Summary The pituitaries of male and female rats given 0.3 g of 6.7-3H-oestradiol-17 per 100 g body weight were examined by autoradiography in order to 1) identify the cells responsible for the uptake of the hormone, 2) determine the intracellular distribution of the hormone and quantify the proportions localized within the cytoplasm and nucleus by silver grain counting, and 3) see if sex differences existed in the cellular and intracellular distribution of the hormone. The animals were killed at intervals varying from 1 minute to 8 hours following intravenous or intramuscular injection.A large proportion of pituitary cells having the morphologic characteristics of acidophils, basophils and chromophobes contained radioactive material. Castration cells and acidophils of gonadectomized and lactating rats showed marked labelling. In male and female rats killed 10 minutes after intravenous injection, 84.4 and 83.6 per cent of the cells were labelled. One hour after intramuscular injection, 86.6 and 76.1 per cent of the cells were labelled in males and females, respectively. Thus, a small proportion of the cells remained unlabelled.Labelled cells showed silver grains both in the cytoplasm and over the cell nuclei, but the major proportion of the radioactive material was invariably associated with the cell nuclei in all cell types and at all time intervals. About 65 per cent of the radioactive material was associated with the cell nuclei in animals killed five minutes or one hour after intravenous or intramuscular injection of the hormone. The silver grains appeared to be randomly distributed in both the cytoplasm and over the cell nuclei.In the intermediate lobe and the neurohypophysis, only sparse labelling with random distribution was observed. At the border between the intermediate lobe and the neurohypophysis, labelling of single cells or clusters of cells similar to those in the adenohypophysis was found.The results, which were essentially the same in male and female rats, appear to indicate a direct effect of oestradiol at the pituitary level.This work was supported by grants from the Norwegian Cancer Society and by Nordisk Insulinfond.

Summary The cellular and subcellular localization of radioactivity in the brain of immature female rats was determined by dry-mount autoradiography 2 h after iv injection of 1.0 g of (monethyl-3H) diethylstilboestrol per 100 g body weight. A specific topographic pattern of nuclear concentration of the synthetic oestrogen was obtained similar to that for 3H-oestradiol-17 in specific neurons of the basal hypothalamus, preoptic region and amygdala. In competition experiments, the nuclear concentration of radioactivity in all areas studied was inhibited by unlabeled oestradiol, while unlabeled testosterone had no effect. These data suggest that although oestradiol can bind to androgen receptors, the oestrogen receptor itself can account for the localization seen after the injection of 3H-oestradiol.This research was supported in part by US PHS Grant No. NS12933NIH Career Development Awardee No. NS00164The expert technical assistance of Ms. Riki Ison and Ms. Linda Furr is gratefully acknowledged. 相似文献

Summary The rat hypothalamus was studied at the light microscopic level with the use of single and double immunocytochemical staining methods. It was shown that the rat supraoptic and paraventricular hypothalamic nuclei, and their accessory neurosecretory nuclei, do not contain magnocellular somatostatin neurons. The distribution of the hypothalamic parvocellular somatostatin cells is described. The parvocellular component of the rat hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus is, at least partly, composed of somatostatin cells: they form a fairly well circumscribed periventricular cell mass. The rat suprachiasmatic nuclei contain separate somatostatin neurons and vasopressin neurons. Scattered somatostatin cells are present in the entire arcuate nucleus. In addition to the periventricular somatostatin cells located in the preopticanterior hypothalamic area and in the arcuate nucleus, the rat hypothalamus also contains numerous scattered somatostatin cells located distant from the third ventricle.This investigation was supported by a grant from the Belgian Nationaal Fonds voor Geneeskundig Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek 相似文献

Summary Light microscopic autoradiography was performed subsequent to injection of tritiated amino acids into various parts of the amygdaloid body of the rat. Evidence is provided for two hitherto unreported projections of the amygdala: from the medial amygdaloid nucleus to the contralateral premamillary nuclei and from the central amygdaloid nucleus to the mesencephalic central grey. The functional implications of these findings are discussed. 相似文献

Summary The inferior alveolar nerve was unilaterally resected in 30-day-old mice; other animals were unilaterally sham-operated. At 15, 30, 60, 90, or 150 days after surgery, the mice were injected with 2Ci of 3H-proline (sp. act. 1.0 Ci/mM) per g of body weight and killed 15, 30, or 60 min later. Autoradiographs were prepared from 5m decalcified sagittal sections of mandibles and grain counts made over periosteal osteoblasts mesial to the first molar. In denervated mandibles, osteoblasts incorporated less isotope compared to controls with differences being maximal at the early intervals. These differences became attenuated with time, possibly due to an intrinsic compensatory mechanism, secondary to neurotrophic regulation.Supported in part by NSF grant GU-3566 相似文献

Summary Sympathectomy was carried out in rats by injections of guanethidine-sulfate from birth to 14 days of age. At 45 days of age, the activity of osteoblastic cells was monitored by 3H-proline autoradiography. Effectiveness of sympathectomy was verified by light-microscopic examination of superior cervical and celiac ganglia. Grain counts over periosteal osteoblasts of the femoral diaphysis and osteoblasts mesial to the first molar in the mandible demonstrated a significantly reduced uptake of 3H-proline in the sympathectomized rats. The data provide direct evidence of sympathetic influence on osteoblastic activity and suggest that sympathectomy may result in the loss of a trophic influence which is important in the regulation of osteogenesis.Supported by N.I.D.R. grant DEO 4557 (R.M.K.), N.I.H. grant 5-SO1RR-5373 to K.U.M.C., and N.I.H. grant RR-05332 to N.Y.U.

Summary The rate of 3H-thymidine incorporation into different parts of the renal proximal tubule of female sticklebacks treated with methyltestosterone was investigated using high-speed scintillation autoradiography. The results are compared with those from normal males before or after mucous transformation of the kidney. Labelled cells are observed in all parts of the proximal tubule, with marked variations from one segment to another. They are numerous in part 2 of the proximal tubule, particularly in the distal region. Male sex hormones affect the labelling rate in all parts of the nephron, especially in the distal region of part 2 of the proximal tubule. In that particular area, new tubule formation by budding is observed in some individuals, but this process does not appear to be a general one. Correlation between the frequency of these figures and the time of treatment could not be established. Comparing the action of sex hormones in females with that in males reveals a difference in reactivity in the proximal zone of part 2 of the proximal tubule, where methyltestosterone has a strong action in females; in contrast, in mature and immature males, only a few labelled cells are present in this region.It is concluded that kidney enlargement during the breeding season does not result only from a swelling of cells belonging to part 2 of the proximal tubule, as was generally believed, but also from a lengthening or even a proliferation of the proximal tubules, induced by an increase in mitotic activity controlled by male sex hormones.
Résumé L'incorporation de thymidine tritiée dans les tubules proximaux du rein est étudiée par autoradiographie rapide chez des Epinoches femelles préalablement traitées par la méthyltestostérone. Les résultats sont comparés avec ceux obtenus chez des mâles normaux ayant ou non développé un rein muqueux. Des cellules marquées sont présentes à tous les niveaux des tubules proximaux, mais leur nombre varie considérablement d'un segment à l'autre. Elles sont les plus nombreuses dans la seconde partie du tubule proximal, particulièrement dans sa région distale. Le taux de marquage est modifié dans toutes les régions du néphron, mais les variations sont les plus intenses dans la région distale de la seconde partie du tubule proximal, où l'on observe parfois la formation de nouveaux tubules par bourgeonnement. La comparaison des résultats obtenus dans les deux sexes fait apparaître une différence de réactivité au niveau de la zone proximale de la seconde partie du tubule proximal, où la méthyltestostérone agit fortement chez les femelles, alors qu'elle n'exerce pas d'effet notable chez les mâles.L'augmentation de volume du rein chez le mâle lors de la période de reproduction ne résulte donc pas uniquement d'un gonflement des cellules de la seconde partie du tubule proximal, comme on le pensait généralement. Des phénomènes mitotiques interviennent également dans ce processus, sous l'influence des hormones sexuelles mâles, qui conduisent à un allongement, voire à une multiplication des tubules proximaux.相似文献

A population of neuronal cell bodies and their fiber pathways have been elucidated within the ovine hypothalamus. The immunoreactive neurons were located in the anterior and dorsal hypothalamus interspersed throughout the paraventricular nucleus. These perikarya were only observed when an antiserum that was generated against the C-terminal of CRF was employed. A dense fiber projection traversed the medial-basal hypothalamus and ended within the palisade-contact zone of the median eminence and neural stem. Fibers were revealed by antisera generated against both the N-terminal and the C-terminal of CRF. Antisera pre-absorbed with synthetic CRF failed to yield immunoreactivity. 相似文献

Summary In autoradiographies of substantia nigra in rat, it has been observed that after intraventricular injections of 3H-dopamine and 3H-norepinephrine respectively the silvergrains are accumulated in nigra neurons and their dendritic branches. The incorporation was more pronounced in the case of 3H-norepinephrine than 3H-dopamine. This seems to indicate that exogenous norepinephrine may have stronger affinity to nigra neurons and their dendrites than exogenous dopamine. In addition, some 3H-dopamine and 3H-norepinephrine labelled nerve terminals were observed in axo-dendritic synapses. In contrast to these data, 3H-5HTP and 3H-5HT administration showed almost all silver grains accumulated in the neuropil when observed in light microscopic autoradiography. Electron micrographs further reveal that the incorporation of 3H-5HTP and 3H-5HT was mostly within axo-dendritic boutons with more frequent dense core vesicles. These data again strongly suggest that substantia nigra receives a large number of serotoninergic fibres forming axo-dendritic synapses which may play an important role in modulation of substantia nigra function.Dr. Parizek was on leave of absence from the Charles University, Faculty of Medicine, Hradec Králové, Czechoslovakia. 相似文献

Magnesium, the second most abundant cellular cation after potassium, is essential to regulate numerous cellular functions and enzymes, including ion channels, metabolic cycles, and signaling pathways, as attested by more than 1000 entries in the literature. Despite significant recent progress, however, our understanding of how cells regulate Mg2+ homeostasis and transport still remains incomplete. For example, the occurrence of major fluxes of Mg2+ in either direction across the plasma membrane of mammalian cells following metabolic or hormonal stimuli has been extensively documented. Yet, the mechanisms ultimately responsible for magnesium extrusion across the cell membrane have not been cloned. Even less is known about the regulation in cellular organelles. The present review is aimed at providing the reader with a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of the mechanisms enacted by eukaryotic cells to regulate cellular Mg2+ homeostasis and how these mechanisms are altered under specific pathological conditions. 相似文献

Summary Although the secretory products of the hypothalamoneurohypophyseal system are not glycoproteins, synthesis and migration of these macromolecules occur within its secretory neurons. After being labeled with 3H-fucose in the Golgi apparatus, newly synthesized glycoproteins migrate to secretion granules, lysosomes and the plasma membrane of the secretory neurons, as demonstrated by quantitative electron-microscopic radioautography. Secretion granules bearing newly synthesized glycoproteins migrate to the pars nervosa, the labeling pattern of which was studied in rats killed from 4 h to 14 days after the isotope injection. Most of the silver grains were observed to overly the secretory axons. Labeling of pituicytes was negligible and the number of silver grains over the perivascular spaces was about 10% of the total at certain postinjection intervals. In the secretory axons, most of the silver grains were seen to overly the secretion granules. The proportion of silver grains over the different portions of the secretory axons changed with time. At the longer intervals, the percentage of silver grains increased over the nerve swellings (including Herring bodies) and decreased concomitantly in the undilated portions of the axons and in the nerve endings. This labeling pattern conforms with observations on the secretion products. Water deprivation increased the release of neurosecretion as well as glycoproteins from the pars nervosa. However, glycoproteins inside the Herring bodies were not easily releasible. There was a parallel decrease in the amount of secretion granules and 3H-fucose-labeled glycoproteins indicating that the glycoproteins are predominantly a constituent of the granule content. Some newly synthesized glycoproteins were probably also used in the renewal of the axonal membrane. The labeling of smooth vesicles in nerve endings was discussed. In conclusion, most of the glycoproteins synthesized in the perikarion of the hypothalamic secretory neurons migrate inside secretion granules along the axon to the pars nervosa where they are secreted. 相似文献

Summary The hypothalamus of Japanese quail, Coturnix coturnix japonica, has been studied by means of the peroxidase-antiperoxidase immunocytochemical method, with the use of antibodies to synthetic neurotensin (NT). A number of immunoreactive neuronal perikarya occur in the medial preoptic nucleus of the rostral hypothalamus and a few in the accessory part of paraventricular nucleus and dorsal portion of the infundibular nucleus. Some of them correspond to the parvocellular neurons previously identified tentatively as neurosecretory (Mikami et al. 1975, 1976). Large numbers of immunoreactive neuronal fibers are found in the preoptic area, which extend as a remarkable fiber tract from this area to the ventral septal area and to the subfornical organ. A few immunoreactive fibers also extend ventrocaudally to the infundibular nucleus and to the neural lobe.This investigation was supported by Scientific Research Grants No. 556196 and No. 576176 from the Ministry of Education of Japan to Professor Mikami and Mr. Yamada 相似文献

Summary This paper deals with the ultrastructure of two types of intranuclear inclusions, nuclear bodies and membranous lamellar bodies, present in hypothalamic pericytes of intact adult rats. The nuclear bodies exhibited simple and granular forms, whereas the membranous lamellar bodies were entirely made up of myelin-like membrane whorls.The occurrence of these bodies in nuclei of pericytes has never been previously reported. The origin and functional meaning of such structures is discussed in the light of recent ultrastructural and biochemical studies on nuclear inclusions. 相似文献

Summary Fucose-3H was injected into the cerebral ventricle of rats that were killed at several time intervals after injection. Semi-thin sections of the supraoptic nucleus and neurohypophysis were processed for radioautography and analysed quantitatively. Silver grains indicating the site of fucose-labeled glycoproteins were first located at the perinuclear region of the secretory neurons. The highest silver-grain density in these cells was observed at 2 h after injection, declining afterwards. Silver grains over the neurohypophysis were observed from 2 h on, reached a peak at 1 day after injection and decreased in the subsequent time intervals. The distributions of the silver grains over the neurohypophysis fitted Poissonian distributions and these were shown to be heterogeneous at the several time intervals. Pituicytes were not labeled. The percentage of silver grains over the Herring bodies increased with time. In rats deprived of water after fucose-3H injection there was a great increase in the release of labeled glycoproteins from the neurohypophysis. These results indicate that the glycoproteins synthesized by the secretory neurons of the hypothalamic nuclei are secreted in the neurohypophysis. 相似文献

Summary The cellular and subcellular distribution of radioactivity in the mouse thyroid gland different times (20 min — 8 hours) after intravenous administration of 3H-L-DOPA was studied by means of quantitative electron microscopic autoradiography.High concentrations of autoradiographic silver grains occur over parafollicular cells and adrenergic nerves while the labelling of follicular cells and lumina is low or absent and similar to the labelling of connective tissue cells at all observation times.Over the parafollicular cells high levels of radioactivity can be recorded already 20 min after administration of the labelled amino acid. The grain counts are highest at 1 hour and decrease then at 2.5 and 8 hours.The intracellular distribution of label is similar at all observation times; thus, the concentration of silver grains over the typical cytoplasmic granules of the parafollicular cells is 4–5 times higher compared to the concentration over the remainder of the cytoplasm and the nucleus.Treatment with a decarboxylase inhibitor prior to the injection of 3H-L-DOPA results in a low and uniform labelling of all thyroid cells. This finding, taken together with the observation that also pretreatment with reserpine abolishes the autoradiographic reaction over the cytoplasmic granules, gives strong support to the idea that the great majority of silver grains observed over parafollicular cells represents dopamine formed by decarboxylation of the labelled precursor.This study was supported by grant K71-12X-3352-01 from the Swedish Medical Research Council.

Summary Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) is a neurosecretory peptide that induces melanin concentration within teleost melanophores. Here, we characterized MCH-like substance in the rat brain by both an in vitro fish-scale melanophore bioassay and a radioimmunoassay with a salmon MCH antiserum that is directed toward the carboxy-terminus and requires the cyclic configuration for recognition. Furthermore, subcellular localization of the MCH in the rat brain was examined by immunocytochemistry using electron microscopy. We confirmed that MCH-immunoreactivity and MCH-bioactivity were present together in the same effluent fractions of the rat hypothalamic extracts by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). At electron microscopic level, MCH-immunoreactivity was located specifically in secretory granules in MCH-positive cell bodies confined to the hypothalamus with their neuronal processes projecting widely in the rat brain. Although full characterization of substance must await its isolation, our results strongly support the notion that rat MCH-like substance may be homologous but not identical to salmon MCH, and simultaneously may serve some neurotransmitter and/or neuromodulator role in the brain of the rat. 相似文献

Summary Neither homogenates nor frozen ovarian sections of rats aged 1, 5 and 7 days demonstrated specific binding of 125I-HCG. However, from day 10 to day 35, the homogenates could bind specifically, with an equilibrium association constant in the range of 0.9–2.7 × 1010 M–1. The binding capacity increased from 5.8 fmol/mg tissue at day 10 to 15.7 fmol/mg tissue at day 35.As revealed by autoradiography, the frozen ovarian sections from 10-day-old rats showed 125I-HCG binding localized over the interstitial and thecal tissues and, in the older age groups, also in the granulosa cells of follicles larger than 500 m in diameter.These results indicate that LH/HCG receptors appear in the rat ovary at the beginning of the second postnatal week, and that the interstitial cells are the main site of action of LH before puberty. 相似文献

A procedure was developed for the detection of 2′,3′-cyclic nucleotide 3′-phosphohydrolase in myelin. This assay was sufficiently sensitive to detect the low levels of 2′,3′-cyclic nucleotide 3′-phosphohydrolase in human erythrocytes. The 2′,3′-cyclic nucleotide 3′-phosphohydrolase of human erythrocytes was determined to be exclusively associated with the inner (cytosolic) side of the membrane. Leaky ghostsand resealed ghosts were assayed for 2′,3′-cyclic nucleotide 3′-phosphohydrolase, (Ca2+/Mg2+-ATPase, and acetylcholinesterase activity, and the 2′,3′-cyclic nucleotide 3′-phosphohydrolase profile is the same as that of the (Ca2+/Mg2+)-ATPase, an established inner membrane maker. 相似文献
