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

Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was used as a marker to study the effects of microtubule-disruptive drugs on uptake and cellular inactivation of exogenous material in cultures of embryonic chick chondrocytes. HRP was ingested by fluid endocytosis, and intracellular enzyme activity subsequently diminished exponentially with time. Cytochemically, reaction product for HRP was found in vesicles often located close to the dictyosomes of the Golgi complex. Colchicine and vinblastine caused disappearance of cytoplasmic microtubules and disorganization of the Golgi complex with concomitant reduction in the cellular uptake of HRP to about half of that in the controls. Lumicolchicine, on the other hand, left cell fine structure and HRP uptake unaffected. These results indicate that microtubules are of considerable importance in the process of fluid endocytosis in cultured chondrocytes although the exact mechanism remains to be elucidated. The rate of intracellular inactivation of ingested HRP was not affected by colchicine or vinblastine. Double-labeling experiments with colloidal thorium dioxide and HRP likewise indicated that fusion of endocytic vesicles and lysosomes is not dependent on intact microtubules. The total specific activities of the three lysosomal enzymes examined were weakly or not at all changed by treatment of the cultures with colchicine or vinblastine. It therefore seems unlikely that microtubular organization plays an important role in the production or degradation of lysosomal enzymes in cultured chondrocytes. 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

Summary The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of colchicine and vinblastine on the localization of alkaline phosphatase (AlPase) in rat duodenum in relation to structural changes. AlPase was localized on the membranes of rough endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi stacks, cytoplasmic vesicles, microvilli, on lateral plasma membranes, and in some lysosomes of the duodenal epithelial cells of rats treated with either lumicolchicine or 0.9% NaCl alone. Microvilli were most intensely stained, and AlPase-positive Golgi stacks were regularly distributed in the supranuclear regions. After colchicine treatment, microvilli were shortened and the staining intensity became weaker, whereas basal as well as lateral plasma membranes showed stronger staining. The AlPase-positive microvilli appeared not only on the luminal surfaces, but also on the baso-lateral plasma membranes and even on the surfaces of characteristic intracytoplasmic cysts. Golgi stacks became smaller and their distribution became less localized, and the staining intensity of the Golgi stacks became weaker. AlPase localization in rats treated with vinblastine was almost identical with that of rats treated with colchicine. Thus, colchicine and vinblastine appeared to have elicited a disorientation of intracellular transport of intestinal AlPase by inhibiting microtubule organization. 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

Influence of colchicine and vinblastine on the Golgi complex and matrix deposition in chondrocyte aggregates : An ultrastructural study 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Fetal guinea-pig epiphyseal chondrocytes were isolated enzymatically, aggregated, and the aggregates maintained in organ culture. As revealed by light and electron microscopy, the cultures produced a typical cartilaginous matrix, but no calcification occurred. Exposure of aggregating cells, or preformed aggregates, to colchicine or vinblastihe at 10−5 M concentration led to disappearance of the microtubules, dissociation of the Golgi complex into single dictyosomes, and clustering of lysosomes. Thus, in treated cells the dictyosomes with accompanying vesicular structures were dispersed throughout the cytoplasm, whereas they were localized in a well-defined juxtanuclear region in control cells. The number and size of the cisternae forming a dictyosome were often reduced. Cells treated with vinblastine displayed macrotubules and an increased number of phagosomes. Both drugs reduced the deposition of intercellular matrix. In cells first exposed to either of the drugs for 2 or 5 days and then transferred to fresh medium for 3 or 6 days, the microtubules reappeared, the Golgi complex regained its normal appearance, and the amount of matrix increased. These findings are discussed in view of present concepts of the role of microtubules in cell secretion. 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

Synopsis Small, rounded vesicles with a dense core of amorphous material were observed in all cell types in the young rat aorta, that is, endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts. They were particularly numerous in the Golgi complex but were also found in the cell periphery. The content of the vesicles had staining characteristics identical to those of elastin. Material of the same type was also found in cisternae on the maturing side of the dictyosomes and in vesicles budding from them. Reaction product for thiamine pyrophosphatase was present in both these structures, indicating that the Golgi complex is responsible for the formation of the dense-cored vesicles. This was further supported by the absence of reaction product for acid phosphatase in the cisternae and in the vesicles. Moreover, no uptake of exogenous markers was noted in the latter. On the basis of these findings it is suggested that the dense-cored vesicles have a secretory function and contain precursors of elastin.Elongated vesicles or profiles containing collagen fibrils were observed in smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts. In the cell periphery, these vesicles were often found to communicate with the extracellular space. Further inside the cells, they showed a close spatial relationship to the Golgi complex. Neither thiamine pyrophosphatase nor acid phosphatase activity was demonstrated in the elongated vesicles. Like the plasma membrane, their limiting membrane was positively stained for alkaline phosphatase. On the basis of these findings and the absence of uptake of exogenous markers in them, it is suggested that the elongated vesicles represent a means for collagen secretion in the growing aortic wall. The Golgi complex is believed to be involved in the transfer of collagen to these vesicles. 相似文献

Effects of antimicrotubular agents on the fine structure of the Golgi complex in embryonic chick osteoblasts 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Embryonic chick frontal bones were cultured in the presence of colchicine or vinblastine and subsequently examined by tranmission electron microscopy. In control cultures the osteoblasts showed a large Golgi complex consisting of dictyosomes arranged in a well-defined juxtanuclear area. Microtubules were particularly numerous within this Golgi area although they could be observed throughout the cytoplasm. Colchicine and vinblastine caused the disappearance of cytoplasmic microtubules, while bundles of 10 nm diameter filaments appeared more frequently. In addition, cell polarity was lost and the Golgi complex became disorganized, with the dictyosomes randomly dispersed in the cytoplasm and showing a decreased number of cisternae and an increased number of vacuoles, the latter generally lacking stainable material. Increased number of autophagosomes were also noted. These findings indicate that microtubules function in the organization of the Golgi complex in osteoblasts. In view of the well documented role of this organelle system in collagen secretion it is suggested that previously observed secretory disturbances produced by antimicrotubular drugs may be due to a defective transfer of material to the dictyosomes and/or a defect in the packaging and transport of such material away from them. 相似文献

Summary Motoneurons in the spinal cords of exercised mice were investigated for acid phosphatase and thiamine pyrophosphatase by the electron microscope. In the control animals the acid phosphatase has been localized in lysosomes and in elongated vacuolar structures of the Golgi apparatus. The TPP-ase appears in vacuoles, vesicles and flattened cisternae of the Golgi apparatus.In conformity with a time of swimming the increase of TPP-ase and acid phosphatase activities was observed in the motoneurons of exercised animals. The authors suppose that lysosomes in the motoneurons of the exercised animals are formed in the Golgi zone, which enlarges according to the time of swimming. 相似文献

Summary The resorbing region of uncalcified cartilage in the tibia of embryonic chick was studied using 3H-proline autoradiography, histochemistry, and horseradish-peroxidase tracers.At the cartilage-bone marrow interface, two kinds of cells (A and B) were identified. Type-A cells were elongated, contacted the matrix of the uncalcified cartilage directly, and possessed extensive rough endoplasmic reticulum, one or two juxtanuclear Golgi apparatus and cell membranes exhibiting prominent alkaline phosphatase activity. Type-B cells were round to oval, mononucleate (occasionally binucleate), and contained abundant mitochondria, vacuoles and vesicles, well-developed Golgi apparatus, and lysosomes. The lysosomes and the majority of vacuoles and Golgi lamellae of these cells showed prominent acid phosphatase activity. Type-B cells accumulated more horseradish-peroxidase reaction product in their vacuoles and vesicles than type-A cells. Thick, banded collagen fibrils were occasionally found in the matrix of the resorbing surface. 3H-proline autoradiography revealed small numbers of grains at the cartilage-bone marrow interface.These findings suggest that type-A cells have osteoblastic and type-B cells osteoclastic properties and are precursor cells of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, respectively. The appearance of a mineral phase in the resorbing cartilage is probably important for the differentiation of these cells. 相似文献

Colchicine administered to adult rats at a dosage of 0.5 mg/100 g of body weight effected a disorganization of the Golgi apparatus in pancreatic acinar cells. The results obtained after various periods of treatment (10 min to 6 h) showed (a) changes in all components of the Golgi complex, and (b) occurrence of large vacuoles that predominated in cytoplasmic areas outside the Golgi region. The alterations in Golgi stacks concerned elements of the proximal and distal side: (a) accumulation of transport vesicles, (b) formation of small, polymorphic secretion granules, and (c) alterations in the cytochemical localization of enzymes and reaction product after osmification. Transport vesicles accumulated and accompanied short, dilated cisternae, which lack mostly the reaction products of thiamine pyrophosphatase, inosine diphosphatase, and acid phosphatase, and osmium deposits after prolonged osmification. After 4 to 6 h of treatment, accumulated transport vesicles occupied extensive cellular areas; stacked cisternae were not demonstrable in these regions. The changes on the distal Golgi side included GERL elements: condensing vacuoles were diminished; they were substituted by small, polymorphic zymogen granules, which appeared to be formed by distal Golgi cisternae and by rigid lamellae. Unusually extended coated regions covered condensing vacuoles, rigid lamellae, and polymorphic secretion granules. A cytochemical distinction between Golgi components and GERL was possible neither in controls nor after colchicine treatment. The cytochemical alterations in Golgi components were demonstrable 20-30 min following administration of colchicine; at 45 min, initial morphological changes--augmentation of transport vesicles and formation of polymorphic zymogen granules--became apparent. 20 min after administration of colchicine, conspicuous groups of large vacuoles occurred. They were located mostly in distinct fields between cisternae of the endoplasmic reticulum, and were accompanied by small osmium--reactive vesicles. Stacked cisternae were not demonstrable in these fields. Vacuoles and vesicles were devoid of reaction products of thiamine pyrophosphatase, inosine diphosphatase, and acid phosphatase. The results provide evidence that formation of stacked Golgi cisternae is impaired after colchicine treatment. The colchicine--induced disintegration of the Golgi complex suggests a regulatory function of microtubules in the organization of the Golgi apparatus. 相似文献

Kupffer cells are the sinusoidal macrophages of the liver. Using ultrastructural phosphatase cytochemical methods, we examined the relationship between the Golgi apparatus, GERL, and lysosomes of Kupffer cells in fetal rat livers identified, in part, by their ability to phagocytize intravenously injected latex spheres. Thiamine pyrophosphatase (TPPase) activity was localized to the inner Golgi saccules and some vesicles in the Golgi region but not to GERL. A TPPase-like activity, demonstrable in lysosomes, was abolished by sodium fluoride but not suppressed by the alkaline phosphatase inhibitors L-cysteine and L-p-bromotetramisole. Acid phosphatase (AcPase) was localized by GERL, some coated vesicles, and in lysosomes, but not to the Golgi stacks. Continuities between GERL and lysosomes were observed. Phagosomes containing internalized latex spheres received TPPase and AcPase sequentially. TPPase was localized in phagosomes immediately after latex administration. AcPase activity was not found here until at least 10 minutes following the injection of the particulates. Our findings indicate that Kupffer cell lysosomes are derived from GERL, but also suggest that phagosomes may receive material packaged by the Golgi apparatus as well as GERL. 相似文献

This investigation focuses on the identification, distribution, and transport of intracellular membrane systems during mitosis. The membranes of the Golgi apparatus can be identified cytochemically by staining for acid phosphatase (acPase) and thiamine pyrophosphatase (TPPase) activity. Using this approach we are able to study the disintegration of the Golgi apparatus during mitosis and to follow the dislocation as well as the organized reappearance of Golgi elements after the completion of mitosis. We are able to demonstrate that during mitosis the activity of both enzymes is strong enough to react with the substrate applied during the staining procedure. Furthermore, we observe a characteristic pattern of membrane distribution in mitotic cells. During interphase the TPPase reaction is characteristically limited to one or two cisternae of a dictyosomal stack. The acPase reaction stains the membranes of the total stack, of the GERL, of some vesicles and cisternae near the dictyosomes and lysosomes. After the mitotic breakdown of the dictyosomal stacks the forming vesicles still stain positively and are distributed over the entire cytoplasm. At late anaphase and early telophase the enzyme activity occurs not only in the reconstituting dictyosomes but also in the nuclear envelope and in some ER cisternae. The extended spectrum of membrane structures indicating Golgi enzyme activity becomes obvious. This phenomenon favors the idea that at least some functions of the Golgi apparatus persist during mitosis. 相似文献

Summary The lysosomal system of the two types of synoviocytes (A and S) from the knee joint of normal rat synovial membrane was studied by electron-microscopic acid phosphatase cytochemistry. In random sections of the synovial intima lysosomes were more often encountered in the A-cell profiles than in the S-cell profiles. Characteristically, type-A synoviocytes showed many large and medium-sized lysosomes the cytochemical appearance of which varied considerably. No acid phosphatase activity was detectable in the cisternae of the Golgi apparatus or in the Golgi vesicles. In type-S synoviocytes the lysosomes were smaller, and more uniform in cytochemical appearance. Heavy deposits of acid phosphatase reaction product were constantly demonstrated in cisternae of the Golgi apparatus as well as in smooth-walled Golgi vesicles in type-S cells. The findings that type-A and type-S synoviocytes show distinctly different organization of the lysosomal system indicate that the roles of the lysosomes in these two types of cells may be different. 相似文献

Summary The short term effects of refeeding on the Golgi apparatus and lysosomes of the rat exocrine pancreas were evaluated by ultrastructural, morphometric and cytochemical methods. Ten minutes after refeeding, there was a significant enlargement of Golgi cisternae and a significant increase, compared with the controls, in the number of condensing vacuoles and lysosomes. These modifications were accompanied by the appearance of acid phosphatase activity in stacked Golgi cisternae (as well as GERL) of some cells. One hour after refeeding, there were about the same numbers of condensing vacuoles and lysosomes as in the control; Golgi cisternae were still significantly enlarged, compared with the controls, but they were no longer reactive for acid phosphatase. In both fasting and refed animals, acid phosphatase activity was demonstrable in tubular lysosomes.The data are interpreted in terms both of membrane disposal and recycling, leading to enhanced formation of zymogen granules, during physiologically stimulated secretion. 相似文献

3H-fucose was injected intravenously or intravitreously into albino rats. After time intervals of 10, 40, and 50 min, 1, 1.5, and 4 hr, 1, 3, and 7 days, and 1, 2, and 4 weeks after injection, the animals were sacrificed by intracardiac perfusion with glutaraldehyde. Samples of the ciliary body were prepared for light and electron microscope radioautography. Light microscope autoradiographs showed that the cells of both the inner and outer layers of ciliary epithelium actively incorporated 3H-fucose label in a reaction that peaked in intensity at 4 hr after injection, and then progressively declined. Electron microscope radioautographs revealed that, at early time intervals, most of the label was localized to the Golgi apparatus. With time, the plasma membrane of both cell types became increasingly labeled, and accounted for 60-70% of the total silver grains at 4 hr after injection. Adjacent to the basal cell surface of the inner layer cells, the fibers of the zonula became increasingly labeled from 1.5 hr onwards, providing strong evidence that these cells secrete glycoproteins to the zonula. When vinblastine was administered 30 min before 3H-fucose injection, followed by sacrifice 1.5 hr later, a much larger proportion of label remained localized to the Golgi apparatus than in controls, and the plasma membrane and zonula were much less labeled. These results suggest that, as documented in other cell types, microtubules may play a role in the intracellular transport of membrane and secretory glycoproteins in these cells. 相似文献

Plasma lipoproteins (and other ligands) are endocytosed by hepatocytes and appear in multivesicular bodies (MVBs) in the Golgi-lysosome region of the cell prior to their degradation. We have isolated MVB fractions from livers of estradiol-treated rats, permitting studies of their properties (Hornick et al. 1985). Here we report our cytochemical studies of lysosomal enzyme activity in partially and highly purified MVB fractions and in MVBs in hepatocytes in situ. Only about 15% of partially or highly purified MVBs were positive for acid phosphatase and arylsulfatase, consistent with the prelysosomal nature of this compartment. Partially purified MVB fractions contained small round vesicles, 70-120 nm in diameter, which stained intensely for these enzymes; occasionally these vesicles appeared to fuse with MVBs, suggesting that these structures are primary lysosomes. Such stained vesicles were rarely seen in highly purified MVB preparations. Acid phosphatase reaction product with cerium as capture reagent appeared as uniform precipitates surrounding endocytosed plasma lipoproteins in positively stained MVBs. Arylsulfatase reaction product, however, appeared as distinctive arc or plaque-like deposits just inside the MVB-limiting membrane, often in continuity with intense reaction product contained in a fusing primary lysosome. Similar putative primary lysosomes were occasionally observed in isolated, "intact" Golgi fractions from the same livers. Similar histochemical reactivities of MVBs and putative primary lysosomes were observed in thin sections of hepatocytes in situ. These observations support the conclusion that, in hepatocytes, MVBs represent the immediate prelysosomal compartment in the endocytic pathway of macromolecular catabolism, and suggest that MVBs are converted to secondary lysosomes by direct fusion with primary lysosomes arising from closely adjacent Golgi compartments. 相似文献

To investigate the origin and nature of vesicles found within multivesicular bodies (mvb), the cytochemical staining properties of mvb vesicles were compared with those of other cytoplasmic vesicles, i.e. those associated with the Golgi complex and endocytic vesicles found near the apical cell surface. Rat epididymal tissue was stained in unbuffered OsO4 for 40–48 hr, and the distribution of stain was compared to that of reaction products for acid phosphatase (AcPase) to mark lysosomal vesicles, or thiamine pyrophosphatase (TPPase) to mark certain Golgi vesicles, or infused with peroxidase (HRPase) to demonstrate endocytic vesicles. Mvb vesicles were stained only by OsO4; AcPase, TPPase, and HRPase reaction products stained the mvb matrix. OsO4 also stained certain vesicles along the convex surface of the Golgi complex. The findings suggest that mvb vesicles in epididymal epithelium are not lysosomes and are not involved in protein uptake. The majority of these vesicles have cytochemical reactions in common with vesicles located along the convex surface of the Golgi complex and may be derived therefrom. A minority are derived from the mvb-limiting membrane. 相似文献

Mechanisms of autophagic proteolysis in the liver have been studied using vinblastine. Vinblastine stimulated degradation by induced autophagy in a dose-related fashion [1, 2]. Insulin partially inhibits the increased rate of degradation and the formation of autophagosomes as well as the lysosomal fragility induced by vinblastine. Insulin has little effect, however, on basal, non-induced degradation rates. Vinblastine-induced autophagy enhances the degradation of both ‘old’ and ‘newly’ synthesized proteins and is therefore in that sense a random process. The administration of high doses of colchicine also augments proteolysis. This effect is attributed to increase in autophagy. The very nascent vinblastine-induced autophagosomes appear to lack hydrolytic enzymes and acquire them only after fusion with lysosomes. The autophagolysosomal population induced by vinblastine is heterogeneous with respect to shape, size, content and density. Isolated secondary lysosomes (‘residual bodies’) lacking morphologically recognizable sequestered membranes (degradable substrate) show no release of degradation products. Autophagosomes fuse with secretory vesicles originating from the Golgi apparatus. 相似文献
