Dividing cells of Tetrahymena pyriformis were observed by transmission electron microscopy for signs of morphogenesis of cortical structures. The earliest stage of basal body development observed was of a short cylinder of nine single tubules connected by an internal cartwheel structure. This is set perpendicular to the mature basal body at its anterior proximal surface under the transverse microtubules and next to the basal microtubules. Sequential stages show that the single tubules become triplet tubules and that the "probasal bodies" then elongate and tilt toward the organism's surface while maintaining a constant distance of 75–100 mµ with the "parent." The new basal body after it is fully extended contacts the pellicle, and then assumes a parallel orientation with and moves anterior to the parent basal body. The electron-opaque core in the lumen of the basal body and accessory structures around its outer proximal surface appear after the developing basal body has elongated. These accessory structures associating with their counterparts from other basal bodies and with the longitudinal microtubules may play a role in the final positioning of basal bodies and thus in the maintenance of cortical patterns. Observations on a second sequence of basal body formation suggest that the oral anlage arises by multiple duplication of somatic basal bodies. 相似文献

Summary The volumetric density of most cytoplasmic organelles in the segmenting ovum of the rat was determined by morphometric techniques described by Weibel, at the 1-, 2-, 4-, and 8-cell stages, and at the early and late blastocyst stages.During the course of cleavage, the volumetric density of mitochondria remained practically unchanged. The volumetric density of the Golgi complex was too small to permit assessment of the differences between the individual stages of development. Significant changes were found in both granular and agranular endoplasmic reticulum, secondary lysosomes, multivesicular bodies, lamellar structures and lipid droplets. Granular endoplasmic reticulum was first observed as late as the 8-cell ovum stage and its volumetric density increased further in the early and late blastocysts. The relative volume of agranular endoplasmic reticulum was highest in the 1-cell ovum and decreased during the course of cleavage. The same is true for multivesicular bodies. The volumetric density of secondary lysosomes increased during cleavage, reaching the highest values in the 8-cell ovum. Lamellar structures were the most voluminous part of the cytoplasm of the segmenting ovum at all stages. Their volumetric density, however, decreased during the course of cleavage. Lipid droplets occur in very small quantities in the 1- to 4-cell ova, but at later stages their volumetric density increased.Our findings underline the importance of acquiring quantitative information about changes in cell organelle populations for assessing morphological and functional relationships during the early stages of cleavage of the ovum. 相似文献

Summary Studies of differentiating xylem inSalix fragilis L. show the immediate cambial derivatives to be ultrastructurally similar. The Golgi apparatus is important at all stages of wall synthesis, possibly producing (amongst other substances) hemicellulose material which is carried to the wall in vesicles or multivesicular bodies. The endoplasmic reticulum also contributes one or more components to the developing wall: at some stages during differentiation the endoplasmic reticulum produces electron opaque bodies which appear to be guided towards the wall by microtubules. Compact structures formed from concentric membranes (myelin-like bodies) have been found joined to rough endoplasmic reticulum, but their presence is not explained.Two types of plasmalemma elaboration occur: invagination of the plasmalemma itself to form vesicles which may contain cytoplasmic material; and vesicles between the plasmalemma and cell wall which are the result of single vesicles or multivesicular bodies traversing the plasmalemma. Both systems provide a means for transporting cytoplasmic material across the plasmalemma.Microtubules have been seen associated with all vesicles derived from the cytoplasm which appear to be moving towards the wall. The presence of microtubules may generally be explained in terms of orientation of vesicles, even if they also happen coincidentally to parallel the supposed orientation of microfibrils in the wall itself. It is possible to resolve connections between the microtubules and the plasmalemma. 相似文献

Expression of L1 and N-CAM cell adhesion molecules during development of the mouse olfactory system 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The expression of the neural adhesion molecules L1 and N-CAM has been studied in the embryonic and early postnatal olfactory system of the mouse in order to gain insight into the function of these molecules during development of a neural structure which retains neuronal turnover capacities throughout adulthood. N-CAM was slightly expressed and L1 was not significantly expressed in the olfactory placode on Embryonic Day 9, the earliest stage tested. Rather, N-CAM was strongly expressed in the mesenchyme underlying the olfactory placode. In the developing nasal pit, L1 and N-CAM were detectable in the developing olfactory epithelium, but not in regions developing into the respiratory epithelium. At early developmental stages, expression of the so-called embryonic form of N-CAM (E-N-CAM) coincides with the expression of N-CAM, whereas at later developmental stages and in the adult it is restricted to a smaller number of sensory cell bodies and axons, suggesting that the less adhesive embryonic form is characteristic of morphogenetically dynamic neuronal structures. Moreover, E-N-CAM is highly expressed at contact sites between olfactory axons and their target cells in the glomeruli of the olfactory bulb. L1 and N-CAM 180, the component of N-CAM that accumulates at cell contacts by interaction with the cytoskeleton are detectable as early as the first axons extend toward the primordial olfactory bulb. L1 remains prominent throughout development on axonal processes, both at contacts with other axons and with ensheathing cells. Contrary to N-CAM 180 which remains detectable on differentiating sensory neuronal cell bodies, L1 is only transiently expressed on these and is no longer detectable on primary olfactory neuronal cell bodies in the adult. Furthermore, whereas throughout development L1 has a molecular form similar to that seen in other parts of the developing and adult central nervous systems, N-CAM and, in particular, N-CAM 180 retain their highly sialylated form at least partially throughout all ages studied. These observations suggest that E-N-CAM and N-CAM 180 are characteristic of developmentally active structures and L1 may not only be involved in neurite outgrowth, but also in stabilization of contacts among fasciculating axons and between axons and ensheathing cells, as it has previously been found in the developing peripheral nervous system. 相似文献

Summary F-actin distribution during male meiosis in Magnolia soulangeana was studied by means of fluorescence microscopy following staining with rhodaminephalloidin. Actin filaments were observed to persist during all of the developmental stages of meiosis. Four main types of configurations were recognized: (1) peripheral filaments underlying the plasma membrane (cortical network); (2) filaments dispersed throughout the inner cytoplasm (central cytoplasmic network); (3) filaments associated with the meiotic spindles; (4) filaments associated with the phragmoplasts. The cortical and central cytoplasmic filaments exhibited different behaviours. Whereas the cortical network remained present in an apparently unchanged form during all of the meiotic stages, the central cytoplasmic filaments, although they never completely disappeared, were reduced and concentrated around the nucleus at the end of prophase. At metaphase, fluorescent spindles consisting of filament bundles running from pole to pole or being interrupted at the equatorial zone could be seen. At the end of both the first and second division of meiosis, fluorescent bands of filaments (disks) appeared at the level of the cell division planes (equatorial regions) where cleavage furrows were constituted. These cleavage furrows did not form when floral buds were cultivated in a cytochalasin-containing medium. Our results show that during microsporogenesis in M. soulangeana the actin filaments constitute a highly complex and dynamic system that is involved in particular in cytoplasm cleavage of the meiocytes. 相似文献

Studies on the Macronucleus of Paramecium aurelia. II. Development of Macronuclear Anlagen 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
SYNOPSIS. The development of the macronuclear Anlagen of Paramecium aurelia was studied by means of electron, light and ultra-violet microscopy of timed stages following conjugation. In the youngest Anlagen, no differentiated structures could be made out, and staining reactions gave little or no indications of the presence of DNA or RNA. As development proceeds, a number of conspicuous "sponge-like" RNA-containing bodies surrounded by a "matrix" containing DNA can be seen. Eventually these RNA bodies develop DNA centres and apparently disintegrate, yielding the "large bodies" characteristic of the mature macronucleus, and the "small bodies" then also appear. The relation of these observations to interpretations of the structural elements in the macronucleus is discussed. 相似文献

In this paper we have traced the evolution of the cytoplasmic organelles in the female germinal cell of Pisum sativum L., from the beginning of meiosis to the early stages of the maturing megaspore, in order to correlate the morphological changes with the physiological aspects of megasporogenesis.A process of intense cytoplasmic vacuolation takes place in the megaspore mother cell (MMC) during prophase I, probably proceeding from the smooth endoplasmic reticulum and dictyosomes; it results in the formation of big vacuoles, which play a role in MMC polarization. By means of this polarization most plastids and mitochondria are incorporated into the functional megaspore at the end of meiosis.There are plastid and mitochondria cycles which consist of dedifferentiation followed by redifferentiation, During these cycles a transient morphology appears, called a cup-shaped form, which we interpret as an expression of low organelle activity.The wall of the MMC thickens throughout megasporogenesis and loses its plasmodesmata during middle prophase I. The ribosome population is reduced during prophase I and then restored during the early stages of the megaspore maturing process, as shown by the quantitative study that we have carried out. The nucleolar cytoplasmic bodies play a part in this restoring process. These bodies have a special morphology and appear to be originated from the activity of the nucleolar organizing region (NOR) during nucleolar disorganization in prophase I.We think that this cytoplasmic evolution is a response to nuclear genic recombination, in order to provide the most adequate expression of the zygote genome.Abbreviations EDTA

By means of electron microscopy at various stages of pre- and postnatal ontogenesis in rats and mice intercellular connections of smooth myocytes, included into the bronchial wall composition, have been investigated. Interaction of the smooth myocytes is ensured with numerous and various types of specialized connections. Certain modifications of the nexus structure are described, they, perhaps, depend on the level of conformational changes of connexons--protein molecules, included into its composition and responsible for intensity of transfer of ions and metabolites. Between the smooth myocytes a contact, that was not previously described, is revealed. It is presented with a complex, formed by vesicular structures, concentrated in the area of oriented in parallel electron opaque membrane area of the interacting cells. Owing to the presence of punctate contacts, not only at early stages of development, but also in the definitive tissue, it is possible to consider them as an independent type of specialized connections, and not as immature forms of gap junctions. There are not any essential differences in the structure and distribution of the contacts during the time of the investigation. 相似文献

(1) Embryonic cells of sea urchins were made permeable by treating them with glycerol solution for the purpose of allowing penetration of macromolecules into the cell. With the use of such permeabilized cells, several kinds of fluorescent dye-labeled lectins were introduced into the cell, and it was found that some lectins showed notable affinity with the nucleus as compared with cytoplasmic structures. (2) Isolated chromatin was incubated with several kinds of fluorescent dye-labeled lectins in vitro, and the amount of lectins bound with the chromatin was measured by fluorometry. By means of this method, the lectin-binding capacity of chromatin was estimated and compared at various stages of development. It was found that lectins could be classified into three groups according to the mode of binding with the chromatin: (a) Extent of binding increased notably at the gastrula stage (Con A and RCA-120); (b) extent of binding showed a temporary decrease at the gastrula stage (TTA); and (c) very low level of binding was maintained throughout all stages, and no particular change was observed at any stage of development (WGA, SBA, and UEA-I). (3) These facts seem to suggest that lectin-binding components are contained in sea urchin chromatin, and that drastic changes occur in these components of chromatin at the stage of gastrulation. It was proposed that the lectin-binding components such as proteoglycans and glycoproteins may play regulatory roles in embryonic chromatin at early stages of development. 相似文献

Localization of proteasomes in spermatozoa from patients with varicocele-associated sterility was studied by means of immunolabeling with the MPC21 monoclonal antibody detecting the C3 subunit of the 20S proteasome. The reaction was visualized for electron microscopy using the secondary Nano-Gold-coupled antibody with Gold-Enhancement in pre-embedding technique. We found that semen samples from varicocele patients contained a large amount of abnormal spermatozoa characterized by the presence of dispersed chromatin and large residual bodies (cytoplasmic droplets) as well as spermatids at various stages of spermiogenesis. In normal spermatozoa, the immunolabeling was found in the acrosome, postacrosomal regions, nuclear vacuoles, in the neck and in the middle-piece as well as in the residual bodies, while chromatin remained unlabeled. In varicocele spermatozoa, the immunolabeling was also associated with chromatin and large residual bodies (cytoplasmic droplets). In contrast to normal, mature spermatozoa, the chromatin of the cells at earlier stages of spermiogenesis was strongly immunolabeled. The association of proteasomes with sperm chromatin and large residual bodies can be the sign of abnormality and disturbances in spermatogenesis associated with varicocele. 相似文献

Morphology and ultrastructure of Halprowia arthritidis, strain SR-1 (HSR), isolated from the synovial fluid of a patient with Reiter's syndrome, was studied in the membranes of the yolk sacs of the developing chick embryos and the L-cell culture. In acridine orange staining for light and fluorescent microscopy there was revealed intracellular cytoplasmic inclusions containing HSR structures at various stages of its reproduction characteristic of halprowia (chlamydia). The direct immunofluorescent method demonstrated the presence of a characteristic HSR antigen not only in the developed inclusions, but also at the early stages of infection, when the morphological HSR structures could not be found by light microscopy. The ultrastructure of the HSR inclusions and forms in the cycle of development (of the initial and elementary bodies) of the SR-1 strain was typical of other halprowia. A peculiar structure of a complex of cell wall and cytoplasmic membrane of the elementary body was described. Taking into consideration the biological characteristics of HSR revealed earlier it can be considered to be a typical representative of Halprowiales s. Chlamydiales. The data obtained on other halprowia, pointing out the fact that criteria of compactness and diffuseness of inclusions, the presence of absence of glycogen in the inclusions could not serve as taxonomic signs in classification of halrpowia, were confirmed on a model of the SR-1 studied. 相似文献

Basal structure and attachment of flagella in cells of Proteus vulgaris 总被引:18,自引:14,他引:4
Abram, Dinah (Purdue University, Lafayette, Ind.), Henry Koffler, and A. E. Vatter. Basal structure and attachment of flagella in cells of Proteus vulgaris. J. Bacteriol. 90:1337-1354. 1965.-The attachment of flagella to cells of Proteus vulgaris was studied electron microscopically with negatively stained and shadow-cast preparations of ghosts from standard cultures and from special cultures that produced "long forms." The flagellum, the basal portion of which is hooked, arises within the cell from a nearly spherical structure, 110 to 140 A in diameter. This structure appears to be associated with the cytoplasmic membrane; it may be a part of the membrane or a separate entity that lies just beneath the membrane. Flagella associated with cell walls free from cytoplasmic membrane frequently have larger bodies, 200 to 700 A in diameter, associated with their base. These structures probably consist at least partly of fragments of the cytoplasmic membrane, a portion of which folds around a smaller structure. Flagella in various stages of development were observed in long forms of P. vulgaris cells grown at low temperature. The basal structure of these flagella was similar to that of the long or "mature" flagella. Strands connecting the basal structures were observed in ghosts of long forms; these strands appear to be derived from the cytoplasmic membrane. Flagella were found to be attached to fragments of cell wall and to cytoplasmic membrane in a similar manner as they are attached to ghosts. In isolates of flagella that have been separated from the cells mechanically, the organelles often terminate in hooks which almost always appear naked, but have a different fine structure than the flagellum proper. 相似文献

The incidence of diapause was shown to be determined humorally during the larval-pupal ecdysis by means of brain extirpation experiments.On the basis of this observation, light and electron microscopic changes in the neurosecretory type II cells in the pars intercerebralis-corpus cardiacum system during pharate pupal and early pupal stages were examined in insects reared under long day-length (non-diapause individuals) and in insects reared under short day-length (diapause individuals). In the diapause individuals, neurosecretory granules in NS-II cells increased during the pupal instar and large aggregates of granules packed the cytoplasm. Thereafter, inclusion bodies showing cytoplasmic breakdown of the granules appeared.In the non-diapause individuals, on the contrary, electron micrographs suggesting the release of neurosecretory material from axon terminals were obtained just after the pupal ecdysis. There were very few granules, with many Golgi bodies and much rough ER 8 to 12 hr after the ecdysis.It is concluded that adult development is determined by the release of neurosecretory material from the axon terminals of NS-II cells at the larval-pupal ecdysis. If release does not occur, the pupae enter diapause. It is also thought that differences in day-length during the larval stages influence the activities of NS-II cells before pupation. 相似文献

Fibroblast spreading was studied using immunofluorescent method that provided visualization of actin structures and adhesion contacts in the same cell. Four stages of actin system formation were observed. 1. Actin concentration in ruffles at the cell periphery. Formation of numerous dot-like contacts along the whole perimeter of the cell. 2. Formation of a circumferential actin bundle. Focal contacts are located at the outer edge of the bundle. 3. Gradual transformation of the circumferential bundle into actin network with triangular meshes. Peripheral (rather than internal) filaments of the network are associated with the focal contacts. 4. Appearance of the system of long straight actin bundles (stress fibers) associated with dash-like focal contacts. The stress fibers are supposed to arise from the triangular actin network which in its turn arises from the circumferential bundle. It is suggested that the formation of actin cytoskeleton is a process driven by the development of tensions in actin structures attached to the focal contacts at the cell periphery. 相似文献

The method of scanning electron microscopy showed that the L-colonies of streptococcus were formed by the spherical structures 0.1--1.5 micronm in diameter, elements of polygonal shape (large bodies) 10--30 micronm in size, filamentous structures 01--7 micronm in diameter and structureless matrix. A regular replacement of one form by another was observed in the process of the L-colonies development. Thus, the spherical elements appeared in the lag-phase, and polygonal elements were found mostly at the initial stages of the L-colonies formation; as to the filamentous structures -- they were present at all the developmental stages, but their diameter increased, and their structure and number changed at different growth phases. The spherical elements of the L-colonies formed evenly both on the structureless depth matrix of the colonies, on the filamentous structures in the form of buds on the "large bodies", and the disintegration of the latter. The role of the filamentous structures in the development of the L-colonies is discussed. 相似文献

Summary Cytoplasmic vacuoles and bodies in the osteoclast (rat) were studied by electron microscopy. The vacuole-like structures (0.03–5 in diameter) may be classed as a) vacuoles b) coated vacuoles and c) invaginations. The cytoplasmic bodies vary in size from 0.02–3 in diameter and these may similarly be classed as a) light cytoplasmic bodies, b) dense cytoplasmic bodies, c) coated cytoplasmic bodies and d) cytoplasmic bodies containing inclusions. Both the cytoplasmic vacuoles and the bodies are limited by a triple layered membrane of about 91 Å in thickness. Their relationship to the lysosomal system and the role of this system in the osteoclast is discussed.This research was supported by the Danish Research Council. Grant no. 512–727 and 512–819. 相似文献

The cytoplasmic volume of wheat streak mosaic virus-infected cells was significantly greater than that of cells in healthy control tissue. Ultrastructural examination revealed that mainly cellular membranes and ribosomes filled the expanded cytoplasm. Imperfectly spherical inclusions, containing continuous endoplasmic reticulum membranes at the periphery and a mixture of membranes and ribosomes in the centre, were observed near nuclei at early infection stages. The inclusions became larger as infection progressed. Membranes and ribosomes proliferated also throughout the cell, forming a matrix in which organelles and various cytopathic structures were enclosed. Numerous vesicles were observed in the cytoplasm of other WSMV-infected cells. Multi-layered membrane bodies were found at later infection stages. Virus particles were present in the central space of these myelin-like structures. The presence of apparently intermediate stages in myelin-like structure development in chloroplasts suggest that at least some of the myelin-like structures originated from the chloroplasts. 相似文献

The EGs strain of the amoeboflagellate Naegleria gruberi contains viruslike particles (VLP) apparently responsible for the development of cytoplasmic structures in infected cells. Growth of amoebae at 37°C produced changes in the normal pattern of development of the cytoplasmic units. Structures referred to as bacterium-like bodies, which developed in infected amoebae grown at 21°C, did not form at the elevated temperature. Amoeba cytoplasm at the elevated temperature exhibited regions of varying densities and bundles of microtubule-like fibrils. Presumed transmissive stages which were seen in cells grown at 21°C were not formed at 37°C. These changes are of significance in that they parallel cytoplasmic changes in cytopathic chick embryo fibroblasts exposed to lysates made from VLP-infected cultures of amoebae. 相似文献

Using transmission and scanning electron microscopy we were able to show that during primary embryonic induction in amphibians ( Triturus alpestris ) the interspace between the inducing chorda-mesoderm and the reacting ectoderm (presumptive medullary plate) of mid-gastrula stages is traversed by cell projections starting from cells of both tissue layers. In addition intimate membrane contacts between the main bodies of the ectodermal and chorda-mesodermal cells could be observed.
It could be ruled out that cytoplasmic bridges (anastomosis) exist between cells of inducing chorda-mesoderm and reacting ectoderm, which would allow a free transfer of inducing substances without passing through membranes, as Eakin and Lehmann [1] have postulated. The possible role of cell to cell contact for neural induction is emphasized. 相似文献

Maturing embryos of 16 oil plants, anise suspension culture cells, and Neurospora crassa cells were prepared for electron microscopy at different stages during massive lipid accumulation. Lipid-rich structures of certain species were best preserved by dehydration of fixed tissues in ethanol without propylene oxide, embedding in Spurr's Medium, and polymerization at room temperature. In all cells examined, spherical lipid bodies (spherosomes) showed a moderately osmiophilic, amorphous matrix and displayed a delimiting half-unit membrane when sectioned medially. Associations with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) were viewed at any stage during lipid body development but with different frequency in the different plant species. Plastids of fat-storing cells exhibited conspicuously undulate outer and inner envelope membranes that formed multiple contact sites with each other and protuberances into both cytoplasm and stroma. Some species, e.g., Linum, have plastids with tubular structures that connect the inner membrane to the thylakoid system; in addition, in the stroma vesicles fusing with or apparently passing through the envelope were observed. The outer envelope membrane may be associated with ER-like cytoplasmic membrane structures. In addition, lipid bodies of various sizes were found in contact with the plastid envelope. The ultrastructural observations are interpreted to match the published biochemical evidence, indicating that both plastids and ER may be involved in the synthesis of storage lipids and lipid body production. 相似文献
