    Notes: Abstract. Fracture repair provides an interesting model for chondrogenesis and osteogenesis as it recapitulates in an adult organism the same steps encountered during embryonic skeletal development and growth. The fracture callus is not only a site of rapid production of cartilage and bone, but also a site of extensive degradation of their extracellular matrices. The present study was initiated to increase our understanding of the roles of different proteolytic enzymes, cysteine cathepsins B, H, K, L, and S, and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) 9 and 13, during fracture repair, as this aspect of bone repair has previously received little attention. Northern analysis revealed marked upregulation of cathepsin K, MMP-9, and MMP-13 mRNAs during the first and second weeks of healing. The expression profiles of these mRNAs were similar with that of osteoclastic marker enzyme tartrate-resistant alkaline phosphatate (TRAP). The changes in the mRNA levels of cathepsins B, H, L, and S were smaller when compared with those of the other enzymes studied. Immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization confirmed the predominant localization of cathepsin K and MMP-9 and their mRNA in osteoclasts and chondroclasts at the osteochondral junction. MMP-13 was present in osteoblasts and individual hypertrophic chondrocytes near the cartilage-bone interphase. In cartilaginous callus, the expression of cathepsins B, H, L, and S was mainly related to chondrocyte hypertrophy. During bone remodeling both osteoblasts and osteoclasts contained these cathepsins. The present data demonstrate that degradation and remodeling of extracellular matrices during fracture healing involves activation of MMP-13 production in hypertrophic chondrocytes and osteoblasts, and cathepsin K and MMP-9 production in osteoclasts and chondroclasts.

    Notes: Summary Two neuropeptides, substance P and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, have been shown to increase secretion of exocrine glands. We have studied immunohistochemically the intra- and exorbital lacrimal glands of the rat and the guinea pig for the presence of substance P-like and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide-like immunoreactive (SPLI and VIPLI, respectively) nerve fibers. Both SPLI and VIPLI nerve fibers were found surrounding glandular acini, secretory ducts and blood vessels. Their distribution, however, was uneven. The SPLI fibers predominated around the ducts whereas VIPLI fibers predominated around acini. The results suggest that the two neuropeptides may both regulate the lacrimal secretion, but they may have two different sites of actions because they prevail in different locations.

    Notes: Abstract The time of appearance and distribution of substance P (SP) and neurokinin A (NKA) immunoreactive nerve fibres in developing salivary glands of the rat were studied by the use of indirect immunohistochemical methods. The glands were examined at daily intervals from the 15th day in utero (i.u.) until birth, and subsequently on the 2nd, 5th, 7th, 12th, 16th and 30th postnatal day. The findings were compared to samples from adult. The first SP- and NKA-immunoreactive (IR) nerve fibres appeared on the 19th day i.u. in the parotid and submandibular glands and were abundantly distributed around developing ductal branches. In the mesenchyme around the developing ductal branches of the parotid gland the fibres appeared on the 20th day i.u. In the submandibular gland NKA-IR fibres appeared in the mesenchyme surrounding the developing ductal branches on the 19th day i.u. and SP-IR fibres on the 21st day i.u. Around blood vessels of both glands, SP- and NKA-IR fibres made their appearance only much later, on the second postnatal day. The number of SP- and NKA-IR nerve fibres in the developing salivary glands was already high on the 19th day i.u. when they were first detected. From this point up to the 16th postnatal day the glands were richly innervated by the fibres, but later the numbers slowly decreased to adult levels. The abundance of SP- and NKA-IR nerve fibres especially around the ductal branches and secretory structures in the developing salivary glands suggests a role in the functional maturation of salivary glands.

    Notes: Abstract Developing submandibular, trigeminal and superior cervical ganglia, which provide innervation to the submandibular glands, were studied for substance P (SP)-and neurokinin A (NKA)-immunoreactive (IR) ganglion cells and nerve fibres in rat. These ganglia were examined by using an indirect immunofluorescence technique at daily intervals from the 16th day in utero (i.u.) until birth, and subsequently on the 2nd, 5th, 7th, 12th, 16th, 30th, 42nd postnatal day and in the adult (3 months). In the submandibular ganglion SP- and NKA-IR cells and fibres first appeared in considerable numbers on the 19th day i.u. (in one sample out of five on the 18th day i.u.), when more than 90% of the ganglion cells were immunoreactive to SP and NKA. The number stayed at more than 90% to the 7th postnatal day and then slowly decreased to the levels of adult animals (18% SP, 17% NKA). The first SP- and NKA-IR ganglion cells and fibres appeared in the trigeminal ganglion on the 18th day i.u. when they represented 7% (SP) and 4% (NKA) of the ganglion cells. The number of SP- and NKA-IR cells increased steadily, reaching a maximum at the time of birth when 68% (SP) and 74% (NKA) of the ganglion cells were immunoreactive. Thereafter they began to decrease toward the level of an adult rat (10% SP, 11% NKA). In the superior cervical ganglion only a few SP-and NKA-IR ganglion cells were detected from the 19th day i.u. to the fifth postnatal day. Positive ganglion cells were also occasionally found in the nerve trunks outside the superior cervical ganglion. From the seventh day onwards no SP- or NKA-IR ganglion cells were found. SP-and NKA-IR SIF (small intensively fluorescent) cells were detected from the 16th postnatal day onwards.

    Notes: Summary The presence of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), as well as its precursor (5-HTP) and metabolite (5-HIAA), were biochemically determinated in the trigeminal ganglion of the guinea pig and rat. The distribution of 5-HT in the ganglion and in its posterior root was studied using both indirect immunofluorescence and the peroxidase-antiperoxidase method. In order to increase the possible 5-HT content of primary sensory neurons for subsequent immunohistochemical visualization, animals were first treated with nialamide, an inhibitor of monoamine oxidase, and then loaded with l-tryptophan. Another group of animals received colchicine to inhibit intra-axonal transport of transmitter substances. However, even combined use of loading and colchicine treatment did not reveal 5-HT immunoreactivity in ganglion cells. The only source of 5-HT immunoreactivity in the trigeminal ganglion and its posterior root was mast cells. These cells were located around the ganglion in adjacent leptomeningeal and connective tissues, as well as between the ganglion cells and nerve fibers. Only occasionally were mast cells found in the posterior root of the ganglion.

    Notes: Summary Indirect immunofluorescence technique was used to study the occurrence and distribution of CGRP immunoreactivity in the submandibular gland of normal rats and after unilateral sensory and sympathetic denervations. In normal rats, CGRP-immunoreactive nerve fibers and nerve trunks were seen around or in close contact with interlobular salivary ducts as well as around small blood vessels of the gland. Occasionally, CGRP-immunoreactive nerve fibers were also detected between or around the acini of the gland. The submandibular ganglia contained CGRP-immunoreactive nerve fibers, but the ganglion cells were not immunoreactive for CGRP. The trigeminal ganglion contained a population of CGRP-immunoreactive, mainly small sized ganglion cells and nerve fibers distributed throughout the ganglion. Unilateral electrocoagulation of the trigeminal nerve caused a significant reduction in the number of immunoreactive nerve fibers in the gland, although some fibers still were present in the ipsilateral glandular tissue. Unilateral superior cervical ganglionectomy caused no detectable effect on the number of CGRP-immunoreactive nerve fibers in the gland. The present results suggest that the rat submandibular gland contains CGRP-immunoreactive nerve fibers both around blood vessels and in glandular secretory elements. Denervation experiments support the view that the majority, but perhaps not all of them originate from the trigeminal ganglion.

    Notes: Summary The trigeminal ganglion of rat and guinea pig was studied for the presence of immunoreactive substance-P using fluorescence, light and electronmicroscopy. In untreated animals substance P containing cells, with a diameter of 15 to 50 μm, were distributed throughout the ganglion and comprised 10–30% of all ganglion cells. Colchicine, injected intraventricularily to inhibit intra-axonal transport, had no effect on the number of substance P cells; but when the drug was injected directly into the posterior root of the ganglion, the proprotion of these cells increased to as much as 50%. In the electron microscope, immunoreactive substance-P was confined to ganglion cells classified as B type according to the arrangement of subcellular organelles, and to unmyelinated nerve fibers. Subcellularily the immunoreactivity appeared in cytoplasmic vesicles, as well as dispersed in the nerve fibers and the perikarya of neurons. The great number of substance P immunoreactive ganglion cells suggests that they do not comprise a well defined subpopulation of the B-cells.However, the immunoreactivity was restricted to a distinct ultrastructural type of neurons with unmyelinated nerve fibers, suggesting that they also may share some distinct functions.

    Notes: Abstract. The distribution and origin of substance P (SP) and neurokinin A (NKA) were studied in rat in the anterior buccal glands, which are minor mucous salivary glands. Indirect immunofluorescence staining showed moderate SP and NKA innervation of salivary acini and interlobular ducts, whereas blood vessels were more sparsely innervated, and there were few nerve fibers in the stroma and around the intralobular ducts. About 10%–20% of the trigeminal ganglion cells showed equally strong immunoreactivity to both SP and NKA. Unilateral denervation of the branches of the trigeminal nerve caused complete disappearance of the stromal fibers and greatly reduced the number of all other SP-immunoreactive and NKA-immunoreactive nerve fibers. In the superior cervical ganglia, SP and NKA immunoreactivity was restricted to small intensely fluorescent cells; SP and NKA immunoreactivity was absent from principal ganglionic cells, and thus sympathectomy had no any effect on the number or distribution of fibers immunoreactive for SP and NKA in the anterior buccal glands. The fibers remaining after sensory denervation could have been of parasympathetic origin, indicating a dual origin of nerves immunoreactive for SP and NKA in these glands. The present data demonstrate that the major part of the glandular SP and NKA innervation in the minor salivary glands derives from the trigeminal ganglia. The distribution of the peripheral nerve fibers indicates that they may play a role in the delivery of potent neuropeptides involved in the vascular, secretory, and motor (myoepithelial cells) functions of salivary glands.
