    Notes: Abstract. Indirect double immunofluorescence labelling in the pharynx and lung of the bullfrog, Rana catesbeiana, demonstrated the occurrence, distribution, and coexistence of two neuropeptides. In the pharynx, immunoreactive calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and substance P (SP) were localized in nerve fibers distributed within and just beneath the ciliated epithelium. In the lung, CGRP and SP were localized in nerve fibers in five principal locations: 1) within the smooth muscle layer in the interfaveolar septa; 2) in the luminal thickened edges of the septa; 3) around the pulmonary vasculature; 4) within, and 5) under the ciliated epithelium. Within the smooth muscle layer in the septa, luminal thickened septa, and around blood vessels, almost all fibers showed coexistence of CGRP and SP. Within and just beneath the ciliated epithelium in the thickened septa, all fibers showed coexistence of CGRP and SP. No immunoreactivity for vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, neuropeptide Y, galanin, somatostatin, FMRFamide, and leucine- and methionine-enkephalins was detected in the nerve fibers within the larynx and the lung. Together with our previous data, the present findings suggest that peptidergic mechanisms are involved in the regulation of amphibian respiratory systems throughout their life.

    Distribution of galanin-immunoreactive nerve fibers in the carotid labyrinth of the bullfrog, Rana catesbeiana: comparison with substance P-immunoreactive fibers (1995)

    Notes: Abstract Immunoreactivity of galanin (GAL) was detected in the nerve fibers distributed within the intervascular stroma of the bullfrog carotid labyrinth. GAL-immunoreactive fibers are numerous, and some are close to the sinusoidal plexus. Most GAL fibers appear as thin processes with some varicosities. A combination of indirect double immunofluorescence labelling and image processing clearly demonstrated that the distribution patern of GAL fibers is different from that of SP fibers. This indicates that GAL and SP do not coexist in the same nerve fibers. The role of GAL fibers may be different from that of previously reported neuropeptides (substance P, calcitonin gene-related peptide, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, neuropeptide Y, and others) as a neuromodulator in controlling vascular tone of the labyrinth.

    Notes: Abstract Double immunohistochemical staining with rhodamine- and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated antisera revealed the coexistence of substance P (SP) and neuropeptide Y (NPY), and SP and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in most nerve fibers in the intervascular stroma of the carotid labyrinth of the bull-frog, Rana catesbeiana, although there were a few fibers which showed only SP- or NPY-immunoreactivity. Approximately one third of SP-immunoreactive fibers also showed coexistence with vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP)-immunoreactivity, and a few fibers contained VIP without SP. The combination of the double immunofluorescence technique and alternate consecutive sections further demonstrated the possible coexistence of SP, VIP, NPY, and CGRP. This coexistence of four different peptides in the same nerve fibers was proved by the following two evident facts: 1) some SP fibers which demonstrated coexistence with NPY-immunoreactivity were assumed to be continuous with those showing VIP-immunoreactivity, and 2) almost all of the SP fibers showed coexistence with CGRP-immunoreactivity. By this reasoning, nearly one third of SP fibers may demonstrate coexistence with NPY-, VIP-, and CGRP-immunoreactivities. These multiple peptides might be involved in vascular regulatory function, which is a possible function of the amphibian carotid labyrinth.

    Notes: Abstract Indirect double immunofluorescence labelling for demonstrating nine neuropeptides in the kidney of the bullfrog, Rana catesbeiana, revealed for the first time the occurrence, distribution, and coexistence of certain neuropeptides in the kidney of the submammalian vertebrates. Substance P, neuropeptide Y, and calcitonin generelated peptide were localized in nerve fibers distributed along the afferent arterioles connected with the glomeruli, and along the capillary network between uriniferous tubules. Neuropeptide Y and calcitonin gene-related peptide immunoreactive fibers were more numerous than substance P immunoreactive fibers. In these two regions, about one half of the neuropeptide Y or calcitonin in gene-related peptide fibers contained substance P. No immunoreactivity of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, somatostatin, FMRFamide, or leucine- and methionine-enkephalins was detected in the bullfrog kidney.

    Notes: Abstract. Distribution of neuropeptide Y (NPY)-, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP)-, galanin (GAL)-, substance P (SP)-, and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)-immunoreactive nerve fibers in the human submandibular gland was examined by the peroxidase-antiperoxidase method with attention to high-quality fixation and the condition of patients. NPY-, VIP-, and GAL-immunoreactive varicose fibers were densely distributed around the acini and ducts. Some of these fibers extended between acinar cells. The density of SP- and CGRP-immunoreactive fibers was relatively low. The number of NPY-, VIP-, and GAL-immunoreactive fibers around the mucous acini was significantly higher than around the serous acini. In the perivasculature, NPY-immunoreactive fibers were more numerous than other immunoreactive fibers. No somatostatin-, leucine-, or methionine-enkephalin-immunoreactive fibers were detected. Our findings suggest that a large number of periacinar VIP-, NPY-, and GAL-immunoreactive fibers may participate in regulating the synthesis of saliva and its secretion. Since the VIP-, NPY-, and GAL-immunoreactive fibers are more numerous around the mucous acini than around the serous ones, these fibers may take part more actively in regulating the secretory mechanisms in the mucous acini than in the serous ones. The relatively low number of CGRP- and SP-immunoreactive fibers suggests that they are less involved in the function of the human submandibular gland. Perivascular peptidergic fibers, especially NPY-immunoreactive fibers, may be involved in controlling local blood flow in this gland.

    Notes: Abstract  The time of appearance and distribution of substance P (SP)-like immunoreactivity in the granular convoluted tubule cells of the developing male mouse submandibular glands were examined, and the subcellular localization of SP-like immunoreactivity was investiagted by electron microscopy. At 25 days of age, SP-like immunoreactivity was first detected in the supranuclear cytoplasm of the granular convoluted tubule cells, which occurred either singly or in small clusters. At 30 and 35 days of age, granular convoluted tubule cells with SP-like immunoreactivity were more numerous than in the earlier stages, as the volume ratio of the cells increased. Not all granular convoluted tubule cells demonstrated SP-like immunoreactivity. The number of cells with SP-like immunoreactivity decreased at 60 days of age, and these cells had completely disappeared at 90 days of age. Most, but not all, secretory granules in the granular convoluted tubule cells were strongly labeled with gold particles, indicating that the subcellular site of SP-like substance is in the secretory granules within the cells. The findings suggest that the physiological role of the SP-like substance secreted from the GCT cells is restricted to the early postnatal stages, and that it may be involved in the development of the oral mucosa or digestive tract as a trophic factor.
