The caudal musculature of ascidian tadpole larvae consists of mononucleated muscle cells joined end to end in long rows flanking the notochord. A comparative study of the fine structure of these cells in larvae from different families has revealed wide variations in the pattern of organization of the sarcotubular system. The species examined can be distinguished in two groups according to the presence or absence of a system of plasma membrane invaginations equivalent to the T system of vertebrate and invertebrate striated muscle. Muscle cells from the first group of species, Clavelina lepadiformis, Ciona intestinalis and Molgula socialis, are characterized by absence of T system and show peripheral couplings of sarcoplasmic reticulum cisternae directly with the plasma membrane. In contrast, a T system is present in muscle cells of Diplosoma listerianum, Styela plicata and Botrylloides leachi. The presence of T system in ascidian muscle is not related to the taxonomic position of the various species, but rather to the intracellular disposition of the myofibrils, which are peripheral in the species of the first group whereas they occupy a more internal position in the species of the second group. The T system displays unique structural features in ascidian muscle. It consists of wide laminae invaginating from the plasma membrane and associated in longitudinally oriented dyads with sarcoplasmic reticulum cisternae in register with the I band of the myofibrils. It is apparent from these observations that, in contrast with the uniformity of myofibrillar structure in all chordates, there are basic differences between ascidians and vertebrates as regards the organization of the sarcotubular system. On the other hand, there are significant similarities in this respect between ascidian and invertebrate muscle. 相似文献

We have compared the effect of two different procedures, equally effective in preventing muscle cell fusion in culture, on the development of the sarcotubular system in rat muscle cells. Whereas in myoblasts grown in low Ca++ medium the T system was poorly developed and diadic or triadic couplings between T tubules and sarcoplasmic reticulum were rare, in cytochalasin B-treated myoblasts the development of the sarcotubular system was comparable to that seen in myotubes of the same age. We conclude that (a) muscle cell fusion is not essential for the development of the sarcotubular system, and (b) procedures used to prevent cell fusion in vitro may affect directly muscle cell differentiation by a process independent of the fusion block. 相似文献

Effect of anabolic steroids on mitochondria and sarcotubular system of skeletal muscle. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Soleus and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) mitochondria and sarcotubular system were examined in sedentary and trained (treadmill for 12 wk) male rats that were treated with fluoxymesterone or methandrostanolone (2 mg/kg, 5 days/wk, for 8 wk). Neither physical exercise nor anabolic/androgenic steroid administration resulted in a significant change in muscle wet weight. Treatment with the anabolizing androgens increased succinate dehydrogenase activity in fast-twitch muscle mitochondria; this effect was not enhanced by training and was not observed in soleus mitochondria. On the other hand, the content of the slow-twitch muscle in sarcotubular fraction was increased in sedentary rats by fluoxymesterone or methandrostanolone treatment, whereas no significant changes were found in EDL. The training program affected adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) activities in the sarcotubular fraction; Mg2(+)-ATPase was increased in both soleus and EDL, but Ca2(+)-ATPase was decreased only in soleus. However, in sedentary animals only the Mg2(+)-dependent activity of EDL was increased by anabolizing androgen treatment, and this change was not potentiated by additional training. The present data indicate that anabolic/androgenic steroids can affect mitochondrial and sarcotubular enzymes in skeletal muscle. The effects are muscle-type specific. 相似文献

Summary Dilations of the sarcotubular system and misaligned myofilaments have been reported as early indicators of muscular dystrophy in skeletal muscle. Since the developing tubular component is believed instrumental in initial myofilament alignment during myogenesis, tubular development is evaluated using normal and dystrophic chick embryo skeletal muscle and cultures of normal and dystrophic embryonic pectoral muscle incubated in the presence of horse spleen ferritin. Comparisons of the findings show that periodic tubules are absent from dystrophic somitic muscle and that invaginating tubules from the sarcolemma are found in fewer, randomly located areas of dystrophic pectoral muscle cells. The results indicate that the tubular component is not involved in the bizarre vesiculations seen in mature dystrophic muscle, however, the malalignment of dystrophic myofilaments is probably the result of the poorer development of the T system in this muscle. 相似文献

Brief treatment with 10(-4)M diisopropylfluorophosphate (DEP) irreversibly inactivates acetylcholinesterase (E.C.3.1.1.7; acetylcholine hydrolase) (AChE) activity in 10 day old chick embryonic muscle cultures. Electron microscopic cytochemistry was employed to follow the distribution of new AChE during recovery from DEP treatment. In normal 10 day cultures of embryo pectoralis muscles AChE is localized in the nuclear envelope, perinuclear sarcoplasm, sarcotubular system, subsurface vesicles and bound outside the cells. Immediately after DFP treatment AChE activity is absent in large myotubes. Within 15 min, activity is randomly present in small amounts in the sarcotubular system and nuclear envelope. There is a dramatic increase in activitv in the nuclear envelope during the 1st hr of recovery, and connections between the nuclear envelope and sarcotubular system are often seen. The next few hr of recovery show increased AChE activity. By 4 hr activity approaches that of controls. Six to 8 hr after treatment, AChE activity can be detected spectrophotometrically in the medium and can be seen bound outside the cells with the electron microscope. The spatial and temporal patterns of AChE activity demonstrate that the recovery of AChE and its mobilization and release from DFP-treated cells are not governed solely by the levels attained by the enzyme in the cultured embryo muscle. 相似文献

In vitro differentiation in the absence of nerve of avian myoblasts derived from slow and fast muscle rudiments 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Slow anterior latissimus dorsi (ALD) and fast posterior latissimus dorsi (PLD) muscles of 9-day-old quail embryos were cultured in vitro without neurons for 1 to 12 weeks. Several differences could be observed between ALD- and PLD-derived cells. PLD cultures proliferated less rapidly than ALD cultures. ALD-derived muscle fibres exhibited wide Z lines, numerous mitochondria, and a poorly developed sarcotubular system, while PLD-derived muscle fibres exhibited narrow Z lines, few mitochondria, and an abundant sarcotubular system. Staining for myofibrillar ATPase revealed that all well-differentiated ALD-derived muscle fibres were of the beta' type, while PLD-derived fibres were of beta and beta R types. These results show that myoblasts from slow and fast muscle rudiments can express in vitro some of the characteristic features of slow and fast muscle fibres, independently of motor innervation. 相似文献

The cytological characteristics of two modes of muscle hypertrophy were studied in the extensor digitorum longus muscle of the rat. Comprensatory hypertrophy (CH) was produced by tenotomy of the tibialis anterior muscle and work-induced hypertrophy (WIH) was produced by forced swimming of the animal. While both methods produced an increase in muscle weight and cell size, these two parameters did not correlate. Morphometric analyses of the hypertrophied muscle cells demonstrated that in CH-muscle there was an increase in mitochondrial volume density, a decrease in myofibrillar volume density and no change in sarcotubular or nuclear volume density. WIH-muscle demonstrated an increase in sarcotubular volume density but no change in mitochondrial, myofibrillar or nuclear volume density. It is concluded that in CH-muscle, the cell volume increase is attributable to mitochondrial volume increase and that there is no increase in the contratile myofibrillar component of the cell. WIH-muscle, on the other hand, has a cell volume increase which is attributable to a proportional increase in these organelles. 相似文献

A comparative analysis of changes in ultrastructure of neuro-muscular synapses of three types has been studied in the rat diaphragmal muscle at an acute poisoning with chlorophos. A high stability to the damaging action of chlorophos in white muscle fibers has been revealed in comparison with other types. The most essential changes of the ultrastructure have taken place in slow intermediate fibers. These differences are evidently connected with certain peculiarities in morphofunctional organization of calcium-sequestring ++ components of three types of muscle fibers (sarcotubular system, mitochondria) and presence of parvalbulin. 相似文献

The structure of the sarcotubular systems of the caudal muscle cells is described in various larvaceans. In Oikopleura there is both a transverse tubular system and a sarcoplasmic reticulum; there are internal couplings between the two and also sarcolemmal couplings. In Fritillaria (and probably also in Kowalevskaia), a transverse tubular system is lacking, and there are only sarcolemmal couplings with the sarcoplasmic reticulum, which is related to the mitochondria as well as to the myofilaments. The significance of these differences is discussed, and it is concluded that the arrangement of the sarcotubular systems is related to muscle fibre thickness; within the Tunicata, these systems do not indicate phylogenetic relationships. 相似文献

Homogenates of rat skeletal muscle yield on centrifugation a particulate fraction containing relatively large vesicles capable of calcium uptake and a second fraction of smaller vesicles devoid of this capacity. Presumably the vesicles are derived from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. The glycogen synthase, adenyl cyclase, and phospho-diesterase specific activities are similar in both fractions, while in fractions of muscle from diabetic rats there are increased adenyl cyclase specific activities compared to muscle from normal rats. These results are in accord with the hypothesis that insulin acts upon the sarcotubular system of muscle. 相似文献

An electron microscope study has been carried out on rat psoas muscle, during the early postnatal stages of development. Among the several subcellular components, the sarcotubular system undergoes the most striking modifications during this period. In muscle fibers of the newborn rat, junctional contacts between the T system and the SR are sparse and are, mostly, longitudinally or obliquely oriented. The T tubules do not penetrate deeply into the muscle cell, as indicated by the predominantly peripheral location of the triads and the persistence, at these stages of development, of a highly branched subsarcolemmal system of tubules. Diadic associations of junctional SR elements with the plasma membrane are also occasionally observed. The early SR elaborations incompletely delineate the myofibrils, at both the A- and I-band level. Longitudinal sections show irregularly oriented SR tubules, running continuously over successive sarcomeres. Flattened junctional cisterns filled with granular material are sparse and laterally interconnected, at circumscribed sites, with the SR tubules. Between 1 and 2 wk postpartum, transversal triadic contacts are extensively established, at the A-I band level, and the SR network differentiates into two portions in register with the A and I band, respectively. At 10–15 days after birth, the SR provides a transversely continuous double sheet around the myofibrils at the I-band level, whereas it forms a single discontinuous layer at the A-band level. The relationship that these morphological modifications of the sarcotubular system may bear to previously described biochemical and physiological changes of rat muscle fibers after birth is discussed. 相似文献

In vivo evolutive aspects of muscular dysgenesis were studied in normal and crooked neck dwarf (cn/cn) 7.5- to 20-day chick embryos. Wing, leg and breast muscles were processed for electron microscopy. It appears that the effects of the gene cn are expressed in the multinucleated cells as fine structural aberrations. Dilatation of the sarcotubular system, partial loss of the contractile elements and malorganization of the myofibrils are the major anomalies observed from day 7.5 to 18 of incubation. These changes do not constitute an abrupt phenomenon. Normal and diseased multinucleated cells always coexist in the same muscle specimen; however the frequency of the pathological cells augments with time. At the end of the incubation period, the poorly organized muscle tissue contains only morbid muscle cells. Phagocytosis or autolysis are absent. 相似文献

In the frog skeletal muscle cell a well defined and highly organized system of tubular elements is located in the sarcoplasm between the myofibrils. The sarcoplasmic component is called the sarcotubular system. By means of differential centrifugation it has been possible to isolate from the frog muscle homogenate a fraction composed of small vesicles, tubules, and particles. This fraction is without cytochrome oxidase activity, which is localized in the mitochondrial membranes. This indicates that the structural components of this fraction do not derive from the mitochondrial fragmentation, but probably from the sarcotubular system. This fraction, called sarcotubular fraction, has a Mg++-stimulated ATPase activity which differs from that of muscle mitochondria in that it is 3 to 4 times higher on the protein basis as compared with the mitochondrial ATPase, and is inhibited by Ca++ and by deoxycholate like the Kielley and Meyerhof ATPase. We therefore conclude that the "granules" of the Kielley and Meyerhof ATPase, which were shown to have a relaxing effect, are fragments of the sarcotubular system. The isolated sarcotubular fraction has a high RNA content and demonstrable activity in incorporating labeled amino acids, even in the absence of added supernatant. 相似文献

Denervated fast-twitch rabbit muscles were progressively losing their fresh weight and the yield of sarcotubular protein was increasing. The activity of Ca(2+)-ATPase was affected but very slightly, the basal Mg(2+)-ATPase and the Mg(2+)-ATPase/Ca(2+)-ATPase ratio however increased together with a simultaneous depression of the membrane-bound acetylcholinesterase activity. We did not observe any differences in density properties of sarcotubular fractions between control and denervated muscle. However, a relative enrichment in SM and H fraction could be seen after denervation with small changes in the content of the Ca(2+)-pump protein, increased levels of calsequestrin and cholesterol, mostly in the heavy and the SM fraction. After denervation the binding sites for 3H-PN-200-110 did not show any changes in receptor affinity, but the number of putative Ca(2+)-channels increased twice along with a depression of 3H-ouabain binding sites. We suggest that the denervation of fast-twitch muscle leads to the hypertrophy of the junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum and the T-system. Changes in the cholesterol content, in the number of putative Ca(2+)-channels and in Na+, K(+)-ATPase can affect the muscle contraction. 相似文献

Skeletal muscles which have been soaked for 1 hr in a glycerol-Ringer solution and then returned to normal Ringer solution have a disrupted sarcotubular system. The effect is associated with the return to Ringer's since muscles have normal fine structure while still in glycerol-Ringer's. Karnovsky's peroxidase method was found to be a very reliable marker of extracellular space, filling 98.5% of the tubules in normal muscle. It was interesting to note that only 84.1% of the sarcomeres in normal muscle have transverse tubules. The sarcotubular system was essentially absent from glycerol-treated muscle fibers, only 2 % of the tubular system remaining connected to the extracellular space; the intact remnants were stumps extending only a few micra into the fiber. Thus, glycerol-treated muscle fibers provide a preparation of skeletal muscle with little sarcotubular system. Since the sarcoplasmic reticulum is not destroyed and the sarcolemma and myofilaments are intact in this preparation, of the properties of the sarcolemma may thus be separated from those of the tubular system. 相似文献

Summary In Solenopsis spp., muscle histolysis or breakdown is a normal process in females and is initiated in the flight muscles only immediately after a mating flight. Information regarding the presence of the oxyradical scavenging enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) and the formation of the radical oxygen intermediate superoxide (SO) during the early stages of flight muscle histolysis in this insect was investigated. In normal fibrillar flight muscles from control animals, SOD was immunolocalized to vesicular and tubular components of the sarcotubular system. Lanthanum tracer studies indicated that some of these SOD-positive structures might be tubulovesicles continuous with the extracellular space. Following the injection of virgin alates with experimental haemolymph obtained from artificially inseminated females, the membrane delimited elements of the sarcotubular system became increasingly swollen and dilated with time (from 60 to 120 minutes postinjection) with a concomitant decrease in SOD activity and an increase in oxyradical formation. Many similar vesicles were lanthanum-positive. SO was not seen in the sarcoplasmic vesicles and tubules of control insects. The biochemical quantification of SO release over a 2-hour period showed a marked increase in oxyradical formation following treatment with the experimental haemolymph in comparison to control insects. Also, the addition of superoxide dismutase depressed SO formation under these conditions. Despite the histochemical and biochemical changes seen in the muscles of experimental insects, by 2 hours post-treatment there was no evidence of muscle necrosis. From these studies on flight muscle histolysis/necrosis in Solenopsis it appears that the formation of oxyradicals might represent an early event in myopathogenesis and subsequent tissue involution. The generation of SO is more than likely to be associated with alterations in the normal structure, biochemistry and permeability of the biomembranes which delimit the sarcotubular system. 相似文献

Freeze-fracture and thin sections of lobster abdominal fast flexor muscle were used to study the morphology of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and T system of crustacean muscle. Tannic acid mordanting, which can result in a dense black deposit in the T system lumen, was used to distinguish T system from SR membranes. Ferritin was also used as an extracellular tracer to confirm the tannic acid method. The T system consists of an extensive network of flattened sacs which fills most of the space between the mycfibrils and is in close contact with them. The SR also appears as flattened sacs, sometimes with fenestrations. There is extensive junctional contact between the SR and T system. Quantitative estimates of the volume and surface area of the membranes show that the T system has about 50 % more surface area than the SR. The intramembrane particle (IMP) density of the PF face of the T system is about 1100/ μm2 membrane, while the IMP density of the PF face of the SR is about 4800/ μm2 membrane. In morphology, extent, and IMP density, the T system of lobster abdominal fast flexor muscle appears (AFF) adapted to provide at least part of the Ca2+ for muscle activation and the transport system for relaxation. 相似文献

Morphologic changes in Doxorubicin (DXR)-induced cardiomyopathy are characterized by marked dilatation of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). DXR was administered to New Zealand White rabbits for 5 or 8 weeks and the three-dimensional structure of the sarcotubular system in cardiac muscle cells from each rabbit was examined under a field-emission type scanning electron microscope (SEM) after removal of cytoplasmic matrices by the osmium-DMSO-osmium procedure. Five weeks after the initial injection of DXR, partial dilatation of the SR and damaged mitochondria with lysis of cristae were observed three-dimensionally. After 8 weeks, the three-dimensional structure of the SR showed extensive spherical ballooning which could be seen clearly in bold relief. Thus, we could directly visualize structural alterations of the sarcotubular system in DXR-induced cardiomyopathy using the SEM. 相似文献

Cross sections through the middle segment of the anuran rectus abdominis muscle were analyzed morphometrically at nine stages of development, from early larval life through full maturity. The numbers, sizes, and relative distributions of twitch and slow muscle fibers, newly differentiated fibers, degenerating fibers, and satellite cells were determined at each stage. The data indicate that the muscle increases slowly in size and fiber content during early larval life. New fibers appear to form primarily along the medial margin of the muscle. During mid-larval stages, when thyroid hormone levels are rising, new fibers form throughout the medial portion of the muscle. At a slightly later stage, fibers in the lateral region of the muscle begin to degenerate. Structurally normal presynaptic elements are present on both degenerating fibers and the empty basal laminae of fibers that had been removed by phagocytes. Both fiber formation and fiber loss slow during midmetamorphic climax, at the time when thyroid hormone levels reach a peak in anurans and begin to decline. Degenerating fibers appear within the body of the muscle at the end of metamorphosis. By the end of the second postmetamorphic month, neither degenerating nor newly differentiated fibers are present. The muscle continues to grow through adult life primarily by fiber hypertrophy. 相似文献

A coculture system was employed to study the interactions between endothelium and vascular smooth muscle cells in arachidonic acid metabolism. Bovine aortic endothelial cells grown on micropore filters impregnated with gelatin and coated with fibronectin are mounted on polystyrene chambers and suspended over confluent smooth muscle cultures. The endothelial basal laminae are oriented toward the underlying smooth muscle, and the two layers are separated by only 1 mm. Each cell layer was assayed individually: apical and basolateral fluid also was collected separately for assay. Fatty acids, including arachidonic acid, are readily transferred between the endothelial and smooth muscle cells in this system. Distribution of the incorporated fatty acids among the lipids of each cell is the same as when the fatty acid is added directly to the culture medium. Arachidonic acid released from endothelial cells is available as a substrate for prostaglandin production by smooth muscle. In addition, fatty acids released from the smooth muscle cells can pass through the endothelium and accumulate in the fluid bathing the endothelial apical surface. These fatty acid interchanges may be involved in cell-cell signaling within the vascular wall, the clearance of lipids from the vascular wall, or the redistribution of arachidonic acid and other polyunsaturated fatty acids between adjacent cell types. Furthermore, the findings suggest that prostaglandin production by smooth muscle cells can occur in response to stimuli that cause arachidonic acid release from endothelial cells. 相似文献
