We have previously described the molecular cloning of a cDNA fragment synthesized from rat duodenal mRNA coding for a 9000-dalton vitamin D-induced calcium-binding protein (9-kDa CaBP) (3). We now report the use of this cloned cDNA to study the cytological distribution of 9-kDa CaBP mRNA in rat duodenum by in situ hybridization. Tissue sections, fixed in ethanol:acetic acid, were hybridized to the 3H-cDNA probe and processed for autoradiography. The specificity of the CaBP mRNA-DNA hybrid formation was checked using 3H-labeled plasmid pBR322 DNA as a control probe. 9k-Da CaBP mRNA, visualized by silver grains, was found only in the absorptive epithelial cells, and the concentration was greater in the cells at the villous tips than in those of the crypts. The 9k-Da CaBP mRNA was observed mainly in the cytoplasm of the columnar cells and less frequently in the nucleus. Labeling was not seen in the brush border and goblet cells. The submucosa, with Brunner's glands and muscularis, also showed no specific 9-kDa CaBP mRNA concentration. This demonstration of 9-kDa CaBP gene activity in the columnar cells of the rat duodenum illustrates the usefulness of in situ hybridization for characterization of specific cells involved in the expression of 1,25(OH)2 D3 activity. 相似文献

The expression of the gene coding for parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) during tooth development in the rat 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

By means of in situ hybridisation studies, it is shown that parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) mRNA is strongly expressed in the developing enamel organs of rat teeth. In particular, the cervical loop hybridises strongly with the PTHrP probe and expression is maintained at this site throughout life in the permanently erupting incisor teeth. In mature molar teeth, expression is downregulated to low levels and confined to the epithelial cell rests of Malassez and/or cementoblasts which may derive from these. The gene is also expressed at low levels in the tissue overlying the erupting molars and, thereafter, in the junctional epithelia and connective tissue cells of the epithelial attachment on all tooth surfaces. The premise that PTHrP may undergo post-translational processing and that the resultant products could act in different ways raises the possibility of its exerting multiple paracrine actions during tooth development. These could include the control of cell division and local vascular dilation during development. 相似文献

Hydroxyindole-O-methyltransferase (HIOMT) is the enzyme involved in the last step of the melatonin synthesis pathway. Recently,
a cDNA encoding HIOMT has been isolated from a rat pineal gland library. Using this cDNA, we developed a highly sensitive
in situ hybridisation protocol to investigate the distribution of HIOMT mRNA in both the rat brain and dissociated pinealocytes
maintained in primary cell culture. In the rat brain, HIOMT mRNA was only detected in the three parts of the pineal complex:
the superficial pineal, the stalk and the deep pineal. No extra-pineal hybridisation labelling was observed. These results
strongly suggest that melatonin synthesis also occurs in the deep part and the stalk of the pineal gland. HIOMT mRNA was markedly
expressed in cultured pinealocytes. No particular subcellular area was observed to express HIOMT mRNA specifically, as the
labelling was homogeneously distributed in the cytosol and in the axon-like processes. In conclusion, the use of in situ and
in vitro hybridisation with a pineal riboprobe has detected notable HIOMT expression restricted to pinealocytes.

Rapid formation of myometrial gap junctions during parturition in the unilaterally implanted rat uterus 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Summary In uterine smooth muscles, gap junction plaques rapidly form during the final stages of gestation. To investigate the related mechanisms, regional differences in myometrial gap junction development in rat uterus were examined quantitatively during delivery, using thin-section and freeze-fracture techniques in combination with light- and electron microscopy.Examination of implanted and nonimplanted horns in the unilaterally ligated rat bicornuate uteri, revealed no differences in the occurrence of gap junction plaques, but after 2 to 4 pups had been delivered, the contracted segments contained more gap junction plaques than did noncontracted segments examined immediately before delivery. In all segments, gap junctions were found more frequently in the circular muscle layers than in the longitudinal muscle layers. Gap junctions ranged in size from 0.002 m2 to 0.52 m2, but two-thirds were less than 0.1 m2. The frequency of small gap junction plaques (less than 0.1 m2) was higher in the noncontracted segment.These results suggest that gap junctions are dynamic structures, and that their formation is controlled not only by general hormonal factors, possibly involved in gap junction increases in the myometrium before delivery, but also by local factors, possibly related to the contraction, that may accelerate an increase in gap junction formation during delivery. 相似文献

Expression of the polymeric Immunoglobulin Receptor (pIgR) in mucosal tissues of common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The mucosal immune system seems to be an important defence mechanism for fish but the binding of IgM in mucosal organs is poorly described in fish. In this study the gene encoding the polymeric Immunoglobulin Receptor (pIgR) in carp has been isolated and sequenced from a liver cDNA-library and aligned with other species. The pIgR of carp consists of 2 Ig domains, a transmembrane and an intracellular region, together 327 amino acids. In situ hybridisations with sense and anti-sense DIG-labelled pIgR RNA probes were performed on liver, gut and skin of common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) and in these organs only anti-sense probes were found to hybridise. In liver the majority of hepatocytes was stained around the nucleus. In gut and skin, staining could be detected around the nucleus of the epithelial cells, but in gut also a subpopulation of lymphoid cells was stained in epithelium and lamina propria. The specific in situ hybridisation of the epithelia and hepatocytes coincides with the in situ binding of FITC-labelled carp IgM to the same cells. RT-PCR results indicate the expression of the pIgR gene in all lymphoid organs of carp, but not in muscle. Macrophages/neutrophils enriched by adherence or sorted B cells (MACS) did not show expression of the pIgR gene and are excluded as the pIgR expressing lymphoid cells in the intestine. The relevance of pIgR staining and gene expression in mucosal organs is discussed. 相似文献

A comparative study of the expression of monoamine oxidase-A and -B mRNA and protein in non-CNS human tissues 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The distributions of monoamine oxidase (MAO)-A and -B proteins and mRNAs in human heart, lung, liver, duodenum, kidney and vasculature were compared using immunohistochemistry and cRNA in situ hybridisation. MAO-A and -B mRNA were detected in all tissues, to differing extents, but particularly in glomeruli, hepatocytes, and the crypts, muscularis mucosa and muscularis externa of duodenum. Renal proximal and distal tubules and loops of Henle had more intense labelling for mRNA of MAO-B than MAO-A; this was reflected in MAO protein expression. Little immunoreactivity was detected in glomeruli. Hepatocytes expressed MAO-A moderately, but MAO-B strongly. In lungs, similar moderately intense labelling for both MAO mRNAs and immunoreactivities was evident in pneumocytes, and epithelial and smooth muscle cells. Cardiomyocytes contained both MAO isoforms, but with more, albeit moderate, labelling for MAO-A. Both isoforms were expressed equally in duodenal villi, crypts, muscularis externa and mucosa; lower level expression occurred in mucosal and submucosal cells. MAO-A and -B mRNA were detected in endothelia, adventitia and media of a renal interlobular artery, but protein immunoreactivities were chiefly in the adventitia. The data reveal widespread tissue distribution of MAO mRNAs and proteins, but indicate that presence of MAO mRNAs does not invariably reflect quantitatively its protein expression. 相似文献

Summary In situ hybridization procedure with a 32P-labelled synthetic oligonucleotide probe was used to detect corticotropin-releasing factor-encoding messenger RNA (CRF mRNA) in the hypothalamus of the white sucker, Catostomus commersoni. Adjacent sections were immunostained by a sucker CRF-specific antiserum. CRF mRNA-containing neurons were identified by autoradiography in the magnocellular and parvocellular subdivisions of the preoptic nucleus (PON). Many of these neurons were also immunostained by sucker antiserum, showing the same distribution patterns. These results confirm the presence of CRF mRNA and CRF peptide in the white sucker hypothalamus and support the view that the magnocellular and parvocellular neurons of the PON may be involved in the control of adrenocorticotropic hormone secretion from the pituitary in the white sucker. 相似文献

Summary Distribution of the eosinophil major basic protein (MBP) was studied in the rat uterus horn and cervix by means of immunohistochemistry using an antiserum raised against rat MBP. Various hormonal contexts were investigated: pre- and post-parturition, the estrous cycle, and ovariectomy followed by hormonal treatment or without treatment. MBP was detectable in the cervix as early as 12 h post-partum, appearing in the stroma close to the myometrium. The MBP had spread throughout the stroma toward the luminal epithelium after a few days. In contrast, no MBP was seen in sections of the corresponding pre- and post-partum uteri and in the pre-partum cervix. In cycling rats, MBP was distributed equally in the cervix and uterus and was more abundant during proestrus and estrus. In ovariectomized rats and in ovariectomized rats subsequently treated with progesterone, no MBP was detected in the cervix or uterus. In the cervix of ovariectomized rats treated with estradiol, MBP first appeared in the muscle layer situated between the two cervical lumina and then reached the stroma; within a few days only the stroma was stained. Inversely, in the uterus MBP-staining first appeared in the stroma. In conclusion, analysis of the distribution of MBP in rat uterus revealed a marked difference in the response of the cervix and horn to a hormonal environment. 相似文献

We present a novel method using flow cytometry–fluorescence in situ hybridization (flow–FISH) to detect specific messenger RNA (mRNA) in suspended cells using locked nucleic acid (LNA)-modified oligonucleotide probes. β-Actin mRNA was targeted in whole A549 epithelial cells by hybridization with a biotinylated, LNA-modified probe. The LNA bound to β-actin was then stained using phycoerythrin-conjugated streptavidin and detected by flow cytometry. Shifts in fluorescence signal intensity between the β-actin LNA probe and a biotinylated, nonspecific control LNA were used to determine optimal conditions for this type of flow–FISH. Multiple conditions for permeabilization and hybridization were tested, and it was found that conditions using 3 μg/ml of proteinase K for permeabilization and 90 min hybridization at 60 °C with buffer containing 50% formamide allow cells containing the LNA-bound mRNA to be detected and differentiated from the control LNA with high confidence (< 14% overlap between curves). This combined method, called LNA flow–FISH, can be used for detection and quantification of other RNA species as well as for telomerase measurement and detection. 相似文献

NPY-mRNA expressions in the nucleus accumbens,caudate putamen and cerebral cortex of apomorphine-susceptible and apomorphine-unsusceptible rats 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Using the apomorphine-induced stereotyped gnawing response as a selection criterion, two distinct groups of rats can be distinguished, apomorphine-susceptible (APO-SUS) and apomorphine-unsusceptible (APO-UNSUS) rats. These two lines differ in several components of both striatal and extrastriatal areas. This study deals with the expression of neuropeptide Y (NPY)mRNA-expressing neurons in the nucleus accumbens, caudate putamen and cerebral cortex of both rat lines, using non-radioactive in situ hybridisation. The morphology of the neurons in the three regions is similar, viz. oblong, rectangular or triangular, with two or three processes. The neurons are homogeneously distributed in all regions, and in the nucleus accumbens they are particularly numerous ventrally to the anterior commissure. Using automated image analysis, the mean numerical density of NPYmRNA-positive neurons per brain region and the mean NPYmRNA expression level per neuron per brain region were determined. No differences appear in the numerical densities of NPYmRNA-containing neurons in the nucleus accumbens, caudate putamen and cortex between APO-SUS and APO-UNSUS rats. However, distinct differences between the rat lines are present in the level of NPYmRNA expression per neuron in the nucleus accumbens and in the caudate putamen, showing that NPY contributes to the differential neurochemical make-up of these rat lines that is responsible for their obvious differences in behaviour, physiology and immune competence. 相似文献

The kidney is the most complex organ within the urogenital system. The adult mouse kidney contains in excess of 8,000 mature
nephrons, each of which can be subdivided into a renal corpuscle and 14 distinct tubular segments. The histological complexity
of this organ can make the clarification of the site of gene expression by in situ hybridisation difficult. We have defined
a panel of seven antibodies capable of identifying the six stages of early nephron development, the tubular nephron segments
and the components of the renal corpuscle within the embryonic and adult mouse kidney. We have analysed in detail the protein
expression of Wt1, Calb1 Aqp1, Aqp2 and Umod using these antibodies. We have then coupled immunohistochemistry with RNA in
situ hybridisation in order to precisely identify the expression pattern of different genes, including Wnt4, Umod and Spp1.
This technique will be invaluable for examining at high resolution, the structure of both the developing and mature nephron
where standard in situ hybridisation and histological techniques are insufficient. The use of this technique will enhance
the expression analyses of genes which may be involved in nephron formation and the function of the mature nephron in the
mouse. 相似文献

Group-specific 16S rRNA targeted probes for the detection of type I and type II methanotrophs by fluorescence in situ hybridisation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The study of methane-oxidising bacteria (methanotrophs) is of special interest, because of their role in the natural reduction of methane emissions from many different sources. Therefore new probes were developed to detect specifically either type I (Methylococcaceae) or type II methanotrophs (Methylocystaceae). The probes have shown high specificity in fluorescence in situ hybridisations (FISH), as demonstrated by parallel hybridisation of target and reference strains as well as sequence data analysis. With these probes, methanotrophs were detected in soil and root samples from rice microcosms, demonstrating their applicability even in a complex environmental matrix. 相似文献

A method was developed to detect a specific strain of bacteria in wheat root rhizoplane using fluorescence in situ hybridization and confocal microscopy. Probes targeting both 23S rRNA and messenger RNA were used simultaneously to achieve detection of recombinant Pseudomonas putida (TOM20) expressing toluene o-monooxygenase (tom) genes and synthetic phytochelatin (EC20). The probe specific to P. putida 23S rRNA sequences was labeled with Cy3 fluor, and the probe specific to the tom genes was labeled with Alexa647 fluor. Probe specificity was first determined, and hybridization temperature was optimized using three rhizosphere bacteria pure cultures as controls, along with the P. putida TOM20 strain. The probes were highly specific to the respective targets, with minimal non-specific binding. The recombinant strain was inoculated into wheat seedling rhizosphere. Colonization of P. putida TOM20 was confirmed by extraction of root biofilm and growth of colonies on selective agar medium. Confocal microscopy of hybridized root biofilm detected P. putida TOM20 cells emitting both Cy3 and Alexa647 fluorescence signals. 相似文献

In-vitro translation products of polyadenylated RNA from untreated and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA)-treated elongating sections of maize (Zea mays L.) coleoptiles were analyzed by twodimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Treatment with IAA results in an increased amount of at least four in-vitro translation products. The amounts of two of these translation products are increased within 10 min of IAA treatment.Abbreviation IAA

An analysis of secreted proteins by the signal sequence trap method using a cDNA library of the rat pituitary anlage at embryonic
days (E) 13.5 revealed the abundant expression of delta-like protein 1 (Dlk1) in the pituitary gland. Dlk1, an epidermal growth
factor-like repeat protein in preadipocytes, functions in maintaining the preadipose state. Expression of Dlk1 mRNA in the
pituitary at E13.5 and in the adult pituitary was confirmed by in situ hybridization. The expression pattern of Dlk1 during
pituitary development was also studied by immunohistochemistry. Dlk1 protein first appeared in Rathke’s pouch and the infundibulum
at E11.5; as development proceeded, expression became restricted to the pars distalis and pars tuberalis (PT). Dlk1 was expressed
in most ACTH cells during the embryonic stages, but its expression was limited to only a few ACTH cells in the adult pituitary.
It was also expressed in a small population of TSH, GTH, and PRL cells throughout development, whereas it was present in the
cytoplasm of most GH cells at all developmental stages. Similarly, Dlk1 was localized in the cytoplasm of PT cells during
development. These findings provide new insights into the mechanism of Dlk1 regarding its regulation of pituitary hormone-secreting
cells during development. 相似文献
