Summary Morphologically detectable protein (intramembrane particles) and cholesterol (filipin labelling) in the membranes of autophagic vacuoles and lysosomes were studied in mouse hepatocytes using thin-section and freeze-fracture electron microscopy. Both isolated autophagic vacuoles and lysosomes, and intact tissue blocks were used due to the facts (i) that lysosomes are difficult to recognize in freeze-fracture replicas of intact hepatocytes, and (i) that filipin penetration into the tissue blocks is unsatisfactory. Intramembrane particle density was low in the membranes of early autophagic vacuoles (defined as round-shaped vacuoles in which an inner membrane parallel with the outer limiting membrane was clearly visible). The lysosomal membranes contained considerably more intramembrane particles. Particle-rich lysosomes or other vesicles were observed to fuse with the early autophagic vacuoles. The membranes of nascent autophagic vacuoles with morphologically intact contents were usually not labelled by filipin, whereas the membranes of all other autophagic vacuoles and lysosomes were heavily labelled. The increased cholesterol in the membranes of slightly older autophagic vacuoles is presumably derived from cholesterol-rich lysosomes or other vesicles fusing with the vacuoles and from the degrading organelles inside the autophagic vacuoles. 相似文献

The rat ganglion nodosum was used to study chromatolysis following axon section. After fixation by aldehyde perfusion, frozen sections were incubated for enzyme activities used as markers for cytoplasmic organelles as follows: acid phosphatase for lysosomes and GERL (a Golgi-related region of smooth endoplasmic reticulum from which lysosomes appear to develop) (31–33); inosine diphosphatase for endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus; thiamine pyrophosphatase for Golgi apparatus; acetycholinesterase for Nissl substance (endoplasmic reticulum); NADH-tetra-Nitro BT reductase for mitochondria. All but the mitochondrial enzyme were studied by electron microscopy as well as light microscopy. In chromatolytic perikarya there occur disruption of the rough endoplasmic reticulum in the center of the cell and segregation of the remainder to the cell periphery. Golgi apparatus, GERL, mitochondria and lysosomes accumulate in the central region of the cell. GERL is prominent in both normal and operated perikarya. Electron microscopic images suggest that its smooth endoplasmic reticulum produces a variety of lysosomes in several ways: (a) coated vesicles that separate from the reticulum; (b) dense bodies that arise from focal areas dilated with granular or membranous material; (c) "multivesicular bodies" in which vesicles and other material are sequestered; (d) autophagic vacuoles containing endoplasmic reticulum and ribosomes, presumably derived from the Nissl material, and mitochondria. The number of autophagic vacuoles increases following operation. 相似文献

Data presented in the accompanying paper suggests nascent autophagic vacuoles are formed from RER (Dunn, W. A. 1990. J. Cell Biol. 110:1923-1933). In the present report, the maturation of newly formed or nascent autophagic vacuoles into degradative vacuoles was examined using morphological and biochemical methods combined with immunological probes. Within 15 min of formation, autophagic vacuoles acquired acid hydrolases and lysosomal membrane proteins, thus becoming degradative vacuoles. A previously undescribed type of autophagic vacuole was also identified having characteristics of both nascent and degradative vacuoles, but was different from lysosomes. This intermediate compartment contained only small amounts of cathepsin L in comparison to lysosomes and was bound by a double membrane, typical of nascent vacuoles. However, unlike nascent vacuoles vet comparable to degradative vacuoles, these vacuoles were acidic and contained the lysosomal membrane protein, lgp120, at the outer limiting membrane. The results were consistent with the stepwise acquisition of lysosomal membrane proteins and hydrolases. The presence of mannose-6-phosphate receptor in autophagic vacuoles suggested a possible role of this receptor in the delivery of newly synthesized hydrolases from the Golgi apparatus. However, tunicamycin had no significant effect on the amount of mature acid hydrolases present in a preparation of autophagic vacuoles isolated from a metrizamide gradient. Combined, the results suggested nascent autophagic vacuoles mature into degradative vacuoles in a stepwise fashion: (a) acquisition of lysosomal membrane proteins by fusing with a vesicle deficient in hydrolytic enzymes (e.g., prelysosome); (b) vacuole acidification; and (c) acquisition of hydrolases by fusing with preexisting lysosomes or Golgi apparatus-derived vesicles. 相似文献

The ultrastructure of the adrenal zona glomerulosa was examined in hypophysectomized female Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus). After 3 weeks, the width of the zona glomerulosa increased significantly. As early as 2 weeks, the smooth endoplasmic reticulum became hypertrophic and the Golgi apparatus was well developed. Two populations of coated vesicles were observed with increased frequency in zona glomerulosa cells of hypophysectomized gerbils 相似文献

Autophagosome formation: core machinery and adaptations 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
Eukaryotic cells employ autophagy to degrade damaged or obsolete organelles and proteins. Central to this process is the formation of autophagosomes, double-membrane vesicles responsible for delivering cytoplasmic material to lysosomes. In the past decade many autophagy-related genes, ATG, have been identified that are required for selective and/or nonselective autophagic functions. In all types of autophagy, a core molecular machinery has a critical role in forming sequestering vesicles, the autophagosome, which is the hallmark morphological feature of this dynamic process. Additional components allow autophagy to adapt to the changing needs of the cell. 相似文献

Acetylated low-density lipoprotein is endocytosed through coated pits by rat peritoneal macrophages 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

The surface distribution of the scavenger receptors for acetylated low-density lipoprotein (acetyl-LDL) and their endocytic behavior were studied by the direct immunoperoxidase method using monomeric conjugates of horseradish peroxidase with Fab' antibody raised against LDL. The receptors were demonstrated to be distributed diffusely on the surface membrane of cultured peritoneal macrophages, with preferential localization in coated pit regions. With temperature shift from 4 degrees C to 37 degrees C, acetyl-LDL bound to the surface membrane rapidly disappeared, but became detectable in coated vesicles or lysosomes. Further incubation in the presence of acetyl-LDL revealed lipid vacuoles devoid of a limiting membrane in the cytoplasm, transforming macrophages into typical foam cells. These data suggest that the binding of acetyl-LDL to its receptors triggers the clustering of the receptors into the coated pit regions through which acetyl-LDL is endocytosed by coated vesicles to be degraded in lysosomes with subsequent intracellular accumulation of cholesterol esters. 相似文献

The mechanisms of enzyme delivery to and acidification of early autophagic vacuoles in cultured fibroblasts were elucidated by cryoimmunoelectron microscopic methods. The cation-independent mannose-6-phosphate receptor (MPR) was used as a marker of the pre-lysosomal compartment, and cathepsin L and an acidotropic amine (3-(2,4-dinitroanilino)-3'-amino-N-methyl-dipropylamine (DAMP), a cytochemical probe for low-pH organelles) as markers of both pre-lysosomal and lysosomal compartments. In addition, cationized ferritin was used as an endocytic marker. In ultrastructural double labeling experiments, the bulk of all the antigens was found in vesicles containing tightly packed membrane material. These vesicles also contained small amounts of endocytosed ferritin and probably correspond to the MPR-enriched pre-lysosomal compartment. Some immunolabeling was also visible in the trans-Golgi network. In addition, cathepsin L, DAMP, and large amounts of ferritin were found in smaller vesicles which can be classified as mature lysosomes. Early autophagic vacuoles were defined as vesicles containing recognizable cytoplasm. MPR, cathepsin L, and DAMP, but not ferritin, were detected in the early vacuoles. Inhibition of the acidification in the early vacuoles by monensin did not prevent the delivery of MPR and cathepsin L. The presence of MPR in the vacuoles suggests that cathepsin L is not delivered to early autophagic vacuoles solely by fusion with mature, MPR-deficient lysosomes. Furthermore, although lysosomes were loaded with endocytosed ferritin, it was not detected in autophagic vacuoles. Either the trans-Golgi network or the MPR-enriched pre-lysosomes may be the main source of enzymes and acidification machinery for the autophagic vacuoles in fibroblasts.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Light and electron microscopic immunocytochemical localization of clathrin in rat cerebellum and kidney 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The precise cellular and subcellular locations of coated vesicle protein, clathrin, in rat kidney and cerebellum have been visualized by immunocytochemical techniques. In the renal tubular epithelia, clathrin-positive products were found on both free ribosomes and on those attached to rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and the nuclear envelope. No clathrin was observed in the cisternae of RER or the Golgi apparatus. Clathrin-positive reaction products could also be seen on coated pits, coated vesicles, Golgi-associated vesicles, basolateral cell membrane, the ground substance, and in the autophagic vacuoles. In cerebellar Purkinje and granule cell bodies, reaction products were seen localized on coated vesicles, on the budding areas from the Golgi-associated membrane and Golgi-associated vesicles. Furthermore, the membrane of the multivesicular body, the bound-ribosomes, and the ground substance were also stained. In the myelinated axon, the clathrin appeared to be concentrated on certain segments and seemed to fill in the space between neurotubules and some vesicles. In certain synaptic terminals clathrin was often seen attached to presynaptic vesicles, presynaptic membrane, and post-synaptic membrane. However, in most mossy fibers, some synaptic vesicles were not stained. These observations suggest that clathrin is synthesized on bound and free ribosomes and discharged into the cytosol where it becomes associated with a variety of ground substances and assembles on coated pits, coated vesicles, Golgi-associated vesicles, presynaptic vesicles, and pre- and postsynaptic membranes. Clathrin may be finally degraded in autophagic vacuoles. 相似文献

In isolated rat hepatocytes, electroinjected [14C]sucrose is sequestered both by mitochondria and by autophagosomes/lysosomes. Radioactivity can be selectively extracted from the latter organelles by low concentrations of digitonin, thereby providing a specific bioassay for autophagic sequestration. By including a digitonin extraction step in the assay procedure, autophagic [14C]sucrose sequestration could be shown to be virtually completely (greater than 90%) suppressed by the autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (10 mM), whereas mitochondrial sugar uptake was unaffected. An amino acid mixture likewise suppressed autophagic sequestration very strongly, while having no detectable effect on the mitochondria. 相似文献

内分泌细胞中溶酶体对激素分泌调节的作用 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Enzyme cytochemistry and immunocytochemistry were utilized to study the morphological alterations of the lysosomes and associated crinophagic and autophagic structures in the hypo-secreting pituitary gonadotrophin and Leydig cells induced by exogenous androgen. The lysosomes and autophagic vacuoles in the electron micrographs were quantitatively analysed. The morphological and quantitative data led to the following conclusions: 1) The hypo-secreting gonadotrophin showed an increase in the number of lysosomes and an enhancement of crinophagy. It demonstrated once again that the lysosomes in the protein and polypeptide hormone secreting cells play a role in the regulation of secretion process by means of the crinophagy. 2) The hypo-secreting Leydig cells showed an increase in the number of lysosomes and an enhancement of autophagic activity. This indicated that the lysosomes in the steroid hormone secreting cells also function in the regulation of hormone secretion but by means of autophagy which scavenge a part of steroid-producing apparatus and hormone. The autophagy might have similar effect in regulation of steroid secretion to the crinophagy in regulation of protein secretion. 相似文献

Under the light microscope, large and small types of spinal ganglion cells can be seen in the mouse. Among those of the small type bipolar cells are observed. By electron microscopy, the cells of the large type have a low electron density and those of the small type a high electron density. Bipolar cells continue to be observed among the latter. The cells of the spinal ganglia contain different cellular apparatus in enormous quantity. There are four kinds of lysosomes in the GERL, i.e. the coated vesicles, dense bodies, multivesicular bodies and autophagic vacuoles. 相似文献

Distribution of Acid Phosphatase in Paramecium caudatum: Its Relations with the Process of Digestion
JEAN-CLAUDE ESTEVE 《The Journal of eukaryotic microbiology》1970,17(1):24-35
SYNOPSIS. The distribution of acid phosphatase was investigated at the ultrastructural level in Paramecium caudatum. Acid phosphatase occurs in endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, food vacuoles, autophagic vesicles, vacuolar and dense bodies. Some slight deposits are also seen in the mitochondria.
These observations point out that this hydrolase activity is related to digestive processes. The enzyme, originating from the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus reaches the food vacuole or autophagic vesicle likely via the reticulum. The digestion of the bacteria or of the enclosed organelle gives rise to electronopaque material which is later found in dense bodies. These dense bodies are likely secondary lysosomes and it is possible that they may fuse with the young food vacuole or with autophagic vesicles. 相似文献

The Golgi apparatus of the endometrial stromal cells of pregnant mice increases in size simultaneously with the differentiation of stromal cells into decidual cells. The activity of acid phosphatase in this organelle increases during this stage. On the other hand, the involuting decidual cells show morphological and cytochemical signs of Golgi regression (dilated cisternae, lack of enzymatic activity) together with the finding of numerous, pleomorphic lysosomes that have intense cytochemical label. These results confirm morphological data suggesting that decidual cell death occurs by autophagic degeneration. 相似文献

The number of autophagic vacuoles in the proximal tubule cells of the rat kidney increased considerably after 3 h of vinblastine treatment. This increase was paralleled by stimulated proteolysis in an homogenate prepared from the cortex. We have taken advantage of this expansion in autophagic vacuoles in an effort to isolate these organelles from rat kidney cortex on a discontinuous Metrizamide gradient. Autophagic vacuoles have recently been purified from liver but not from other tissues. The purity of the isolated fraction was 95% of which 55% consisted of typical intact autophagic vacuoles containing sequestered organelles and 45% of other types of secondary lysosome. On plane section many of these displayed one or several intramatrical vesicles or flap like processes forming apparent vesicles at the pole of the organelles, which occasionally contained pinocytosed membranous material. These lysosomes were designated microautophagic vacuoles. It is suggested that the microautophagic vacuoles could be the morphological expression of uptake into lysosomes of small portions of cytosol. The isolated autophagic vacuole fraction was enriched in lysosomal enzymes (acid phosphatase and cathepsin D activities) and displayed high proteolytic rates, especially at acid pH. 相似文献

The endocytic compartments of the asialoglycoprotein (ASGP) pathway in rat hepatocytes were studied using a combined morphological and biochemical approach in the isolated perfused liver. Use of electron microscopic tracers and a temperature-shift protocol to synchronize ligand entry confirmed the route of ASGP internalization observed in our previous in vivo studies (1) and established conditions under which we could label the contents of successive compartments in the pathway for subcellular fractionation studies. Three endosomal compartments were demonstrated in which ASGPs appear after they enter the cell via coated pits and vesicles but before they reach their site of degradation in lysosomes. These three compartments could be distinguished by their location within the hepatocyte, by their morphological appearance in situ, and by their density in sucrose gradients. The distributions of ASGP receptors, both accessible and latent (revealed by detergent permeabilization), were also examined and compared with that of ligand during subcellular fractionation. Most accessible ASGP receptors co-distributed with conventional plasma membrane markers. However, hepatocytes contain a substantial intracellular pool of latent ASGP binding sites that exceeds the number of cell surface receptors and whose presence is not dependent on ASGP exposure. The distribution of these latent ASGP receptors on sucrose gradients (detected either immunologically or by binding assays) was coincident with that of ligand sequestered within the early endosome compartments. In addition, both early endosomes and the membrane vesicles containing latent ASGP receptors had high cholesterol content, because both shifted markedly in density upon exposure to digitonin. 相似文献

Autophagy is disrupted in a knock-in mouse model of juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Cao Y Espinola JA Fossale E Massey AC Cuervo AM MacDonald ME Cotman SL 《The Journal of biological chemistry》2006,281(29):20483-20493
Juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis is caused by mutation of a novel, endosomal/lysosomal membrane protein encoded by CLN3. The observation that the mitochondrial ATPase subunit c protein accumulates in this disease suggests that autophagy, a pathway that regulates mitochondrial turnover, may be disrupted. To test this hypothesis, we examined the autophagic pathway in Cln3(Deltaex7/8) knock-in mice and CbCln3(Deltaex7/8) cerebellar cells, accurate genetic models of juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis. In homozygous knock-in mice, we found that the autophagy marker LC3-II was increased, and mammalian target of rapamycin was down-regulated. Moreover, isolated autophagic vacuoles and lysosomes from homozygous knock-in mice were less mature in their ultrastructural morphology than the wild-type organelles, and subunit c accumulated in autophagic vacuoles. Intriguingly, we also observed subunit c accumulation in autophagic vacuoles in normal aging mice. Upon further investigation of the autophagic pathway in homozygous knock-in cerebellar cells, we found that LC3-positive vesicles were altered and overlap of endocytic and lysosomal dyes was reduced when autophagy was stimulated, compared with wildtype cells. Surprisingly, however, stimulation of autophagy did not significantly impact cell survival, but inhibition of autophagy led to cell death. Together these observations suggest that autophagy is disrupted in juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, likely at the level of autophagic vacuolar maturation, and that activation of autophagy may be a prosurvival feedback response in the disease process. 相似文献

A fluorescence assay was developed to measure the rate of fusion of highly purified clathrin-coated vesicles isolated from bovine brain with purified lysosomes isolated from bovine kidney. Coated vesicles and stripped vesicles, prepared by removal of clathrin from coated vesicles with dilute alkaline buffer, were labeled with the nonfluorescent dye 6-carboxydiacetylfluorescein. Fusion of the vesicles with lysosomes resulted in mixing of the vesicle contents and exposure of 6-carboxydiacetylfluorescein to lysosomal esterases, which hydrolyze the probe's acetate groups to give the fluorescent 6-carboxyfluorescein. Fusion was therefore measured by recording the increase in fluorescence obtained upon mixing the vesicles with lysosomes. The results of the experiments indicated that the clathrin coat of coated vesicles inhibited the fusion of the vesicle membrane with that of the lysosome. In addition, fusion appears to require free Ca2+ and does not require vesicle-surface protein. 相似文献

In experiments on the rats there were identified two types of neurons, which age differentiated by their ability to form the coated vesicles in response to the administration of uridine. Presence or absence of the uridine receptors on the neuronal plasmalemmae causes different reaction of the neurons on the action of uridine. Coated vesicles transfer uridine to the lysosomes, where it degrades. Appearance of subsurface cisternae is a compensatory reaction on the deficit of neuronal plasmalemmae, which is necessary for the formation of coated vesicles. The satellite glia is the most resistant for the action of uridine. 相似文献
