Summary Adult rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were injected intraperitoneally with capsaicin, substance P, serotonin, or a control of saline vehicle or bovine serum albumin (0.5 g/g body weight). Fish were sacrificed 30 min and 1,2 and 4 h post-injection, the gut was dissected out, and a small section of the upper intestine was processed for electron microscopy. A significant proportion of eosinophilic granule cells (EGCs) of the intestine were in close association with non-myelinated neuronal bundles in all fish (4 fish per treatment and time period), but there was no significant difference between treatment or time, suggesting that the association was unaffected by these factors. Close examination of EGC ultrastructure showed that fish treated with capsaicin and substance P exhibited limited degranulation of the EGCs in the stratum compactum and extensive crinophagic-like degranulation in the lamina propria. Cells of the lamina propria contained characteristic multivesicular-like bodies. The degranulation was reminiscent of both mast cell degranulation and endocrine cell crinophagy. EGCs of fish treated with serotonin or a control were unaffected, suggesting that the serotoninergic neurons, believed to be involved in gut motility, were not responsible for degranulation. It is apparent that EGCs of the trout intestine may be under nervous control, as has been demonstrated previously for mammalian mast cells. 相似文献

In the present study, the pattern of immuno-reactive ladderlectin and intelectin in healthy rainbow trout is compared to rainbow trout infected with a variety of infectious agents. In healthy rainbow trout, both proteins were localized to individual epithelial cells of the gill and intestine and both proteins were clearly demonstrated within cytoplasmic granules of polymorphonuclear leucocytes and macrophages/monocytes found in blood vessels, hepatic sinusoids, renal interstitium, mucosal epithelium and submucosa of normal intestine. In tissue from infected rainbow trout, there was an overall relative increase in both lectins compared to healthy fish and both proteins were detected in extra-cellular spaces surrounding bacteria, fungi and protozoa. Increased distribution and density of both RTLL and RTInt was demonstrated along mucosal surfaces and within inflammatory leucocytes in infected tissues and immune related organs. These findings represent one of the few examples of in vivo association of defence lectins and infectious agents. 相似文献

Summary The relationship between alkaline phosphatase and environmental salinity was examined in the rainbow trout and the migratory rainbow (steelhead),Salmo gairdneri. The enzyme activity in tissues involved in osmoregulation was strongly correlated with the adaptation salinity and thus to the degree of salt and fluid transport in those tissues. After transfer from freshwater to seawater, the specific activity of the enzyme increased over 260% in the intestine, decreased by 50% in kidney, and was unchanged in the liver, an organ not directly involved in osmoregulation. The sea-run steelhead trout response was similar to the nonmigratory rainbow; although, the pre-migratory transformation (smoltification) had no effect on enzyme activity. Amino acid inhibitors of alkaline phosphatase significantly reduced fluid absorption in the isolated intestine of rainbow trout, reaffirming the relationship between the enzyme and fluid movement. Electrophoretic identification of trout alkaline phosphatase isozymes, clearly distinguishes the enzyme from different tissue origins. However, from the analysis of intestinal electrophoretic patterns, osmoregulatory adjustments are not associated with the induction of new alkaline phosphatase isozymes, or in the large scale preferential stimulation of one of the two existing intestinal isozymes over the other. 相似文献

The distribution, morphology and cytochemistry of the eosinophilic granule cells in the gut of the rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri , were studied using light and electron microscopes. Granule cells were associated generally with the propria of the gut wall, the majority being arranged in a definitive layer, as a stratum granulosum. The cytoplasm of the eosinophilic granule cells contained numerous spherical, membrane-bound, homogeneous electron-dense granules, ranging from 0·1–1·3 urn in diameter. A portion of the cytoplasm located towards one pole of the cell was usually devoid of organelles other than ribosomes. Whatever their location, the eosinophilic granule cells were always associated with fixed connective tissue cells, referred to here as 'ensheathing' cells. Phospholipid, acid mucopoly-saccharide and the activities of alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, arylsulphatase and 5-nucleotidase were demonstrated in the granules. It is hypothesized that the 'ensheathing' cells and eosinophilic granule cells constitute a part of the body defence mechanism. 相似文献

Autometallographic (AMG) silver enhancement of endogenous zinc was studied in seven organs of the rainbow trout Salmo gairdneri. Groups of trout were injected intraperitoneally with sodium selenite in doses ranging from 0.08 to 25 ppm, administered 1 h before being killed. The concentration of selenium obtained by each organ was determined by gamma-spectrometry, and compared with the autometallographic deposition of silver grains. The relative accumulation of selenium in the organs was: liver greater than spleen greater than kidney greater than intestine greater than gills greater than brain greater than muscle. In the fish labelled with 10 and 25 ppm Se, AMG-deposits were found (1) within lysosomes of liver cells, (2) within the granules and on the nuclear membrane of melanophores in the spleen, (3) on the microvilli and in the apical cytoplasm of renal proximal tubular cells, (4) within the granules and along the plasma membrane of intestinal eosinophilic granule cells, and in the apical portion of the intestinal epithelium, and (5) in the gills, within granule cells and on the surface of the ionocytes. In the trouts injected with 5 ppm Se, silver grains were still observed in the liver, the intestine, and the gills, whereas, no such grains were found in preparations from fish having received 1 ppm Se. The use of selenium for the histochemical demonstration of endogenous zinc versus exogenous metals is discussed. Also, consideration is given to the question of which part of the total tissue zinc that is histochemically reactive. 相似文献

Degranulation of eosinophilic granule cells in neurofibromas and gastrointestinal tract in the bicolor damselfish 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Damselfish neurofibromatosis (DNF) is a neoplastic disease affecting bicolor damselfish (Stegastes partitus Poey) on Florida reefs. Previous studies have demonstrated high densities of eosinophilic granule containing cells (EGC), the proposed equivalent of mast cells in fishes, in neurofibromas and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (mpnst) in DNF. These lesions are similar to those in the disease neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) in humans, which contain large numbers of mast cells. In the present study, experiments were conducted to measure the response of EGC in these tumors as well as in the submucosa of the digestive tract to the mast cell degranulating agent compound 48/80. Degranulation of these cells was visible by light microscopy and characterized by conspicuous swelling of granules and often by the presence of free granules adjacent to the EGC. Degranulation occurred by release of intact granules (diacytosis), as reported in other fishes, rather than by fusion of granules with the cell membrane (exocytosis) as reported in mast cells in mammals. Baseline levels of EGC exhibiting degranulation ranged from 20-26% in the submucosa to 30% in tumors. Within 1-2h of exposure to compound 48/80, significant increases in average levels of degranulation were observed, to 67% in the gut and 72% in tumors. Degranulation was significantly more extensive in the tumors than in the gut. The outermost edges of the tumors contained significantly higher densities of EGC but these cells exhibited lower rates of degranulation than those in the inner regions of tumors. These observations support the hypothesis that the EGC present in neurofibromas and mpnst in DNF are equivalent to the mast cell component in neurofibromas in NF1. 相似文献

Following intraperitoneal injection of the zinc ion chelator dithizone into Atlantic salmon Salmo salar , staining and morphological changes in intestinal eosinophiic granule cells (EGC) were observed in both cryo-preserved and chemical-preserved tissue sections. In cryo sections rapid and selective vital staining of EGC was observed within 5 min of dithizone injection. Intensely stained red granules appeared as a result of the formation of a complex between dithizone and zinc ions. Stained EGC appeared on both sides of the stratum compactum as well as in the lamina propria . Stained EGC started to disintegrate 5 min after the injection of dithizone, and little of the zinc-dithizone complex was observed 15 h later. The disappearance of the stain coincided with an intense degranulation and disintegration of EGC. Fifteen hours after dithizone treatment regenerating cells were observed in Masson's trichrome stained sections. Four to five days after injection, a fully regenerated continuous EGC layer was observed. Simultaneously with the disintegration of EGC an increase in plasma lysozyme activity occurred. EGC resembles mammalian Paneth cells in their possession of lysozymecontaining granules and their staining by, and response to, dithizone. EGC may represent a central component of zinc metabolism in Atlantic salmon. 相似文献

Unidirectional fluxes of Na+ obtained in perfused preparation and mucosal enzyme equipment (alkaline phosphatase, ouabain-sensitive Na+, K+-ATPase) have been determined in the middle and posterior intestine of freshwater (FW) and sea-water (SW) adapted trout. In FW, influxes and outfluxes were higher in the middle than in the posterior intestine, although net fluxes were similar. SW adaptation induced an increase of influxes and net fluxes mainly in the posterior intestine. SW adaptation decreased the alkaline phosphatase activity only in the posterior intestine. Na+,K+-ATPase activity was always higher in the middle than in the posterior intestine in FW and SW and increased in both parts by SW adaptation. Thus, it seems that SW adaptation of rainbow trout modifies Na intestinal absorption principally in its posterior part and in relation with the Na+, K+-ATPase activity. 相似文献

We report identification of a rainbow trout hepatic glucose transporter sharing 58% and 52% amino acid identity with avian and mammalian GLUT2 sequences, respectively. The functionality of OnmyGLUT2 was assessed by expression in rainbow trout embryos. We also measured the transport of hexose in isolated rainbow trout hepatocytes. Inhibition of 3-O-methylglucose uptake by cytochalasin B, phloretin and 2-deoxy-D-glucose suggested the existence of a functional facilitative transporter in these cells. Expression of OnmyGLUT2 was found in the liver, kidney and intestine. 相似文献

We investigated the cellular and subcellular distribution of surfactant protein D (SP-D) by immunogold labeling in lungs of adult rats that had been given bovine serum albumin coupled to 5-nm gold (BSAG) for 2 hr to visualize the endocytotic pathway. Specific gold labeling for SP-D was found in alveolar Type II cells, Clara cells, and alveolar macrophages. In Type II cells abundant labeling was observed in the endoplasmic reticulum, whereas the Golgi complex and multivesicular bodies were labeled to a limited extent only. Lamellar bodies did not seem to contain SP-D. Gold labeling in alveolar macrophages was restricted to structures containing endocytosed BSAG. In Clara cells labeling was found in the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi complex, and was most prominent in granules present in the apical domain of the cell. Double labeling experiments with anti-surfactant protein A (SP-A) showed that both SP-A and SP-D were present in the same granules. However, SP-A was distributed throughout the granule contents, whereas SP-D was confined to the periphery of the granule. The Clara cell granules are considered secretory granules and not lysosomes, because they were not labeled for the lysosomal markers cathepsin D and LGP120, and they did not contain endocytosed BSAG. 相似文献

The histochemical nature of the protein within the large granules of the intestinal granule cells was examined in rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri , from the time of earliest appearance of the cells in the lamina propria until a layer of granule cells was established in 12-month-old juveniles. At all times the granule cell granules contained large quantities of protein. This material appeared to be predominantly cationic in nature as judged from results obtained with alkaline fast green FCF together with deamination controls. In addition, there was no major acidic protein within the intestinal granule cell granules. 相似文献

Established methods for isolating intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL) from mouse small intestine were modified to facilitate the isolation of IEL from rainbow trout gut epithelium. A 1 h incubation in 1 mMDTT/EDTA was required to maximise the separation of the epithelial compartment from the underlying lamina propria. Epithelial cell content was reduced by filtration on nylon wool columns followed by centrifugation on a 40% Percoll cushion. Most IEL pelleted through the 40% Percoll [high density (HD) IEL] although significant numbers banded out at the medium/40% Percoll interface [low density (LD) IEL]. The majority (∼90%) of HD IEL were<12·5 μm in size, had a pleiomorphic nucleus and obvious mitochondria. LD IEL were larger cells, containing more cytoplasm with abundant ribosomes. Neither HD nor LD IEL appeared to contain ‘ cytotoxic ’ granules. Despite this, in a non-radioactive cytotoxicity assay (LDH release) with EL4 mouse thymoma cells as targets, significant killing was observed by both the HD and LD IEL. 相似文献

The ability of carbachol and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) to contract isolated segments of rainbow trout intestine in a concentration-dependent manner indicates the presence of muscarinic and serotoninergic receptors in this tissue. The activity of these agonists appears to be directly on the smooth muscle, since ganglionic blockers and inhibitors of neurotransmission did not inhibit contractions. The carbachol-induced contractions were selectively inhibited by atropine and (+-)-3-quinuclidinyl xanthene-9-carboxylate hemioxalate hydrate, an M-2 muscarinic receptor antagonist. However, the inhibition was not competitive. McN-A-343, an M-1 muscarinic agonist had no effect on intrinsic tone. The 5-HT-induced contractions were selectively inhibited by methysergide and the 5-HT2 receptor blockers, ketanserin and 1-(1-naphthyl)piperazine. Again, the inhibition by these agents was not competitive. 5-HT1 and 5-HT3 receptor antagonists did not inhibit contractions. The results thus suggest that the smooth muscle of the rainbow trout intestine contains M-2 muscarinic and 5-HT2 receptors. 相似文献

Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) granule formation in Azotobacter vinelandii was investigated by laser scanning fluorescence microscopy after staining the cells with Nilered and Baclight. Cells that had been starved for a carbon source for > or =3 days were almost free of PHB granules. Formation of visible PHB granules started within 1-2 h after transfer of the cells to a medium permissive for PHB accumulation. Fluorescent PHB granules at the early stages of formation were exclusively found in the cell periphery of the 2-3 mum ovoid-shaped cells. After 3 h of PHB accumulation or later, PHB granules were also found to be detached from the cell periphery. Our results indicate that PHB granule formation apparently begins at the inner site of the cytoplasmic membrane. This finding is different from previous assumptions that PHB granule formation occurs randomly in the cytoplasm of PHB-accumulating bacteria. 相似文献

Biochemical and cytochemical studies on enzymes that dephosphorylate inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate in neutrophils. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Guinea pig neutrophils contain membrane-bound and soluble phosphatases that catalyze the dephosphorylation of inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3]. The activities were 5.1 +/- 0.2 and 1.3 +/- 0.2 (SD; n = 5) nmoles phosphate (Pi) released/min/10(7) cell equivalents, respectively. The membrane-bound enzyme dephosphorylated many substrates (e.g., beta-glycerophosphate), exhibited alkaline pH optima, and was inhibited by levamisole. In contrast, the soluble phosphatase was specific for Ins(1,4,5)P3, exhibited a neutral pH optimum, and was insensitive to levamisole. A cerium-based ultrastructural cytochemical procedure was employed to identify the subcellular sites of the membrane-bound activity. Staining was observed on the exterior of the plasmalemma and in a population of granules. Staining in the granules was observed only in permeabilized cells. Treatment of neutrophils with p-diazobenzenesulfonate (DBSA) (4.0 mM) for 20 min at 37 degrees C blocked the cytochemical reaction on the cell surface using beta-glycerophosphate as the substrate, but did not affect the staining of the granules on subsequent permeabilization. In biochemical studies, this treatment with DBSA inhibited the membrane-bound activity by c. 50% but did not affect the soluble phosphatase. Therefore, the membrane-bound phosphatase is, in fact, an alkaline phosphatase that resides in locales not accessible to Ins(1,4,5)P3 generated during cell stimulation. Breakdown of Ins(1,4,5)P3 generated during cell stimulation, therefore, would be catalyzed by the soluble enzyme. 相似文献

AIMS: To identify the dominant culturable and nonculturable microbiota of rainbow trout intestine. METHODS AND RESULTS: Microbial density of rainbow trout intestine was estimated by direct microscopic counts (4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole, DAPI) and by culturing on tryptone soya agar (TSA). Differential gradient gel electrophoresis analysis of bacterial DNA from intestinal samples, re-amplification of bands and sequence analysis was used to identify the bacteria that dominated samples where aerobic counts were < or =2% of the DAPI counts. 16S rDNA gene sequences of 146 bacterial isolates and three sequences of uncultured bacteria were identified. A set of oligonucleotide probes was constructed and used to detect and enumerate the bacterial community structure of the gastrointestinal tract of rainbow trout by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Members of the gamma subclass of Proteobacteria (mainly Aeromonas and Enterobacteriaceae) dominated the bacterial population structure. Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, Shewanella, Plesiomonas and Proteus were also identified together with isolates belonging to the beta subclass of Proteobacteria and Gram-positive bacteria with high and low DNA G + C content. In most samples, the aerobic count (on TSA) was 50-90% of the direct (DAPI) count. A bacterium representing a previously unknown phylogenetic lineage with only 89% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Anaerofilum pentosovorans was detected in intestinal samples where aerobic counts were < or =2% of direct (DAPI) counts. Ten to 75% of the microbial population in samples with low aerobic counts hybridized (FISH) with a probe constructed against this not-yet cultured bacterium. CONCLUSIONS: Proteobacteria belonging to the gamma subclass dominated the intestinal microbiota of rainbow trout. However, in some samples the microflora was dominated by uncultivated, presumed anaerobic, micro-organisms. The bacterial population structure of rainbow trout intestine, as well as total bacterial counts, varied from fish to fish. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Good correlation was seen between cultivation results and in situ analysis, however, a molecular approach was crucial for the identification of organisms uncultivated on TSA. 相似文献

Distribution of radioiron to various tissues after intraperitoneal injections was examined in Atlantic salmon and rainbow
trout. Liver and spleen were found to be the major iron storage tissues. Injections of 1 or 5 mg iron as ferric ammonium citrate
led to a fall in hemoglobin levels in both species after 2 d. Hemoglobin levels returned to normal levels in rainbow trout
after 8 d, but Atlantic salmon had not recovered, and Hb levels fell below 3 g/100 mL. In both species, the fall in Hb was
associated with a raise in iron levels in spleen and liver, suggesting damage to erythrocytes. Atlantic salmon liver ferritin
showed a two- to threefold increase, while rainbow trout showed a sixfold increase, and a more rapid response. The toxic effect
of iron in fish appears to be different from the effect in other vertebrates. 相似文献

We have studied the early inflammatory response induced by Vibrio anguillarum and by its extracellular products (ECPs) in rainbow trout after intraperitoneal injection. The results showed a very similar inflammatory response which included leucopenia, mainly due to lymphopenia, neutrophilia and an increase in the number of circulating monocytes. Melanomacrophages as well as immature leucocytes were frequently observed circulating in the blood of injected rainbow trout. Monocytes often contain phagocytosed bacteria and other, altered cells including erythrocytes and leucocytes. However, neutrophils only occasionally phagocytosed bacteria. Many circulating leucocytes showed important structural alterations. Neutrophils of trout injected with bacteria and ECPs also showed stronger PAS-staining than those of control trout as well as Döhle bodies and swollen granules. A marked vasodilatation was observed in the kidney and spleen which was coincidental with a mobilization of eosinophilic granular cells and an hypertrophy of sinusoidal endothelial cells showing an increase in the number of cytoplasmic granules. An increase in the number of macrophages and melanomacrophages in the kidney and spleen as well as oedema and leucocyte infiltration in the liver and gills were also noted. 相似文献
