAS-positive granules in the cytoplasm. The last cell type seen is the chromophobe. Differential cell counts indicated an altered distribution of chromophils in the ventral pars distalis of the female mongoose with changing season and reproductive status, but the most striking change was a decreased percentage of basophils in the pars distalis during the nonbreeding season. 相似文献

An immunohistochemical, light- and electron-microscopial study was made of the pars distalis in adult tammar wallabies (Macropus eugenii). The pars distalis of this marsupial mammal was divided into three regions, based on the distribution of cell types within the gland. Somatotropic, mammotropic, luteotropic, folliculotropic, corticotropic and thyrotropic cells were identified on the basis of their immunohistochemistry, cytology and ultrastructure. Non-granulated (folliculo-stellate) cells, identified in electron micrographs, were found throughout the pars distalis. Somatotropic cells were predominant in the posterior pars distalis in all animals examined. In the single male specimen and in the non-lactating females examined, small numbers of apparently inactive mammotropic cells were scattered throughout the pars distalis; the same cell type was apparently active and present in considerable numbers in lactating females. Only one morphological type of gonadotropic cell was evident; these cells were scattered throughout the pars distalis, but in largest numbers in the median region. Small numbers of thyrotropic cells were found, most commonly in the anterior pars distalis. Corticotrops were also observed in moderate numbers, predominantly in the anterior regions of the pars distalis. 相似文献

Summary Extravascular circulation in the pituitary of Mugil cephalus was investigated by injecting live fish with horseradish peroxidase and studying the distribution of the enzyme in the gland. The principal components of the extravascular circulatory system are the pericapillary spaces, and, arising from them, the interlobular and circumhypophyseal spaces. Extensions of these spaces penetrate the glandular parenchyma of the pars distalis, where they merge with pericellular spaces. In the neurohypophysis, pericapillary spaces are connected to the periaxonal spaces.Capillaries penetrating from the proximal neurohypophysis into the pars distalis are accompanied by neurosecretory axons. These axons form a mass of tissue which is limited near the capillaries by the pericapillary spaces and near the adenohypophysis by the interlobular spaces. Toward the interior of the adenohypophysis the amount of nervous tissue accompanying the capillaries progressively diminishes, thus reducing the distance between pericapillary and interlobular spaces. Within the pars distalis, the neurosecretory axons accompanying the capillaries are sparse, and the secretory and stellate cells are mostly located directly adjacent to the pericapillary spaces. In the neuro-intermediate lobe, interlobular spaces outline the neuro-adenohypophyseal boundary.The relationship between extravascular spaces and hormone-secreting cells varies in the different regions of the adenohypophysis depending upon the type of neurosecretory innervation in the respective region. In the regions of prolactin and gonadotropin cells, where neurosecretory axons are in direct contact with the secretory cells, the hormone-secreting and stellate cells are adjacent to the pericapillary spaces. In the regions of ACTH and STH cells, secretory and stellate cells are found adjacent to the interlobular spaces, which are interposed between the cells and the neurosecretory axons.Abbreviations AH

Indirect immunofluorescence technique with anti-beta FSH and anti-beta oLH antisera has allowed us to detect "gonadotropic cells" in the pars distalis and in the pars tuberalis of the adenohypophysis of the monkey Macacus irus. In the pars distalis, 85-90 % of the "gonadotropic cells" react simultaneously with these two antisera ; 10-15 % of these cells react only either with anti-beta hFSH or anti-beta oLH antisera. The gonadotropic cells are dispersed in the whole pars distalis, amid the other cellular types ; indeed, in the female, there is a "gonadotropic zone" in the median zone of the lateral lobes of the gland. In the pars tuberalis, we have observed "gonadotropic cells" which react only with anti-beta oLH antiserum. These results are compared with observations of some authors. 相似文献

Summary Immunocharacteristics of the pars distalis cells of the pituitary of the male lizard A. carolinensis are determined by employing the immunoperoxidase technique with antisera to mammalian pituitary hormones. On the basis of their immunoreactivity, 5 different cell types with characteristic anatomical distribution are recognized. ACTH cells are found in the rostral half of the pars distalis, and PRL cells in the rostral two thirds of the pars distalis. GH and TSH cells are located in the caudal half of the pars distalis. GTH cells are distributed throughout the gland. When consecutive sections are stained with antiserum to ovine FSH or its -subunit and to ovine LH, the same cells show immunoreactivity to all the three antisera. None of the GTH cells show positive immunoreactivity to ovine -LH antiserum. The results suggest the existence of one gonadotropic cell type in the pituitary of this lizard.Supported by U.S. Council for International Exchange of Scholars (to D.R.N.) and PHS Grant NS09914 相似文献

The present communication deals with a histological study of the pituitary gland of the teleost fish Mugil cephalus , found in the estuarine waters of Cochin area. Six different cell types were identified in the pituitary gland on the basis of their grouping, distribution and staining properties. The prolactin and the TSH cells (thyroid stimulating hormone producing cells or thyrotrops) were identified in the rostral pars distalis and the ACTH cells (adrenocorticotropic hormone producing cells or corticotrops) in the interphase between the neurohypophysis and the rostral pars distalis. The STH cells (somatotropic hormone producing cells or somatotrops) and the gonadotropic cells were distinguished in the proximal pars distalis and the MSH cells (melanin stimulating hormone producing cells or melanotrops) in the pars intermedia. 相似文献

Abstract Using various staining techniques and methods, the following cells were differentiated from pars distalis of the pituitary gland in the mouse: corticotropic, somatotropic, lactotropic, thyrotropic and gonadotropic cells. Diurnal activity of the differentiated cells in pars distalis of the pituitary gland was determined by the method of karyometry. The karyometric analysis showed the existence of a distinct diurnal rhythm in nuclear volume in all five types of the differentiated cells in both sexes. 相似文献

Summary The prolactin-producing cells are the first hormone-producing cells of the pars distalis to be differentiated within Ambystoma gracile. They first appear when the larvae attain a length of approximately 3.0 cm snout to vent length (SVL). Thyrotropes are observed as the next chromophilic cells to appear, and they occur when the larvae are approximately 4.5 cm SVL. Both thyrotropes and lactotropes increase in numbers until metamorphosis. Gonadotropes begin to appear when larvae attain a size of 5.0 cm SVL and become extremely abundant when larvae are in excess of 7.0 cm SVL. Animals, generally, exhibit the greatest number of thyrotropes just prior to the mean size for metamorphosis, and metamorphosing animals exhibit a dramatic reduction in the number of thyrotropes. Neotenous larvae have an abundant number of thyrotropes which are mainly located along the caudal periphery of the pituitary. 相似文献

Abstract Prolactin (LTH) and growth hormone (GH) containing cells in A. güldenstaedti have been localized by means of anti-ovine prolactin and anti-bovine growth hormone respectively, coupled indirectly to peroxidase, and localized histochemically with hydrogen peroxide as substrate and 3,3′-diaminobenzidine as capturing agent. The distribution of the anti-prolactin positive cells has been demonstrated and correlated histologically with the acidophilic cells both in the rostral and proximal pars distalis. This cell type is elongated and arranged in follicles in the rostral pars distalis; in the proximal pars distalis they are smaller and oval, without any special orientation. Neither of the other cell types which are scattered among these acidophils contain prolactin. The anti-bovine growth hormone positive cells are evenly distributed in the proximal pars distalis above the hypophysial cleft, and some are also found in the pars intermedia. The anti-GH positive cells have been correlated histologically with the amphiphilic cells in the proximal pars distalis. These cells are arranged in cell cords in close contact with the secondary capillary plexus, near its origin from the primary capillary plexus covering the median eminence. 相似文献

Summary Immunoreactive neuropeptide Y and dynorphin have been localized in the brain and pituitary gland of the platyfish, Xiphophorus maculatus, at different ages and stages of development from birth to sexual maturity. Immunoreactive neuropeptide Y was found in perikarya and tracts of the nucleus olfactoretinalis, telencephalon, ventral tegmentum and in the neurohypophysis and in the three regions of the adenohypophysis. Immunoreactive dynorphin was found in nerve tracts in the olfactory bulb and in cells of the pars intermedia and the rostral pars distalis of the pituitary gland. 相似文献

Summary In the pars distalis, the pars intermedia and the pars tuberalis of the hypophysis of Rana temporaria, an annual mitotic cycle is described.In the pars distalis there exists a gradient of mitotic activity, corresponding to a gradient of distribution of the PAS positive cells.In the pars distalis, the rate of cell degeneration and of cell renewal of the PAS positive cells seems to be faster than of the orange G positive cells.The replacement of degenerated PAS positive cells of the pars distalis seems to occur mainly during the months immediately following on the period of maximal activity of the PAS positive cells. 相似文献

The morphogenesis of the pituitary gland and the chronological appearance of adenohypophyseal cells were investigated for the first time in the Somalian cave fish Phreatichthys andruzzii by immunocytochemistry. The adult adenohypophysis contained: a rostral pars distalis, with prolactin (PRL) cells arranged in follicles and adrenocorticotropic (ACTH) cells, a proximal pars distalis with somatotropic (GH), β‐thyrotropic (TSH), β‐gonadotropic type I (FSH) and type II (LH) cells and a pars intermedia with α‐somatolactin (SL), α‐melanotropic (MSH) and β‐endorphin (END) cells. All regions were deeply penetrated by neurohypophyseal branches. At hatching (24 h post‐fertilization) the pituitary was an oval cell mass, close to the ventral margin of diencephalon. The first immunoreactive cells appeared as follows: PRL at 0·5 days after hatching (dah), GH and SL at 1·5 dah, END at 2 dah, TSH, ACTH and MSH at 2·5 dah, FSH at 28 dah and LH at 90 dah. The neurohypophysis appeared at 5 dah and branched extensively inside the adenohypophysis at 130 dah, but there was no boundary between rostral pars distalis and proximal pars distalis at this stage. The potential indices of prolactin and growth hormone production increased until 28 and 60 dah, respectively. The potential index of growth hormone production correlated positively with total length. Activity of PRL and GH cells, measured as ratio of cell area to nucleus area, was significantly higher in juveniles than in larvae. 相似文献

The pituitary gland in the little (lit) mutant mouse was analyzed with respect to the cytoarchitecture of the pars distalis and the volumetric density of immunoreactive growth hormone (GH) cell granules in neonatal lit/lit and normal C57BL mice. At 8 days postnatally the volume of GH granules/total tissue was significantly less in the lit/lit pars distalis, and the cells were loosely arranged, as compared with the normal pars distalis. In newborn mice a statistically significant difference could not be detected between normal and lit/lit mice with respect to the volumetric density of GH granules; however, differences occurred in the cytoarchitectural organization of the pars distalis. These differences included prominent vascular channels and well-defined cords and clusters of cells in the normal newborn mice, in contrast to indistinct vascular elements and a more diffuse arrangement of cells in lit/lit. 相似文献

Summary Immunocytochemical studies were performed to describe the characteristics of cell types and their distribution in the pars distalis of Japanese long-fingered bat, Miniopterus schreibersii fuliginosus, collected at various stages of the reproductive cycle. Six distinct cell types have been identified in the pars distalis by the unlabeled immunoperoxidase technique and by the ABC method. Growth hormone (GH) and prolactin (PRL) cells were immunostained with antisera against chicken GH and ovine PRL. The GH-immunoreactive cells were round or oval orangeophilic cells distributed throughout the pars distalis with prominent aggregation in the posterolateral region. The PRL cells were pleomorphic carminophilic cells that occurred in small groups within the central and dorsocaudal regions of the pars distalis. They were sparsely distributed in the central region of the pars distalis in the hibernating bats, but increased significantly in the pregnant and lactating bats. The adrenocorticotropic (ACTH) cells were large round or polygonal amphophilic cells in the rostroventral and ventrolateral regions of the pars distalis. The thyrotropic (TSH) cells were small rounded or polygonal and distributed mainly in the ventrolateral region of the pars distalis. Luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) cells were identified immunocytochemically with antisera against the specific beta subunits of ovine LH and rat FSH. There were two populations of LH and FSH cells, one aggregated in the zona tuberalis and the other scattered singly throughout the rest of the pars distalis. The aggregated cells were immunoreactive with both antisera directed to LH and FSH, while scattered cells were reactive solely with antiserum to either LH or FSH and exhibited seasonal variations. In females, the proportional volume of the pars distalis occupied by LH cells was significantly reduced during pregnancy and lactation. No evidence of involution was observed in pars distalis cells except for PRL cells in males or females during hibernation. 相似文献
