In previous studies we have described the existence of cyclical changes in ecdysteroid levels during the female reproductive life of the earwig Labidura riparia. High levels of ecdysteroids are observed at the end of each vitellogenic period just before follicle degeneration, in coincidence with the beginning of each non-vitellogenic period. In the present work, using in vivo [(35)S]methionine incorporation, electrophoresis and electron microscopy, we study the effects on fat body and ovaries of 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) injections into young vitellogenic females. This resulted in a reduction of proteosynthetic organelles (scarce Golgi complexes and fragmented RER cisternae), inhibition of vitellogenin synthesis in adipocytes, vitellogenesis arrest and premature follicular atresy. All these effects are suppressed when juvenile hormone treatment is associated with 20E injections. 20E does not inhibit vitellogenesis when applied to pars lateralis deprived females, which display continuous vitellogenesis. Thus, 20E does not act directly on ovaries nor on corpus allatum: the presence of the pars lateralis cells is required for 20E to inhibit vitellogenesis. These findings are explained in terms of the existence of a 20E feed back loop. This hormone acts via lateral neurosecretory cells of the brain which probably have an allatostatic effect. 相似文献

The fat body in femalOrnithodoros (Pavlovskyella) erraticus Lucas consists of cell strands slung in the haemolymph but abundant around the tracheal trunks, midgut and reproductive system. The narrow cisternae of rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) occupying most of the cell cytoplasm develop rapidly after feeding and become responsible for the formation of lipid droplets associated with glycogen particles. During oogenesis, RER and Golgi bodies are involved in protein synthesis which could be related to vitellogenesis. No ultrastructural investigations appear to have been made on the fat body in argasid ticks. 相似文献

The rat pericoronary adipose tissue was perfused in the presence of either the liposynthetic hormone insulin or the lipolytic hormone noradrenaline. Insulin perfusion associated with a) larger adipocyte mean sectional diameter in comparison with noradrenaline perfusion; b) glycogen deposition; c) appearance of small fat globules at discrete sites at the periphery of the main lipid drop. The two latter phenomena were apparently dose-dependent. Massive lipid deposition was induced by addition of triglycerides to the perfusion medium and this associated with appearance of prominent endoplasmic reticulum in the cytoplasm. In noradrenaline-perfused adipose tissue many small lipid droplets surrounded the central lipid deposit and the endoplasmic reticulum was in the form of both thin long, dashed cisternae sometime surrounding lipid droplets and grouped, anastomosing tubular cisternae. The present work shows that the perfused white adipose tissue of the heart is a suitable model to study, in situ, the morphological effects of hormones in adipocytes. 相似文献

The hydrolysis of triglyceride (TG) stored in the lipid droplets of the insect fat body is under hormonal regulation by the adipokinetic hormone (AKH), which triggers a rapid activation cAMP-dependent kinase cascade (protein kinase A (PKA)). The role of phosphorylation on two components of the lipolytic process, the TG-lipase and the lipid droplet, was investigated in fat body adipocytes. The activity of purified TG-lipase determined using in vivo TG-radiolabeled lipid droplets was unaffected by the phosphorylation of the lipase. However, the activity of purified lipase was 2.4-fold higher against lipid droplets isolated from hormone-stimulated fat bodies than against lipid droplets isolated from unstimulated tissue. In vivo stimulation of lipolysis promotes a rapid phosphorylation of a lipid droplet protein with an apparent mass of 42-44 kDa. This protein was identified as "Lipid Storage Droplet Protein 1" (Lsdp1). In vivo phosphorylation of this protein reached a peak approximately 10 min after the injection of AKH. Supporting a role of Lsdp1 in lipolysis, maximum TG-lipase activity was also observed with lipid droplets isolated 10 min after hormonal stimulation. The activation of lipolysis was reconstituted in vitro using purified insect PKA and TG-lipase and lipid droplets. In vitro phosphorylation of lipid droplets catalyzed by PKA enhanced the phosphorylation of Lsdp1 and the lipolytic rate of the lipase, demonstrating a prominent role PKA and protein phosphorylation on the activation of the lipid droplets. AKH-induced changes in the properties of the substrate do not promote a tight association of the lipase with the lipid droplets. It is concluded that the lipolysis in fat body adipocytes is controlled by the activation of the lipid droplet. This activation is achieved by PKA-mediated phosphorylation of the lipid droplet. Lsdp1 is the main target of PKA, suggesting that this protein is a major player in the activation of lipolysis in insects. 相似文献

棉花花粉水合和萌发时超微结构的变化:着重论述内质网和被膜小泡 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
棉花(Gossypium hirsutum L.)花粉在授粉后水合至萌发时期的营养细胞中贮藏的大量淀粉粒和脂体被动用。超微结构的观察表明,首先是造粉质体中的淀粉粒降解,尔后是脂体。在花粉水合至萌发时期,营养细胞中内质网和高尔基体十分活跃,并含丰富的被膜小泡。内质网的构型发生明显的变化:花粉刚水合时内质网潴泡高度扩张,不同程度扩张的内质网潴泡连续成网状并折迭形成许多囊袋状结构单位,其中包含造粉质体、脂体和被膜小泡群;其后,内质网潴泡形成的囊袋状结构消失,变为分支互通的网状结构;至萌发时,内质网潴泡略为扩张,有些连续成简单的网状,有些呈游离的囊泡状。被膜小泡始终是成群地分布,并与脂体联结,当脂体降解时一些被膜小泡与之融合。根据棉花花粉在水合至萌发时期,营养细胞质中存在独特形态的内质网系统和含丰富的被膜小泡,它们的动态行为及与淀粉和脂体的转化和降解之间的密切关系,讨论了这两种细胞器可能的功能。 相似文献

This study investigates the effects of the insect growth regulator Azadirachtin (AZA) on the ultrastructure of ovaries and fat body of the earwig Labidura riparia. Ovarian development is severely reduced in AZA-injected females in a dose-dependent manner. Follicles exhibit degenerative changes, separation of follicle cells from the oocyte, and lack of pinocytotic vesicles as of yolk spheres in cortical ooplasm. Adipocytes show fragmented rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), numerous autophagic vacuoles, multivesicular bodies, osmiophilic lipid droplets, and many large glycogen areas. Gel electrophoresis reveals that vitellogenin is absent from both fat body and hemolymph, and that vitellin is not deposited in the ovary. These pathological effects are not linked to an absence of feeding. The effect of AZA on vitellogenesis is rescuable by Juvenile hormone (JH) treatment. The inhibition of vitellogenesis by AZA is discussed on the basis of its direct cytotoxic effect as well as its interference with the neuroendocrine system. 相似文献

Summary We used the protein-A gold technique to demonstrate the presence of apolipoprotein-B in ultrathin sections of fetal rat liver tissue. It was possible to show for the first time that the electron-dense, osmiophilic particles with diameters of 20–20 nm located within the RER cisternae and Golgi complexes of fetal rat hepatocytes contain apolipoprotein-B components and therefore are lipoproteins. After specific labelling an accumulation of gold label was observed on the RER cisternae, Golgi cisternae and the Golgi-associated secretory vesicles of hepatocytes. The specifity of this labelling pattern was assessed by comparison with cytochemical controls. Our qualitative findings were confirmed by a quantitative analysis of the mean labelling intensity (mean number of gold particles per square micron of the surface area of a particular cellular compartment) on the RER, Golgi complexes, mitochondria, nuclei and the remaining cytoplasm of hepatocytes. It is concluded that the hepatocytes of fetal rats are capable of forming apolipoprotein-B-containing lipoprotein particles. With respect to the size-distribution pattern of the observed intrahepatic lipoprotein particles, we suggest that the hepatocytes of fetal rats produce lipoproteins of the low- and very low-density-lipoprotein type.Abbreviations

Perilipins, the major structural proteins coating the surfaces of mature lipid droplets of adipocytes, play an important role in the regulation of triacylglycerol storage and hydrolysis. We have used proteomic analysis to identify CGI-58, a member of the alpha/beta-hydrolase fold family of enzymes, as a component of lipid droplets of 3T3-L1 adipocytes. CGI-58 mRNA is highly expressed in adipose tissue and testes, tissues that also express perilipins, and at lower levels in liver, skin, kidney, and heart. Both endogenous CGI-58 and an ectopic CGI-58-GFP chimera show diffuse cytoplasmic localization in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, but localize almost exclusively to the surfaces of lipid droplets in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes. The localization of endogenous CGI-58 was investigated in 3T3-L1 cells stably expressing mutated forms of perilipin using microscopy. CGI-58 binds to lipid droplets coated with perilipin A or mutated forms of perilipin with an intact C-terminal sequence from amino acid 382 to 429, but not to lipid droplets coated with perilipin B or mutated perilipin A lacking this sequence. Immunoprecipitation studies confirmed these findings, but also showed co-precipitation of perilipin B and CGI-58. Remarkably, activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase by the incubation of 3T3-L1 adipocytes with isoproterenol and isobutylmethylxanthine disperses CGI-58 from the surfaces of lipid droplets to a cytoplasmic distribution. This shift in subcellular localization can be reversed by the addition of propanolol to the culture medium. Thus, CGI-58 binds to perilipin A-coated lipid droplets in a manner that is dependent upon the metabolic status of the adipocyte and the activity of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. 相似文献

Fat-specific protein 27, a novel lipid droplet protein that enhances triglyceride storage 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

Fat-specific protein (FSP)27/Cidec is most highly expressed in white and brown adipose tissues and increases in abundance by over 50-fold during adipogenesis. However, its function in adipocytes has remained elusive since its discovery over 15 years ago. Here we demonstrate that FSP27/Cidec localizes to lipid droplets in cultured adipocytes and functions to promote lipid accumulation. Ectopically expressed FSP27-GFP surrounds lipid droplets in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and colocalizes with the known lipid droplet protein perilipin. Immunostaining of endogenous FSP27 in 3T3-L1 adipocytes also confirmed its presence on lipid droplets. FSP27-GFP expression also markedly increases lipid droplet size and enhances accumulation of total neutral lipids in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes as well as other cell types such as COS cells. Conversely, RNA interference-based FSP27/Cidec depletion in mature adipocytes significantly stimulates lipolysis and reduces the size of lipid droplets. These data reveal FSP27/Cidec as a novel adipocyte lipid droplet protein that negatively regulates lipolysis and promotes triglyceride accumulation. 相似文献

On the basis of structural observations bovine oocytes were grouped into four successive classed: 0, those before the luteinizing hormone (LH) surge; 1, those up to 8 h following the LH peak level; 2, those between 8 and 19 h after the LH peak level; and 3, those between 19 h after the LH peak level and ovulation. Oocytes in class 0 had mitochondria located in a generally peripheral position. Interior to the mitochondria were elements of rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and numerous membrane-bound vesicles which bore ribosome-like particles on their outer surface. The first visible changesater the LH peak level as seen in class 1 were the formation of the periviteline space with loss of contact between the cumulus cells and the oocyte, and ruffing of the nuclear envelope. These changes were followed b the resumption of meiosis as defined by germinal-vesicle breakdown (GVBD), the disappearance of RER, and the formation fo clusters of mitochondria in association with lipid droplets and elementrs of smooth endolasmic reticulum (SER). The period between 8 and 19 h following LH peak level (class 2) was characterized by intensive clustering of mitochoncria in association with lipid droplets and elements of SER, conversion of lipid, fusion of vesicles, and the appearance of ribosomes in the cytoplasm. During the final stage (class 3), the polar body was extruded, the mitochondria dispersed, and the majority of the organelles became located toward the center of the cell. The relatively organelle-free cortical region contained cortical granules immediately adjacent to the plasma membrane together with aggregates of tubular SER. The structural changes are discussed in the context of follicular steroidogenesis and oocyte developmental competence. 相似文献

The virus-host interactions between Japanese encephalitis (JE) virus and mouse brain neurons were analyzed by electron microscopy.
JE virus replicated exclusively in the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) of neurons. In the early phase of infection, the
perikaryon of infected neurons had relatively normal-looking lamellar RER whose cisternae showed focal dilations containing
progeny virions and characteristic endoplasmic reticulum (ER) vesicles. The reticular RER, consisted of rows of ribosomes
surrounding irregular-shaped, membrane-unbounded cisternae and resembled that observed in JE-virus-infected PC12 cells, were
also seen adjacent to the lamellar RER. The appearance of the reticular RER indicated that RER morphogenesis occurred in infected
neurons in association with the viral replication. The fine network of Golgi apparatus was extensively obliterated by fragmentation
and dissolution of the Golgi membranes and their replacement by the electron-lucent material. As the infection progressed,
the lamellar RER was increasingly replaced by the hypertrophic RER which had diffusely dilated cisternae containing multiple
progeny virions and ER vesicles. The Golgi apparatus, at this stage, was seen as coarse, localized Golgi complexes near the
hypertrophic RER. In the later phase of infection, RER of infected neurons showed a degenerative change, with the cystically
dilated cisternae being filled with ER vesicles and virions. Small, localized Golgi complexes frequently showed vesiculation,
vacuolation, and dispersion. The present study, therefore, indicated that during the viral replication the normal lamellar
RER which synthesized neuronal secretory and membrane proteins was replaced by the hypertrophic RER which synthesized the
viral proteins. The hypertrophic RER eventually degenerated into cystic RER whose cisternae were filled with viral products.
The constant degenerative change which occurred in the Golgi apparatus during the viral replication suggested that some of
the viral proteins transported from RER to the Golgi apparatus were harmful to the Golgi apparatus and that increasing damage
to the Golgi apparatus during the viral replication played the principal role in the pathogenesis of JE-virus-infected neurons
in the central nervous system. 相似文献

Lipid droplets are intracellular energy storage organelles composed of a hydrophobic core of neutral lipid, surrounded by a monolayer of phospholipid and a diverse array of proteins. The function of the vast majority of these proteins with regard to the formation and/or turnover of lipid droplets is unknown. Our laboratory was the first to report that microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP), a lipid transfer protein essential for the assembly of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, was expressed in adipose tissue of humans and mice. In addition, our studies suggested that MTP was associated with lipid droplets in both brown and white fat. Our observations led us to hypothesize that MTP plays a key role in lipid droplet formation and/or turnover. The objective of these studies was to gain insight into the function of MTP in adipocytes. Using molecular, biochemical, and morphologic approaches we have shown: 1) MTP protein levels increase nearly five-fold as 3T3-L1 cells differentiate into adipocytes. 2) As 3T3-L1 cells undergo differentiation, MTP moves from the juxtanuclear region of the cell to the surface of lipid droplets. MTP and perilipin 2, a major lipid droplet surface protein, are found on the same droplets; however, MTP does not co-localize with perilipin 2. 3) Inhibition of MTP activity has no effect on the movement of triglyceride out of the cell either as a lipid complex or via lipolysis. 4) MTP is found associated with lipid droplets within hepatocytes from human fatty livers, suggesting that association of MTP with lipid droplets is not restricted to adipocytes. In summary, our data demonstrate that MTP is a lipid droplet-associated protein. Its location on the surface of the droplet in adipocytes and hepatocytes, coupled with its known function as a lipid transfer protein and its increased expression during adipocyte differentiation suggest a role in lipid droplet biology. 相似文献

Cytological development in the fat body of adult female Locusta migratoria, related to vitellogenin synthesis, has been studied by light and electron microscopy. In the newly-emerged adult, the cells are filled with lipid droplets, which indent the nucleus, and with fields of glycogen, while ribosomes and endoplasmic reticulum are scarce. Correlated with the onset of vitellogenin synthesis, about day 8 of adult life, the nucleus enlarges, lipid droplets and glycogen decrease, and rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complexes become the most abundant organelles. These changes reflect a conversion of the principal role of the fat body from nutrient storage to the synthesis and secretion of protein. They are prevented by allatectomy, and restored by subsequent treatment with the juvenile hormone analogue, ZR-515. Late in the first gonotrophic cycle, about day 20, dense bodies, vesicle-containing bodies and lysosomes are seen, indicating recycling of cellular materials. Five days after ZR-515 treatment, when protein synthesis has declined, the rough endoplasmic reticulum appears in arrays adjacent to lipid droplets, possibly awaiting reactivation. By the use of ferritin-labelled antivitellin immunoglobulin, vitellogenin has been localized intracellularly in the RER saccules and Golgi vesicles, and extracellularly in channels between the folded plasma membranes, showing sites of accumulation and secretion of this protein. 相似文献

Summary Osmiophilic granules ofOrnithogalum umbellatum lipotubuloids are surrounded by half unit membranes 2–3 nm thick and are filled with nearly homogenous osmiophilic material. It is the presence of this single line membrane that distinguishes the osmiophilic granules from bodies surrounded by tripartite unit membranes (lysosomes, peroxisomes, glyoxysomes) and allows to recognize them as lipid droplets. 相似文献

The gular gland of the bat Tadarida brasiliensis is a specialized sebaceous gland located in the skin of the suprasternal region of adult males. It consists of an aggregation of simple branched tubulo-acinar gland units, the number of which varies seasonally. Each acinus is composed of densely packed sebaceous cells at various stages of differentiation. Acinar basal cells and cells of the epithelium of the ducts can differentiate into sebaceous cells. Two main changes appear in the cytoplasm concurrent with the sebaceous transformation: the differentiation of cytoplasmic organelles and the deposition of lipid material. The appearance of a different type of mitochondrion and the development of large numbers of ribosomes and polyribosomes can be recognized in the cytoplasm at an early stage of differentiation. Concomitant with the deposition of significant numbers of lipid droplets, the cells develop abundant agranular endoplasmic reticulum occurring mainly as scattered tubular cisternae. These at times form whorls surrounding lipid droplets. At later stages, the cisternae of the agranular endoplasmic reticulum often occur in crystalline arrays between secretory oil droplets. The roles of the different cytoplasmic organelles, especially in relation to the production of sebum, are discussed. 相似文献

An electron microscope study was made of the central cell and the development of the free nuclear endosperm surrounding the zygote and synergids during the first three days after pollination. The cytoplasm of the central cell, concentrated around the partially-fused polar nuclei, contains many ribosomes, mitochondria and large, dense, starch-containing plastids, some dictyosomes and lipid bodies, and long, single cisternae of rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) that frequently terminate in whorls. Dense, core-containing microbodies are closely associated with the RER. After fertilization the cytoplasm of the 2-and 4-nucleate endosperm shows an increase in number of dictyosomes, and in amount of RER which becomes stacked in arrays of parallel cisternae. Cup-shaped plastids are associated with many long, helical polysomes. Perinuclear aggregates of dense, granular material also appear after fertilization. Granular aggregates and helical polysomes disappear after the first few divisions of the primary endosperm nucleus. During the second and third days of development there is an increase in dictyosome number and RER proliferation, and endosperm nuclei become deeply lobed. Concurrently, there is a sharp decline in the starch and lipid reserves of the central cell and elaborate transfer walls are formed at the micropylar end of the embryo sac and on the outer surface of the degenerating synergid. The transfer walls contain groups of small, membrane-bound vesicles, and are associated with large numbers of mitochondria and with the smooth endoplasmic reticulum. 相似文献

Histochemical and ultrastructural analysis of developing adipocytes in the fetal pig 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Histochemical and ultrastructural aspects of adipocyte differentiation in subcutaneous tissue of fetal pigs were analyzed in a longitudinal study. A matrix of collagen fibers surrounding adipocytes developed after the establishment of a distinct and continuous PAS-positive basement membrane. The degree of plasma membrane invagination and specialization was positively correlated with the extent of basement membrane and collagen matrix formation. Close spatial relationships between narrow, smooth endoplasmic reticulum, plasma membrane invaginations, the surface of lipid droplets and mitochondria were observed in differentiating adipocytes. Histochemical and ultrastructural criteria for the identification of preadipocytes are: (1) perivascular location; (2) mitochondria localized in the Golgi zone; (3) cytosolic glycogen; (4) rough endoplasmic reticulum with cisternae uniformly and approximately 600 A wide; (5) free ribosomes and few polysomes, and (6) lipid droplets encased by microfilaments. These criteria permitted clear distinction from obvious fibroblasts and macrophages. Other stromal cells were morphologically abnormal. Occasionally, adipocytes and perivascular cells exhibited close intercellular contacts that were morphologically distinct from intercellular contacts between contiguous endothelial cells. 相似文献

Adipocytes hold the body's major energy reserve as triacylglycerols packaged in large lipid droplets. Perilipins, the most abundant proteins on these lipid droplets, play a critical role in facilitating both triacylglycerol storage and hydrolysis. The stimulation of lipolysis by beta-adrenergic agonists triggers rapid phosphorylation of perilipin and translocation of hormone-sensitive lipase to the surfaces of lipid droplets and more gradual fragmentation and dispersion of micro-lipid droplets. Because few lipid droplet-associated proteins have been identified in adipocytes, we isolated lipid droplets from basal and lipolytically stimulated 3T3-L1 adipocytes and identified the component proteins by mass spectrometry. Structural proteins identified in both preparations include perilipin, S3-12, vimentin, and TIP47; in contrast, adipophilin, caveolin-1, and tubulin selectively localized to droplets in lipolytically stimulated cells. Lipid metabolic enzymes identified in both preparations include hormone-sensitive lipase, lanosterol synthase, NAD(P)-dependent steroid dehydrogenase-like protein, acyl-CoA synthetase, long chain family member (ACSL) 1, and CGI-58. 17-beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, type 7, was identified only in basal preparations, whereas ACSL3 and 4 and two short-chain reductase/dehydrogenases were identified on droplets from lipolytically stimulated cells. Additionally, both preparations contained FSP27, ribophorin I, EHD2, diaphorase I, and ancient ubiquitous protein. Basal preparations contained CGI-49, whereas lipid droplets from lipolytically stimulated cells contained several Rab GTPases and tumor protein D54. A close association of mitochondria with lipid droplets was suggested by the identification of pyruvate carboxylase, prohibitin, and a subunit of ATP synthase in the preparations. Thus, adipocyte lipid droplets contain specific structural proteins as well as lipid metabolic enzymes; the structural reorganization of lipid droplets in response to the hormonal stimulation of lipolysis is accompanied by increases in the relative mass of several proteins and the recruitment of additional proteins. 相似文献
